Band 8+: Describe a memorable holiday you have had: You should say:, Where you went Who you went with What you did there And explain why it was memorable for you.

I’m lucky because I did several trips in my life, but if I have to talk about one, a memorable one, I talk about Costa Rica. I went there with my family when I was something like 16, I think, it was in 2017. And so I went with my mother, my stepfather, my big brother and I. And yeah, it was a road trip. It means like we didn’t stay in a single city for two weeks, but we traveled around the country. We went to different places like the forest, the jungle, the beach, the city. We went to the capital, San José. And I really, really enjoyed going to Costa Rica because there are several reasons. Firstly, because I could practice my Spanish skills, I could talk with the locals, so I particularly liked that. Secondly, I really enjoyed Costa Rica because of the locals. They are so kind. They are always ready to help. They are always smiling, even if they don’t know you, you know. And last but not least, really not least, I enjoyed a lot the local cuisine, you know. The food there were amazing and I still go to South American restaurants in Paris because I particularly liked it. And yeah, we did many things, a lot of visits. And I remember we went to a tree top, an adventure park. And there I was slung by a bee, but I’m allergic. So I was so afraid because my feet became so big and I was so afraid, but everything went well, so I’m still alive. But yeah, it was amazing. I really enjoyed Costa Rica and I think I would like to go back there sometime.
