curiosity — любопытство

encourage — побуждать

undertake a trip — совершить поездку

get a glimpse — ознакомиться

escape the problems — сбежать от проблем

People enjoy traveling, but what are their reasons they leave their homes?There are several of them. First comes curiosity. Films about far-off places, books and friends’ stories encourage us to undertake our own trips.

Education comes next. Learning through traveling is very popular. It does not mean only visiting museums and admiring architectural ensembles. It also means to get a glimpse of another life style. You can never get that sort of knowledge from books.

And besides, there are people who just change places. Probably they have problems at home and that is their way — rather to escape than to solve. Others look for adventures. We are all different and and have different motives for traveling.

Task. Answer the following questions.

1. Why do people travel?

2. Do you travel a lot?

3. What reason of traveling is the most important to you?

1. broaden outlook — расширять кругозор

2. understand other culture — понять другую культуру

3. an experienced traveller — опытный путешественник

4. plan everything carefully — все тщательно планировать

5. arrange the journey — организовать путешествие

6. arrange for us an accomodation — организовать проживание

7. offer a wide range of activities — предлагать широкий выбор разных видов отдыха

8. remote places — отдаленные места

9. scenic routes — живописные маршруты

I like traveling because it broadens my outlook and helps me to understand other cultures. I think that I’m already an experienced traveler. I know that if you decide to travel, you should plan everything carefully. This year I decided to go to Britain. At first I went to a travel agency that helped us to arrange our journey. They arranged for us an accommodation in a hotel and booked us a return ticket. Then we packed our luggage and arrived at the airport. We stayed in a small hotel near London. It offered us a wide range of different activities: boating and canoeing, hiking and rafting and others. I prefer cycling because I like going to remote places and I am fond of scenic routes.

Thanks to different type of transport we can realize all this. People can travel by train, by plane, by boat, by car etc. All ways of travelling have their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their plans and destinations.

But besides that we need to choose a way of travel, we need to complete some more points. First of all, we need to choose the place where we want to goto rest. Travel agencies can help us with this. They have a huge choice of directions. If you have money, you can buy an expensiveticket to the Maldives or Seychelles. If you don't have much money, you may be offered cheap directions. They will also help you to buy tickets for any transport and booka hotel room. If you know exactly where you want to go, you can do without a booking office . However, you will have to book a hotel room or a bed in hostel and buy transport tickets in book offices yourself.

When you have already solved these problems, you must pack a luggage, take documents and go on a trip. But we remember to have to go through customs control. It is necessary! Customs officers must make sure that you are an honest person. When you have completed all these points, you can go to any place. Upon arrival, you need to check in at the hotel from 2 p.m. to 12 p.m. And that's it, now you can enjoy the beautiful view from windows of hotel, taste new foods and communicate with new people. But don't forget that you need to check out on time. Otherwise, you will not be grossly admitted! Enjoy your stay!
