Усім подобається подорожувати. Завдяки подорожам ми відкриваємо нові землі та обрії, дізнаємось про інші культури, збагачуємо свій духовний світ, розширюємо свій кругозір. До того ж завжди приємно і корисно на деякий час змінити оточення, втекти від буденності і поблукати вдалині від протоптаних доріг, насолодитися красою дикої природи, побродити піщаними пляжами або погрітися на сонечку.
Кожного літа я вирушаю в організовану турпоїздку, а цього разу я поїду на сафарі. Сафарі, як і інші види активного відпочинку, стають все популярнішими з кожним роком. Думаю, люди прагнуть нових вражень і відчуттів, яких замало у навіть найрозкішніших готелях найпопулярніших курортів.
Ми виїжджаємо у неділю. Наш літак відправляється о 10 ранку. Прибувши на місце, ми три дні спостерігатимемо за дикими тваринами у природному для них середовищі під палючим африканським сонцем, а потім здійснимо тур цікавими місцями Африки. Я ще думаю, чи не зробити щось дійсно екстремальне, як от: стрибнути з парашутом чи пірнути з аквалангом.
Наразі я закінчую читати книжку про мандрівки видатних мореплавців і море все сильніше задаровує мене, тому у наступну відпустку я вирушу у круїз морем. Мене хвилює лише те, що я завжди страшенно нервую, коли море стає неспокійним. Це дуже заважає насолоджуватися мандрівкою!

A BIT OF GRAMMAR
Present Perfect
We use the present perfect:
for an action which started in the past and continues up to the present, especially with stative verbs such as be, have, like, know, etc. I have known Dave for years.
for a recently completed action whose result is visible in the present. A new French restaurant has just opened in Bridge Street. We’re going there for dinner tomorrow.
for an action that happened at an unstated time in the past. The emphasis is on the action. The time that it occurred is unimportant or unknown. I have only visited Portugal once. (When? Unstated time.)
Time expressions used with the present perfect:
for, since, already, always, just, ever, never, so far, today, this week/month etc, how long, lately, recently, still (in negations), etc.
for is used with a period of time extending into the present: We’ve lived in London for ten years (and still live there).
since is used with a point in time and means ‘from that point to the time of speaking’: We’ve been friends since our schooldays.
Present Perfect Continuous
We use the present perfect continuous:
to put emphasis on the duration of an action which started in the past and continues up to the present, especially with words and expressions such as for, since, all morning/day/year etc. The boys have been playing football for hours.
for an action which started in the past and which lasted for some time. The action may still be continuing or have finished already with the result visible in the present. Ken is really tired. He has been working hard all week.
to express anger, irritation, or annoyance. They have been listening to that loud music all night.
for repeated actions in the past continuing to the present. I have been taking Spanish lessons at night school.
Note: with the verbs live, work, teach and feel we can use the present perfect or the present perfect continuous with no difference in meaning. He has taught/has been teaching at the school for more than twenty years.
Time expressions used with the present perfect continuous:
for, since, how long, lately, recently
Note:
already is used in statements after the auxiliary verb and in questions after the main verb. I have already finished. Have you finished already?
yet is used in negative sentences after a negative contracted auxiliary verb or at the end of the sentence. She hasn’t yet finished the report. She hasn’t finished the report yet.
still is used in statements and questions after the auxiliary verb or before the main verb. I am still painting the house. He still lives in Hong Kong. However, still comes before the auxiliary verb in negations. She still hasn’t finished her homework.
