Web Quest - Planning your holiday in Britain

We're going to use the internet to find holidays for several groups of people:-

• Luis and Marta both enjoy cycling - Marta loves wildlife, especially horses.
• Roya and Aphshin want to go for a break in a sophisticated city, where they can visit museums and art galleries and eat well. They've been to London before.
• George and Daisy want a traditional, old-fashioned seaside break. They like trams and playing golf.
• Daud and Layla want to take their two children to the seaside for the day. They'd like to visit a funfair and go on some rides.
• Yuki and Taiko love mountains and would like to go treking for a few days.
• Sally and Kevin want to go somewhere with beautiful countryside and beaches.
• Amir likes to party and wants to learn to surf!
