That is the first question I made to my english conversation teacher, yesterday. He, a very polite person, answered that it would be nice to hear it from me.
Next, I'll try to reproduce the monologue as I told my professor.
I have been asked to talk about a trip, and how it was, and anecdote, if I would recommend it, and so on.
I have chosen a trip I made with my wife to Ecuador. It was very special for me because I met my wife's family for the first time.
We took a flight in Almería which made a scale in Madrid and we landed in Guayaquil fifteen hours later. It is a very long journey.
When we arrived to Guayaquil my wife's family was waiting for us. My first impression was pleasant, Ecuadorians are a very polite people. On the other hand I suffered a lot with hot weather, even though I am from Almería which is a sunny city located in the south of Spain. Other thing I enjoyed a lot was the food, they have many different types of tasteful fruits.
We spent three weeks in Ecuador. We travelled around the country, I can remember now that we visited Quito (this city is the Ecuador's capital), Cuenca, Ambato and Baños. We stayed two or three days in each city.
But the most special was to visit Galapagos Islands. We took a flight from Guayaquil to Galapagos which lasted two hours. I really love Galapagos, the wildlife in these islands is simply amazing. I had the chance of swimming with sea lions, I saw the most big turtles I've ever seen, birds with blue legs, whales which were raising ...I really enjoyed this part of the trip.
An anecdote was that we could see a turtle unique, its name was "old George". It was living in the Darwin Center to help turtles. Old George was very special because it was different from other common turtles, it had a very long neck and its eyes were positioned in a different way, but for me it had a gentle look in its eyes. One or two months later this turtle died.
It is likely that I would commit lots of cultural gaffes, but as I said before Ecuadorians are a very kind people and they made me feel very comfortable. My main cultural gaffe was that I always tried to kiss women twice, and they didn't like it.
In conclusion, as you will suppose, I will come back to Ecuador because part of my wife's family lives there.
But the point is that Ecuador is a worth place to visit, it has lots of attractions, if you like beach you can find much in Ecuador, if you like wildlife, that is the best place in the world, if you like cultural tourism, you can find many interesting cities, and so on.
