Тема2.12 Отдых,каникулы, отпуск. Туризм Travelling. Modern life is impossible without traveling. The scientific and technological progress of the 21century has allowed people to overcome time and distance. The whole world is open now. To begin with, most of us in big cities travel every day to our colleges, universities, offices and factories. They go by underground, they change to a bus or they take a taxi. From time to time we have to go to another city or country on business. Then after a year's work people go on holiday. Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays traveling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of scene. It is always interesting to discover different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms. People who wish to travel either for pleasure or on business have at their disposal various means of transport. If you want to get somewhere as quickly as possible, the best way is to travel by plane. It is better to book tickets in advance. On the appointed day you go to the airport by car. Soon you'll be boarding the big airliner and it will carry you to new lands. Traveling by train is slower then by plane but it has its advantages. When on the train, you can always see the country around you, so you are not simply traveling, but your holidays have already begun. Traveling by sea is mostly for those who are going on holiday and want a pleasant voyage. On board a large cruise ship people traverse oceans and visit other countries. Many people prefer traveling by car. The greatest advantage is that you can stop whenever you like and that you are not bound by any schedule. You start from your own front door and take any road you like. Coach tours are not expensive and very popular. They are planned as holidays and there is a chance to do a lot of sightseeing and have a good rest at the same time. One of the cheapest and most popular ways of traveling is hiking. Is always a great experience for a lover of nature. All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. People choose one according to their plans and destination. When traveling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home.
