1. Прочитайте текст, переведите и подготовьте устную тему “Travelling”

Travelling is necessary to us all. It keeps us from growing stale and old by giving us that movement and change, which are necessary to our life. Every child spends a large proportion of its time in a dream about trees, or the sea, or central Africa, or some other subject.

One of the objects of travel is to go in search of beauty. The beauty-spots of the world are magnets drawing travellers year after year. More valuable to the traveller is the knowledge, which he gets from other people. It is a stay-at-home who is always ready to call someone else "queer" because his ways are different. The more a person has sympathy with all sorts of ways, the easier it is for him to understand another point of view. The other motivation factors for travelling are leisure, business, health, congresses and other meetings, study and religion.

Many people plan to go on a two-day trip for the weekend. When young people are away from home, they may go home to stay with some relatives or friends. Some people prefer to go to the seaside by car, as it is very comfortable and rather cheap. Some people like to travel by plane, by train or by ship.

Today, travel agents offer all kinds of holidays to all types of people, as nearly everybody can afford some sort of holiday. Travel agents windows are full of ads (advertisements), especially during the summer months. Active pursuits are water sports, rock climbing, and excursions by bike, horse riding or simply walking to faraway places. Travel agents think that their customers consist of certain types of people. For each type, they try to offer the "right" price in the "right" country. All this must be planned very carefully. So, while most people are still busy buying Christmas presents, the travel agents have already decided where their customers will be going next summer, what kind of things they will be doing there and how much money they will be spending on their holidays.

A package holiday is a holiday, which is arranged by a company at a fixed price, which includes travel, hotels, and meals. It is very popular. In many countries if you go to a travel agent you can buy a "last minute" package or package holidays that someone has cancelled for up to 50% less than the original cost.

In spite of the many advantages which travel agents can offer, there are still quite a few people who "go it alone", choosing their own destination and booking their tickets and accommodation themselves.

Travel agencies started long ago. Thomas Cook was one of the first travel agents. He started to organize excursions by train in the middle of the last century. Later on, he also organized excursions from England to the European continent. The first tour in the modern sense was put together by Thomas Cook in England, in 1841, and the firm of Thomas Cook and Sons has remained one of the famous names in the tourist industry.

Sometimes the agents are right (people will be doing exactly what the travel agents have planned for them) but sometimes they are wrong. All this makes their business rather risky, because if they make mistakes, they can lose a lot of money.

To keep smb. of us from growing stale and old – не давать «застаиваться» и

стареть

Queer странный, чудаковатый

Go it alone - идти своим путём

To put together организовывать
