Task 1
Rad the text and then discuss the following questions
KUTA BEACH
Kuta Beach is located on the western side of the island’s narrow isthmus and
is considered Bali’s most famous beach resort destination. Kuta Beach is also
minutes away from the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Tuban. The nearby
resorts of Tuban, Legian and Seminyak are all within close walking distance.
Once a simple, rustic and quiet fishing village, Kuta Beach has witnessed a
transformation over the past years due to the rise of various accommodations,
dining and shopping options. The rapid growth owes much to visitors, beachcombers
and art lovers from nearby Australia. Expatriates also helped pioneer surfing in
Kuta, as well.
Although a rather frenzied traffic scene has become commonplace here, Kuta
Beach continues to attract thousands of visitors every year with its unique charm.
During the peak season from July to August and the holiday season for Christmas
and New Year, Kuta Beach is regularly fully-booked by travellers looking forward to
a pleasant and affordable Bali escape. It is so beautiful that many visitors visit this
place.
