Слайд 1 Modern life is impossible without travelling

Why
people travel?
Слайд 2People began to travel ages ago. The very first travellers
were explorers who went on trips to find wealth, fame
or something else. Their journeys were very dangerous but still people keep on going to the unknown lands.
Слайд 3If we are fond of travelling we see and learn
all sorts of things we can never see or learn
at home. Though we may read about them in books and newspapers and see pictures of them at cinema. The best way to study geography is to travel and the best way to get to know and understand the people is to meet them in their own houses.
Слайд 4 Thousands of people travel every day either on
business or for pleasure. They can travel by air, by
rail, by sea or by road.
Of course, travelling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive too.
Слайд 5It is not surprising that millions of people all over
the world spend their holidays travelling. It broadens our impressions,
gives a possibility to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, and of course, travelling by itself is a good rest.
Слайд 6People on our planet can not live without travelling now.
Tourism has become a highly developed business. There are express
trains, cars and jet-air liners all of that provide you with comfort and security. What choice to make? It’s up to you to decide. There is a great variety of choice available for you.
Слайд 7There is a tendency that people living in the country
prefer to visit big cities and enjoy there museums, art
galleries, theatres, shops.
Слайд 8But city dwellers tend to have a quiet holiday by
the sea, in the village, or in the mountains. All
they want to do is to bathe, to lie in the sun, to breathe fresh air and just relax.
Слайд 9Travelling by sea is very popular. Large ships and small
river boats can visit foreign countries and different places of
interest within their own country.
Слайд 10Nowadays travelling is not as dangerous and much more convenient.
Do you want to go somewhere? Hundreds of companies are
there to help you.
Слайд 11They will take care about your tickets and make all
the reservations needed. You don’t speak the language of country
you go to? There are interpreters that will help you.
Слайд 12With modern services you can go around the world. You
can choose the means of transport you like: plane, train,
ship, bicycle or you can travel hiking.
Tourism became a very profitable business because people are ready to spend their money for the great opportunity to have a great time learning about new countries, going sightseeing, resting and enjoying themselves.
Слайд 13If we want to see countryside we have to spend
a part of our summer holidays on hikes. During such
hikes we see a lot interesting places, sometimes we meet interesting people. It’s useful for members of our family. We take our rucksacks and don’t think about tickets .
Слайд 14If you travel for pleasure you would like all means
to enjoy picturesque areas you are passing through, you would
like to see the places of interest in the cities, towns and countries.
Слайд 15Travelling gives us a good opportunity to see wonderful monuments,
cultural and historical places, to learn a lot about history
of the country you visit, about the world around us, to meet people of different nationalities, to learn a lot about their traditions, customs, culture. In other worlds, you will broaden your mind.
