Which Vacation Spot Should I Visit?
I managed to get a 3-week [vocab word=holiday]holiday[/vocab] from work! I need some recommendations for travel [vocab word=destination]destinations[/vocab]. Where do you think I should visit?
"I managed to get a holiday" means I was successful in getting a holiday.
That's great! You could visit Japan, as it's a [vocab word=unique]unique[/vocab] and [vocab word=fascinating]fascinating[/vocab] country.
Wendy uses "could" to make a positive suggestion. It's not too strong; it's just an idea.
Japan sounds interesting, but I'm also considering some European destinations. Where do you think I should go in Europe?
You absolutely have to visit Italy. It has impressive [vocab word=history]historical[/vocab] [vocab word=site]sites[/vocab], amazing food, and beautiful [vocab word=scenery]scenery[/vocab].
"You have to visit Italy" here means you should visit Italy. It's a strong suggestion or recommendation (but not an obligation).
Italy sounds amazing. Do you know any lesser-known destinations?
A "lesser-known" destination means few people know the destination.
Yes, you should also consider Malta. It's a small [vocab word=Mediterranean]Mediterranean[/vocab] [vocab word=island]island[/vocab] with beautiful beaches and a rich history.
"Should" is a modal verb for suggestion, but it's weaker than "have to" or "must".
Malta, huh? What about some nature-focused destinations? I love hiking and being outdoors.
A "nature-focused" destination has lots of nature (forest, lakes, mountains, etc.).
Oh, then you have got to go to New Zealand. The country has [vocab word=stunning]stunning[/vocab] [vocab word=landscape]landscapes[/vocab] and [vocab word=plenty]plenty[/vocab] of outdoor activities. And, did you know that there are five sheep for every resident in New Zealand?
"You have got to ..." is similar to "You have to ..." It's a way of making a strong recommendation.
I didn't know that! To be honest, New Zealand might be a bit far for this trip. What's a good nature-focused destination closer to home?
In that case, you could explore the Canadian Rockies. There are amazing hiking [vocab word=trail]trails[/vocab] and beautiful [vocab word=lake]lakes[/vocab] in that region. You must also visit Whistler for an amazing [vocab word=ski]ski[/vocab] experience!
"You must ..." is a way of making a strong recommendation.
That's a great recommendation! Are there any other good European destinations [vocab word=besides]besides[/vocab] Italy?
"besides Italy" means "other than Italy". Rick wants to know other European destinations other than Italy.
You could visit Portugal. Many people visit the beaches this time of the year.
Thanks for all these amazing suggestions, Wendy! I'll definitely look into them.
To "look into" something means you'll research about it or look up information about it.
Have you [vocab word=renew]renewed[/vocab] your [vocab word=passport]passport[/vocab], yet?
Notice the word "renew" is "re" + "new". "Re" means "again". So "renew" is almost like to make it new again.
You should renew your passport [vocab word=as soon as possible]as soon as possible[/vocab]. The wait time is around 2 to 3 weeks.
Right... My holiday is in a month, so I have to renew it right away!
"My holiday is in a month" means 1 month later, his holiday starts.
