    On my last holiday I went to Egypt with my parents for two weeks.We hit the beach nearby the hotel,drank cocktails,swam,sunbathed and rode a camel. It was out of this world! Also we did some sightseeing in Hurgada as well as: stunning historical pyramids,the statues of the famous pharaohs and many others fascinating things. Hurgada is a cosmopolitan and touristy place. Mostly I went to the mini disko and danced with another children. The hotel where I stayed was a huge place with a delicious food from different countries. The staff was funny,hardworking and wonderful people. For my tastes, this hotel is the best place in Hurgada! By the end I want to say that I wasn’t so keen on the Red Sea. There wasn’t many fishes and corals. I was upset by this(( So, I spent excellent time with my family! Thank you for reading my story from my life. And thanks for your channel. It helped me to write the story about my holidays! :)

    My parents and I went to Odessa for two weeks. We went to the beach every day. We often went to the different excursions. Odessa is cosmopolitan and overwhelming but it is dramatic and picturesque city too. There are stunning beaches and there are also many fascinating buildings. I liked the center of Odessa. I disliked that it was big storm for two days and the sea was very cold. In general Odessa is very good place for spend your holidays.

    Last vacation, I went to Da Nang with my husband and my son for 3 days. We chose it because it is one of the most beautiful coastal cities. The first day, we visted Hoi An - one of the oldest stresses. It's very picturesque with old houses and colorful lanterns especially in evening. The second day, we did some sightseeing in Ba Na hill. The hill has spectacular and breathtaking views. It was built according to European architecture. So it's very impressive. The last day, we hit the My Khe beach- one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It's clean and nice. I love going swimming and playing with my son on the sand. I love Da Nang, it is true to say that " Da Nang is the most liveable city in Viet Nam"

      Thanks for sharing your answer, Quynh. Excellent phrases! Here are some corrections for you:
      1) '...lanterns, especially in the evening,' not, '... lanterns especially in evening'.
      2) '...architecture, so it's very impressive,' not, '...architecture. So it's very impressive'.
      Hope this helps you!

    I went in London two years ago with myself for one week. First of all I stayed at the best hotels in the vicinity of city center. Although it was really expensive but it’s convenient because I had easy access to the biggest shopping center so that during my vacation I went to shopping on a daily basis. Secondly, I hit the beach because I believe that going to the beach can lighten my mood. Then I bought some souvenir for my family. Although London has lots of tourist attractions and it was a cool place but it was really noisy for my taste.
    Thank you so much dear teacher 🙏💜

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nice answer! Here are some tips:
      1) '...by myself...' not, 'with'.
      2) '...vicinity of the city center,' not, 'in the'.
      3) 'Although it was really expensive, it was convenient because...' not, 'Although it was really expensive but it’s convenient because...'.
      Hope this is useful for you!

    I went to Istanbul by myself for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed my vacation there because there was something new to do everyday even thought the city could be a bit overwhelming, I was surprised by the amount of people on the main street, I usually prefer to stay away of the crowd. I went up to the galata tower and was mesmerized by the view of the city, this trip was the best one so far, I met incredible people and tried local food. Those memories will be in my heart forever.

      '' I went to Egypt with my family ,so
      We have been in there for 3 years I worked at a coffee, I had been working in there 3 monthes ,although I love this place it was amount of people in there,
      So , I left in there, because I needed to study my Subjects.
      I got on 65% degree ,but they ruin me I should be 85 %
      Because I failed 1 once in school for being a college
      That was worse thing in my life.

    My wife and I went to Curitiba for five days. We did a lot of sightseeing: Botanical Garden, Ópera de Arame, Santa Felicidade neighbourhood and so on. We also went hiking to the Tanguá Park, which is a fascinating and peaceful place to relax. The downtown is awesome, because there are many shops, restaurants and cafes. It is a very wooded scenery that mixes buildings with nature. There are also other amazing places in the city, but we couldn’t visit all of them. We liked the people we met - everyone was so open and welcoming. It is a stunning city, but by the end we are getting quite tired, because there are so many places to go.

