“FCE RESULT” – UNIT 6 Ex 1 a Well-Known British Tour MATERIALI VERSIONE TEACHER’S INELLA CARTELLA “FCE RESULT” – UNIT 6 Ex 1 A well-known British tour operator decided to find out what teenagers really want on holiday. Six teenagers were invited to make their recommendations in exchange for a free family holiday. Read the 'wish list' they produced. Do you agree/disagree? What would you change? The wish list freedom to choose whether to participate or not in activities discounts to bring friends shopping trips, non-alcoholic discos in real nightclubs water skiing, bungee jumping Blind Date and karaoke competitions Reading: multiple matching Ex 2 What type of holiday do you think each text describes? Choose from this list. beach holiday || walking and trekking holiday || cultural holiday activity holiday || educational holiday || sightseeing holiday Ex 3 You are going to read a magazine article about six different holidays. Answer the questions by choosing from the holidays A-F. The sections may be chosen more than once. When more than one answer is required, these may be given in any order. There is an example at the beginning (0). On which of the holidays will you 0 B have to get up early in the morning? be able to choose how much to spend on meals? 1 find a fairly constant climate? 2 find a good environment for creative work? 3 get the chance to understand another culture better? 4 5 have contact with wildlife? 6 7 have a chance to take part in scientific research? 8 have a number of planned activities to choose from? 9 10 be offered rapid training in an activity? 11 find it easy to get to know other holidaymakers? 12 13 learn a skill that will be useful back home? 14 A: DIVE INTO THE RED SEA This holiday is perfect if you and your friends are after a seriously undemanding break with sun, pools and the option of a little sporty diversion if you want it. This is a relaxing beach resort which enjoys year-round good weather, some of the best diving in the world and just enough nightlife to keep you amused. If you take the optional course, it only takes four days to pick up the basics of scuba diving. It's not for everybody though, so try it out in your local pool back home before you commit yourself. Even if you hate the scuba diving, you can always take yourself off for a swim with the local dolphin population, or go sunbathing on the beach. B: BE AN ECOTOURIST If you have guilty feelings about what we're doing to the environment, you can lose them on this holiday. The work you do is as good for the world as it is for you. You can do your bit for the planet whilst enjoying some of the most beautiful sights of the natural world. Starting at daybreak, you'll be working from boats, albeit in the sunshine, as you study the behaviour of some amazing sea mammals. You'll be taking photos to identify individual animals, collecting skin samples for analysis and monitoring the animals' movements. You don't have to be too serious to enjoy this sort of working holiday; but you do have to be fairly fit! C: WALKING OFF THE CALORIES This is an ideal compromise for the food lover with a guilt complex. You can enjoy some of the best of French cuisine in a series of small family-run hotels, the ten-mile walk from one to another cancelling out the calories. At least that's the theory! The walks are divided into easy, average and difficult and as long as you select wisely, it shouldn't be too taxing. What's more, there's plenty of time to gossip non-stop with your companions both along the way and over dinner. Could there be a better way to make new friends? D: AN INSPIRED CHOICE If you feel there's a novel in you somewhere, try a fiction writing course at the Skyros Centre. If you're ever going to write, it will happen here. Skyros is a beautiful, tranquil setting in which to have a go at improving yourself and the courses are not confined to writing. The centre offers dozens of other self-improvement courses, including dance, music and theatre. If it all sounds a bit too arty, then you should leave your preconceptions behind you because these breaks are really what you make of them. E: RECIPE FOR SUCCESS ‘This holiday was sensational’, reported one person who'd signed up for two weeks in the ancient farmhouse in Italy. ‘You meet people who all have something in common.’ And that something is a love of good food and drink. Although there are opportunities to be on your own if you prefer, the long cooking sessions provide an ideal environment for getting to know your fellow guests whilst you gain an insight into the local way of life. The highlight of the course, naturally, is being able to eat the mouthwatering food you've prepared, and the knowledge that you'll be able to try your newfound expertise out on all your friends on your return. F: CITY BREAK People go to Bilbao mostly for the city's artistic highlights and you can manage to pack quite a lot into even a short stay. There are, of course, fantastic shops and restaurants in the centre, but if you're prepared to stray just a short way off the beaten track, you'll find places that are much cheaper where the local people go to shop and eat. And those local people are exceptionally friendly, especially the cafe owners who are keen to tell you all the background to the sights and the local customs. Everyone who goes promises themselves that they'll soon be going back, and taking their friends along too. Ex 4 Vocabulary: adjectives Find these adjectives in the text. What nouns do they describe?

