Speak up!
Before speaking, read carefully the following notice.
Now say what you like doing on holidays and why. Remember that we can always use a noun or V+ing forms after the verbs like, love, enjoy, and be a fan of. E.g.:
I enjoy (like, love) football. I enjoy (love, like) playing football. I am a fan of (like, love) bicycles. I am a fan of (like, love) riding a bicycle.
You can also use to + infinitive after like and love. E.g.: I like to ride a bicycle because I feel strong. I love to read near the sea because it is romantic.
А теперь расскажи, что тебе нравится делать на каникулах и почему. Помни, что мы всегда можем использовать существительное или формы глагол + ing после like (нравиться), love (любить), enjoy (наслаждаться) и be a fan of (быть поклонником). Например.:
I enjoy (like, love) football. I enjoy (love, like) playing football. I am a fan of (like, love) bicycles. I am a fan of (like, love) riding a bicycle.
Вы также можете использовать to + инфинитив после like и love. Например: I like to ride a bicycle because I feel strong. (Мне нравится кататься на велосипеде, потому что я чувствую себя сильным.) I love to read near the sea because it is romantic. (Я люблю читать у моря, потому что это романтично.)
Now your turn! Say what you like doing on vacations and why. Теперь ваш черед! Скажите, что вам нравится делать в отпуске и почему.

At the beach, Lily builds sandcastles and jumps on a trampoline. She even tries surfing. Then they head to the mountains. Lily loves the tall trees and fresh air. She explores the forest, spots butterflies, and sees a deer.
