El año pasado fui a Torremolinos con mi familia y lo pasamos muy bien porque hizo un tiempo mucho mejor que en Inglaterra.
En mi opinión, el turismo es muy importante para un país porque ayuda la economía y crea empleos. Sin embargo hay muchas desventajas también.
Generalmente voy de vacaciones con mi familia, pero preferiría ir con mis amigos porque son menos aburridos. Para mis vacaciones ideales iría a las islas Galápagos porque me interesa la naturaleza. Me gustaría visitar todos los sitios de interés.

I usually go on holiday with my family, but I would prefer to go with my friends because they are less boring. For my ideal holidays, I would go to the Galapagos Islands because I am interested in nature. I would like to visit all the places of interest.
