Revision and Consolidation
Ex. I. Choose the most suitable word in each sentence
Is it better to go on a package (1) journey / tour, or to travel on your own? I suppose the
answer depends on what kind of (2) passenger / tourist you are. A complicated tour organized by a travel (3) office / agent has some advantages. You have a / an (4) timetable /
itinerary, which gives you definite (5) departure / parting and arrival dates, and a list of all
your (6) expeditions / destinations. The (7) bedrooms / accommodation may be cheaper,
as it has been (8) preserved / booked in advance, so you spend less time worrying about
where you are going to (9) stay / live. If you book your own hotel, you might have trouble
finding (10) a / an vacant / available room, unless you are going to stay for a (11) fortnight /
daytime, for example. On the other hand, organizing your own (12) trip / package can be
fun. Many students (13) auto-stop / hitch-hike or buy cheap train tickets, and (14) have /
spend the night in student hostels or guest-houses.
Ex. II. Holiday brochures use a number of adjectives and adverbs to make places
sound more attractive. Read the following text and decide where you could insert
the words below to give a more positive effect.

Two hours of Geneva, Champery is situated at the top of the mountain, close to the
