Holiday destinations        (направления )

People like to go to the seaside – to the Crimea, to Turkey, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Spain.

Some people like excursion tours. They travel b y bus with a guide and watch different places of interest (sites/attractions). Others like adventure tourism – they travel by hitch-hiking( автостопом )or  they become eco-tourists.

A famous personality

There are many famous  people who dedicate their life to helping  others. Their principle : to give is better than receive. ANGELINA JOLIE supports many charities” Doctors without borders”, “ Kids in need of defence” and many other. She  helps refugees( беженцы ). DAVID BACKHAM  supports orphans, veterans, protects animals and tries to improve education for poor families. He set up a fund  to help African children.BILL GATES supports charity funds for children with AIDS, he helps people in disasters, he struggles against  poverty. According to his will his own children will get only 0,2 % of his money and the rest will be spent on charity.LEONARDO Di CAPRIO makes films to make people ecologically-aware, he supports the problem of the Pacific reef, he donates money to public libraries.   When receiving  the 2016 Oscar  as the best actor in his speech he spoke about   nature in danger, about the climate change.

E-books versus paper books

E-books save space. I can have hundreds of books in my e-reader. E-readers are small and not heavy. It is very convenient to have it while travelling. E-books are environmentally friendly – we save trees. You can choose the size of the letters.  But  paper books don't need power to function. Some people have a (pretty good) habit of reading non-fiction books with a pencil, making remarks, underlining important passages, etc. Leafing through a paper book and smelling it also gives a good feeling. Probably, this is why paper books will not disappear completely.My eyes get strained with e-books.

ZOOS

Many people have  been to zoos, circuses, and aquariums. Many believe that people exploit animals for zoos and entertainment, others insist that zoos and circuses help educate people about animals. Many animal-lovers insist that animals are chained or beaten in circuses and used for making money. Animals are stressed, their life is not natural, their cages are small. On the other hand, Zoos can be beneficial to helping animals.. It's probably better all around, ecologically speaking, if people can go to a zoo and see a panda rather than forcing them to fly to China and destroy the natural habitat.
Some animals are endangered in the wild. Capturing a few for zoos allows them to be studied and may help provide a better understanding of their habits and needs, so that they can be preserved rather than becoming extinct.
