Topic 16: Travelling Abroad

In the past people travelled on foot or on horseback. Nor.v tral'e]lrn-e is rapid. safe anr
pleasani. We can say that there are no really great distances on Earth. we can reach anl'Paít o
it by air in a short time. The quickest way of travelling is by aeroplane. Peopie often
travei ol
business, for pleasure, for relaxation or even for education or for their heaith. I 1ove
travellin
the money nor the tim
but I can,t afford to travel as much as I would like to. I have neither
for it.
I try to earn some extra money and travel abroad. I want to see nice Places and visit famou
towns and cities. when I intend to travel abroad, the first thing is to make my travel plan. Firs
I must decide where to go, how to get there, whether to stay rvith relatives. friends or at
hotel and how long.
,nl,e intend to spend on the journe1
Most of the decisions will depend on how much money
We may study maps and guidebooks. We should write letters and reserve a room in a hotel o
write to friends or relatives if we want to stay with them.
on the other hand, the easiest way is to turn to a travel agency and they will arrarrg
everything for us. The only thing for us to do is to fill in the forms and to collect th
documents before the journey. The travel agents can inform us of the departures of trains c
planes. too.
Whether we fly or go by train, car or coach to a foreign country. rve need to have a vali
passport and some foreign. currency which we can get at a bank or a travel agencY.
At the border, customs officials examine the luggage of out_soing anci incoming travellers
They want to see the contents of our suitcases. They rvant to knoq, if rve have anything t
deciare or not.
I think camping is an ideal way of spending a holiday for a youn_e person, It's cheaper tha
hoteis and is very romantic, Most campsites offer a lot of facilities: electricity, chaletr
restaurant, drinking water, flushing toilets, hot showers, cooking areas, parking placet
bathing and fishing facilities, sports grounds, etc. It is so excitin_q to arrive at a campsite an
put up your tent. You can enjoy absolute freedom and you are close to nature. Camping reall
provides you with a real change of air and surroundings.
You can book a hotel room and they can offer you a choice of single rooms. rooms wit
showers or private baths.
Well, i think travelling is great fun. If you can aíford it. it can become one of the mo:
interesting hobbies of all.
Questions
e Whai documents do you need if you go abroad? Where can you change money? Which is
the quickest way of travelling? Why do people travel abroad?
o V/hat is the duty of customs officials?
. How can you reserve a room in a hotei?
o What kind of rooms are usually available in a hotel?
. Have you ever stayed at a hotel? What facilities does a campsite ofter?
. Do you like going on holiday? If so, rvhere do you prefer to go?

Writing Task

Write a letter to your friend about your latest holiday. Say rvhere you trirl,elled. rvhich hotel
y,ou stayed at. rvhat famous places you visited.

"I read newspapers and magazines every day and I must say I am rather
worried about some of the things they say about how factories and cars pollute
the environment. Hardly a month goes by without some papers arguing how
dangerous human pollution is and how disastrous its effects on agriculture,
industry and lifestyles are. I would really like to know what we have to do to
prevent our atmosphere from being full of noxious gases. In my town the
factory chimneys belch smoke and the water of the river is contaminated"
(Tibor Nagy, 55, unemployed).

b, First tell your plrtner about the person's problem.

c. Look at the pictures and decide what actiott has to be taken to prevent }-our íowtl
/area from pollLltion.

childrerr want to becóme healttry adults they have to
swit-t-t, ski, ride a bicycle or go on excursions
and stay in fresh air as much as they

can. As a matter of fáct, I thúk differently. I am of the opinion
favour of computer

go*.r. They can often help children to sharpen their responses, since these games
iequire players to act and respond quickly. Furthermore, there are many
computer

ro*pu,.1. word games enable a child to expand his knowledge, often
without

Task for Candidate A.

a. Read the followíng text:

,,The year before last I went to Italy, last year I spent my holiday in France. This
,u**L, I wouldn't like to go to the seaside. To tell the truth, I am fed up with
passive holidays by the Mediterranean. The crashing waves of the sea, the straw
trmbrellas and the crowds of people sitting in the sun don't appeal to me any longer.
I,d rather have a holiday somewhere in the mountains. It would be nice to rent a
cottage, go"hiking and rock climbing, gather berries and mushrooms and in the
our own meals over an open fire" (Nancy White, 25, computer
