| Foreign travel Nowadays more and more people enjoy foreign travel, and take up their holidays in the distant countries. However, not everyone has had the same reason for travelling. Some of people travel so that they can practise foreign languages, or because they want to visit the well-known sights in other countries. Lots of young people just want to have relax and make up new friends. Personally, I would like to travel abroad for the excitement! I have never been visited to a foreign country before, but I have been planning a trip around Europe by the train with some friends of mine. As we are students, and so we can buy cheaper tickets. One of my friends went on having this kind of trip a few years ago. She stayed in youth hostels, and managed to spend a very little money. I think that this would be an exciting holiday. | \/ . up 1).. 2).. 3).. 4).. 5).. 6).. 7).. 8).. 9).. 10).. 11).. 12).. 13)... 14) 15).. |
