Millions 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 and
different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to
listen to different music...It goes without saying that
travelling broadens the mind. While travelling we can see and learn a
lot of things that we can never learn staying at home and watching TV or
reading books.
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 residents usually like a quiet
holiday by the sea and in the mountains with nothing to do but walk and bathe
and lay in the sun. Most travelers and holiday-makers take a camera
with them and take pictures of everything that interest 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 had.
People travel by
train, by plane, by ship or boat and by car. All means of travel have
their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their
plans and preferences. The fastest way of travelling - is travelling
by plane, but in my opinion the most comfortable is travelling by ship and the
cheapest is travelling on foot.
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 the people is to meet them in their own
homes.
