A2 English Listening Practice - Travel

hey everybody welcome to this a2 English

listening practice video you can use

this video to train your listening and

comprehension as I speak you ready

so today I'm going to talk about travel

traveling is one of the funnest

activities

I've always loved traveling when I was

young my family and I traveled to Hawaii

many times in case you don't know much

about Hawaii it's an island in the

middle of the Pacific Ocean and it's

also one of the 50 states of the US I've

been there about six or seven times I

don't remember how many exactly it's

definitely one of my favorite places in

the world Hawaii has plenty of really

beautiful beaches and the lifestyle

there is slow and calm but even though

Hawaii is one of my favourite places to

travel to in general I prefer the

countryside the forests or the mountains

more than the beach so I love taking

camping trips and road trips I've taken

a few different road trips through the

US before and I just recently took a

road trip through the tuscany region of

italy it was one of the most incredible

experiences I've ever had if you ever

get the chance to go to Italy I highly

recommend you to rent a car and drive

through Tuscany trust me you won't be

disappointed speaking of Europe I also

took a backpacking trip through Portugal

in Spain a few years ago it was my first

time backpacking and it wasn't easy we

spent a lot of time walking and taking

buses and trains and the whole time we

had these big backpacks on her backs we

stayed in some pretty low quality

hostels and thus we had some bad

experiences the worst thing that

happened to me was that I was bitten by

bedbugs when I was in Madrid I don't

know if you've ever been bitten by

bedbugs before but it's not a fun

experience and for me it was worse

because I have really sensitive skin so

I didn't just have little red spots on

my skin I had big swole

sores all over my arms so if you plan on

staying in hostels when you travel you

should definitely read the online

reviews first sometimes it's better to

pay a little more money to stay in a

better place some people only like

staying in hotels and other people

really like air B&B ease and lately I've

been staying at air B&B ease no matter

where I travel it's definitely better

than staying in hostels in my opinion

another aspect of travel that's really

important is the flight this is probably

the worst part about traveling actually

it is the worst part definitely I've

been pretty lucky because I haven't had

any really bad flights but I have had

experiences with long delays and

canceled flights which can really ruin

your trip there were two times when I

had to spend the night at the airport

which was terrible I hope you guys don't

ever have that experience so overall

there are good and bad things about

traveling but I think we can all agree

that it's nice to travel once in a while

okay that's all for today leave a

comment and tell me your favorite place

that you've traveled to I'll see you
