Chewing gum is usually associated with some thoughtless automatic process. Television has recently become like a chewing gum too. For many years it has been considered the main source of information. But in recent years it has turned out in some endless entertainment full of silly commercials and stupid soap operas. Very often people can’t tell one film from another, or one TV show from another because they are so much alike. For some people watching TV turned into the constant switching of the channels. They fail to find what they like so they prefer to watch a little bit of everything which leads to total absence of any integral or useful information. It is very hard to get a full picture of a film when every five minutes it is interrupted by commercials. Permanent blinking of bright colours and a rapid change of images make people lose the sense of what is shown. In the end they just passively watch the programmes as if they were chewing a gum. And when a programme becomes too boring, they just switch to another channel. And the next day people just take a new fresh chewing gum and chew it till it becomes tasteless and then they spit it out ruthlessly. Don’t you think watching TV is the same?
People 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.
Nowadays it is not as dangerous and much more convenient. Do you want to go somewhere? Hundreds of companies are there to help you. They will take care about your tickets and make all the reservations needed.
You don't speak the language of the country you go to? There are interpreters that will help you.
With 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.
