Brighton

Dear friend!
I'm fond of traveling. I see and learn a lot of things I may read about them in books and newspapers, and see pictures of them on TV. The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes. It is always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, and to listen to different musical rhythms. Travel broadens your mind and scope.
Travel has always been a part of people's education. It teaches people about art and culture. You can also improve your knowledge of foreign languages.
I don't like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun. I'd rather travel to see different countries, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns.
What do you think of travelling?
Did you have your favourite holiday?
All the best,
James.
Ex. 23 Give the Russian equivalents to the proverbs. Think about situations where you can use them. Learn the proverbs by heart.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Every country has its customs.
East or West, home is best.
So many countries, so many customs.