Tell a partner about the best holiday you have ever had. Use some of the adjectives in Exercise 4 to describe it. THE STAYCATION 2013 was the year of the 'staycation' for many countries across the globe. This new word combines 'stay' and 'vacation', and has two meanings. The first describes a holiday spent in your own house, where you do things at and from your home. Using your home as a base you use local facilities such as the swimming pool or park and perhaps go for day trips. The second meaning refers to having a holiday in your home country, rather than going abroad. It is this second use which is the most common nowadays. In the 12 months before March 2014, the number of visits abroad by British people dropped considerably. There were 13% fewer visits than the previous year, making 2013 the year of the staycation. Last year many people decided against travelling abroad even during the summer months. Britain was not alone. Many other countries in Europe and also in the US experienced a similar trend. People stayed at home for various reasons, but a key factor was the economy: because of the recession, there was less spare money around. Added to this, the British pound was also weak against other currencies, so Brits got less for their money abroad. Some were worried about the bad effect on the environment so they wanted to limit their carbon footprint by avoiding air travel. Finally, many British decided to stay in the UK because the weather forecasters promised a rather wet and cool summer for most people across the country. As the popularity of the staycation has grown, it comes as no surprise that camping has become much more common too. Campsites have seen a huge rise in the number of campers over the last two years. Interestingly, it has also become more fashionable and there is now a wide range of campsites available. It is even possible to choose a 'luxury' campsite, one with proper beds, electricity and a log fire! Campers can arrive at a ready-made tent, with its own toilet facilities and a cooker. They can choose to camp in a Mongolian yurt or a North American Indian tepee and it is even possible to have breakfast brought to the tent! Luxury camping is for those who worry that camping is hard work, wet and dirty, but want to enjoy being in the open air. Some holiday companies are saying that after the bad weather and disappointment of last summer, nobody knows what British people are going to choose for their holidays. Who knows if the staycation is simply a passing fashion or a growing trend… Get the gist of the text, then answer the questions: a) meaning of the word 'staycation' b) reasons why many British people decided to stay at home c) 'luxury' camping Is the 'staycation' a popular type of holiday in Italy? What areas in Italy are particularly popular for holiday makers and why? Is 'luxury' camping an option in Italy? Would you prefer to go abroad or stay at home? Give four (or more) reasons why Describe a really good holiday, giving the following details: when/who with/where/how long/what made it special.

  • On the Beach Group Plc
    Case Study – On The Beach Group Plc On the Beach Group plc is a UK-based travel retailer specialising in short and medium haul ‘Flight + Hotel’ holidays to. Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company was founded by Simon Cooper, who began his career in the travel industry while attending university, when he founded a ski holiday company called On the Piste. He geared the business toward groups of students wanting to go on budget-friendly ski holidays to the French Alps by coach. Meanwhile, in 2004, Cooper started working on a new venture, On the Beach. When TUI Groups Thompson (since renamed TUI UK) purchased On the Piste in 2008, Cooper then directed his full attention to his new platform. In 2007, private equity investor Livingbridge acquired a majority stake in the company for £36 million. In 2008, the company relocated to larger premises at Spectrum House on Towers Business Park in Didsbury, Manchester to house additional employees. In 2011 On the Beach expanded further by acquiring Resort Taxis out of administration for £10,000 to assist with transporting holidaymakers in its most popular destinations of Egypt, Turkey, The Balearics, The Canaries mainland Spain, Greece and The Algarve. The Resort Taxi arm was later re- branded into On the Beach Transfers in 2012. The company also continued to build on its services by founding On the Beach Beds in 2011. The self-contracted hotel organisation allowed On the Beach to contract directly with hotels, attempting to secure better rates for their customers and increase their market advantage.

