Answer:
Good morning, my name is … and I’m a student of
the 9th form. I would like to tell you about the advantages and disadvantages
of spending your holidays at the seaside. Nowadays travelling is the most
popular kind of spending free time. A lot of people prefer to go to the seaside
for their holidays. There are a number of reasons for such a decision.
First of all you have a brilliant opportunity to
change your daily routine. You can spend the whole day on the beach, sunbathe,
swim and paddle, pick up seashells and pebbles, play beach volleyball or rent a
boat or a water scooter. You can also go to the amusement arcades and play
different games. Sometimes you can ride a horse or a donkey at the beach.
Numerous funfairs and rides like the big dipper or big wheel are situated right
on the front for the holiday-makers’ convenience . Very often amusement
parks with different attractions, such as roller-coasters, see-saws and
merry-go-rounds or water theme parks are situated at the seaside. Besides,
there are a lot of cozy cafes and bars at the beach, where you can have a snack
or buy some refreshments Moreover, at night the life at the seaside
becomes even more active and exciting. You can go to different discos and clubs
or buy a ticket to a concert hall, a cinema or a theater.
In a word, you will never be bored at the seaside.
The weak point is the seaside prices. Everything is very expensive at high
season, and you have to think well while planning your day.
Another drawback is that the seaside resorts are
awfully overcrowded in summer. It seems that you have to spend hours in queues
before you can get either a glass of juice or your turn to a merry-go-round. There
also can be problems with buying tickets, if you go by plane ortrain. So you’d
better book a return ticket, when you go to the seaside. If you go there by
car, you can have problems with finding a parking place. You should be careful
as for your health. Don’t lie in the sun from 10a.m. to 4p.m. Use special creams for tan before going to the beach
and after it. Sea waves can be very dangerous, so don’t swim far away and don’t
stay long in the water not to catch a cold. You should also be careful as for
the food you eat. Stomach infections are quite common for people on holidays.
Don’t buy any food if it smells or looks strange. Keep the food in a fridge.
Seaside resorts are paradise for different kinds of
swindlers, twisters, thieves and pickpockets. keep your money in a safe place
and don’t speak to a suspicious strangers.
