The man in the photo is sitting cross-legged next to a cozy-looking tent with yellow and purple fabric. He appears to be enjoying the peaceful scenery outside, with a serene body of water visible through the open flap of the tent. The shore where the tent is pitched is rocky, with large stones and pebbles scattered around. The trees on the side of the water are tall and lush, suggesting a forested area with lots of greenery. The weather seems calm, with no visible wind or waves in the water. The photo captures a moment of tranquility and relaxation in nature, with the man enjoying some time alone or perhaps with a companion in the great outdoors.
1. VOCABULARY Which of these activities are likely to be on offer at or near this location? Where could you do the others?
- Fishing: Given the presence of the body of water, it's possible that fishing is available as an activity in the nearby area.
- Hiking: The forested area around the lake seems like a great place for hiking, with lots of nature trails and scenic viewpoints to explore.
- Kayaking: The calm body of water would be a perfect spot for kayaking or other similar water sports.
- Mountain biking: The rocky terrain around the lake could offer some challenging mountain biking trails.
- Swimming: Although not explicitly mentioned, it's possible to swim in the body of water, assuming that the conditions are safe.
Horse riding and skiing are less likely to be available in this particular location, as there is no mention of snow or mountains, and the terrain may not be suitable for horse riding. Scuba diving is also unlikely, as the body of water appears to be a lake rather than the sea. Sightseeing and shopping may be possible in nearby towns or cities, but they are not directly related to the location described in the photo.
2. Would you prefer to be on holiday here or in an expensive hotel in a city? Give reasons.
I'd prefer to be on holiday there. Because this setting offers a peaceful and natural environment, with opportunities for hiking, fishing, kayaking, and mountain biking. The scenery is also beautiful, with a body of water, trees, and rocky terrain.
