Unit III Text а Travelling

People can travel on business or for pleasure and for this they use different means of transport.

Passengers buy tickets at the booking-office at the railway station or at one of the agencies. It is advisable to buy tickets in advance.

On the day of departure the passenger gets to the railway station, finds the necessary platform and shows the ticket to the conductor of his/her car, finds his/her seat or berth (upper or lower) and puts the luggage on the luggage rack. When the train leaves the station the conductor meets passengers, checks their tickets, and brings in the bedding and tea. In the carriage one can read a book or a magazine to while away the time during the journey. If the passenger is hungry, he may go to the dining-car (carriage). A foreigner always notices the platforms in Britain and the USA. The platform in those countries is almost on a level with the floor of the carriage. This makes it easier to get on and off with the luggage.

Businessmen prefer to fly by plane, especially in the travel abroad. A plane will take the passenger to any part of the world in as many hours as take days to travel by other means.

At the airport the traveller first goes through the Customs and the passport control. The clerk in the check-in-desk checks the ticket, weights the luggage and gives him a boarding pass/card. The passengers have to wait for the flight in the departure lounge. In some time the loudspeaker announces the flight and the passengers go to the departure gate, where the hostesses meet them, check their boarding passes and show them to the seats. The seats in the plane are comfortable and movable. The captain of the plane greets the passengers on board the plane and wishes them a good journey.

Soon the plane begins to take off, the hostess asks the passengers to fasten seat belts/safety-belts (when the plane reaches the necessary altitude the passengers unfasten the belts). During the flight the hostesses take care of the passengers. They bring food and drinks and, if a passenger feels bad, they bring the medicines too. The plane begins to land and the passengers see “Fasten the Belts“ sign on the display. In the foreign airport they get through the passport control and the Customs again.

Businessmen usually stay at a hotel and, as a rule, they reserve a room in advance. The clerk at the reception desk checks a reservation, asks to fill in a special form and gives the key to the room.

Checking out time at all hotels of the world is midday. Those, who stay at a hotel, usually eat out in a restaurant or a cafe. Sometimes, when they are too tired, after a busy day, they can order food over the telephone and a waiter will bring it into the room.
