Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places, or just for a change of scene. It's always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants. City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun.
Most travellers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them - the sights of a city, old churches and castles, views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests; different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds. Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had.
People travel by train, by plane, by boat and by car. All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their plans and destinations.
If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see pictures of them on TV. The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes.

A World Guide to Good manners. How not to behave badly abroad
Travelling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village, but how well do we know and understand each other? Here is a simple test. Imagine you have arranged a meeting at four o'clock. What time should you expect your foreign business colleagues to arrive? If they're German, they'll be bang on time. If they're American, they'll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are British, they'll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.
When the European Community began to increase in size, several guidebooks appeared giving advice on international etiquette. At first many people thought this was a joke, especially the British, who seemed to assume that the widespread understanding of their language meant a corresponding understanding of English customs. Very soon they had to change their ideas, as they realized that they had a lot to learn about how to behave with their foreign business friends.
The British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal; the Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time to relax and get to know one another, and they rarely drink at lunchtime.
The Germans like to talk business before dinner; the French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.
Taking off your jacket and rolling up your sleeves is a sign of getting down to work in Britain and Holland, but in Germany people regard it as taking it easy.
American executives sometimes signal their feeling of ease and importance in their offices by putting their feet on the desk whilst on the telephone. In Japan, people would be shocked. Showing the soles of your feet is the height of bad manners. It is a social insult only exceeded by blowing your nose in public.
The Japanese have perhaps the strictest rules of social and business behaviour. Seniority is very important, and a younger man should never be sent to complete a business deal with an older Japanese man. The Japanese business card almost needs a rulebook of its own. You must exchange business cards immediately on meeting because it is essential to establish everyone's status and position. When it is handed to a person in a superior position, it must be given and received with both hands, and you must take time to read it carefully, and not just put it in your pocket! Also a bow is a very important part of greeting someone. You should not expect Japanese to shake hands. Bowing the head is a mark of respect and the first bow of the day should be lower than when you meet thereafter.
The Americans sometimes find it difficult to accept the more formal Japanese manners. They prefer to be casual and more informal, as illustrated by the universal "Have a nice day!' American waiters have a one-word imperative 'Enjoy!'
The British, of course, are cool and reserved. The great topic of conversation.between strangers in Britain is the weather - unemotional and impersonal.
In America, the main topic between strangers is the search to find a geographical link. “Oh, really? You live in Ohio? I had an uncle who once worked there.”
“When in Rome do as the Romans do”. Here are some final tips for travelers.
In France you shouldn't sit down in a cafe until you've shaken hands with everyone you know.
In Afghanistan you should spend at least five minutes saying hello.
In Pakistan you mustn't wink. It is offensive.
In the Middle East you must never use the left hand for greeting, eating, drinking, or smoking. Also, you should take care not to admire anything in your hosts' home. They will feel that have to give it to you.
In Thailand you should clasp your hands together and lower you head and your eyes when you greet someone.
Test youself. Choose the correct answer.
Which nationality is the most punctual?

Which nationality is the least punctual?

Because a lot of guidebooks appeared giving advice on international etiquette.
Because they believed that people acquire the knowledge of British customs together with the English language.
Which nationality likes to eat and do business at the same time?
The Japanese
The British
The Germans
The French
Why would the Japanese be shocked if somebody put his feet on the desk?
Because they would consider it the ignorance of their habits.
Because they would never expect such a thing to happen.
Because they would consider the person crazy.
Because they would think that the person is extremely ill-bred.
Why is it necessary to exchange business cards when you meet the Japanese?
They must know how to behave with you.
They don't shake hands.
It is essential for them to know your age.
It is an ancient custom.
Why do the Americans find it difficult to accept Japanese manners?
They find the Japanese customs senseless.
They consider the Japanese old fashioned.
They prefer not to be so formal.
They think it is difficult to complete a business deal with people in Japan.
Why is it not a good idea to say that you like your Egyptian friend's vase?
He may feel shocked by your emotional speech.
He may dislike it.
He may feel that he has to present it to you.
He may be embarrassed.
What is the main topic of conversation between strangers in America?
The weather.
Politics.
Latest news.
Familiar places.
In what country do people have no special rules of behaviour about hands?
Thailand.
Japan.

Travel Wisely, Travel Well
Traveling businessman
A businessman who travels all over the world gives a little advice on "wise travelling". I have learned, often the hard way, that there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure times. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10.50. I walked calmly to the departure desk, thinking I still had a little time to spare. I hadn't bothered to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10.15 and the flight was, according to international regulations, "now closed". I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be absolutely essential if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and, since I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead."Listen,
buddy! I only take real money!" the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave, specially, if you can take only a little luggage with you. I feel sorry for same of my colleagues for travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is fairy cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome, or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. Few people understand just how important it is to have the right sort of clothes with you in these days of rapid air travel.

