ABOUT TRAVELL
Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays(проводятсвоиканикулы) travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient(античный) towns, they travel to enjoy splendid(роскошный) places, or just for a change of scene. It is always interesting to discover(изучать)new things, different ways of life (образжизни), to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
Thanks to (благодаря) different type of transport we can realize(осуществлять) all this. People can travel by train, by plane, by boat, by car etc. All ways of travelling have their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their plans and destinations(цели).
But besides that (крометогочто) we need to choose a way of travel, we need to complete some more points. First of all, we need to choose the place where we want to goto rest. Travel agencies can help us with this. They have a huge choice of directions. If you have money, you can buy an expensiveticket to the Maldives or Seychelles. If you don't have much money, you may be offered cheap directions. They will also help you to buy tickets for any transport and booka hotel room. If you know exactly where you want to go, you can do without a booking office . However, you will have to book a hotel room or a bed in hostel and buy transport tickets in book offices yourself.
When you have already solved these problems, you must pack a luggage, take documents and go on a trip (отправитьсявпутешествие). But we remember to have to go through customs control. It is necessary! Customs officers must make sure (убедиться) that you are an honest person(честныйчеловек). When you have completed all these points, you can go to any place. Upon arrival, you need to check in at the hotel from 2 p.m. to 12 p.m. And that's it, now you can enjoy the beautiful view(вид) from windows of hotel, taste new foods and communicate with new people. But don't forget that you need to check out on time. Otherwise, you will not be grossly admitted! (Иначевасбольшеневпустят!) Enjoy your stay!
