Подготовиться к контрольной по говорению (выучить 5 предложений из текста про путешествие) и письму (написать текст по пунктам, записанным в тетради) текст: I’m going to give a talk about travelling.
It’s true that most people enjoy travelling a lot. They are interested in travelling because it’s a good chance to discover new places and find out about people who live far away. If we are talking about travelling abroad, it’s the best opportunity to study customs and cultures of different countries.
While travelling people often go sightseeing and take pictures of the most famous places all over the world. I mean real symbols of the cities like Eiffel tower in Paris. Many people love trying national cuisine and they visit a lot of local cafes and restaurants. Some people are interested in such cultural places like museums and cathedrals. Tastes are different.
As for me I would like to visit the USA or the UK. I’m studying English and I’m sure that a trip there will help me to improve my English a lot. Also I want to see by myself all these beautiful places which I was reading in my course books about.
I am a big fan of travelling so, of course, my attitude to it is very positive.
I think that’s all that I wanted to tell you about travelling.
