Alex: Personally I hate seeing people off. I prefer being seen off myself. I’m extremely fond of travelling.

Bert: But what method of travelling do you prefer?

A.: For me there is nothing like travel by air; it is more comfortable, more convenient and of course far quicker than any other method. Besides, flying is a thrilling thing. Don’t you agree?

B.: I think I should like to say a word or two for trains. With a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure combined. From the comfortable corner seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of the whole countryside. If you are hungry, you have a meal in the dining-car; and if a journey is a long one you can have a wonderful bed in a sleeper. Do you know a more exciting place than a big railway-station?

Cecil: I do.

A.: And that is?

C.: A big sea port. For me there is no travel so fine as by boat. I love to feel the deck of the boat under my feet, to see the rise f all of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in my face and hear the cry of the sea gulls.

A.: Well, I suppose that’s all right for those that like it, but not for me. I’m always seasick, especially when the sea is a little bit rough.

B.: I’ve heard that a good cure for seasickness is a small piece of dry bread.

A.: Maybe; but I think a better cure is a large piece of dry land.

David: Well, you may say what you like about aeroplane flights, sea voyages, railway journeys or tours by car, but I like a walking tour most. What does the motorist see of the country? But the walker leaves the dull broad highway and goes along little winding lanes where cars can’t go. He sees the real country, the wild flowers, the young birds in their nests, the deer in the forest; he feels the quietness and the calm of nature. And besides, no one can deny that walking is the cheapest method of travelling.

Ex.10. Прочитайте и инсценируйте следующие анекдоты:

 

A traveler, on arriving at a small railway station, asked the station master:

“Can you tell me how many hotels you have here?”

“We have two,” he answered.

“Well, which of the two will you recommend?”

“Frankly speaking, whichever one you go to, you’ll be sorry you didn’t go to the other,” was the answer.

 

“Do you know the difference between English, Scottish, and Irish?”

“No, what is it?”

“Well, in leaving a train, an Irishman walks off without looking to see whether he has left anything behind; an Englishman looks back to see whether he has left anything; and Scotsman looks back to see whether anybody else has left anything.”
