3.1 Travelling
Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling.They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities andthe ruins of ancient towns, they travelto enjoy picturesque places, or justfor a change of scene. It is always interestingto discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people,to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows anddining at exotic restaurants. City dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe andlaze in the sun.
Most travellers andholiday-makers takea camera with them andtake pictures of everything that interests them - thesights of a city, oldchurches andcastles, views ofmountains, lakes,valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests; different kinds of trees, flowers and plants; animals and birds.
Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had.
People travel by train, by boat and by car.
All means of travel have theiradvantages and disadvantages. And people choose oneaccording to their plans and destinations.
If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we 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 thepeople is to meet them in their own homes.
