Utazás külföldre – angol érettségi tétel

A középszintű angol érettségi utazásról és turizmusról szóló témakörében érdemes bemutatni, miért utaznak az emberek, hogyan készülünk elő egy külföldi útra, milyen közlekedési eszközöket és szálláshelyeket választhatunk, valamint milyen élményeket szerezhetünk nyaralás közben.

Egy személyes utazási élmény elmesélésekor fontos megemlíteni, kikkel utaztunk, hogyan választottuk ki az úti célt, milyen volt az oda- és a visszaút, hol szálltunk meg, milyen városokat és nevezetességeket láttunk, mit csináltunk a szabadidőnkben, illetve milyen emberekkel és ételekkel találkoztunk. Ha egy korábbi utazásról beszélünk, az eseményeket egyszerű múlt időben érdemes elmondani.

Miért utaznak az emberek?

Travelling abroad has become much easier in the past 20 years, because it is more simple to plan your trip based on the information you can find on the internet. In the past only wealthy people could afford holidays but these days many people go abroad. Young people often travel to find out more about the world.

People often travel on business, for pleasure, for relaxation or even for education or for their health. Families often go on package holidays to Greece, Italy or Croatia. Backpackers are interested in exotic places and different cultures.

The seaside in the summer, and ski resorts in the winter are the most popular destinations for Hungarians. These days it is possible to travel on a budget. We can see more and more pensioners going on holiday tours, visiting famous cities and beauty spots.

Travelling on business is different; trips are often short, hectic and tiring. After retiring, it is easier to go abroad because they don’t have a job to worry about and they can avoid the summer crowds. In Hungary, however, many elderly people cannot afford to go abroad because pensions are low.

Miért szeretek utazni?

Nowadays everyone is crazy about travelling. I don’t think there are any people in the world who don’t like travelling. People love moving around: they travel both inland and abroad.

There is more money about in Hungary now, and going to the west or even to more exotic and fascinating places like Mexico, Chile, Thailand or has become much easier, people can afford travelling. I also like travellling very much.

I like to go inland and abroad for my holiday. When I am on holiday I like to see as many new things as possible. I enjoy walking around busy towns, and meeting as many people as possible.

I like going out in the evenings, visiting good pubs, clubs, cafés and having a lot of fun. I like it when the nightlife is exciting when I am on my holiday. But I also like to go to nice and quiet places for my holiday.

I love spending my holiday in the country or on a quiet and peaceful seaside beach. I enjoy swimming, having a good drink, enjoying the delicious and tasty specialities or taking long walks along the sea-shore and going hiking or going on outings to the forests / woods.

Utazás külföldre: előkészületek és szervezés

First of all, if I want to go abroad, I go to a travel agency and ask them what they can offer. Then I choose the tour or place that I like and start thinking about what things I will need for the journey.

If I decide to go abroad I have to get all the necessary documents. If I decide to go on an individual tour I have to arrange the accommodation for myself.

We usually choose the destination, program, and activities together. My mother books the accommodation on the Internet. Our family tries to avoid the peak tourist season and crowded places when traveling anywhere.

Travelling abroad has become much easier in the past 20 years, because it is more simple to plan your trip based on the information you can find on the internet. We always buy travelogues, and research our holiday destination on the Internet.

I search the Internet to find out about admission fees to museums, and attractions or sights in the area. Checking the weather forecast or special customs can make our stay more pleasant.

A csomagolás

Before travelling you have to pack some of your clothes, your toilet goods such as your toothbrush and comb. It is good to take a camera with you as well.

My family never makes a packing list, and I always prepare the luggage the night before departure. If it is a summer holiday, I always pack clothes that don’t wrinkle and suntan lotion.

A rolling bag can be very practical. A backpack and sleeping bag can be very useful.

Fontos dokumentumok

In the European Union, personal documents are necessary to identify yourself: you need an ID card or a passport. Before going abroad to other parts of the world, always check if you need a visa.

If you want to travel abroad you need a passport and some foreign currency. There are some countries for which you also need a visa.

We always check whether or not our passports have expired. If we travel by car we have to take my father’s driving licence and obtain a motorway sticker.

Forgetting about medical insurance credit card or reservation confirmations can spoil your vacation. Besides organizing travel and accommodation, it is a good idea to take out travel insurance.

Teendők indulás előtt otthon

Make sure you have someone pick up the post, unplug electrical items, and water the plants before going on holiday. Arrange for someone to house-sit or mow the lawn.

Don’t forget to lock the doors and windows, store valuables in secure places, and move houseplants away from direct sunlight.

Repülővel történő utazás

I think the quickest and most comfortable way of travelling abroad is flying. I have flown. I think it is a very comfortable and fast way of travelling, but I didn't really enjoy flying especially when I sat next to the window and looked at the clouds.

I didn't love looking at the clouds or the beautiful scenery underneath: because I was scared.

Before boarding the plane the passengers must check in. Their luggage is weighed and they get a boarding card. Then they go to the departure lounge where they have to wait for some time.

