food, culture, and history. Such festivals are held all over the world, including in Japan, as gestures of goodwill and friendship.
Naturally, a cherry blossom festival centers around the exquisite pale
pink blooms of Prunus yedoensis, the Yoshino cherry tree. The Yoshino
cherry, called sakura in Japanese, is an ornamental tree cultivated for its
blooms and does not produce fruit. Thousands of years of Japanese tradition celebrate the cherry, which is featured prominently in Japanese art
and culture. Many Japanese enjoy the annual tradition of blossom viewing
parties, which often include trips into the countryside to picnic under the
cherry trees. Most blossom viewing parties also include art and poetry,
with guests composing short poems or brush paintings to celebrate the
experience.
Attendees wander through orchards of cherry trees to enjoy the beautiful view. Japanese ornamental gardens often feature a variety of other
beautiful owering plants along with sh ponds and decorative structures.
Most festivals also feature a street fair, where visitors can purchase Japanese art, crafts, and food. They often celebrate Japanese culture with artistic performances, such as traditional Japanese dancing and plays, as well.
Exercise 9. Find the information about interesting festivals in different parts of the world that you have been, taken part or heard and make a
presentation.

Exercise. 2. Read the text about different types of travelling and match
paragraphs with the pictures:
Air travel is a fast way of travelling both for domestic and international
journeys. Some airline companies operate scheduled ights, when takeoff and landing are at major airports in major cities. Because departure and
arrival times are regular and guaranteed tickets can be expensive. Alterna-
tively, there are cheap charter ights when a travel company buys all the
seats on a plane and sells at a discounted price. Charter airlines and lowcost scheduled airlines often operate from more accessible local airports
and y direct to holiday resorts, particularly in peak season. You usually
need to buy tickets in advance. It is also possible to buy round the world
tickets where you stop off at different global destinations. There is a limit
to how much luggage passengers can carry and it takes time to check-in
for ights due to security checks. Nowadays many people try to avoid tak-
ing too many ights because they aren’t good for the environment.
Sea travel can be a clean alternative to air travel. Ferries operate from
one mainland destination to another, or between islands, departing and
arriving at major ports. You can often take your car on ferries and there
are no limits on the luggage you can carry. Journeys are long compared
to ights and they can be quite expensive, especially if you sleep in a
43
cabin overnight. You can buy tickets directly from the ferry companies
or through tour operators, usually in advance. You can also take a luxury
cruise, but they are generally quite expensive, all-inclusive packages.
Rail travel also has a low environmental impact and is a very exible
and convenient mode of transport because you can buy tickets in advance
or just turn up at the station. Price varies a lot according to distance and
destination. Luggage allowance is limited on trains, but on long distance
trips you can book a bed to sleep in, called a berth. There are also young
person’s rail passes for travelling around Europe and many countries have
cheap or subsidised rail travel.
Road travel can be by car or by coach, but neither is very environmen-
tally friendly. Car travel is very convenient because you can choose your
own departure and arrival points and times, and take as much luggage
as your vehicle can carry. The cost is generally low apart from fuel and
any tolls, but travel time can be long. Alternatively you can arrive at your
destination and hire a car on arrival, but this can be expensive. Coaches,
like trains, follow timetables and you need to buy tickets in advance to be
sure of a seat. Journeys can be slow and arrival times are unpredictable
because of trafc. They are however cheap and convenient, with stops at
both major and minor destinations.

Unit 12. ECOTOURISM

Exercise 2. Read the text and say what people do to preserve the en-
vironment:
Tourism can be a good thing or a bad thing for local people and the
environment. It depends how responsible companies and individual tourists want to be.
Large numbers of tourists visiting villages and forests can damage the
environment in many ways. Paths get destroyed, trees are cut down to provide wood for building or fuel, people leave rubbish, and the extra noise
frightens local wildlife. Local people may start to work in the tourist industry, but not be paid fair wages. Also, a lot of money from tourism goes
to companies outside the area, so it does not help local people.
However, money from ecotourism can help to protect areas where animals and plants are in danger. It can pay for nature conservation programmes, and the planting of trees.
Ecotourism can help the economic development of local communities without damaging their traditional lifestyles. Simple ways to do this
include using locally-owned hotels and restaurants and employing local
people as guides or advisers.
In many parts of the world, there are local projects to encourage ecotourism.

National parks and nature reserves in Costa Rica offer nature-based
tours that are aimed at preserving the natural habitat and the local wildlife,
including some endangered species.
In northern Australia, cultural tours of aboriginal lands are very popular. This means more employment for the local inhabitants and a better
understanding of their traditions.
In Nepal, some trekking companies give large amounts of money to
community projects, such as building schools, buying the technology to
use solar energy instead of wood for heating, and providing fresh water
in villages.

is so important.
Africa is the second largest continent on the planet covering roughly 20
percent of the Earth’s land surface. When you think of Africa you think of
wild animals. Africa contains some of the world’s most dense, populations
of wildlife and the greatest number of mega fauna species of any continent
on our planet.
Africa is the second most populated continent on Earth. With nearly
15 percent of the world’s human population living in Africa, it has a rich
diversity of cultures and languages also making it a fascinating place to
visit.
