Group Travel Have you ever traveled with a group? Many people buy travel packages that include flights, hotel, most meals, and local tours. These package tours are usually very well-organized, and travelers return home at ease with their experience. However, some travel agencies are not as straightforward as others. Tours are expensive and many families save all year for their yearly vacation. When there are problems with hotels, tours, or if they get sick or injured during the trip, they are very disappointed. After one of these experiences, travelers feel angry and frustrated because they dont know how to deal with the issue. This is usually due to their lack of understanding of how the tour industry works and the rules and regulations that govern it. Probably the first thing to remember is that the brochure you get from a tour operator is a marketing tool. It is intended to show the hotels and resorts in the best possible light. These brochures often dont give enough information for you to make an educated decision. Be sure to ask questions. Find out what the tour is offering and what responsibility the organizers will assume if anything happens during the tour. 1 2 3 4 5 At ease with probably means Straightforward probably means Deal with probably means Govern probably means Assume probably means a worried about a honest a argue with a administer a give b b b b b content with informed do business request take c interested in c educated c manage c make c make

XI Read the article and then answer the questions based on the article. Men and Women Fifty years ago, the male/female relationship was different. Men worked all day in factories and offices, and women dedicated themselves to the home and the family. Men were expected to be competitive and to earn a salary to support their families. Women were expected to stay home and handle all the daily problems related to the home. With the birth of feminism, this relationship has changed. Women now work outside the home and compete with men. Men are expected to help with housework and childcare. However, it isnt as simple as it seems. Women often feel they have to be superwomen. They work all day competing in a mans world and then return home and try to do the housework and care for the children. They are convinced they can do everything. Many have realized that this is impossible and some have decided to put off getting married or having children in order to have a career of their own. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the numbers of women deciding to have children when they are in their late thirties or early forties, which has led to increasing medical problems. 1 2 3 4 5 What did men do all day fifty years ago? __________________________ What did women do? __________________________ What changed this relationship? __________________________ What do women do now? __________________________ Why do women often wait to have families? __________________________
