These days, we always expect to hear English in tourist areas. Most people
working in tourism speak it, but I always want to talk to local people and many
of them don’t speak English. So I try to learn a few words of the language,
especially ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, and I always take a small dictionary.
2
I love walking when I go on holiday … ‘cause I think … I think you see more,
so I always take a really good pair of walking boots.
3
I think a good digital camera is important when you travel. I always take a lot
of of photos. And I also take binoculars.
4
When I’m not travelling for work, I usually spend my holidays in a warm place,
so I always take a sun hat. But when I go somewhere during the winter or
rainy season, I always take waterproof clothes.

I think it’s a good idea to buy a really good suitcase. And when you pack,
leave enough space for souvenirs. On the other hand, I enjoy travelling in wild
places, so often I take a backpack not a suitcase. If you decide to go walking,
a backpack is much easier to carry.
6
It’s best to avoid carrying too much money because you don’t want to look like
a rich tourist! ‘Cause of this, I always take a money belt on holiday.
7
I need to write things down to remember them so I take a notebook and pen.

To get to Argentina, you wait at the corner for the bus. It takes you down
Avenida das Cataratas and right into Avenida Mercosul. The bus goes straight
on for about 25 minutes. Cross the bridge and you’re in Argentina.

To see the Iguaçu Falls on the Brazilian side, you turn right and just go
straight on down Avenida das Cataratas and Highway 469 and the Falls are in
front of you. You can’t miss them – they’re the biggest in the world!
3
To get to Paraguay, you have to go left. You go along the main road through
the park past the trees. Then you turn right and you’re on Avenida Kubitschek.
Let’s see. From there you keep going until you reach Highway 277. Go left.
The bridge is at the end of the highway. Cross the bridge and you’re in

UNIT 5 Recording 8
OK, well, we would like to go to Easter Island. It is very isolated, very far from
other places, and the nearest country is Chile, over two thousand miles away.
We are going to travel there by plane and stay with different families and the
trip is going to take three months. We want to experience the local culture,
their music, food and way of life. So our plan is to speak to the local people
about these things and to film them. We hope to find out about their traditions
and to see what they think of their history. Well, finally, my husband and I
always wanted to go to Easter Island. I read about it when I was a child and I
saw pictures of these amazing stone heads on the island. So for us, this is the
journey of our dreams
