TRAVELLING
People began to travel ages ago. The first travellers were explorers who wanted to discover new lands and to find wealth. Their journeys were very dangerous. Nowadays travelling is not that dangerous and much more comfortable.
Millions of people all over the world travel every day. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns. They travel to enjoy picturesque places just for a change of scene. It is always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
You can choose the means of transport you like: plane, train, ship, bicycle or you can go hiking.
Of course, travelling by plane is the fastest, but it is also the most expensive. We all agree that the future belongs to the air transport because it's more comfortable and more convenient than other ways of travelling. There are a lot of advantages of travelling by air. Besides, flying is a thrilling thing. Although planes do not take us to small remote places, but only planes take us to other continents. If you are hungry you can have a meal on board the plane. A stewardess serves snacks and drinks. Besides, from the comfortable seat in a plane you can have a splendid view of the beautiful cloudy sky. But many people say that there are a lot of disadvantages of travelling by air. Planes make them nervous. And they are quite right because flying is not a good experience if you are air-sick. Besides, nowadays we have a lot of air-crashes. As you know flying depends on the weather conditions. If the weather is cloudy airliners cannot fly. And travelling by air can cost a lot.

Travelling by train is one of the most popular means of travelling. Trains go slower than planes, but you can see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Travelling by train is cheaper. Modern trains are very comfortable and you can enjoy a splendid view of the countryside. If you are hungry you can have a meal in the dining-car.
Travelling by sea is usually called a voyage or a cruise. On board large ships people can visit foreign countries and see their own country.
Travelling by bus is one of the cheapest means of travelling. Modern buses have comfortable seats, video and phone. You can have hot tea or coffee, drinks and snacks there. You can have a trip not far from your home or visit foreign countries.
Many people prefer travelling by car. They don't have to buy tickets. They don't have to carry heavy luggage. They can stop wherever they wish and spend as much time as they like at any place.
But some peple like to travel on foot or by bike. It isn't the most comfortable means of travelling, but it is the cheapest.

TRAVELLING BY AIR
Travelling by air is more convenient than by train because it saves you time considerably though it does not save money. Distances more than 2000 km can now be covered by modern passenger planes on nonstop flights without landing to refuel. Statistics shows that travelling by air is as safe as travelling by train. Last time I travelled by air two years ago when I was on holiday in the Caucasus. I booked a ticket fifteen days in advance. On the appointed day after packing my luggage, I proceeded to the airport by bus. In the hall of the airport there were a lot of people waiting for boarding the plane. Before, the flight passengers must register at the airport. When registering the passenger is required to have his luggage weighed after which the attendant attaches a special tag to it. Each passenger is allowed twenty kilograms of luggage free of charge. There is no need to worry about your suitcase, it will be looked after.
The registration stopped half an hour before the time of take-off. Soon we heard the voice of the announcer calling the plane going south. "Boarding the plane Flight 217 begins. Passengers are invited to Gate 5." I said good-bye to my friends who came to see me off and with the other passengers went to a special bus which took us to the plane on the runway.
On board the plane the stewardess helped everyone get comfortable in the reclining seats adjustable to some positions. I sat back and relaxed. Very soon the plane took off. At that moment we saw a notice "No smoking. Fasten your seat-belts." In a few minutes we were above the clouds. During the flight we got information of the altitude, speed, the weather and the distance covered. The stewardess served us mineral water, juice, tea, sweets and sandwiches. Besides, newspapers and magazines were offered to the passengers. Everybody felt comfortable and nobody was airsick. The plane landed exactly on time.
Exercise I
Substitute the words of the opposite meaning for the underlined words:
1. The jet plane took off exactly on time.
2. I have come to the airport to meet my friends returning from
Moscow.
3. Before the plane took off the stewardess asked the passengers to
fasten the belts.
4. One by one the passengers were alighting out of the plane.
5. Our seats were in the rear part of the plane.

AT THE HOTEL
When travelling it is convenient to stay at a hotel. The best way is to reserve a room in advance by telegram or by phone. Those who travel much know that sometimes tourists experience certain difficulties with booking a room at a suitable hotel. At the height of the season a sign "No vacancies" can be often seen at the desk-clerk.
But if you are lucky with booking a room you will enjoy your rest. In this case you must first observe some formalities. The desk-clerk will hand you an arrival card which all guests are required to fill in. The following information is required:
1. The name (in full) - surname, (first) name, patronymic.
2. Place of permanent residence.
3. Passport No.
After having filled in the arrival card you must pay for all accommodation. The price depends on the duration of your staying at the hotel and the number of rooms booked. When all the formalities are over the desk-clerk hands you the key and you may go upstairs to occupy the room. At the hotel you will find rooms with or without bath, single rooms, double rooms and complete suites consisting of two or more rooms.
Once you decide to stay at the hotel you are referred to as a "guest". You will find notices everywhere reminding guests to leave their keys at the desk when going out. All the keys are hung on a special keyrack.

