EVERY SEASON IS GOOD FOR TRAVELLING

Part I

My name is Sarah. I’m a spring person and I like spring best.

I live in Australia and spring can be very different there. It is so good for travelling because you can be outdoors in any spring month. Early in September my family goes to the mountains to ski. Later in spring, in November, we go to the beach to sunbathe and swim and surf.

But most of all I like to travel to the tropical rainforests. In spring it is the Land of Oz: tall green trees, brightly coloured birds and butterflies near water. Rain turns this place into a carpet of flowers. I always take my camera with me and take so many pictures. You can see one of them.

Part II

Winter is the best time for travelling in Canada. Snow and frost make my country magic. No wonder, tourists come to Canada in this season.

My name is Jeremy. The place I live in is especially amazing. There is Jasper National Park and the Columbia Ice Field not far from my city. Two weeks ago my family and I went to Jasper National Park. We had a lot of fun skiing, skating and sledging.

Last weekend we had a snowmobile tour to Athabasca Glacier. Have you ever travelled by a snowmobile? It’s a very exciting tour! When we reached the top of the Glacier, I was thrilled. I’ve never seen such beauty before! A real winter fairy tale! Look at the photo and see for yourself.

Part III

I’m Aban. My home is Africa.

I live in Kenya and it is very hot there all the year round. So you may travel in any season.

Many travellers come to my country to sunbathe on the beach, lie on the white snow and swim in the warm blue water of the Indian Ocean. Some of them enjoy this kind of holiday and spend most of the time there.

But this is Africa and Africa means safaris. There are many national parks in Kenya, where you can see lions, elephants, giraffes and other animals. Travellers take a lot of pictures and make interesting films about their safari!

Last week my class went on safari to the Amboseli National Park. It was the most memorable trip for me! I could admire pink flamingoes. Our teacher said that they were very rare and we could see them only in that park. Besides, from the park we could see Mount Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa. Enough to take your breath away, isn’t it?
