Text for listening and oral reproduction.Travelling is the best way of relaxation. If you are going to travel, you’d better book tickets in advance. All you have to do is to ring up the airport or the railway station booking-office. And, of course, you have to make your preparations. You should pack your things in a suitcase, call a taxi and go to the airport or the railway station. For some time you stay in the waiting-room. Then, if you travel by train you find your carriage and find your berth. It may be a lower berth or an upper one. You put your suitcase into a special box under the lower seat. In some time the train starts off. Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but if it is an express or a passenger train, it’s very convenient, because such trains don’t stop at small stations and it takes you less time to get to your destination. When you travel by plane, you board the plane after the procedure of registration. You sit down in a comfortable armchair and in a few minutes you are already above clouds. The stewardess brings in some drinks. You can sit and read a book or a magazine, look through the window to watch the passing clouds. When you get tired of relaxation, you become home-sick and feel like returning home. You realize that “East or West - home is best “.
Describe your last journey to some place in details.
