Download this free B1–B2 English worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson is based on tourist pricing, local discounts and the question of whether visitors should pay more than residents at public attractions.
Students practise reading comprehension, useful vocabulary, phrase matching and speaking skills through a real-world travel and society topic about tourism, entrance fees, national parks, resident discounts, conservation, overcrowding and fairness. The worksheet is suitable for private English lessons, online classes, classroom teaching, homework and discussion practice.
The article explains the topic in clear, accessible English. Students read that in 2026, non-US residents aged 16 and over visiting 11 of America’s busiest national parks must pay a $100 surcharge on top of the normal entrance fee. An annual pass costs $250 for non-residents but $80 for US residents.
This worksheet helps B1–B2 learners discuss tourism, money and fairness in everyday English. Students talk about whether they have noticed different prices for locals and visitors, whether local taxpayers deserve a better deal, whether high visitor fees can reduce overcrowding, and when a price difference starts to feel unfair.
The PDF includes a B1–B2 reading text, True / False questions, Phrase Match, Synonym Match, a task where students use new language, discussion questions and a full answer key. It helps learners build useful vocabulary for talking about foreign tourists, residents, crowded attractions, maintenance, wealthy visitors, transparent pricing, conservation and where to draw the line.