      Hi Lucas. Thanks for telling us about your vacation. Here are some corrections for you:
      1) 'We also went hiking to Tanguá Park,' not, '...to the'.
      2) Even though these places and details exist now in Curitiba, we usually use the past tense to describe the city because it is part of our experience we had there. For example: 'The downtown was so awesome because there were so many shops...' not, 'The downtown is awesome, because there are many shops...'.
      Hope this is useful for you!

    I went to Ha Giang by myself for one month. I travelled around, did some hiking and mortorcycling with new friends I met along way, and explored the countryside. I was staying in many different accomdations during the trip, in local houses and homestays , which are surrounded with mountains and villages dotted around the sides. It was beautiful in a wild way, and the emptiness gave me a real feeling of isolation and solitude. I liked the people I met-everyone was so open and welcoming. It's always been a nice memory I've never forgetten

    I went to Greece with a group of children for 18 days. Mostly we went to the sea and swam. We also did sightseeing in Athens. Sometimes our group went to the village and hung out there. It was a very sleepy village. Athens is a stunning city but it is very touristy. Athens has fascinating beaches with blue water. Greece has many picturesque views. I liked the people, they were friendly and welcoming. Sometimes it was boring because all the days were pretty similar. I liked the general atmosphere most of all.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1

      Excellent response, Phuong! Here are a few suggestions for you:
      1) Don't forget to always capitalize 'I'.
      2) '...was in high school,' not, 'was high school'.
      3) '...which helped me socialize...' not, 'helps'.
      Hope this is useful for you!

    On my last vacation, I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. we stayed in a very picturesque, a sleepy village surrounded by some dramatic mountain scenery. I traveled around, did some hiking and camping, and explored the countryside. on the other hand, the nights were so cold, we wish we'd taken a warmer sleeping bag.

    I went to New York with my parents for a long weekend. Mostly, we went on a walking tour of the fascinating places in New York and watched fascinating beauty of this city. After that, we rented a flat . It situated in picturesque and sleepy district of New York . In the evening, we went to restaurant in the heart of city.
    There was so noisily, but It’s quite touristy. Atmosphere of this place was out of this world.

    Thank you for the lesson, it was great, as usual.
    Last summer I went to the Carpathian mountains for one week with my family. We stayed in a small sleepy town surrounded by picturesque mountains scenery. We lived in a two-store cottage. The best thing was a view from our window. We enjoyed looking at the mountain covered by the forest and surrounded by the clouds. It was amazing.
    Mostly we went hiking in the mountains and hills nearby looking for mushrooms and blackberry. It was relaxing but on the third day, it started raining and it going on until the last day we were there. But there were a few hours each day without rain usually in the morning and in the evening. We also spend a lot of time just hanging out in the yard near our cottage playing badminton and jumping on a trampoline. I think it was a great idea of cottage's owners to put such sports equipment in the yard. My children liked it so much. There was a river nearby our cottage so we swam there almost every day.
    I supposed that we were able to ride a bike during our vacation, therefore, we took our bicycles from home. Although the cottage was surrounded by mountains with forest there wasn't any pavement on the street only highway road with speedy traffic. I'm not talking about any cycling paths, it is difficult to find them in our country at all, so it was very dangerous to ride on the bike on this road, especially with the children. I wish we had more opportunity to explore the town on the bike.

    I went to Egypt with my family for 8 days.
    We were constantly sunbathing, swimming in the pool,swam in the sea looking at beautiful fishes and having fun in the stunning water park.
    We did some sightseeing and took many fascinating pictures.
    We stay in a picturesque hotel, our room was sleepy and it was good because after having fun in the pool we always wanted to relax and sleep.
    There were many interesting things to do, but sometimes it got boring.

    I went to Turkey last summer with my husband for 10 days. Istanbul is such a picturesque city packed with a rich cultural heritage. Mostly we visited tons of local museums and the infamous Topkapi Palace. The we went to Bursa which gave me the chills, quite literally as it was overwhelmingly cold. Oh and the food, Turkish cuisine is one of the best you will ever eat , absolutely out of this world. We even hit the beaches for some sun, swimming and cocktails! Istanbul has some great ferry rides and is a great place to visit but it's too touristy and crowded for my taste.

