Top tourist destinations
 BALI
Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine
white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a
WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic
capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver- smithing
workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.
LONDON
There’s so much to see and do in London, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. Major sights like the Tower of
London and Buckingham Palace are on most visitors’ itineraries, but no matter what your interests, you’ll
probably find, something here. Art lovers should make a beeline for the National Gallery and the Tate Modern.
If military history’s your thing, don’t miss the Cabinet War Rooms. Finally, forget everything you’ve heard
about bland, mushy British food- the restaurant scene here is fabulous.

only with some others, so when you learn lexical items, do not learn them (2)

correctly will help you sound natural. If you combine words in English by literally (4) meanings from your
mother tongue, your word choice might not be correct or might sound ‘weird’. Reading and listening
extensively in English is very helpful. You will be exposed to the ways (5) speakers use English in
spoken and written texts. Learning collocations from a dictionary is also very useful. Oxford Collocations
Dictionary for Students of English, is an extremely (6) resource.
