Blog Homework 2: If you could go anywhere in the world...


Hi everyone,

I hope you found today’s class useful. Well, first, I’d like to thank you for writing your “self-introductions”. I really enjoyed reading them, and I think it was a good chance to get to know each other a bit better.

Okay, let’s move on to this week’s blog writing activity. This week for homework, our theme is travel, and the question is “If you could go ANYWHERE in the world, where would you like to go?” So, if money and time were no problem, where would you like to travel to, and why? This can be somewhere domestic – in Japan – or somewhere international. Be specific: tell us exactly what you’d like to do there.

Personally, I’ve been to a few places around the world: Greece, South Korea, France, America, England, Singapore, and, of course, Japan and Australia. And I’d love to visit many other places. But, the one place I’d really like to go to is France, again. I LOVED France! I went to France in 2007, but it was only for 4 days!! I was in Paris for half a day, and the rest of the time I was in a small country town called “Compienge” which is about 2 hours north of Paris. I was there for work, so unfortunately I couldn’t do much sightseeing. So, if I had the chance, I’d love to go back to France and see more of the sights. In particular, I really want to experience the atmosphere. I think that Paris is a very stylish city. The people there are very casual and laidback, but also very passionate and stylish at the same time. I’d love to spend time just walking around the city, sipping coffee at the cafes and eating delicious food at the restaurants. Of course I’d love to see all of the famous sights like the Eiffel Tower, and of course check out the museums and art galleries. But, I’d also really like to go to the countryside and experience that side of France, too. So, if I had enough money and time, I’d really love to go to France.

Okay, that’s enough from me. Please write about 150 words telling us all about your dream holiday destination. And don’t forget to give a small comment to the person who wrote before you. Please write your post by MIDNIGHT NEXT TUESDAY (26 May). I’m looking forward to reading your posts!!

Best Wishes,
Kris