  • 2019 ICC Report
    THE Beach AND BEYOND 2019 Report FIGHTING Ocean PlasticsIN ALL PLACES WASHINGTON, D.C., USA GHANA ARIZONA, USA VIETNAM A MESSAGE FROM Ocean Conservancy’s CEO If there’s one thing all superheroes have in common, it’s that they wear some kind of costume to signal that they’re ready for the fight ahead — a cape or armor, a mask or special amulets. The same can be said of real life heroes, too. Doctors suit up to go into surgery, firefighters suit up before entering blazing buildings, just to name a few. People suit up to get things done, to change the world, to take on problems of epic scale. Unfortunately, ocean plastic is one such problem. An estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year. That’s the equivalent of one dump truck full of plastic every minute, every hour, every day going into the ocean. Ocean plastic doesn’t just pollute our beaches and coastlines; it also impacts more than 800 species of marine life. And with plastic showing up in places as remote as Arctic ice and flowing into rivers hundreds of miles before reaching the ocean, we can’t just focus on the beach. We have to fight ocean plastic on the beach … and beyond. That’s why, in 2018, we urged people all over the world to “Suit Up to Clean Up” and join Ocean Conservancy’s 33rd annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC). More than 1 million volunteers heard our call and headed to their local beach, river or lake; rolled up their sleeves; and picked up trash — approximately 23 million pounds of it in just one day.

  • The Implications of Climate Change on Coastal Visitor Numbers: a Regional Analysis
    I Journal of Coastal Research 25 4 981-990 West Palm Beach, Florida I July 2009 The Implications of Climate Change on Coastal Visitor Numbers: A Regional Analysis Emma G. Coombest, Andy P. Jonest*, and William J. Sutherland* 'School of Environmental Sciences tDepartment of Zoology University of East Anglia University of Cambridge Norwich Cambridge NR4 7TJ CB2 3EJ United Kingdom United Kingdom [email protected] ABSTRACT COOMBES, E.G.; JONES, A.P., and SUTHERLAND, W.J., 2009. The implications of climate change on coastal visitor d4,III!!!f16 numbers: a regional analysis. Journal of Coastal Research, 25(4), 981-990. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749- 0208. It is anticipated that climate change will have a significant impact on participation in outdoor recreation via changes to weather conditions and modifications to the environments that visitors use. Coastal tourism may be particularly affected by these impacts, as beach visitors are strongly influenced by weather conditions, and sea level rise could have a significant effect on the appearance of coastlines. Despite the importance of coastal tourism to the global economy, the magnitudes of the likely impacts of climate change on beach visits are currently poorly understood. Using a case study of the coastline at East Anglia, U.K., this work models these potential impacts under four future climate change scenarios. Using a Geographical Information System, the output of a model linking visits with beach characteristics and weather conditions is combined with data on likely changes in beach width, temperature, and precipitation to predict future visitor demand. The results suggest that climate change will result in a net increase in visitors on this section of coast, with the positive effects of warmer and drier weather outweighing the negative influences of reductions in beach width due to sea level rise.

  • Ipo-Watch-Special-Edition-Dealing
    IPO Watch Europe Special Edition Dealing with the impact of COVID-19 The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought unparalleled economic stress. This special edition of IPO Watch has been prepared as a means of helping finance and management teams: • Think about COVID-19 circumstances and the impact those have on their business; • Consider their approach to managing liquidity constraints brought about by the COVID-19 disruption; • Gain a greater understanding of the fundraisings that have taken place during lockdown; and • Assess options for future sources of finance. The first quarter of 2020 saw low levels of IPO activity. While legacy Brexit uncertainty was beginning to dissipate, the quarter closed with the introduction of lockdown measures across the UK and much of Europe, driving a spike in market volatility and widespread economic uncertainty. In light of the ongoing effects of COVID-19, this edition of IPO Watch has a reduced focus on our more typical IPO analysis. However, it brings in additional analysis of the UK market’s Further Offer and Placing activity since lockdown, as issuers look to strengthen their balance sheet positions. We also comment on the changing regulatory environment and the market reaction to this as issuers have positioned themselves to access liquidity through the range of finance options available at this time. We anticipate further and deeper issuances to the market that will require increased reflection and assessment of corporate strategy in what will be a new market. We are acutely aware of the stresses that participants are dealing with at this time and are keen to be supportive.
