Your dream holiday

If money wasn’t an issue, what would your dream holiday look like? Use at least one word from each block of the table on the next slide, but don’t limit yourself, be creative! Say what means of transport you would choose and why, what type of holidays you’d have, where you would stay, what places of interest you would visit and what your impressions might be.

Example

If money wasn’t an issue, I would go on a deluxe package holiday7 to Egypt with my entire family. We’d go by plane (first class of course). Even though I’m a bit afraid of flying, it’s the quickest and most convenient8 means of travelling. We would stay at a luxurious hotel in a deluxe suite, which would be both comfortable and spacious9. From our room we’d have an excellent view of the infinity pool. During the day we’d visit stone pyramids and museums. It would be the trip of a lifetime.

Use the following patterns: 

• I would like to go to ...
• I would visit ...
• I could ...
• It would be ...

Now type down your dream holidays!
