Topic 4 - Places You Recommend

What are some places you recommend that are worth going to visit?  If I were to visit your country, where should I go?  Have you traveled to any place (in the world) that you can recommend to the class?  I know there is a spectacular mall in Dubai and a beautiful beach, Messilah Beach, in Kuwait.  In the past some of my students have traveled to England, Egypt, and Indonesia.  How about you?  Is there any place you have visited that stands out in your mind as a beautiful, interesting, or special place that everybody should go to?

Several years ago, my family went on vacation to Lake Tahoe.  It is in Northern California, about 9 hours drive from here.  The natural beauty of the area is unforgettable! Surrounding the lake are beautiful, tall mountains with many green trees.  The large lake is filled with clear blue-green water that is ice cold, even in the summer.  There is a black sand beach on the north side because there was once a volcano thousands of years ago.  On the south side, there is scenic bay, called Emerald Bay.

In addition to the view, Lake Tahoe also offers many activities.  You can boat, fish, and swim in the lake.  In the winter, you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the mountains.  In the summer, you can hike and go horseback riding.  All year round people enjoy visiting Lake Tahoe.  If you have time, I recommend visiting Lake Tahoe.
