Advantages and disadvantages of going on
a city break holiday
When giving your opinion remember to always make an introduction:
A city break holiday is one of the most frequent types of travels that people usually go on throughout the
year because it can be interesting and a real eye-opener.
Moving towards the body of your speech use linkers to make generalisations around the topic.
However, despite being one of the most popular options, it is also true that there are advantages and
disadvantages of going on a city break holiday.
On the one hand…… (make a list of all possible positive aspects) some of the advantages are that people
can:
activity
Go sightseeing
Have a look round
Buy souvenirs
Try local food
Explore
example
For example they can visit museums, cathedrals or
in general all the main attractions
Streets and famous markets…
From artesanal shops…
Among the wide range of pubs and restaurants
New places including the unusual tourist ones
However, on the other hand……..(now make a list of all negative aspects: think about a beach holiday and
say what they can’t do) some of the disadvantages are that people can’t:
activity
Spend their time relaxing all day
Be sitting in the sun all day
Enjoy a releasing walk

shade
For example on the shore at the sunset