When their flight is announced they go to the right gate and get into the plane.

At the customs you are asked to show your passport and you may also be asked to show your luggage to the customs officials. If you have something to declare you are asked to fill in a form and pay some duty on the goods that are not duty-free.

Szálláshelyek és szállásfoglalás

When choosing accommodation, travellers can stay in a youth hostel, hotel, guesthouse, tent at a campsite, bed and breakfast or inn.

Foreigners in Hungary can stay in camping-sites, motels, often by the main road, and different kinds of hotel, one-star hotels, two-star hotels, three-star hotels, four or five-star hotels.

In summer they can also stay in guest houses because there are a lot of people who let their houses to foreigners at that time of the year. Lake Balaton is always packed with foreign tourists during the main season, and Siófok is a holiday resort which is still very popular with tourists.

Szállástípusok és szobák

In a hotel they can usually offer you a choice of single rooms, double rooms, rooms with three or more beds, rooms with showers or with baths.

If you are in a seaside hotel some rooms overlook the sea, other rooms may overlook the main road or the park. A room with a view is always more expensive because it is so popular with the tourists.

Accommodation can include full board or half board. Travellers can book a holiday, a room or a flight, put somebody up, check in, check out and pay the bill.

Szoba foglalása

You can book a room on the phone or you can write a letter of reservation. When you are booking a room you always agree on the type of the room you want, the price and the number of nights you are going to spend there.

When you arrive at the convenient hotel you check in. You fill in the registration form writing down your personal data, the room number and the number of nights you want to spend at the hotel.

The reception clerk will then give you the key and will show you up to your room.

Egy emlékezetes külföldi nyaralás elmesélése

I would like to speak about the most memorable holiday of my life. Last year me and my class travelled to Italy and we stayed there for a week.

Just for your information, this is a tradition at my school that 12th graders take a trip to Italy. We travelled by bus, we decided to set off at midnight and it took more than 12 hours to get there, and the journey was terrible.

We stopped very rarely at gas stations and each stop lasted for at least an hour. However, we had a very good time on the bus, we were watching films, listening to music and sometimes we even sang a few songs just to kill time.

We didn’t sleep a second and we were talking all the way and the bus driver was very annoyed by this.

Érkezés Olaszországba és a szállás

We crossed Slovenia on the way there, which was breathtaking because we got to see huge mountains and we could eat traditional Slovenian foods at a petrol station.

Finally we arrived at around noon at a place called Cavallino, which is a seaside place and it is also very famous for its marketplace.

We occupied the accommodation which was in caravans. Four of us stayed in one caravan and we had lots of fun there.

A tengerpart és az első programok

On the first day we went down to the beach, and although the weather was cold, we still had a good swim in the sea, and one of my friends took a lot of photos.

Next morning we went to a marketplace and I bought a very good quality t-shirt, and in the afternoon we spent our time by the sea again.

Velence, Padova, Verona és Sirmione

On day three we went to Venice, which is a fascinating town full of history and beautiful buildings. We argued a lot but finally we decided to take a gondola-ride with my friends and it was amazing.

On the remaining days we headed for Padova which is also a great city. We also visited Verona and Sirmione, and took a stunning boat-ride on Lake Garda.

When we didn’t travel, we were hanging out by the sea, and at night we had very good conversations.

Emberek és gasztronómiai élmények

The food and the people are just awesome in Italy. Everybody is very kind, and the pizzas and pastas are definitely something you shouldn’t miss.

Always try the local food when on a holiday.

A hazautazás és az emlékek

We were very sad when the last day came but we were also happy because we knew that this would be a memory for a lifetime.

We packed our luggage and set off for home. The journey was even more tiring than the way there, and everybody was really exhausted.

When I got home, I slept until noon, and woke up wanting to turn back time and start the whole vacation over.

Hasznos szókincs

Hogyan készülj fel az érettségi témára?

Ha középszintű angol érettségire készülsz, fontos, hogy tudd, milyen témák fordulhatnak elő a szóbelin. Ez nemcsak segít a tanulásban, hanem növeli a magabiztosságodat is, hiszen előre tudsz gyakorolni.

A középszintű angol érettségi célja, hogy felmérje, mennyire tudsz hétköznapi helyzetekben kommunikálni angolul. Nem kell tökéletes nyelvtudás, de folyamatosan és érthetően kell beszélned.

Készíts kulcsszólistát! Írd össze minden témához a legfontosabb szavakat és kifejezéseket. Gyakorolj hangosan! Ha nem tudsz kivel beszélgetni, mondd el a válaszaidat tükör előtt vagy vedd fel magad.

Nézz videókat az egyes témákról angolul! Ez segít, hogy természetesebb kifejezéseket használj.

A tétel kifejtésekor először nevezd meg az utazás célját és az úti célt, majd beszélj az előkészületekről, a közlekedésről, a szállásról, a programokról, az emberekről és az ételekről. Egy személyes történetben az egyszerű múlt használata segít abban, hogy az események időrendben és érthetően kövessék egymást.
