Description

In this session, we will explore the idea of “slow travel” and why it is becoming more popular today. You will learn how traveling slowly helps people enjoy deeper experiences, connect with local culture, and reduce stress compared to fast-paced tourism. We will practice speaking about travel habits, preferences, and experiences using simple and natural English. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to share your thoughts about travel and explain why slowing down can make journeys more meaningful and enjoyable.
