You know the world of English is a fun and exciting place to be, I'm so glad you could join me for another lesson.
Hi everybody, this is Misterduncan, how are you today? Are you OK? I hope so! Are you happy? I hope so! Here I am on my summer holiday, taking in the sights and sounds of Turkey. In today's lesson we will take a look at words and sentences connected with and relating to going on holiday. Welcome to Turkey!
Turkey is a country that covers a large area of land known as The Anatolian Peninsular. It sits precariously on the Europe-Asia border and not too far away from the Middle East, which frequently causes confusion over where the country actually is. The place I'm staying at is on a small island off the south west coast called Sovalye (Şövalye).
Ancient history records Constantinople as the centre of the Roman Empire, and of course Turkey is the birthplace of 'The Ottoman Empire', whose formation occurred towards the end of the 13th century and continued to be there right up until the early 1900's. The recent history of Turkey has been a traumatic one, with a military coup, the division of land between Greece, and civil war creating many problems, especially during the 1970's and early 1980's. Tragedy hit this nation in 1999, when a tremendous earthquake struck, with devastating consequences.
They say that to truly get away from it all, you must first place yourself as far away from all the familiar features of your everyday life. You should endeavour to escape the day-in, day-out routine and shake off the shackles of the 'rat-race' existence. Taking a holiday gives your mind a chance to ease its daily burden and your body a well deserved opportunity to fully relax itself. Oh yes, we all need a holiday, a break, a getaway, a vacation, a change of scenery, we all need to get away from it all, from time to time.
I didn't realise it could get so hot here in Turkey. It must be at least 39 Degrees at the moment.
In English, the place you travel to is your destination. You set off from your home and travel to another place. You make (or take) a journey. You go on a trip. You take a vacation. You go on holiday. The average holiday lasts for about two weeks. This is more common if the journey taken to get there is a long one. The slowest form of long distance travel is by sea.
The fastest form of transport is of course the aeroplane. These days it is common for those going on holiday to fly, even if they are travelling within their own country. City-hopping by plane is normal across both Europe and the United States. A short flight is referred to as 'short haul'. While a long flight is often referred to as 'long haul'. A plane journey can take anything from a couple of hours with no stops, to a couple of days with many stops. Some people find flying less enjoyable these days. The long delays at airports and the many security checks that passengers now face, have combined to make travelling by plane much less of an adventure than it used to be.
For most people, summer is the time for taking a holiday. Some will stay it their own country and take a domestic holiday. While others will take a long trip to another country. They will go abroad. They will travel overseas. A person may travel just a few miles to a nearby county, or they might decide to travel to a completely different part of the world, thousands of miles away!
There are many different types of holidays which can be taken. The choice is yours.
