Текст "On Travelling"
People started travelling in the ancient times. The first travellers were pilgrims, nomads and explorers. Travelling was really dangerous in those days, but there were always brave and daring people who went on discovering new lands, in search of wealth and fame.
Nowadays things have changed significantly. Hundreds of compa¬nies are willing to help you if you are planning to go somewhere. You are free to choose where to go: you may want to spend a vacation in the mountains or by the sea, and a plane will take you to the place of your choice in a matter of hours. A lot of people will cater to the needs of the travellers in hotels and holiday centres all over the world. Visitors are amused and taken care of in any possible way.
Holidaymaking has become one of the most profitable industries, and the budget of many countries, such as Turkey, Egypt and Greece depends on tourism a lot. Travelling has become easier — and maybe less exciting.
