4. a)I think so, but I don,t like travel agent,s, because I prefer to organize my own travel.
b)I prefer on line, because it,s more easy. Ypu can to do at home.
DESCRIPTION: This picture is a red plant, I only see leaves without flowers. The leaves have seven velvety petals.
1.I like several countryes, but maybe Granada is a funny city, I went to Granada last year and I've had a good time with my friends. Granada is a student city therefore there a lot of young people. Also is beatiful city, La Alhambra is wonderful and this city is very eclectic.
2. In this place I didn't ate a lot of because I went with few money. We usually eat in a pubs wich served to little dish of food that called ''tapas'' are very cheaps (2€ beer + tortilla, jamon serrano,carne etc). Tapas are beatiful.
3.I going to festivals, partyes and disco, I tryed to had fun wiht my friends. Also I drink a lot in holydays and visit some places of city.
4.I never need a travel agents, i do'n know but I think that organize my own travel is better than travel agents.
I prefer online is more easy than on travel agengy, moreover online used to more cheap than on agency.
5. In this picture can see a various red plants,this plants looks like to fern.
1.I went to Segovia it did several years. I went with the institute to enter in a tournament of five-a-side football as representatives of Canarias. Before of travelling we had what to have some rounds, first in Gran Canaria and then in Tenerife.
2.I didn´t eat nothing typical of Segovia, the team had to buy their food in the supermarkets. In the hotels only ate the breakfast.
3. I played five-a-side football with my team. Finally we came third of tournament.
4.In my opinion it depends travel agents what you visit because some take advantages and others not. For it is better to go travel agents what advise you your friends or familys. I prefer travel agents because I don´t trust me of buying on line.
DESCRIPTION: In this picture i see a plant with several red leaves. This picture means the spring, where it begins to go out the flowers.
i will like travel to rome,paris,london and U.S.A,because i think they are very interesting,i like all type of sites,the sea,the desert,etc,but never i saw this sites.

1,3). The best place where I have been on holidays was in Asturias because there I took lessons about kayak, ride in horse, archery and so many others similar things.
2). I remember so much the smell of the tipical Asturian Fabada. But there were a problem; because of the long travel, I suffered a ache belly and I was illing. So I couldn´t taste the Asturian Fabada.
4). I prefer doing my travel because if you go on holidays whith an agency yo must: get up early, normally, you stay in remotes hotels and so one.
Too, I prefer buy my travel tickets in an agency or in Internet because you can find a good offer.
PICTURE: The picture reminds me to my grandmother because she loves the plants and she has a big garden where there are many red plants similar to the picture.

