Now I would like to tell you about travelling in Russia.

For sure, everyone loves to travel, both children and adults. But it seems to me, that teenagers enjoy travelling more than grown-ups. The first reason is that they do not have their own family therefore they have more free time and less problems. The next reason, I think, is that the grown-ups are not as easy-going as teenagers. They usually want to stay in their familiar [fə’mɪlɪə] (знакомый, привычный) environment, or sometimes the journey becomes difficult for them for health reasons. From my point of view, travelling has become more popular in Russia because everyone knows that in the Soviet Union the borders for the simple people were practically closed. They hardly could go somewhere. Now, I think, people in my country have got the opportunity to travel and they can do it easier. They can choose any distances and countries to go and book the hotel and tickets on the Internet without leaving home what is very convenient. Moreover, they have become more interested in the way of life of people in other countries, their traditions and culture because of the Internet. They want to see, learn and feel something new.

As I see it, travelling may not harmful at all. During travelling people get unforgettable impressions and vivid [’vɪvɪd] (яркий) emotions, meet new people, learn about their lifestyle and culture. They see other countries and continents, modern cities and ancient towns, visit museums and art galleries. It is a good way to study history and geography. Travelling is the best way to broaden your mind as well.

The best journey I have ever taken is the journey to the Black sea. It was 2 years ago. My family and I spent by the sea for 3 weeks. We swam, sunbathed, played beach volleyball all day long. After that journey I was full of energy and enthusiasm [ɪn’tju: zɪæz (ə) m] (энтузиазм) to study and my health became better.

In conclusion, I would like to say that travelling is the best way to know the world.

Thank you for listening.
