TEXT 1. Travelling.

Modern life is impossible without traveling. Millions of people all over the world travel every day either on business or for pleasure. There are a lot of means of travelling and people can travel by plane, by train, by ship, by car or on foot. And of course all means of travelling have their advantages and disadvantages. People can choose one according to their plans and destinations.

Travelling by plain is the most convenient, comfortable and the fastest means of travelling. But it has such disadvantages like airsickness and your ears hurt during the taking off and landing. And the main disadvantage is the cost of flight – it’s the most expensive means of traveling.

Travelling by train is much slower than by plain, you can see beautiful nature landscape and places of interest of the country you are traveling through. Most people prefer to travel by train because of its comfort.

Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. Of course this means of travelling is very interesting and amazing because people can enjoy the views of sea, seashore, they can breathe fresh sea air. But on ship board you can feel seasick and it’s very expensive too.

Another means of travelling is a coach tour. Coach tours are planned and you can have a chance to do a lot of sightseeing and have a good rest at the same time.

Travelling is a good thing, because it’s always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people and to try different food.

Задание 15. Прочитайте текст № 2 и задайте несколько вопросов к тексту.

Travel is extremely important nowadays. Two hundred years ago, most people never travelled further than a few km. They travelled, walked, went by carriage or on horseback. But in the last quarter of the twentieth century, people have travelled a lot. Many people travel 50 or 100 km daily by public transport or private car. Millions of people travel long distances abroad on business trips or for holidays every year. Even a housewife who is going shopping may travel twenty km.

For most people, speed is a very important factor when they are travelling. They want to reach their destination as quickly as possible. There are now planes that can cross the Atlantic in just over three hours.

Other people prefer comfort to speed. They like to relax during the journey and enjoy themselves as much as possible.

For almost everyone, safety is the most important factor. For example, many people never fly because they believe it is dangerous. In fact, it is probably much more dangerous to travel by car or to walk across a street.
