Today me and my family are discussing what to do on the next holiday. There are two intriguing options. The first one is a sightseeing holiday in local cities. The second one is to having a trip to the beach. On the one hand for a sightseeing holiday city, we think it is a very good choice to let us to know about a new city. And also we can have a city walk along the footpath and maybe to picking up a new hobby both my family and I like to do. However sometimes the local city will be really crowded on the holidays especially in some very famous places like the Westlake in Hangzhou. You cannot feel the local culture and enjoy the environment in the cities. On the other hand for a trip to the beach we think that is incredible options because I love I really love the beach because I see the blue skies and the blue water can make me feel really delightful and help me to relieve the pressure of study. Also the people here is very insensitive. Maybe we can find some new projects and also to impress us. However if we meet a very serious weather like the thunderstorm it’s very dangerous and we cannot enjoy the summer program so maybe this trip process will just be very tough. Overall we’re into options. I still prefer to go to a seaside holiday during water sports because I really like doing sports and I want to enjoy the trip to seaside and also to picking up a new sport.

Today, my family and I are discussing what to do on the next holiday. There are two intriguing options. The first one is a sightseeing holiday in local cities. The second one is a trip to the beach. On the one hand, for a sightseeing holiday in the city, we think it is a very good choice to learn about a new city. We can also take a city walk along the footpath and maybe pick up a new hobby that both my family and I like to do. However, sometimes the local city can be really crowded on holidays, especially in very famous places like Westlake in Hangzhou. You cannot feel the local culture and enjoy the environment in the cities. On the other hand, for a trip to the beach, we think that is an incredible option because I really love the beach. The blue skies and the blue water make me feel delightful and help relieve the pressure of studying. Also, the people there are very friendly. Maybe we can find some new activities that will impress us. However, if we encounter severe weather like a thunderstorm, it can be very dangerous, and we cannot enjoy the summer activities, so that trip could be tough. Overall, we are considering both options. I still prefer a seaside holiday with water sports because I really like doing sports, and I want to enjoy the trip to the seaside and also pick up a new sport.