    I went to the Korea city of Pusan with a friend of mine for a couple of weeks. Mostly we went some museums which helped me to get useful information of Korean history , the city was pretty awesome and romantic especially at night! and we also hit the beaches and swam with blue water , took some fascinating pictures ,There were lots of other activities to relax However we couldn’t do all of them because we were getting quite tired . In the end of our vacation we got some restaurants and cafes and sampled Korean special dishes but it was too much spicy that i couldn’t eat it anymore. So in all It was such a memorable holiday that i’d ever done

    My mother and I went to Sochi for a week in November. It was a guided tour which included a lot of cultural activities. We visited the stadiums in the Olympic Park. Fisht, Iceberg and other stadiums have an interesting and unique architectural style.
    Then we watched the musical show of the fountain which was amazing. The jets of fountain raised to the sounds of classical and rock music.
    We went up the mountain 2000 km high in a ski lift in Krasnaya Polyana and enjoyed the sight of the summits covered with snow.
    Also we looked at exotic flowers and trees in Arboretum. The variety of plants is great, and we didn't have enough time to see them all. We recall the cosy atmosphere of these place, and we would like to wander its walkways in the shade of trees.
    We sampled some of the local cheese, honey and tea and listened to the farmers who produced them. The products were delicious and we learned a lot about their production.
    Our trip was very eventful and almost every day we walked a lot and visited a great number of places. It was interesting but we were a bit tired.

    I went to Carpathian Mountains with my classmates for a week. At first we went on a walking tour of the sleepy town of Yaremche, where we visited the Hutsul Museum and stunning waterfalls. Then we climbed the Makovitsa mountain, enjoyed dramatic mountain views and breathed the fresh forest air. Moreover, we swam in a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool overlooking the wonderful mountains of the Carpathians. On the one hand, I liked the mountain vacation, because I was impressed by the beauty and nature of the Carpathians. On the other hand, it was a dangerous vacation, because there was often a thunderstorm in the mountains.

    I went to Odessa with my family and our friends for 14 days. We was in Chernomorsk and Sanjeika too. When we walked from Odessa, we saw that it is very cosmopolitan city, but I liked it. But Odessa has its cons. Very durty sea and small of rotten fish. We often swam in the sea, and we felt that water is stunning. We didn't sampled many food, but I ate watermalon every day, and this fruit is beautiful there. I liked walked along a seaside at 5 am, it is very sleepy and picturesque. I want to go there next summer.

    Last summer, my little family took a small trip to Phu Quoc Island for 3 days. We stayed in a beautiful hotel. From our room, we can enjoy the whole picturesque scenery of Phu Quoc Island. The first day, we hit Bai Truong beach-one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The sun blazes and the weather here is very hot. I love going swimming here because the water itself is cool and refreshing. The second day, we did some sightseeing: Ham Ninh fishing village, Phu Quoc prison,...The natural beauty of the village was picturesque and it seemed to me sleepy. At Phu Quoc prison, I had learned more about national history. It is very helpful for me. The last day we all went to the market. I love the seafood so much, all of them was very fresh and tasty! I also bought some souvenirs for my friends. It was a great trip that I will never forget.

      Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you:
      1. From our room, we *could* enjoy the scenery...
      2. 'Picturesque' means that something is beautiful, so you wouldn't say 'the natural beauty was picturesque', because it's redundant.
      3. 'Seafood' is uncountable, so you'd say 'all of *it* was very tasty.'
      Thanks for sharing your answer with us!

    I went to Phuket with a group of 3 friends for 4 days. In the daytime we hit the beaches at Patong Beach and some of surrounding famous ocean for some sun, local gourmet, snorkeling. At night walking around night market with colorful types of decoration makes me like the night atmosphere there most of all.Phuket has a a lot of of stunning beaches covered with soft white sand, but could be a little overwhelming with many foreigners as long as Thailand ethnics ,so therefore it’s quietly difficult to avoid being hit by opposite people for my tastes. This time I wasn’t so keen on the weather ,so I wish it hadn't been so gloomy

    Hello Gina and Jack! This is my text: I traveled to Turkey with my family and our friends for a week. We sunbathed on the sandy beach,swam in the clear, blue sea and sampled fascinating Turkish dishes. The hotel where we stayed was like nowhere l’d ever been before. There was different bars where offered exotic cocktails. Also the hotel had kids rooms where we left my sister. The swimming pool was in the center of the hotel it was very comfortable. But the weather was hot especially in the afternoon,so l couldn’t swim.

