【话匣子英语】加拿大旅游
英语课
哈皮和安德鲁今天讨论的是话题是去加拿大旅游.....
Harp 1: OK, so I think we should get started with today’s episode.
Andrew: Yes. And today’s episode is all about travelling in Canada, but with a little twist.
Harp: Yes. We’re going to give you some tips on how to travel in Canada pretty much on a budget.
Andrew: Mmhmm. Because I know a lot of our listeners probably want to visit Canada, but, to be honest, it’s not a cheap place to visit. You can spend a lot of money while you’re here.
Harp: Yes. And it’s pretty isolated 2 so it’s pretty expensive to get here in the first place, so you might not have that much money left over once you do get here. And it’s such a big country that trying to see more than one region is really expensive.
Andrew: That is right. So we’re going to give you some tips and some suggestions about how to do this on a shoestring 3 budget.
Harp: All right. Let’s get started.
Andrew: OK, so the first category we’re going to talk about is accommodation.
Harp: Yes, where to stay.
Andrew: That’s right. And now, the first place that pops into my head is a hotel.
Harp: Yes, but hotels are expensive.
Andrew: Exactly. Hotels are expensive, so we have a couple of suggestions about where you could stay to save some cash.
Harp: Yes. The first one I think about is a hostel 4.
Andrew: Yeah. Hostels 5 are great. I’ve stayed at them while I’ve been travelling in Europe, and in Asia too. And I’ve always had a really good time at hostels.
Harp: Yeah, me too. And, so basically, a hostel is where you have usually shared accommodations, so you have maybe a room with four or six other people, and you share a bathroom. And oftentimes I find they have kitchens, where you can cook, and so it’s much cheaper than staying at a hotel.
