Do's and Don'ts before travelling [Eighth Grade]

Dear Students:

 For the third entry we'll discuss the importance of research about a place before visiting it. As you may know, the internet allows us to look for information, picture and adressess in a second. While some people claim that is well to be informed before visiting a place, others say that know about the place beforehand makes your travel less exciting.

 In your opinion, do you believe that being informed takes away all the fun from a trip? Why / Why not? Would you research a place before visiting? why / why not? where would you get information of a place? can you give examples?

 Please leave your comments in at least 65-85 words

Target Language: Would, vocabulary related to the unit.

Deadline: May 21st

Kind regards,

  2. It does not take fun, because is important to be informed from the place you visit. Yes, I would investigate he place where I am visiting, it is important. I would get information from "Google" , or page touristic. In my opinion is very important to look for information because if not, it can happen an accident of any type of problem for not knowing their culture and traditions.

  6. Hello techer
    I find k if it takes away the fun because if you want to travel to one side is because you want to know because if you search the Internet is like "that I saw it" but it is still good to find Internet restaurant or hotels but for me takes away the diversion.I will investigate but not your tourist places or things like research, as it says in the previous question as restaurants, hotels, or if the country has a disease. I think you would get information with people who have gone to place xo in the tourist guides for that destined place.

  9. hello teacher
    Being informed does not take away the diversion, being informed is better than reaching a part that you do not know.
    If I travel, I would investigate because that's how I know where I am and how is the people of the country.
    The information can be obtained from google, touristic information points, internet pages and talking with people who know the country I will visit.

  10. Being informed before traveling does not take away the fun of the trip, it is very important to have some information since all places have their own different culture. I would investigate the place before visiting because I would not want to disrespect the culture or the people, but you can get information in touristism websites about specific areas.

  11. hello teacher my name is Ignacio Quijada
    I think being informed does not take away all the fun of a trip because you know which places are the most touristy if you can say, if you would research a specific place to go because you always have to be informed about the place and what can happen , I would get information of a place in google in poster or brochures for example square Sotomayor place with the parade the presentation of the forces air.

    I believe that being informed about a place doesn't take the fun away because, you know where you are and not get lose.

    I will research a place before visiting because i could be informed about the place.

    I would get information of a place by searching in a touristic page or google.

  14. Hi teacher:
    The truth is that I would not like to be informed for the trip, but if I am informed with the main streets and things like that, being only a little informed makes the trip more fun to speak another language or interact with people and Learn from the place with your own eyes.
    that's my opinion.
    Goodbye teacher

  16. Hello Teacher.

    Here are my answers for the questions you made it

    do you believe that being informed takes away all the fun from a trip? Why / Why not?

    No,Because Imagine a place where are illness and you not research about that so you can contract the illness you feel bad?,rigth and Not only,you can miss,die for hungry,etc.
    so for your goodness research before the trip.


    Would you research a place before visiting? why / why not?


    For the reasons I mention before,and not only for that, if I don't research I can't find the landmarks and the touristic places
    and the Fares are other reason.

    where would you get information of a place? can you give examples?

    in the internet,maybe in periodics, in the news or, in Brochure's about the country or the place oficial websites,etc.

  17. Hi teacher
    I believe that being informed does not take away the fun of the trip because that way you are anxious about all the things that await you at the place that is going to go. I think that if you research a place before visiting it, you will know if there are any illnesses or entertaining things to do in that place. Obtain information about the place in a relative who has gone to the place or if not google.

  18. hi teacher my name is martin diaz

    my opinion if it investigates it takes away the fun and when one travels it is going to have fun

    I would not investigate because when you travel you will have fun if you only investigate if you travel in a group

    I would invest in pages or videos from YouTube or wikipedia but I would not investigate
