Unit 4: B1 Reading Simple Travel Stories

Exploring Paris

Last summer, I visited Paris, the capital city of France. I flew from London to Paris on a short flight. The first thing I saw was the Eiffel Tower, standing tall and magnificent. I took a lot of pictures and even went to the top to enjoy the beautiful view of the city. After that, I walked along the Seine River and visited the Louvre Museum. Seeing the Mona Lisa in person was a dream come true! In the evening, I enjoyed a delicious dinner at a cozy café and watched the city lights come alive.

 

Adventure in Tokyo

Two years ago, I had an exciting trip to Tokyo, Japan. I traveled by bullet train from Osaka to Tokyo, which was incredibly fast and comfortable. Tokyo is a city that never sleeps, full of neon lights and bustling streets. I visited the famous Shibuya Crossing, where thousands of people cross the street at the same time. I also explored ancient temples in Asakusa and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The highlight of my trip was visiting Tokyo Disneyland, where I felt like a kid again, enjoying all the rides and attractions.

 

Relaxing in Bali

Last winter, I went to Bali, Indonesia, for a relaxing vacation. I flew directly from Sydney to Bali, which took about six hours. Bali is known for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture. I stayed in a beautiful beach resort and spent my days sunbathing and swimming in the clear blue waters. One day, I took a scooter ride to explore the island and visited the Uluwatu Temple, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The traditional Balinese dance performance at sunset was mesmerizing. I also enjoyed snorkeling and saw colorful fish and coral reefs.
