STEP1 Talk about when you went on a trip to Jeju island.
A few years ago, I went on vacation at Jeju Island. We reserved a cabin room right by the sea. When we touched down at the airport, we rented a car and headed to the cabin. We really liked the ocean view. As soon as we unpacked, we visited various tourist attractions. We also hiked up Hallasan Mountain. We also ate a lot of Jeju Island's local food.

STEP2 Talk about Jeju island.
Jeju Island is a large island situated at the southern tip of Korea. Geologically, it's a volcanic island created by volcanic activity. Many tourists visit Jeju Island to see its geographic formations. This makes Jeju a top pick among Korean tourists. With lots of specialty regional products like tangerines and black pork, there is also plenty of food native to the island. The weather is on the mild side, relatively speaking. The average temperature is 15°C. There have been active efforts to lure in foreign tourists lately, so more of them are paying a visit each year.
