This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is talking about travelling at weekends.
Most people work a five day week, which leaves them Saturday and Sunday to enjoy their time. Many people like to use the weekend to simply relax, others pack it with travel.
Travelling is something that many people enjoy, for holidays, for work, and for life. There are, however, many considerations when it comes to travelling at weekends.
Here are 10 conversation questions to get you talking about travelling at weekends!
The Thinking in English Conversation Club takes place every TUESDAY at 12pm, 6pm, and 9pm, and THURSDAY at 12pm and 6pm UK time!
You can find more details on how to participate on Patreon and Discord!
