City flat
Beautiful two-bedroom city flat five minutes' walk from the cathedral. Fully equipped kitchen, living room with a large sofa and chairs, big TV and balcony. The balcony has space for four people to sit and gets the sun in the mornings, and the flat is light and warm. It has Wi-Fi and fast internet. The upstairs bedroom sleeps four people, with two double beds; the downstairs bedroom sleeps two in single beds. The flat is perfect for families and is near shops, bars and restaurants.
Farmhouse
Four-bedroom farmhouse in the countryside. All of the four double bedrooms are en suite with luxury shower and bath. Farm kitchen with barbecue, tables and chairs outside. Great for groups of friends. The supermarket is half an hour by car and you can take a train from the village into the city. Escape from normal life for a few days as we have … NO INTERNET and you can only use mobile phones at the bottom of the garden!
Which place would you choose for a holiday?
No matter where I choose for a holiday, it will be fun if I am with my bf.
We have loved for 2 years and have travelled many places, but I love 2 places following: Da Lat city - a beautiful city with cool weather and many flowers, Thuy Chau ecotourism park where we camped, had lunch and spring bath. The next holiday in August, we are going to visit Da Nang city. This is the first time I fly to go there. I'm so excited about it!
I would choose a farm house for a holiday.
It depends. İf I want to escape cıty I choose farmhouse. İf I want to visit another country side I choose city flat. I love every holiday doesn't matter place .All holiday helps me spend my negative energy and gives me unexpected memories.
It depends. Sometimes I like countryside and sometimes I really like to visit new cities.
For the holiday I choose a farmhouse because I love to stay in the calm to be me focus.
I’d choose the flat because it’s in the city and there’re a lot of convenient things more than countryside. And can go anyplace easier than countryside
I would like to choose the countryside to visit and enjoy the nature serving delicious local foods.
I'm very happy when go to countryside. Because in here very quiet, and i have a place to relax and see some mountain and trees, can listen water flow... It very interesting.
On holidays, I would prefer to go to a farm house where i can breath a fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature with my wife.
I'd like to go to the capital to visit different places there.
maybe i will choose the flat in the city for my holiday because i like noisy and the most important thing is i can't live if have no internet.
I choose farmhouse because I'm very bored to using smartphone. I try to get rid of this. I like place where no internet have.
Hello Natasa Tanasa,
We usually say 'sit in a chair' when the chair is an armchair; it's as if it were a semi-enclosed space. In most other cases, people say 'on a chair'.
You might hear people say 'in' sometimes, but I teach my students the rule that I described above.
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Kirk
