The key answer of exercise 1

The key to exercise solutions in chapter 3 - My kind of holiday for the textbook Outcomes Intermediate - Student's Book with authors Hugh Dellar and Andrew Walkley from National Geographic Learning

Question

Work in pairs. Look at the photos and the descriptions of people and holidays. What do you know about the places in the photos? Which people do you think go with which holiday? Explain your decisions.

Answer

This depends on the students’ views. However, here are some thoughts:

  • Disneyland in Florida tends to attracts families, so perhaps Wendy and her kids, or Waleed, especially if his sisters are younger than him, may choose that destination. 
  • Oman is geographically and culturally ‘closer’ for Waleed, as is Vietnam for Lian, and London for Wendy or Alain. Vietnam is a popular 'backpacker' destination, so that might suit a young person travelling alone, like Alain. Vietnam also has historical links to France, and French is spoken there.