1. The best place that I've been is Barcelona, because I visited one of the best football stadium in the world. Camp Nou!.
2. I could not remember what food did I eat there... anyway I don't usually care so much about the food.
3. I like to do diferent things. Maybe in one hand i prefer to go to the beach and i enjoy the "water activities" or in the other hand i would prefer to go to the mountains and do "Sky and Snowboarding"... the pleasure is in the variety hehe
4. Yes, they are. I think they are usefull because they can help you with the problems that u can have.
I like to book tickets online because it is more comfy. And more secure.. because u must only show your DNI at the airport!
This picture reminds me the spring, that makes everything to look more beautiful.
1-The best place where I have been on holidays was in London, i must say that is my favourite country, is other "world", other culture, i learned so much in my form of to see the world around me, i think that see other places and other form of living de life is the best for our personality.
2- jajajaja the food customs are the worst, is very unhealthy, they cook many fats, and all the people eat fast food. And, the worst for me, they not use olive oil, all have butter. :S :S :S :S :S
3- In the morning I go to learn english, and later visited some places of city with my friends, and in the night all the night we drunk, but we are very careful because in england if you drink in the street, the police write your dates and if he see you again with alcohol in the street, you must pay many money.
4- Depend of the travel type, i prefer use travel agent's or not, if i want see the city and the culture, i prefer go for my account, and if i want go to a hotel or apartament, and only eat, sleep and go to the clubs at night, is more cheap with travel agent. The famous all inclusive.
And in the photo i can see that the teacher prefer and like the alive colors, but is logic, the alive colors transmit happiness, and the happiness is the best form of work and learn english.
Hi teacher, hi all readers¡¡
- where i took my best holidays was in Barcelona,Andorra and south Francia,when i was in the whait-week"la semana blanca" with my class.
I went to do snowboard, i never have had a feeling as do snowboard, is as float in the air and cut the snow with the table.
Also i knew so much person and something girls that was of my interest, about the culture i hadn´t so time to know so much but cerdeña was rustic and it had very old houses.
-when i was in this holidays, really i don´t remember what i ate but remember that in the zone had a lot of candy shop´s and where i bought a sweet really delicious.
-the activitys that i did was very much, i did snowboard, climbing, cycling, ice-skating, ahh¡¡ and i went to the termas in andorra, omg(oh my god) was the bomb.
About the first question,this is, about the helpful of the travels agency, I think that, if it is not helpful, it haven´t been created.the travel agency give you information after if you are interesting about something you can buy or not.But always i advice check other agencys.
-i never have bought my tickets online, but i have heard that are more cheaps, and probably sometime do it. I think that is better buy your tickets at the travel agency because it is more sure, no all person know be in control of the computer and could have insafety about it.
the picture.
I think that the picture is when is finishing the autumn and starting the winter.
the photo, if you are so much time sawing could think something but to me don´t represent nothing, simply flowers although beautiful flowers for their colors, not for their forms.
I wait the next photo be more interesting for me and i can tell you more about it.
see you, and don´t forget the composicion for be best persons jaj. BYE...
1)For my the best place in the one than I have been in holidays is England , here I visit cities like York, Liverpool and London . But where live during those three weeks were in Manchester and I enchant myself.
2)The food I don´t like much . In Manchester the meals were done by people of outside like Chinese food , Arabe , India , Italian , etc. For English Fridays is typical to eat "chips and fish" although in truth over there isn´t typical food , single fast food and much tea and coffee.
3)The activities that I realize were to visit places , to practice sport and to leave celebration by the nights with my friends .
4)[A].I believe that this depends travel agents what you visit.
[B]I prefer to buy it on line.
[c]It employs less and you save time.
[D]When you go to the travel agency you must yourself move until the travel agency and on line you see it employs less and you save time.
1.I,fortunately,have travelled to a lot of places thanks for my team althoug i can`t see much, because i only go for play one or some matchs....
My best place was when i travelled to cyprus, I have to call in at greece one day and i can see athens. this travel isn`t holiday because i have to play but is my best place that i had been travel.

3.activities that i do in my holidays specially is play beach voleyball in anfi`s beach in gran canaria. There is voleyball court and i go with my friends to play there, is good because at the same moment you practise sport and get a tan. When i go with my friends is funny because we organize a small tournaments and that the team who lost, pay us one beer in the night jeje
QUESTIONS:
A.in one hand, travel agents are helpful depends of that you want nowadays, if you travel to one place that you dont know nothing, like the oficial language, transports, and you dont wanna are finding the hotel alone, travel agents are very helpful. In the other hand if you wanna discover other places alone outhin travel agents, asking people taking transports or a car, travel agents arent helpful.
B.i`m not acording with buy tickets in an agency, i tink that agencys are good for take information of travels but not for buy tickets,in internet nowadays is more easy and more cheap!! i give for mu class partners this web tubiyete.com this page sell tickets for plane specially that have discount for canary people.

One of my best holidays was in barcelona when I was little,I went with my family and cousins and it was really fun.We didnt do anything special we just spent our holidays in the pool,but I remember it like a very fun holiday because all my cousins were there.nowadays they´re all growing up and it is really hard to meet all together again.
The last summer holidays I've been with my friends and I've worked a few days a week.We usually get an appartment all together where we go out at night,and spend our days at the beach.We always try not to eat and drink a lot of rubbish but it seems imposible in a place where it is so sunny.we can be really lazy:P
1. I like too much travel around but one of the places where i have been and it´s very different of other places it´s Japan , it´s a fantastic country and Japanese people are singular too.
2.When i travel i don´t get accustumed to eat food with intense taste and for this reason i am reluctant to eat unknown meals
3. It´s depends , if i go to a place with beach i like go there and stay hours and hours , to sunbathe, to run ,to swin...if i travel to an historical city i go to the museums, the most important buildings,etc.
4. I prefer the travel agents, i always go at the same one and in this way they look for the best prieces and schedules for me
This plant it´s very strange,and at the same time it´s soo beautiful ,the shapes of the
leads are irregular and the texture it´s smooth .Also the colour it´s peculiar, it´s not red but neither pink.

