Model answer
These days many people are choosing not to travel abroad for
their holidays. There are several reasons for this.
The main reason i s financial. In the current economic climate,
people have less money for their leisure pursuits. Holidays
abroad are not cheap. Additional expenses include the
purchase of a visa for some countries, and the need to buy
travel insurance and foreign currency.
Another important reason for holidaying at home is the effect
foreign travel has on the environment. Air travel produces
more pollution than any other form of transport, so is the least
green.
People also feel safer in their own country. They are used to
the food and water, so they feel they are less likely to become
ill. And, if necessary, they can more easily return home.
This year I have decided to stay at home. In fact, I’m going to
sleep in my own bed every night. There are many beautiful
places in my country which foreign visitors come to see. I want
to enjoy these places too. And some of them, I can visit by bike!
