A trip to Cherokee
Last May I was choosing an unusual holiday tour. It was a __hard__ task because flights to Japan, Hong Kong and Australia were just too common. What I wanted was somewhere exciting and exotic, a place where I could be __spared__ from the crowds of tourists. I was so happy when Joan called up, suggesting to take a trip to Cherokee, a county in the state of Oklahoma. I agreed immediately.
It didn’t __take__ us long to prepare for this trip and soon we took a flight to Cherokee and visited a village, which presents a brief image of the Indian past to the tourists. __Despite__ the language barrier, we managed to find our way to the souvenir shops with the help of the natives. The shops were filled with colorful traditional clothes, made of turkey feathers, and other bright souvenirs. “Welcome! Want to get anything?” We __saw__ a middle-aged man smiling at us. We were very surprised by his fluent English. He introduced himself as George and we ended up chatting till lunch time when he invited us for lunch at a __nearby__ coffee shop. George told us that he used to cut firewood for a living. We __learnt__ from him that the Cherokees do not depend solely on trade for survival. This story was really interesting. Back at home, I often remember this amazing trip.
