Things you could do

3:38

Or you could go for a walk in the national parks outside of the city.

3:38

Or you could go to see some of the museums they have.

3:43

There’s lots of things you could do.

3:44

Yeah, and when we use 'could', we're talking about 'things that are possible'.

3:50

Yes, and that's different from 'should',

3:52

because when I say you should do something,

3:54

it means that it’s a good idea or I'm giving you advice.

3:58

But 'could', I'm just giving you some options,

4:01

things that are possible for you to do.

4:03

Now, we don't always go to another country on holiday

4:08

or even a different city, do we?

4:10

No, now it's actually quite popular to go on holiday inside your own country

4:15

and we have a word for this, don't we, Neil?

4:17

Yes, we do. It combines two words, the word 'stay' and the word 'vacation'.

4:23

Put them together and you have 'staycation'.

4:26

And a 'staycation'

4:27

is 'a holiday at, actually in, your house, or near your house'.

4:31

Have you ever done a staycation, Neil?

4:35

Yes, plenty of times!

4:38

Often, on a staycation you might do day trips,

4:41

so go and visit places in the area, but come home in the evening.

4:51

Now the problem with holidays is they are expensive.

4:54

We probably need to save up money if we want to travel to all these places,
