Travelling.
Modern life is impossible without travelling. It is very popular nowadays. If you travel a lot, you can learn something new about places where you travel. Travelling around our country you get information about its history and culture. When you go abroad you visit places of interest there, go to museums, meet new people and have the opportunity to speak foreign language.
There are different ways of travelling. Travelling by plane is the fastest way of travelling. You can get wherever you want very quickly. But it’s also the most expensive and sometimes it is rather dangerous.
If you travel by train it takes you more time to get where you want. Modern trains are very comfortable. You can see beautiful landscape out of the windows of the train and make new friends during the way.
A lot of people prefer travelling by car. This way of travelling has a lot of advantages. It’s not very expensive. You can make a stop when you are tired. You can visit a lot of different places. But sometimes it’s rather boring to travel by car.
Some people like to spend their holidays in the forest. They go there either by car or on foot. They put tents near lakes or rivers, go fishing and boating, gather mushrooms and berries and cook food on fire. They like to spend time outdoors and not to have many neighbors.
As for me, I like travelling very much. As a rule, my family and I travel by plane if we go far away. I’ve visited a lot of foreign countries: Turkey, Spain, Italy, France and others. I visited old churches and cathedrals, museums and exhibitions there. I also practiced my English. In summer we often go somewhere by car. We book rooms at hotels ourselves and stay some days there.
Travelling is very interesting. I’m happy that I have an opportunity to travel.
Spending holidays.
It goes without saying that holidays are the best time in a year. All children like it because they don’t have studies and don’t go to school. People who work every day like to have rest, too.
There are different ways of spending holidays. A lot of children go to the country with their parents or grandparents. Most pupils spend their holidays in sport camps if they go in for sports or to children camps. You can travel somewhere or stay in the city. You can spend holidays with friends, relatives or alone. Each way of spending holidays has advantages and disadvantages.
Nowadays travelling has become very popular. A lot of people travel around their country or abroad. You get information about places where you go, its history and culture, about their way of life, meet new people while travelling. It’s also a good way to practice foreign language. But travelling abroad is rather expensive. Not many people can afford it.
It’s boring to spend holidays at home. You stay alone, watch TV or play computer games. But if your friends are in the city too you can visit different places of interest or go for a walk. Our city is so big that there are a lot of places that are worth seeing.
Speaking about my adventure holidays I can mention our winter trip to ski resort. My family and I go in for mountain skiing. So, we always spend winter holidays at ski resorts in Finland, in Sweden or in Russia. This winter we went to Andorra. This country is situated in the Pyrenees. It was a long journey. First, we went to Finland by car. Then we flew to Barcelona by plane. We rented a car in the airport of Barcelona and went to Andorra. We lived in the comfortable apartments. We went skiing practically every day. The weather was sunny. I can say that I liked Andorra very much. It’s a very beautiful country. One more thing that makes holidays interesting is a good company. We always spend our holidays with our friends. During this trip we visited a lot of places of interest in Andorra and Spain and skied a lot.
I like holidays very much. I always have a lot of impressions after holidays.
