Сегодня больше британцев проводят отпуска за границей, чем в 1990-х годах. Традиционный отдых за границей проводится на морском курорте, и многие британцы предпочитают отправляться в отпуск в более теплые страны. Туры в Грецию, Испанию или Турцию по-прежнему любимые места для большинства британских туристов за рубежом. Поездки в США и Австралию также привлекают множество туристов.
Сегодня в моде брать 2 отпуска в году. Первый отпуск - это спокойный отдых, а второй - приключенческий отдых, например, восхождение или зимние виды спорта где-то в Австрии или Швейцарии. Если вы спросите британских отдыхающих почему они уезжают за границу, они часто говорят о ненадежной британской погоде, различных достопримечательностях и прекрасных курортах в качестве основных причин.

Once sitting in the garden with my grandmother I’ve noticed that we’re surrounded by hundreds of shades of green – the grass, the leaves of the trees, even the water in the pool – the shades of green were all around. They say that seen from space our planet is blue, but I see it green. The green in plants and water produce the oxygen we breathe. The green feeds almost 90 percent of the living creatures on Earth. The green in the end turns into soil, and the cycle of green life starts again.
We all depend on the green, and that should have made us extremely caring about it. But in reality, is the maintenance of the planet green – our priority? No, the priority of humanity today lies mostly in consumption. But even if we knew how to produce goods from the air, what would be the source of the air? The green. People cut down forests, contaminate oceans and atmosphere and give away the essence of human existence – water and the green – for the sake of expanding production, overestimated consumption and money making.
Pollution of the environment will cost humanity a lot. We have already harmed the planet, and go on exhausting its resources. We all maintain our homes, because they keep us warm and safe, but if a house falls in ruins we stay on the surface, surrounded by green. What shall we do when the planet falls in ruins?
And when we disappear, the green planet will start different, but new circle.
P.S. The green - существительное = зелень.
