Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст:
People travel on business or for pleasure. Thousands of people spend their holidays traveling. There are many ways of traveling: traveling by air, sea, train, car. Traveling is very interesting and useful because you get to know our beautiful nature and people. You always enjoy picturesque places, monuments of history and culture.
Most people travel by train. Trains take a lot of passengers, they are comfortable and quick enough for most people. You must book a ticket beforehand in the booking office, look at the schedule to learn the time of the departure, pack your things and arrive at the railway station. The conductor will show you to your compartment. When the train starts you can take your berth and watch everything through the window.
Many people prefer traveling by air as it is the most convenient, comfortable, quickest means of traveling. There is no dust or dirt of the railway or car journey. You must book the ticket in the booking office beforehand and register at the airport. Your luggage is weighted. You can have 20 kilograms of luggage free of charge. Before the plane takes off the stewardess gives all the information about the flight, the speed and the altitude. But some people get air-sick.
If you want to get the most delightful impressions on holidays, you can travel by sea or river. You book your passage on board a modern liner. These liners are real floating cities with all modern conveniences and a wide choice of sport and entertainment facilities. Every modern liner has a number of decks. Passengers occupy cabins. A cabin looks like a compartment of a railroad sleeping car, but the windows are round and are called portholes. You needn’t worry about your meals on board the liner. If you are not sea-sick the voyage will give you many moments of joy. But this is the most expensive way of traveling.
If you travel by car you can start and stop when and where you like. Many people travel by car and rest at campings near a lake or a sea.
As for me I prefer traveling on foot. Fresh air does people a lot of good. You can go to the places where no ship, no car, no train can get. You can climb a mountain and walk in a forest, you can enjoy the beauty of nature, a pleasant company of friends. The only disadvantage is your heavy rucksack.
