    SPEAKING PART 3: RESPONSIBLE TOURISM

    In Part 3 of the Speaking test, the examiner asks further questions connected to the topic of Part 2. These questions explore more abstract ideas and issues.

    Try it rst!
    1 Before you study this section, try developing the theme of the previous section into the more abstract area of travel and tourism in general. Work in pairs. One person is the examiner, the other is the candidate. Here are some suggestions for questions from the examiner.

    Why do you think tourism is so popular and still increasing in popularity? Do you think people always get what they were hoping for on holiday? Why is tourism so important to some economies? What environmental problems can be caused by tourism? What can be done to reduce these environmental problems?

    2 Now reverse roles and discuss these questions.

    The impersonal you
    When describing typical experiences, its often a good idea to use the impersonal you. For example, when talking about hotels: In most hotels, you cant check in until the early afternoon, and you usually have to check out by around 11 a.m. Some older grammar books suggest one as an alternative to the impersonal you (e.g. One doesnt usually need to make a reservation.). This is now considered very old-fashioned and is seldom used in spoken English.
    2 Rewrite these sentences using the impersonal you.

    1 Its possible to eat cheaply and very well in the local restaurants.
    You can eat cheaply and very well in the local restaurants.

    2 Its necessary to book accommodation a long time in advance. 3 Its not a good idea to take a car into the city centre. 4 Its possible to use an international credit card to pay for most things.

    Reported speech
    If you want to include something somebody said to you, remember the rules of reported speech. Verbs usually go into the past. However, for something which is obviously still true, putting the verb into the past can be optional. We had a great time. They said (that) they (had) had a great time. The seas freezing! She said (that) the sea was freezing. We love it here. They said (that) they loved it there. / They said (that) they love it here/there. I hate ying. He said (that) he hated ying. / He said (that) he hates ying. If in doubt, change the verb to the past!

    3 Change these sentences into reported speech.

    1 Im not very happy with the hotel. She said 2 I can read a bit of the local language, but I cant communicate. He said 3 I dont want to eat in international chain restaurants. She said 4 We come here every year. They said 5 Weve been coming here for the last ten years. They said 6 Weve never been here before. They told me