In the lobby you will usually find a newspaper stall and stalls where cigarettes and souvenirs are sold. You can also find a special corner or room to write letters. Guests are given a telephone service as well. You may book a trunk-call or reserve railway and airline tickets from your room telephone.
Most of hotels have snack bars and restaurants. Besides there is a coffee-bar and grill-bar downstairs.
The desk-clerk will answer all your questions and give you any information you need. He can also order railway tickets for you or book a ticket for the next boat out.
All hotels run a special laundry service for their guests. You can have your laundry done and your clothes ironed. The maid does your room every morning so you needn't even make your bed. At the entrance of the hotel there stands a doorman whose duty is opening the door for those who enter or leave the hotel, hailing taxicabs, calling a porter and so on.
Guests are required to notify the clerk in advance about leaving so that he could have the bill ready for them in time.

AT THE RESTAURANT
In all large English towns there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, tea rooms, or public houses (pubs). All the large hotels have restaurants where you can have a snack or dinner.
In London for the really cheap places it is very interesting to explore the little French or Italian restaurants of Soho. Spanish visitors who are feeling homesick can, within a hundred yards of Piccadilly, find the Spanish Restaurant and imagine they have gone back to Spain for the decoration, the salads, the cooking, the wines, the waiters and most of the diners are Spanish.
In the same way there are Indian, Chinese, Hungarian, or Jewish restaurants.
If you want real old English food you must go to the Strand. Here roast beef - cooked at open roasting fire - is wheeled to your table and carved before your eyes.
Most visitors like to go to the "old Cheshire Cheese" of Fleet Street, an old chop-house where famous writers used to go. The traditional dish here is rumpsteak, kidney, and oyster pudding. A plate of this with a pint of bitter beer in a long glass, followed by the pancake or the toasted cheese and special "punch" in a china bowl, is a meal you don't easily forget. At the restaurant you may either reserve a table beforehand by telephone or occupy any table disengaged at the moment you come. There is a menu which contains the names of all dishes available for the first, second and third courses. It offers a choice of appetizers, drinks, meat or fish dishes as well as various kinds of soup and broth. The most popular meat dishes are beefsteak, rumpsteak, roast beef, chicken with mashed or fried potatoes, macaronis or noodles.
For dessert you may order ice-cream, coffee, tea or juice. After you have chosen the dishes the waiter or waitress takes your order and gives you a bill. Some minutes later the dinner is served.

SHOPPING (AT THE SUPERMARKET)
People buy foodstuffs at the food stores, at the markets and at the supermarkets. It is more convenient to do shopping at the supermarket: you can find there everything you need. More and more people nowadays prefer to provide themselves with foodstuffs for a long period. As they buy in quantities, they go to the supermarket by car and after having done shopping they load their bags and packets into the luggage compartment.
Let us visit one of the supermarkets in the city. It is a one-storied building, spacious and light, with large shop windows. Inside we can see some signs: Dairy produce, Dry groceries, Vegetables and Fruit, Meat and Fowl, Fish, Bakery Goods, Confectionery and Pastry, Wine. The dairy produce counter is well stocked with fresh milk foodstuffs. What is there for sale? Butter, cheese, curds, cream, sour cream, milk, fruit yoghurt, eggs, margarine, mayonnaise.
Everything is sold ready packed. Next to this is the bakery counter where everybody can choose whatever he or she likes: white and brown bread, buns, rolls, rings, pies, cheese cakes and so on.
In the dry groceries counter there is also a great choice of produce. You can buy flour, spice, tea, sugar (lump, cube, granulated) there. Besides, customers can find there various packets filled with dry soup, noodles or chips. They are easy to cook within three minutes.
The meat and fowl counter looks very attractive too. Chicken, ham, pork, bacon, beef, veal and mutton are at your disposal there. You will find a variety of sausages in this section too. A special counter handles frozen and fresh fish; smoked and dry fish is also offered to the customers. Besides, the counter is full of sea products, quite exotic and unseen before. There are crabs, shrimps, crawfish, lobsters, oysters. A large space is occupied with tinned fish.
The section where fruit and vegetables are for sale is called a greengrocery. It always attracts a lot of customers because irrespective of the season the counters are full of fresh fruit and vegetables grown in Russia or brought from other countries. Apples and pears, oranges, lemons and tangerines, apricots and peaches, bananas and grapes are practically available all the year round. For those who like berries there are strawberries, raspberries, cherries, cranberries and red bilberries nicely packed in small baskets. If you want to buy vegetables, you will find everything you need: potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, beetroot, onion, garlic.
When doing shopping at the supermarket don't forget to look at the expiry date printed on the packet. You are recommended to use the foodstuff before it.
Choosing products customers put them into a special basket and with the basket full go to the cashier. The cashier calls the price and gives them a check.
Visiting a supermarket you considerably save your time.

6. Is the price for foodstuffs at the supermarket higher than that in small shops or in the markets?
