Really good fresh fish is very hard to find, very hard to store and keep fresh – you’ve got to really cook it as soon as you buy it or there’s no point. It’s often fiddly to prepare and very smelly to cook. It’s what restaurants are FOR! It just amazes me that people will go into a restaurant and order the steak. A thing you can buy almost anywhere, keep for weeks, and cook however you like without doing anything to it and it’ll always basically be OK.

The lesson begins with listening and speaking, where Sts hear a British couple who emigrated to Spain in 1997 talking about their experiences, and then talk about people they know who have gone to live in another country, and the pros and cons. This is followed by the grammar section where Sts work on adding emphasis by using clauses or phrases which emphasize one part of a sentence, sometimes called cleft sentences.

As more and more people begin to travel, making sure tourism does not disrupt destinations and the life of the locals, is vital, especially in view of increasing measures for overtourism, anti-tourism protests and a growing anti-tourist sentiment across Europe.

“The campaign identifies a series of pledges that tourists should make in order for them to be more responsible in their travel behaviour,” said Rochelle Turner, research director at the WTTC. “There is a responsibility on the tourist.”

This said, Telegraph Travel published a brief traveler etiquette guide which suggests ways for travelers to do their part in making the destinations they visit better for the locals, the environment and their fellow holidaymakers.

Think about your average day as a series of choices. You get up, you choose what to eat, you decide whether to go for a run, whether or not to indulge in a glass of wine or to have a second helping of dessert. You’re constantly making decisions based on what you want versus what you think is good for you. But how do you know what’s good for you? Nowadays we are bombarded with research and statistics telling us what we should or shouldn’t do – but are the numbers really right?
