How might tourists cause damage to a holiday destination
Tourists might cause damage to a holiday destination by walking in places they shouldn’ t and damaging the surrounding area. They might also drop litter, write graffiti, or take artifacts home with them. They might not realise what they are doing is wrong, nor understand the extent of the damage they are causing. It is very important to preserve places of natural beauty because we have an obligation to look after them so that future generations can appreciate them. The world is a beautiful place and it is a pleasure to look at it. Who wants to live somewhere ugly?
An essay“ Should we be allowed to take as many flights per year as we like or not?”
When we talk about air pollution, we usually discuss the traffic on the roads. But what about planes? Flying can be just as bad for the environment and some people have suggested limiting flights. As with most issues there are both advantages and disadvantages. If flights were limited then air quality would definitely improve. Because planes release a lot of polluting CO2 into the atmosphere, there should be some sort of control on the number of planes in the air. Also, flying uses up an incredible amount of fuel at a time when our supplies of fossil fuels are in danger of running out. On the other hand, people say that we do not limit the number of cars on the road, so why should we place restrictions on the air. In addition, recent campaigns have led to improvements in cars to make them less harmful to the environment, so why can’ t this be done for airplanes? There are no easy answers to this complicated problem. I believe we should not limit people’ s freedom to travel but, on the other hand, we do need to protect our planet in whatever ways we possibly can.
A dialogue about where to go travelling
A: I’ m so pleased that we’ re going travelling together this summer. There are so many exciting places we could visit! For example, going on a‘ Wilderness Survival’ course in Wales. B: Wales sounds good, but I’ m not sure about going on a Survival course – they probably wouldn’ t give us much food! A: I hadn’ t thought of that! Well, where else could we go? B: We could tour Ireland in a horse-drawn caravan. That would be different! A: Yes, and uncomfortable too! I don’ t like horses much, either! Why don’ t we go trekking in the Scottish Highlands? B: I like the idea of going to Scotland, but I don’ t fancy trekking – I want to relax when I’ m on holiday! Cruising the English canals might be fun! A: I’ ve always fancied going on a boating holiday! That’ s a brilliant idea! B: Excellent! So, we’ re agreed.
