Package holidays, covering a two weeks stay in an attractive location are
increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive:bao gồm price with few extras.
Once you get to=go to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see(be up to sb to
v:giao trách nhiệm cho ai làm gì= be down to sb= be responsible for V_ing) that you
get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing,
skiing - you name it – it’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to
bother anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very
little chance=opportunity that you will really get to know the local people. This is
even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling.
Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and
monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some
famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the
coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is
always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to
spend(obligate sb to V:ép buộc, bắt buộc ai đó làm gì) your holiday with a group of
people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for
getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly
the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period
on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the
world go by:in the past/in space or time.
(Excuse for: forgive sb/st; allow sb not to do st or attend st) argue with sb= have break
up with sb;argue about st; argue for V_ing: phản đối làm gì
