Writing Task

Write an article for the magazine about the pros and cons of taking holidays in the UK

rather than abroad.

In your article, you should:

• outline the advantages and disadvantages of taking holidays in the UK

• explain your own views on holidays in the UK

• describe your ideal holiday in the UK or abroad.

The purpose of a holiday is to switch off from your everyday life and experience something new and exciting. You can achieve this both by having holidays in the UK or travelling abroad.          

  On the one hand, the advantages for the UK holidays are that you can save money, it's the most eco-friendly option and it's just easier.    

  Even when you have found a great travel deal, things like airport taxes, long flights, taxi transport to and from the airport and extra luggage from holiday tend to increase the amount of money spent abroad. Also, you can easily get drawn to restaurant and attractions that are mainly for tourists with extra heavy wallets. When you stay in the UK you can go on side streets and ask the locals for recommendations.

Flying is a more polluting practice than driving, so, if we choose to stay in the UK for holiday, we can reduce the negative impact we have on the nature.

  The final point for staying in the UK holiday is that it is just easier to have holiday in the UK than going abroad, no matter the country. When going abroad, you have to be at the airport two hours before the take off, the are a lot of delays in flights, you also get worried about the extra cost for the luggage and the endless queues are some of the disadvantages. All these disappera when you drive your own car heading towards a very nice place in the UK.

  On the other hand, the negative aspect of holidays in the UK is the weather. It can rain for days and it can ruin a well prepared holiday.

   I prefer a holiday in the UK in a citibreak like Edinburgh, for example. I can enjoy  new food and culture experiences. My ideal holiday is a one week period in Edinburgh or another great English city. I will explore it step by step, no vehicles used inside the city but by walking. I can ask locals about legends or other memorable things about the location and also ask them about the places where to eat and enjoy culinary experiences to be remembered.
