👉GETTING STARTED
You've got a nice tan.
1. Listen and read. 🎧
Tom: Hi, An.
An: Hi, Tom. You've got a nice tan.
Tom: Well, I've just got back from Bali.
An: Bali? Where is it?
Tom: It's in Indonesia. My family flew there for a holiday, and we spent most of the time on the beach. That's how I got this tan.
An: Awesome. Tell me more about Bali.
Tom: Sure. It's an ideal destination for holidaymakers, especially those who love the sea.
An: It must be beautiful!
Tom: Very. It's well-known for its natural beauty, sunny beaches, and terraced fields.
An: Is it expensive to travel there?
Tom: Not really. My father was able to buy cheap air tickets and rent a cheap accommodation. He usually uses travel apps for our domestic and international holidays.
An: Where did you stay?
Tom: We stayed in a three-star hotel which is just a ten-minute walk from the sea. Have you been somewhere for holiday?
An: Yeah. Last year my family travelled to Da Nang. We ate different types of local food, and they all were so delicious. My brother said it was a perfect destination for food tourists.
Tom: Yes, I love food tourism, too. There are also other types of tourism like shopping tourism or sports tourism.
An: I didn't know that. Well, I'll try one of those someday.
