Twenty years ago not many people travelled overseas for their holidays.
The majority of people stayed to have holidays in their country.
Today the situation is different and the world seems much smaller.
It is possible to book a holiday to a seaside resort on the other side of the world.
Staying at home, you can book it through the Internet or by phone.
The plane takes you straight there and within some hours of leaving your country, you can be on a tropical beach, breathing a super clean air and swimming in crystal warm water of tropical sea.
We can travel by car, by train or plane, if we have got a long distance tour.
Some young people prefer walking or hitch-hike travelling, when you travel, paying nearly nothing.

Task 2. Dictation.
Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe, but nowadays it's the only place where we can live.
People always polluted their surroundings.
But until now pollution was not such a serious problem.
People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale.
With the development of overcrowded industrial highly developed cities, which put huge amounts of pollutants into surrounds, the problem has become more and more dangerous.
Today our planet is in serious danger. Acid rains, global warming, air and water pollution, and overpopulation are the problems that threaten human lives on the Earth.
In order to understand how air pollution affects our body, we must understand exactly what this pollution is.
The pollutants that harm our respiratory system are known as particulates.
