Travel is a common topic of conversation amongst friends and people you don’t know so well. This topic is neutral and anyone can participate by asking questions or explaining their travel experience. Also, people tend to talk about travel because it is exciting!
Conversation Flow
Leo (Leonardo) starts by showing his enthusiasm for the topic with the word ‘Wow’ following with the idea that there are many great places in the world. However, to keep the conversation interesting, he naturally says a location ‘Thailand’ and one of his favorite activities ‘scuba diving’. Leo finishes his thought with the last place he went to ‘the Galapagos Islands’.
The person asking questions can easily continue the conversation by asking about the place(s) or activity. However, the listener selects scuba diving because Leo mentions scuba diving in two locations: Thailand and the Galapagos Islands.
Casual Slang Expressions
(1)I’m a ‘big’ scuba diver. =
I really like scuba diving/I love scuba diving.
(2)You ‘can’t beat’ the Great Barrier Reef for coral reefs =
The Great Barrier Reef for coral reefs is the best.
This common conversation topic is easy to adapt to your own travels internationally or nationally. Our favorite activity often is connected to our vacations. This style is comfortable but exciting for the speaker and listener! Try it out!