    My family and I went to Crimea for all month. We went on excursions, clibed mountains and swam in the sea. I scuba dived, rode a yacht and flew a helicopter. I really enjoyed the sea. But sometimes there were violent storms and the next day there were many jellyfish. We ate a lot of delicious fruits like lychee, mangosteen, pitahaya, etc.

    It's been about a year since I went to Nghe An province which is my hometown with my mother for a couple of weeks. We lived in my grandparents' house, a typical rural house, and spent most of time visiting relatives. I was happy because they all were strong. We also visited Sen village which is known as the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh. It's picturesque but a little touristy, maybe because of its famous, I wasn't keen on it. Then we went to the most stunning beach in my hometown, Cua Lo beach, for swimming. Fortunately, it wasn't as crowded as usual and we had a great time here.

      Hi Hong, thank you for watching and sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you:
      1) 'We stayed at my grandparents' house,' not, 'lived in'.
      2) '...and spent most of our time visiting...' not, 'most of time'.
      3) '...maybe because it's famous,' or, '...maybe because of its fame,' not, 'its famous'.
      Hope this is useful for you!

    I like going on vacations once in 6 months.It helps in rebooting oneself in today’s busy atmosphere. I went to Jabalpur with my family for a long weekend. Jabalpur is in M.P. ,India and is famous for ‘Bhedaghat’ .It’s a stunning waterfall with spectacular views. We clicked some selfies by standing on a platform just beside the fall. We also went for boating, which was super adventurous for us , as we were fortunate enough to see some Crocodiles during the boating tour. There were fascinating views of marble rocks around us , as we sailed through the river. Last but not least ,the food here was sumptuous.

      2) '...lots of people from all over the world,' not, '...lots of people come all-over the world'.
      3) '...during these summer holidays,' not, 'this'.

    I remember clearly about my holiday in Phu Quoc island last year, i went there with my mom for 5 days. We reached the holiday destination by plane. We stayed in a hotel with colorful walls and picturesque view, it looks like Venice in Vietnam. Then, we hit the beach, drank cocktails, watched the sunset. We also went sightseeing the zoo, the aquarium. We took a lot of photos there! And lastly, i really like the people i met, they're so friendly and hospitable. Looking back now, it've always been a nice memory that i would never forgotten.

    Excellent lesson again from the best teachers. You offered us amazing vocabulary and It is very useful for all of us because sometimes I miss appropriate words to express my opinion. My last vacation was nothing special. I wasn't so keen of that. I was in one country in the Europe but I am not so overjoyed with that. Me and my girl went to Annul city and spent there 5 days. As far as me I like active holiday while my girl want to take good place on the beach and enjoy there. The adventure sport is not my cup of tea! I like relaxing and do not thinking of anything. Also, I am not risk seeker on the contrary I am risk averse man. I hate the risk tolerant and risk seekers because they are very dangerous for all of us. We visit some famous landmarks in this famous city. We found a lot of people there, it was really crowded, touristy and overwhelming. It is not my favorite. We did some sightseeing in the center of city. we visited Saint LOVRO church, saint Marko cathedral, Riva coast and Helena hill. This town has stunning beaches and we enjoyed there. During the night we were hanging out and hit the pubs. Mostly we went to the restaurants and tried the local cuisine as much as possible. I adore the pasta with cheese. We avoided a big groups when we went to visit some landmarks. We stayed at amazing house surrounded by dramatic mountains. We found one fascinating restaurant with the scrumptious dishes. The food was well prepared just on the way I like, a little bit spicy. At the end of our vacation became a little bit boring. The same activities for every day. There wasn't much variety from one day to the next. I didn't think that our holiday was very interesting, nothing special. For my taste this town is a very crowded, touristy, and overwhelming. I wish it had been less crowded, though. Thank you once again for your effort. Cheers, Ivan.

      We're so glad you found the lesson useful! Here are a few suggestions for you:
      1) What do you mean by, 'I wasn't so keen of that.' Did you mean, 'I wasn't so interested in it,' or, 'I wasn't so keen on it?'
      2) 'I went to one country in Europe,' not, 'I was in one country in the Europe.'
      3) '...but I was not so overjoyed with that,' not, 'am.'
