Summer Holiday

We like to get away to somewhere warm every year (we spend most of the year looking forward to it)! This year we decided on the Greek Island of Kos. My brother gave us a lift to the airport and saw us off. After saying goodbye to him we boarded the plane and took off. As soon as we arrived at the hotel we checked in and took our luggage to our room. Because it was still early we decided to look around the town. We were very impressed with Kos. We enjoyed ourselves so much that time flew by and before we knew it, it was time to go back home.

• Get away - to leave to go somewhere often for a break or holiday.
• Look forward - to excited about something that is going to happen.
• See off - to go to the place that someone is leaving from to say goodbye to them
• Take off - when an aircraft leaves and begins to fly
• Check in - to register at a hotel or airport.
• Look around - to look at what is near you, in your area.
• Get back -to return.

Complete these sentences with the correct phrasal verb. Change the tense when needed:

• 1. I'm so exhausted. I think it's time for a holiday, I really need to away.
• 2. We have to at the hotel after 12PM.
