Culture and travel

In these last lessons of your intermediate English course you’ll learn all about the past perfect tense, verb patterns, relative clauses and the passive voice. The vocabulary topics are centred on culture, geography and holidays.

Your holiday - Lesson 16

This English vocabulary unit is focused on holidays! Talk about your last vacation and tell friends what kind of holiday it was (a “cruise”, a “package holiday”, a “city break” or maybe an “adventure holiday”), where you were and what you most liked doing while you were there. We’ll also look at words and phrases to talk about bad experiences (“travel insurance”, “cancelled flight”, “delayed flight”, “overcrowded” and “complaint”).
