Dear Bill,

I was very happy to get your letter. Sorry, I have not written for so long because I have been busy at school studying for my exams. How are you keeping?

In your letter you speak about issues which are interesting for all teenagers. I think a lot about my future career. Furthermore, my parents help me to choose my future profession. So I have already decided on my career. I want to become a teacher of foreign languages, too. I do like to work with children. They make me feel happy.

I know that you are fond of traveling. Where are you planning to go next? Are you planning to go with your parents or friends? Where will you live there?

I am looking forward to your answer. Keep in touch.

Love,

Anna

Dear Steve,

Thank you for your recent letter. I’m awfully sorry for not writing to you earlier, I had so many tasks at school that I had very little free time.

You’ve written that you are also busy doing a project at school. I’ve always thought it might be interesting to know about reading habits of people all over the world.

You ask what books my family and I like reading. In general, Russian people are a reading nation and so we are. To be honest, I’m not reading much this year as I’m preparing for my entrance exams, but mostly I choose fantasy books. My mother enjoys reading detective stories while my father prefers historic literature.

I’m so glad for your sister. Pass my congratulations to her, please. Is her husband British? What does he do? Where do they live?

Write back soon.

Best wishes,

Boris

International tourism is often contrasted with domestic tourism, with the former meaning exciting adventure and the latter, boring leisure. Let’s examine some of the reasons for such differences of attitude and opinion.

As far as the advantages of international tourism are concerned, these are above all the rich cultural opportunities and an excellent service in hotels. Tourists could visit different museums, galleries, get acquainted with new traditions and customs, taste new food, practice a foreign language and learn something new.

Domestic tourism also has many advantages such as an opportunity to meet new friends, to admire the most beautiful places of our country, to learn more about our history. What is more, there are also a lot of sights and interesting museums to be seen in our own country.

As far as the disadvantages of international tourism one can name the need to have international passports, to get visas, currency. Besides not everyone can afford to pay big sums of money for travelling expenses and accommodation.

There are some disadvantages of domestic tourism as well. Firstly, service at hotels, shops is worse than abroad. Secondly, everything seems boring because there isn’t much change in the world around you. Moreover, a lot of domestic tours cost as much as the international ones.

To sum it up, both international and domestic tours have its advantages and disadvantages. An English proverb says “Many men, many minds”. So, one should choose what is better for himself.
