In the second paragraph, we state the names of the best shops, where they are and what we can buy there.
In the third paragraph, we state the opening hours and the sales times.
In the last paragraph, we recommend the place to shoppers. We normally use the present simple in such articles. We give the article an interesting title to attract the reader’s attention.

Additional information for the traveler
1. a) Read the article.
b) Which sentence is the best summary?
1. British and American English are almost exactly the same.
2. The most important difference between British and American English
is the vocabulary.
3. Travellers don’t have problems understanding British and American
English.
American and British English
If you’ve learnt British English and you’re travelling in the States, or if you’ve learnt American English and you’re travelling in Britain, you’ll notice some
differences. An obvious difference is the accent, but most travellers find that they
don’t have too many problems with this. There are some grammatical differences, but they shouldn’t make it difficult to understand people, or to communicate. That leaves
differences in vocabulary, which can cause misunderstandings. Sometimes the difference is only the spelling, for example, in British English centre, colour, and travelled, in American English center, color, and traveled. But sometimes the word is
completely different in British and American English, and it’s a good idea to be
prepared.
2. CAN you match the British and American words?
1 bill ( k ) 2 chips ( ) 3 ground floor ( ) 4 holiday ( ) 5 lift ( ) 6 motorway ( ) 7 nappies ( ) 8 petrol ( ) 9 post ( ) 10 postcode ( ) 11 queue ( ) 12 return ticket ( ) 13 single ticket ( ) 14 taxi ( )

SUPPLEMENTARY READING (TRAVELLING)
1. a) Read the article.
The Road to Katmandu
Susan and Jeremy, with another boy and a girl, are planning a trip next month to the Middle East, India and Nepal. They are going to travel overland, taking buses and hitch-hiking. They will find cheap lodgings wherever they can, and if necessary they will sleep under the stars. They will have very little money. Sir Eric is worried.
“I don’t like to think of Susan and other girl going all that way with two
inexperienced boys. How will they manage if anything goes wrong?” he said Hester.
“I’d willingly help to pay for the trip if they’d agree to sleep in decent hotels.”
“You know she won’t accept any money from you,” said Hester. “Besides, the
road to Katmandu is pretty well-worn these days. They’ll meet plenty of other young people doing the same trip.”
The longing to get off the beaten track – away from western civilization – is strong among many young people. Before going up to university and during university holidays, many British students drive, trek and fly into the far corners of Africa and Asia.
decent - приличный, подходящий; well-worn – (зд.) хорошо изученный; longing - страстное желание; beaten track - избитый, хорошо известный путь; trek – путешествие.
b) Read the following words and ideas about hitch-hiking. Put them into two groups: for and against.
the parents are worried; away from civilization; meeting with other young people; little money; inexperienced boys; well-worn road; cheap lodging; if something goes wrong; get off the beaten tracks.
FOR
AGAINST
Add some ideas of your own, as well.
c) Read these sentences. Think what words might fit into the gaps. Choose words from underneath to complete the sentences.
1. I admire people who can travel…. , taking buses and…..
2. Sorry to say I am so …. in travelling.
60
3. I usually pay for the…. beforehand, stay in ….. hotels.
4. I’ve never liked the ideas of …. under the stars.
5. Though the road to the mountains is ….. my parents …..about my trip there.
decent hitch-hiking are worried trip
sleeping well-worn overland inexperienced
d) Look through the Text again and discuss with your partner the pros and cons of hitch-hiking, using phrases;
• On the one hand….. On the other hand….
• A further (negative/positive) aspect of this is….
• In my opinion/view,….. To my mind
• In addition to this…..
2. Read the article and compare underlined words with their synonyms:
* relaxed * tourists * centre * food *small *often * places * the art and science of designing and making buildings * entertainment and social activities which happen in the evening in bars and nightclubs * what you can see from a particular place*
Visit Malta
Malta is a tiny island in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. It has a wonderful climate with sunny days for most of the year. Because of its great weather, lots of sightseers visit the island in the summer. They can make the most of the beaches and water sports that are available. Malta also has a rich history which is reflected in the many historical spots and places of interest. For example, Malta has some of the oldest stone temples in the world. The Maltese way of life is laid-back and the people are friendly. Malta has its own unique cuisine – you should definitely try out some of the local dishes when you visit. As Malta is so small, it is very simple to travel around and the island has cheap and regular bus service. There are plenty of traditional, little villages to explore and must visit the historical towns like Valletta and Mdina, where you can enjoy the beautiful architecture. Malta has it! For such a small country there certainly is a lot packed* into it. And my favourite thing to! Having some chocolate cake and coffee while you enjoy the sweeping* views of the island from Fontanella restaurant in Mdina.
• packed – переполненный
• sweeping – беглый, обзорный
