many times. I want you to help me with this table. Divide the adjectives
between these means of traveling.

IV.
Etiquette for
travelers. There is one more statement which I’d like to
introduce: It is impossible to educate people to be good tourists. And it’s
sometimes so. But this happens not only because we want it but because we are
not attentive or we don’t know how to behave in this or that situation.
A.
(For example...)
B.
I don’t want pupils
to comment on this statement. They’ve already done this with their
presentations. They will try to educate us to be good tourists. Be attentive
because you’ll have to fulfill some tasks after them.

TASK. You are
going to read a magazine article about planning a holiday. Read it and do the
tasks after the text
Planning a Holiday
More and more people take holidays
abroad every year, and a recent survey has shown that they would rather cut
back spending on food and clothing during the year than spend less on holidays.
Choosing the holiday is not always easy but in this day and age there is a wide
range of choice, you should be able to find something to suit your taste, and
pocket.
Some people like planning their
holiday independently, while others prefer to book a package. It depends on
where you're going, how much money you have, and whether you're traveling
alone, or with friends or family.
The
obvious advantage of a package holiday is that it's simple to organize. You
book the holiday through a travel agent, and transport, insurance and
accommodation are all arranged for you. All you have to do is pay the bill. If
you take an independent holiday, on the other hand, you can spend a lot of time
and a small fortune checking complicated timetables, chasing cheap flights, and
trying to make hotel bookings in a language you can't even speak. What is more,
package holidays are often incredibly cheap. For the price of a suit, you can
have a fortnight in a foreign resort, including accommodation, meals, and air
travel. A similar independent holiday, however, can work out much more
expensive.
Yet the advantages of planning your
holiday yourself are considerable. You are free to choose exactly where and
when you want to go, how you want to travel, and how long you want to stay. You
can avoid the large resorts, whereas holiday-makers on package tours are often
trapped among crowds of other tourists. You can eat the food of the region at
reasonable prices in local restaurants, while they are served with
"international" dishes and chips with everything. Besides, although
package holidays are usually extremely good value for money, they are not
always cheaper. If you're willing to take a little trouble, you may be able to
save money by fixing up a foreign holiday yourself.
All
things considered, what kind of holidays would you choose?
Step 1. Statements: true or false
1.
Most holiday
makers choose not to economize oh their holidays.
2.
Everybody knows
which holiday is ideal for him/her.
3.
Both independent
and package holidays are simple to organize.
4.
Independent
holidays are always cheaper than package tours.
5.
Package tours give
holiday-makers less freedom of choice.
STEP 2. Fill in the table with advantages of package
and independent holidays. The first one is done for you.
