Honey, there are two tour options today
for Martinique. Well, three if you count a self-guided
tour.
* self-guided: done without the
supervision of a tour guide
ex> The self-guided tour
through the castle included a recorded description of each room.
The one leaving at 8:00 does, but since
it’s 7:45, we’d be really pushing it to catch that one.
How about this other quaint town called La Trinite?
* quaint: charming and old-fashioned;
picturesque;
ex> The small French village was quaint
with its stone houses and small bakery.
I guess our best option is to make up
our own tour. And if that’s the case,
we should also try to see Mt. Pelee, the volcano on the north of the island.
* if that’s the case…: if the situation
is like this…
ex> The bakery is closed? If that’s
the case, we should drive to the next town.
Sounds like we have a full day ahead of
us. Should we hire a driver or go it
alone?
* go it alone: to do something without
any assistance
ex> Sometimes you have to go it
alone if you want to accomplish your goals.
ex> Remember, you don’t have to go
it alone. Your family and friends are here for you.
Let’s support the island economy and “go native” for the day.
* go native: to do things the way the
locals do
ex> Sometimes it’s hard to go
native if you don’t speak the language of the place you are visiting.
<Practice Makes Perfect>
1. I prefer to take self-guide
tours so I can go at my own pace.
2. The quaint wooden beach
house had a nice view of the sea.
3. You won’t give me a refund? If that’s the case, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
4. Nancy likes to go it alone
rather than work in a together.
