Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and do the exercises.
Preparation
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!
I think, it depends on situation. If I'm tired, I prefer cozy and calm place like the second option. If I'm in an active and energetic period of my life — I definitely choose first option and go for the city walk with matcha latte for 3 hours minimum for sure.
It's a really hard question, because both of them are really good, but I think it will be a big challenge to stay the whole holiday without internet, but it will be a really good experience to spend quality time with my friends or family, so I think I'll choose farmhouse, and I'll prepared to it well.
Last Friday, Ali got up early. He wanted to spend much time with his family. They decided to go out together and have fun. They went to the zoo. They saw many animals and took pictures. Ali liked the panda as he loved its black and white fur. On Saturday, they went to the beach. Ali and his brother played in the sand and built a big sandcastle. They also swam in the sea and laughed a lot. Ali felt very happy because he had a good time with his family.
I would choose a farmhouse because it is quiet and peaceful, and it’s far away from technology.
On holiday, I'd choose the farmhouse rather than the city flat because it's big, calm, and suitable for activities like barbecue
I would choose the city flat, it's perfect !
I'll choose farmhouse because there is bigger and there is quiet and has a good weather and you can have a good time in farmhouse.
I would choose the farmhouse for my family during our holiday because we all love the greenery and the quiet atmosphere, and my husband loves barbecuing.
I'd choose the Farmhouse. It's the perfect opportunity to forget about technology and homework. I really like the idea of a barbecue and spending time outdoors in the garden.
