Reading
1 Read the article about kinds of holidays and complete the sentences with words from the article.

For a quiet holiday,

you can stay in a
cottage. Cottages
are usually old
and very pretty.
You can stay in
a cottage near a
forest. You can go for a walk to see the forest or the
mountains. Youll have a lovely time!

Camping is good because it is

cheap. Summer is the best time of
the year for camping because its
sunny and warm. You can camp in
many beautiful places near lakes
and waterfalls. Its great fun! You
must bring a tent and a lot of food
because there arent usually many
shops near camping areas.

Houseboats are very exciting. You can stay in a

houseboat on a river and you can travel to other
places near the river! You can also go swimming
on warm days. Its fantastic!
