TRAVELLING AND HOLIDAY MAKING
(Unit 10)
I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC
Task 1.
Read the text “Holiday Making” and do the tasks following it.
I consider holidays the most pleasant time with so many possibilities to
spend time. Actually, you have nothing to do but enjoy yourself. You can do it
in many different ways – you can travel, you can go to the movies, you can go in
for sports – it is all up to you to choose.
Our family always looks forward to going on a holiday. There’s nothing
like summer holidays. We usually make our plans beforehand. All of us are fond
of travelling. I find it exciting to see mountains, rivers, and cities, meet new
people and make friends with them. We like to go camping. We spend holidays
in a tent on an organized campsite. A camping family has to buy and cook their
own food, do their own washing, and look after their own accommodation.
Some people say it is no rest when one must do so many things. But we are fond
of camping and won’t change it even for going abroad on a tour. You know,
many people prefer hiking. They love to leave broad highways and go along
little lanes where cars can’t go. They take mountain paths; they walk by the side
of quiet lakes and through the woods. They see the real country, the wild
flowers, and the young birds in their nests. They feel the calm of nature.
Many people prefer holiday centres. There are wooden houses with good
beds, electric light, running water. Some holiday centers have large buildings with
all modern conveniences and comfort, a large hall for dancing, a cinema, a bar,
and rooms for games. The place usually has its own swimming pool and tennis
courts. In fact, there is everything you need. The Black Sea is one of the most
wonderful places which attracts holiday-makers all over the world. There are
many rest-homes, sanatoriums and tourist camps there for travellers to live in. To
stay in such holiday centers is too expensive, and our family cannot afford it.
My parents say that a holiday in the country is not less interesting than at
the seaside. You may go boating and fishing, or just go for a walk in the forest
and pick flowers, berries and mushrooms. It is always pleasant in hot weather to
go to the wood and walk in the shade of the trees and listen to birds’ singing.
Winter holidays are the occasion that students always look forward to and
enjoy greatly. They begin after all the exams are over and you are free. No
doubt, winter is a great time for sports.
I should say that every season is good for a holiday. But our life is not one
long endless holiday. There should be time for work and time for leisure.
