2 A) Read the texts about tourists and travellers. Check the meaning
of the words in bold.
Tourists… are not so
interested in new
experiences and
sensations. When
they go
abroad,
they either go
sightseeing
to see famous landmarks
like St Mark’s Square in Venice, or to sandy
beaches where
they do nothing but sunbathe. Many tourists prefer package
holidays, which include travel, accommodation, and sometimes even
food. Tourists just want to
have fun and relax.
Travellers...
go to the cultural
and historical
capitals,
just like tourists. However, travellers also explore tropical
rainforests,
barren
deserts
and other places where tourists never go. Travellers try to
experience the local
culture
and meet the local people. They prefer independent
travel
to package tours and hope to experience an
unforgettable journey.
b) Complete the sentences for you.
1 I prefer independent travel/ package holiday because …
2 I’d rather spend a week on a sandy beach/ in a historical capital/ in the tropical rainforest because …
3 when I’m on holiday I want to have an unforgettable journey/ have fun and relax because …

The Least Successful Day Trip
Few people have packed more into a day trip than Michael and Lillian Long from Kent who took the ferry from their home in England to Boulogne in France in 1987. On Easter Sunday this adventurous couple went for a short walk around the town. In no time they were spectacularly lost and showing all the qualities of born explorers.
‘We walked and walked,’ Mrs. Long recalled, ‘and the further we walked to try to get back, the further we walked away from Boulougne.’
Unable to speak French, they felt embarrassed about asking the way, so they walked throughout the night until finally the next morning a driver gave them a lift to a small village they did not recognize. Here they caught a train to the wrong destination – Paris. In the French capital they spent all their remaining money on catching what they thought was the express train back to Boulogne. After an enjoyable trip they arrived in Luxembourg at midnight on Monday.
Two hours later police put them on the train back to Paris, but it divided and their half ended up in Basle, an attractive medieval town in the north of Switzerland.
Having no money, they tried to find work, but without success. The railway company offered them a free ticket back to Belfort, thinking that this was where they had come from. Once they got off the train, our heroes hiked forty-two miles to Vesoul, hitched a lift to Paris and then nearly boarded the train to Bonn in Germany.
Diverted just in time to the right platform, they finally reached Boulogne a week after they have set out on their walk. They had covered a distance of almost 1700 km without luggage, maps or any idea of where they were. When he arrived at Dover harbour, Mr Long said it was the first time they had travelled abroad and that they would not be leaving England again.

GRAMMAR EXTRA
Passive Voice
В английском языке, как и в русском, существует два залога: действительный (Active Voice) и страдательный (Passive Voice). Глагол-сказуемое в Active Voice показывает, что подлежащее предложения само совершает действие, выраженное глаголом: I ask. (Я спрашиваю). Глагол-сказуемое в Passive Voice показывает, что подлежащее предложения является объектом действия, выраженного глаголом: I am asked. (Меня спрашивают).
Формы глагола в страдательном залоге образуются с помощью вспомогательного to be в соответствующем времени и Participle II смыслового глагола.

Conditionals (Условные предложения)
В английском языке придаточные предложения условия соединяются с главным при помощи союзов:
if – если
If we finish our work in time we will go to our friends. (Если мы кончим работу вовремя, мы пойдем к нашим друзьям.)
Unless – если … не
We will be late for the lesson unless we hurry. (Мы опоздаем на урок, если не поспешим.)
Придаточные условные предложения 1 типа чаще всего выражают реальные условия выполнения действия в будущем времени. При этом глагол – сказуемое придаточного предложения употребляется в Present Simple, а главного – в Future Simple:
