an old town that tourists like to visit during the day. In the evening it s the main area for nightlife, and the 2_______ go to the restaurants and bars as well as tourists.

As you move away from the centre, 3______ prices get cheaper. The problem

 

Макарова

is that if you live on the outskirts and work in the centre you have to think about

your daily 4______ . Public transport is very 5______ and there a lot of stress, but

what alternative is there? If you take your car into the centre, you get 6

in

traffic, and then when you arrive there s nowhere to park.

 

 

I don t have a family yet and most of the time I just work. But at the

weekends I do get a chance to enjoy city life. There s a lot of 7

on offer

cinemas, theatres, galleries, live music, comedy clubs, just about everything you

 

.О

 

can think of.

.

 

Of course city life has its downside as well. Everyone s in a 8______ and no

one stops to talk. There s no real sense of 9______ . I have friends, but they live all

 

 

 

 

адмирала

 

over the city and I know very few people from myСlocal area. If you don t know

 

people, it can be a very 10______ life.

 

 

 

 

But in general I think I m a city person. There are more job 11______ here

 

than in a small town, and salaries are higher.

You can book a flight either over the Internet or through a travel agency. Your

ticket can be singe / one-way or return / round trip. It s a good idea to check-in in advance, as it increases the chance that you get a good seat. Your seat may be window, middle or aisle.

A Flight

At the check-in counter you get your boarding pass. Now follow the signs for Departures and prepare for the security check. You may have to queue (AmE

34

stand in line) for a little while, then you remove your belt and shoes, put your keys and laptop in a tray, and do through the scanner.

Now you re in the departure lounge. You can get some currency, use your laptop, or just walk around and do some shopping. Keep checking the information screens to see the status of your flight. It might be delayed (= late). Soon you see the words you are waiting for: Now boarding at Gate 14. You walk to the gate and board (= get into) the plane. Please don t wait until the final call (last announcement). Find your seat and put your luggage in the overhead locker. Just before you take off (= leave the ground) the flight attendants / cabin crew will give a safety

 

 

demonstration.

 

 

 

Макарова

F.What differences are there between business tourism and ordinary tourism?

C.Well, let me ask you a question. Have you ever visited the same place on business, and for pleasure?

ГУМРФ

F.

Actually yes. I ve visited Venice twice.

C.

OK. Now tell me, where did you stay each time?

F.The first time was for work. We stayed in a beautiful hotel with a view of the Grand Canal. It was a pity though, that there wasn t much time for sightseeing. The next time I was with my family for holiday. We took a cheap flight and stayed in a reasonable three star hotel and the meals were included.

37

C.Exactly! The budgets are different. On business, people stay in expensive hotels they couldn t pay for themselves. The average business person attending a conference in London spends three times as much as an ordinary tourist on holiday.
