Procedure
The topic of our lesson is «Travelling». Today we are going to talk about holiday activities and holiday problems. In my opinion, this topic is very interesting and important nowadays because we enjoy travelling about our country and visiting different countries and we can’t imagine our life without it.
First of all, I’d like to tell you that nowadays millions of people all over the world are fond of travelling. People began to travel ages ago. The first travellers were explorers who wanted to discover new lands and to find wealth. Their journeys were rather dangerous. Modern life is impossible without travelling. Thousands of people travel every day either on business or for pleasure.

“TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND”

There were no railways in England before 1825 and if people wanted to travel they had to go by road, on foot, on horseback, or in a coach. There were not many roads at those days; they were bad, especially when it rained. The fares were high. Not only travelling in coaches, but even walking cost money at those days. On roads there were gates called toll-gates. When a traveler came to one, he had to pay a toll. This money was used to make the roads better. But the greatest danger was the highwaymen. A highwayman was a man who took money and jewels from travelers. Highwaymen stopped coaches and cried:”Your money or your life” and the passengers had to give them all they had. That’s why travelling in the days of coaches was dangerous and not very comfortable. People didn’t travel as much as they do now. Each year more English people with their children travel to some parts of continental Europe. Many take their cars, often with tents and caravans. Others take part in group travel. Many people in Great Britain spend weekends and holidays travelling along beautiful rivers and canals. The canals were built 200 years ago. They were very useful before railways. Some of canals are still used for transporting goods. But many of them are used for sailing. For young people who work in the big industrial towns the beauty of the canals has special interest at weekends. Sailing round the coast is very popular, and young people like to sail at weekends.
