Part 2: Describe a memorable holiday


Last summer, I spent about a week going to Vung Tau with my friends, and it was awesome. I study far
from home, so I usually come back home during the summer break.

However, last year I decided to do something new before coming home, and I had created great
memories with my friends. We hired an apartment, and it was very comfortable and convenient. We
spent most of our time hanging around and playing on the beach.

Vung Tau was not a new place to us, but we enjoyed the atmosphere and the sights there. Therefore,
we went to many places such as the lighthouse and pagodas, and we took a lot of pictures. We ate out
for the first two days, but later we decided to buy the ingredients to cook at home. It was cheaper and
more delicious, so we had a chance to eat many different kinds of seafood.

We all went home after a week, but it was such a great experience that we are planning on doing it
again next year.
Part 3:
A. The benefits of travel
1. Do you think it’s true that travel broadens the mind?

According to me, traveling is a great way to expand your sphere of thinking. Start traveling. Every
journey teaches you something. Look out of the window. You are just in a small, little world. But, see the
world that’s outside the window. So BIG. Explore it. Through travel, person learn about their limitations
and realize a new side of themselves. They keep their eyes open before taking any step because what
they feel is normal may be beyond the norms there. All these things made them more flexible and
accustomed to new customs and traditions.

2. Do young people and older people benefit differently from traveling?

The benefits of traveling can vary based on age and life experiences. Both young and older travelers
benefit from travel, but their motivations, preferences, and how they derive value from their
experiences can differ based on their stage in life. The key is that travel has the potential to enrich lives
at any age

3. How can you make sure you get the most from your travels?

I've always believed that the greatest way to make the most of your vacation is to learn a little bit of the
language of the nation you're visiting. In this manner, you can avoid being perceived by the locals as an
outsider and instead be seen as someone who has made an attempt to acquire a few terms and
expressions. and thereby shows curiosity about their way of life.

B. The impact of tourism


1. What are the positive impacts of tourism?

Tourism can have several positive impacts on both destinations and the travelers themselves. A positive
impact can refer to an increase in jobs, a higher quality of life for locals, and an increase in the wealth of
an area. Tourism also has the advantage of rebuilding and restoring historic sites and encouraging the
revitalization of cultures. Travel experiences can broaden perspectives, increase cultural awareness, and
lead to personal growth by exposing individuals to new ideas, lifestyles, and challenges.

2. What about the negative impacts of tourism?

Tourism often puts pressure on natural resources through over-consumption, often in places where
resources are already scarce. Tourism puts enormous stress on local land use and can lead to soil
erosion, increased pollution, natural habitat loss, and more pressure on endangered species.
Sometimes, tourism can bring negative cultural exchanges, such as disrespectful behavior by tourists,
cultural misunderstandings, or exploitation of local customs for profit.

3. How has tourism impacted tourist sites in your country?

Tourism has had a significant impact on tourist sites in various ways in many countries, including my
hypothetical one. Tourist sites become economic hubs, creating jobs directly in the tourism industry and
indirectly in related sectors. Tourism can encourage the promotion and preservation of local culture,
traditions, and crafts. Communities may revive cultural events or practices to share their heritage with
visitors, fostering a renewed sense of pride. However, tourism's impact isn't always entirely positive.
Over-tourism can lead to challenges such as environmental degradation, strain on infrastructure, and
cultural erosion if not managed sustainably.
