TRAVELLING AND TOURISM Устная тема

1.Tourism. How do you prefer to travel? Types of tourism.

Our life has became very monotonous and routine. People complain about the lack of free time. What is a cure for routine and boredom? The answer is travelling. You just need to choose a destination, hop on the bus, train or a plane and prepare yourself for a life changing experience.

Travelling has a lot of advantages. It broadens our mind. We get acquainted with new people and get rid of national stereotypes. Travelling is useful for educational purposes as well. You come in touch with history, learn geography and the culture of the country you visit.

There are several types of travelling and each of them has its own advantages. Planes are fast, buses are cheap, trains are comfortable and romantic. You should choose your means of transport. I prefer travelling by car. First of all it is independent. Travelling by car gives us an opportunity to create our own route, change it during the journey, stop and rest wherever we want.

What concerns types of tourism, I should say that it depends on the aim of your trip. First of all they are domestic tourism when you travel around your motherland and international, when you travel abroad. Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong are the top destinations nowadays. Medical tourism is for people who can’t afford medications and surgery at home. Ecotourism is a new form of tourism. Adventure tourism includes hiking, bike-riding, camping. This segment of tourism industry is very competitive and popular among teenagers.

Whatever type of transport and destination you choose, be sure that you will return from your trip changed and transformed.

2.Do you agree that travelling with friends is more interesting than travelling with parents?

As for me , I prefer to travel with my family. We spend little time together because of work and studying, so travelling with parents is a unique chance to become closer with my family, to discuss different questions, share our opinions and secrets, to be involved in whole-family activities, to have unforgettable feeling and emotions. Family trip helps us to become a close-knit family.
