I’m not going on holiday this year. My mortgage has just gone up and I can’t afford a holiday abroad. I’m going to go to Wales though for a friend’s wedding.’
Mary: ‘I’ve heard a lot about ‘staycations’ but I’m going on holiday like I do every year. I always go to Spain for a week as normal. You just can’t trust the British weather! ’
Nicole:’ I’m not going on holiday this summer, but not because of the economic crisis. I want to help the environment. It’s crazy that everyone is flying around the world when there are beautiful places to visit here in our own country.
Steve: ‘Staycations?! What a lot of rubbish in this trend! People are still going on holidays. It’s cheaper to get a flight and leave Britain than to stay here for your holidays. I’m going to get a cheap flight somewhere and have a real break.’
Michael: ‘I’m staying at home this year. I want to spend my holiday getting organised, painting, decorating etc. I think we should learn to enjoy what we have close to home. If everyone travelled less the world would be a lot simpler.’
Once open a time, there was a girl named Sita, who lived in the town of Chamba. She was a very beautiful and a shy girl, just like a fairy tale princess. She loved to dress up beautifully and comb her hair. She had many friends and she loved animals like dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, green parrots, etc. She was a good student at school as well.
One day, it was a party night at school and she wanted to look very beautiful. So, she made a very beautiful white dress for herself for the special day, which had stars studded all over and she looked like a princes in that dress. She was very excited for the school party. As she was ironing her dress, the dress got burnt and finding the dress burnt, Sita started weeping and was very upset. Her joy and excitement for the party was destroyed. She thought that she could not attend the party then.
Suddenly, somebody knocked the door of her room and it was her mother. Her mother the condition of the dress and told Sita not to worry, as she had already bought a similar white dress form the market. Sita became happy and joyous again and dressed up in the white dress and happily went to the party.
