  • 6 News English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Alice.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • So, Neil, what's the best holiday you've ever had?

  • Ooh, that would be scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.

  • Ooh!

  • It was awesome.

  • I saw sharks, sea turtles, manta rays.

  • I certainly don't like the idea of coming nose to nose with a shark.

  • But then diving isn't really my thing.

  • I'm more into cultural holidays, you know,

  • visiting the ruins of ancient civilizations.

  • Oh, that's very worthy, Alice.

  • But tourists are actually damaging a number of important sites around the world,

  • tramping around, dropping litter,

  • scribbling graffiti everywhere.

  • I would never drop litter or scribble graffiti.

  • Well, we're talking about World Heritage sites today,

  • which are places UNESCO considers to be at risk from various threats and in need of protection.
