So, if a person likes everything with all his heart, it is his home. So, they say: «Home is where the heart is.»

P

P

P

: - They like to go sightseeing.

P

11

2)Group work

T: - I agree with you. Nowadays people travel a lot. Tourism has become a very profitable business, because people are ready to spend their money for an opportunity to have great time learning more about new countries, going sightseeing, resting just enjoying life. That is why there are a lot of travel wherever they want. Do you agree with me?

P: - Working in travel agencies may sound wonderful, but it is not just a job – it is a way of life. Hundreds of travel companies are ready to help you. They will book tickets for you and make all the necessary reservations.

P: - Travel agents will arrange everything ; they will let you know which documents are required and how much local currency you will need.

P: - Travel agents are in a service industry and that often means working unsociable hours – if customers want to book holidays and fights in the evenings or at weekends.

T: - So let’s assume that you work for travel agency and divide into 3 groups. You have to provide your clients with exhaustive information about advantages and disadvantages of travelling by plane, car and on foot. Think for a minute and be ready to answer.

Group 1

P: - If you are in a hurry and want to save your time, you’d better travel by plane because it is the faster way of travelling.

P: - Travelling by air is more comfortable, convenient and much quicker than by any other means of transport. There is no dust and dirt of a railway or car journey.

P: - By plane, you can reach the place of your destination as quickly as possible.

But sometimes it is not safe.

Group 2

P: - We think that there is nothing better than to travel by car – a good, fast car we mean. When you are in a pane, you have to entrust your life to a pilot; travelling by car presupposes more experience that is personal – of course you can drive yourself.

P: - It is quite true that driving a car has some disadvantages. In town it is rather a nuisance with all those traffic jams or hold-ups, roundabouts, detours and so on.

It is not pleasant at all when you ride on a bumpy road or get a flat tyre.

P: - But can be better than a spin at weekends with your friend? You will never miss your train, ship or plane; you can make your own timetable; you can stop wherever you wish.

Group 3

P

1

: - Travelling on foot is rather safe and cheap. Besides you can enjoy fresh air, stop when and where you want and admire the beauty of nature.

P

2

: - What’s more – it’s good for health. But sometimes it’s troublesome, tiring ad even dangerous.

P

3

: - More than that, it’s not pleasant if the weather is bad or you get lost.

4) Individual work.

T: - Have you ever dreamed of travelling around the world and writing about your adventures? We are going to speak about the most visited places of the world.

The last place we visited in California was San Diego, a city with the sun, sand, the sea and all kinds of water sports. We went to the San Diego Zoo which is one of the world`s largest zoos. We also visited Mexico, which is only a short drive away from San Diego.

Finally, we went to the Hawaii, it’s paradise! We sat on golden beaches with green palm trees and watched amazing red sunsets, we also saw colorful fish at

Sea Life Park and went snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. In the evenings, we enjoyed the lively clubs, bars and ice-cream parlours. Best of all, we ate fantastic Hawaiian food while watching Hawaiian people performing traditional Polynesian dances.
