READING
Assignment 3
Read and translate the article. Write out new words and word-combinations.
Why, when and how do people travel?
People travel on business or for pleasure. Usually they travel when they are on holiday. When people wish to become tourists, they go to a travel agency and buy a tour of some country from a travel agent. They may travel by air, by train, by boat, by coach or by car. Young people may travel by bicycle or go hitch- hiking. Before booking your foreign holiday make sure you have an insurance policy. When you are abroad you should have some currency on you. All goods must be paid for in foreign currency only. The visa is the most essential thing. You can’t enter the country without it. When tourists arrive at the place of their destination they stay in hotels or motels, guesthouses or B&Bs. When in a big historical city tourists buy and study maps and tour guides of the city.
Today people have lots of good reasons to travel. Travelling has always been a part of people’s education. The best way to study geography is to travel and the best way to get to know the traditions and customs of different peoples is to speak to them. Besides, travelling is a good way to practise foreign languages.
It’s always interesting to discover new places and new ways of life, to try foreign food and to listen to unusual music. It's much better than sitting at home and doing nothing. When on a holiday tourists enjoy sunbathing, scuba diving, swimming, windsurfing, rafting, hiking, climbing the mountains, shopping, buying souvenirs, going sightseeing, going on excursions, taking pictures, visiting museums and picture galleries, going to theatres, cinemas, discoes and so on.
As for me, I’m fond of travelling. It’s both my hobby and favourite pastime.

The Nightmare of Packing
- We must be off in ten minutes. Have you packed everything?
- As good as … I need a couple of minutes to make sure that I haven’t forgotten anything.
- OK. And whose bags are these? These huge ones. Do you mean these are yours? Are you going on a students’ archaeological expedition in Greece with all this stuff?
- Don’t be silly. It’s me who’s leaving. Doesn’t that mean that the luggage is mine? I’ve packed the most essential things.
- Essential things? let’s see … What’s in here? An iron, a portable TV set, a dozen different lotions and shampoos, three pairs of high heels, lots of dresses…. And why have you packed two umbrellas, may I ask? In case it rains twice?
- In case one gets broken or something. Don’t make me nervous before the flight, will you?
- All right, take everything you want if you feel happier with all these useless things. And, by the way, where is your ticket, passport, and insurance?
- Oh, gosh! I’ve nearly forgotten them! Thank you. Sometimes you can be very helpful.
WRITING
2. Read the postcard as an example. Write your own one using instructions:
Write the name and address of the person you’re writing to.
ü Put the date at the top. (You can leave this out).
ü Write Dear and the name of the person you’re writing to.
ü Write you message. Use short forms (I’ll, it’s, we’re) and short sentences.
ü Finish with a friendly phrase: Wish you were here! See you soon, (Lot’s of) Love, (to family members and close friends), Best wishes.
ü Sign your name. First name is usually enough.
| 23rd July Dear David, I’m having a fantastic time in New York! The weather’s great. Lots of sunny days and no rain. Our hotel’s quite comfortable, too. We’ve already visited the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in Harlem, you know... It’s beautiful! Tomorrow we’re planning to go to SOHO, an enclave of artists, and Greenwich Village. I’m really enjoying myself! Wish you were here! Lot’s of love, Ruth. | David Hughes_____ 34 Carlton Court___ Mayfield Road______ Bristol B56 3 QA___ UK_______________ |
SUPPLEMENT
Study the following important information before booking your holiday.
1. You should have an insurance policy. You may fall ill during your travels and visiting a doctor or staying in hospital costs a lot of money. If you have insurance, your insurance company pays for you.
2. When you are abroad, you usually can’t buy anything with money from your own country. All goods must be paid for in foreign currency only. If you want to buy something, you should have some currency on you.
3. If you don’t want to get into trouble, make sure you have a label on your luggage. At the airport, your bag can be lost or confused with somebody’s luggage. A label with your contacts can help you get it back.
4. A visa is the most essential thing. You can’t enter the country without it. You shouldn’t stayin the country longer than your visa allows; otherwise, you can run into problems with the police.