4- I like very much travel agents, cause when i was in England, One travel agent organized my activities. The price was low and I spend a good experience.
I prefer to book my holidays through the internet because its a lot cheaper .I dont think u need anyone to organise your own holiday,you can do it yourself, from your house,at any time.
the picture reminds me of the spring time,and allergy..flowers usually makes me sneeze
1.The best place where I has been is Fuerteventura because I liked very much to go on holidays to the seaside, and this island has a most beautiful beaches in the world.
2. I liked frite goat cheese but I didn´t like so much the Fuerteventura´s gastronomy.
3. I camped in the beach for five days and the rest of days I lived in Pajara. I visited a lot of tipical places and the most beautiful is "Isla de Lobos".
4. a. I think that travel agent helpful but the tickets are more expensive.
b. I usually prefer buy the tickets on line because is easy, fast and cheap.
DESCRIPCION:
In this picture I can see a leaf of some plant but the colour is indefinite (purple, pink, red...)
1- I WENT TO FRANCE TWO YEARS AGO, IN SEPTEMBER. I TRAVELLED WITH MY COMPANIONS BECAUSE THIS TRIP WAS PART OF A SCHOOL PROYECT. I STAYED THERE TEN DAYS. THIS JOURNEY WAS VERY INTERESTING AND WANDERFUL. THESE WAS THE BEST HOLIDAY THAT I HAVE HAD.
2-IN THIS PLACE I ATE NOT MUCH BECAUSE I HAVE A DIFFERENT TASTE FOR THE FOOD AND THE FOOD OF FRANCE I DON´T LIKE.
3- WHEN I GO ON HOLIDAYS I USUALLY GO TO VISIT THE MOST FAMOUS MUSEUMS ANDE CATHEDRALS AND THE TRADITIONAL PLACE.
4- I PREFER TO BOOK TICKETS AT THE TRAVEL AGENCY BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT IS MORE SAFE BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS YOU HAVESOMEONE TO GO TO CLAIM.
I THINK THAT THIS PICTURE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE WHEN I SEE IT INSPIRES ME CLAMNESS AND MAKES ME REMID THE NATURE.
1. The best place i've ever visited is Granada, this city is amazing and very enjoyable, 'cause in this city the most of the people are sutudent and u can spend very nice time.
2. If u go to Granada u have to prove the tipical tapa that they give free to u to buy a beer.
3. When i'm on holidays i like to do sports journeys, such as surfaris or go snowboarding.
4. I think travel agents woul help to someone that don't know how to use internet, but i prefer to take my tickes on-line 'cause i think is cheaper and faster.
Description:
This photo remind me autum season, 'cause in this season the plants have this mix of coulors.
I love this "surfari" expression, very colloquial, I'm sure.
My favourite place where i have been on holiday is "Cofete" because it's a very peaceful place and I can relax.
My favourite things to eat in "Cofete" are crab,octopus and fish
I really like fishing and sleeping in "Cofete"
I prefer to buy my tickets online rather than at a travel agency because it's quicker and cheaper
In the picture is a red plant with large red leaves.
1. I liked very much a travel To La Gomera that I did it on Easter.
2. The food of la Gomera is like in Canarias...Papas con mojo... potaje de berros... Perfect for to take energy for to walk so much!
3. When i'm on holidays i like to stay with the nature of this place, and with the people.
4. I think travel agents are a tajemaneje for to lie us...If you take a ticket on line it's more cheaper and easy! tHE new tecnologies sometimes has the reason!
1. The best place where I have been on holidays was in Andorra 5 years ago. It was first one of my trips. I was in my cousin house. It was my first year in the snow and I learned to do snow. Was a luxury trip!
2. The truth is that the food I don't remember very much, because we always ate macaroni or rice (students' cheap diet) jajajajajajaja
3.It was my daily activities to do snow from the morning until the evening, then I was sleeping awhile. In the night we were going out to party or were throwing ourselves by the tracks in bobsled.
4.Nowadays I don't agree with travel agent's 'cause with Internet you can organize your own trip to your way without problems, looking for the best prices.
I prefer looking for my tickets on line 'cause is more comfortable and more economic. I can do it from my house in the moment that I want.
Description:
It is a red flower of autumn. This flower reminds me my infancy in which I was playing with my cousins in his country house ... always I was surprised by the showy colors of the flowers....
Beautiful happiness when you are a child....
1. The best place I have ever been on holiday is Marocco. The local people are friendly and open. I went there with my brother, we enjoyed experiencing a culture that completely differs from our own.
2. The food in Marocco was delicious. We ate the local food daily. We tried a different restaraunt everyday. The best meal we had was when a local family invited us to there home to eat couscous.
3. During the holiday I usually like to go away for 1 or 2 weeks with my family. For the rest of the time I work to earn money for the forthcoming year.
4. I prefer not to use travel agents because I enjoy the element of adventure when I go away and do not want my trip to be too organised. I also like to make sure that my holiday is as cheap as possible therefore by not using a travel agent I save myself money.