Good advice for travellers
Look at the recommendations which we give a person who is going abroad for the first time.
Luggage consisting of 3 suitcases.
Luggage. Avoid packing too much luggage in order not to carry around many things you will never use. Only take what is really essential. Make a list of everything you pack for checking your things every time you repack on the journey.
Travel Information. Read a good travel book for finding out the most interesting places to visit, best way to travel.
These cities are worth visiting.
Local Customs. Find out as much as you can about the local customs of the country you suggest visiting in order not to offend people there.
Language. Learn some basic languages so that you can communicate with the people of the country you are going to visit. Don't forget to use expressions like: "Hello", '"Goodbye", "Yes", "No", "Please", "Thank you", "You're welcome", "I'd
like" and so on.
A medical kit.
Health. Take along a basic medical kit in case you become ill. Include in it essential medicines, such as antibiotics, pain killers, and something for insect bites and stomach complaints. Remember also to take a supply of bandages and plasters.
X. Try to find the gerund in the text “Good advice for travelers”.
Pay attention to the notes.
In English grammar, the gerund is a non-finite verb form used to make a verb phrase that can serve in place of a noun phrase.
The English gerund ends in -ing (as in I enjoy playing football); the same verb form also serves as the English present participle (which has an adjectival or adverbial function), and as a pure verbal noun.
A gerund behaves as a verb within a clause (so that it may be modified
by an adverb or have an object); but the resulting clause as a whole functions as a noun within the larger sentence.
Examples of use
The following sentences illustrate some uses of gerund clauses, showing how such a clause serves as a noun within the larger sentence.
In some cases the clause consists ofjust the gerund Swimming is fun. (gerund as subject of the sentence)
I like swimming. (gerund as direct object)
I never gave swimming all that much effort. (gerund as indirect object)
Eating biscuits in front of the television is one way to relax. (gerund clause as subject)
Do you fancy going out? (gerund clause as direct object)
On being elected president, he moved with his family to the capital. (gerund clause as complement of a preposition)

COUPLE WHO SURVIVED AN AMAZING 66 DAYS AT SEA
Bill and Simone Butler.
A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty six days in a life-raft in the seas of Central America after their yacht sank. They survived in very good condition. Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their yacht, Siboney, they met some whales. 'They started to hit the side of the boat,' said Bill, 'and then suddenly we heard water.'
The whales’ attack
Two minutes later, the yacht was sinking. They jumped into the! life-raft and watched the boat go under the water. For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water - two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw. Then the line broke. So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.'
Bill’s fishing
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn't stand up, so the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

Mike: So, what are you going to do today?
John: Frankly speaking, I have no idea. What would you advise?
Mike: Why not visit Hyde Park? It's one of the most picturesque places in London. Besides you both look slightly tired and a day in the open air will do you no harm.
Susan: Yes, you're quite right. I'm tired of shopping. Wait, I heard something of the place... Hyde Park... Please, remind me of it.
Hyde Park in London.
Mike: Oh, I see you're really too tired if you forget about the best-known park in London! Hyde Park together with Kensington Gardens and Regent's Park are still called Royal because many centuries ago the kings of England usually hunted there. Now these places are the most favourite ones for a lot of people. You can walk on the grass or even lie down there if it's warm enough.
John: Great! Let's go there immediately! As far as I remember visitors can also go horse-riding. I'm fond of riding! Don't you mind, Susan?
Susan: I don't. I want to go there too. How can we get there, Mike?
Mike: We'll drive there by car. It'll take us about half an hour, if we don't get into the traffic jam.

John: And I'm eager to see it again. It's really fantastic! These tall fellows dressed in scarlet tunics, blue trousers and huge bearskin caps look so impressive! Let's go there now.
Changing of the Guard.
Mike: Unfortunately it's impossible today because it's too late. Changing of the Guard takes place at half past eleven every morning. But tomorrow we'll go there by all means if you don't change your mind.
Susan: Then why not go to the Tower Bridge? It's so beautiful at night! Mike: Brilliant idea! Come along!

III. Read the text Airline Travelling
There are three international airports in London: Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick. Flights inside Britain are called domestic flights, so if you want to travel inside the country go to domestic Departures. At the airline desk you show your ticket and give them your luggage in the usual way. There is also a fast, frequent plane service - the shuttle - between London Heathrow and Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast. For services to other cities you should ask the airline or travel agents. Families, young people, students and other people can get some tickets cheaper (for train tickets ask about a "Rail¬card"). Students also have some special offers. If you've arrived by plane, the next thing to do is to get your luggage. Follow the signs to Baggage Reclaim and wait until you see your flight number. Keep your luggage with you till you are asked the label. Go through the Customs. This is the place where officials may search your luggage. There are two channels (passages) for travelers. Those who have more quantity of things than it is allowed to bring must go through the red channel. They have to pay duty (special tax). People with no things to declare go through the green channel without paying duty. You can also buy some things at duty-free shops which are not taxed.
