26、en I like. If I feel tired, I sit down and admire peacefully the scenery around me. If I see a beautiful stream, I turn aside to walk along its banks. Sometimes I rest in the shade of a thick wood. I go where I like.,Travel by train,I love traveling by train. Its more pleasant to ride on trains than
27、 to take any other means of transport. You can walk around, especially you can stretch your legs when you feel tired of sitting in a seat. That can not be done in a car or on a bus. You can look at the scenery and make friends with your fellow passengers. However, in a plane all you can see are the
28、clouds and the backs of other peoples seats. Its also much cheaper than traveling by air and its much safer than traveling by car.,Travel by plane,Air travel is very fast and enjoyable. A plane can take us to almost anywhere in the world very fast. Its safe and comfortable and relaxing.,Travel by Tr
29、ain Vs by Plane,Trains and planes are the most popular transportations for far-distance travels. We can decide which one to chose for our own need because they both have their advantages and disadvantages. We will talk about them from the following five aspects: First, the price. People always chose
30、 to travel by train when they are not in a hurry. Most important reason is that it is cheaper tan traveling by plane. Usually, the money you pay for the lane ticket will pay for at least five train tickets.,Secondly, the speed. Of course, traveling by plane is much faster than traveling by train. If
31、 you want to save time or you are in a hurry, plane is the best choice. You can change your place several times in a day at will. You can go to your destination in the morning and then go back in the evening. Isnt it fantastic? But traveling by train, you should spend longer time on your way. Third,
32、 the scenery. Although traveling by train is slow, on your way, you can see the beautiful scenery outside which you cannot see from the plane. It is amazing to see different features of scenery in different areas. But on the plane, you can only see the clouds.,Forth, the safety. It is safer to trave
33、l by plane. There are more people on the train than on the plane. The kinds of people are more complex. You should always be careful of your money and personal belongings. But if you are on a plane, you dont need to worry about that. Everyone sits in his own seat and has his belt fastened. The chanc
34、es of being stolen are small. Finally, the comfort. Some people think that traveling by train is comfortable because you can walk freely and if you are traveling with friends, you can chat, play cards and some other games together. But some people think traveling by plane is comfortable, because you
35、 dont need to stand or sit in a noisy crowd. You just need to sit for some hours and relax yourself. Anyway, it depends on your own opinion. Above all, traveling by train and by plane are both interesting and convenient. You can choose anyone of them as you like.,Travel on your own (自己旅行) Package to
36、ur （跟团旅行）Lets discuss about it.,Questions: Whom do you often travel with? Do you often travel on your own or go on a package tour? Have you ever been on a package tour?

38、of interest. While many like to join package tours for convenience，I prefer to travel on my own. I like traveling on my own not only because its cheaper but because it gives me much freedom. Traveling on my own，Im my own boss and can decide when to start on my way，where to stay a little longer and w
39、hich spot to visit, what food to eat, whether to do shopping. I can always adjust my plan. But in a package tour tourists have no freedom. They have to follow the plan made in advance. Travel can be very tiring. The hotel rooms and the food arranged by the travel group may not be so good. To make it
40、 worse, the tour guides often take the tourists to shops they dont want to go. Thats a waste of time and money. So I prefer to travel on our own. Its true we may have inconveniences sometimes, for example, getting tickets, hotel rooms and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with t
41、he freedom which is important to me.,I prefer package tour to traveling on our own because package tour is cheap and convenient. The travel agency can take care of everything for us, from tickets, hotel rooms, meals to sightseeings. The tour guide is very helpful to show us around and tell us much a
42、bout everything.

43、ound about the Travel DestinationLearn About the Culture and Laws,A traveler should find out as much as possible about the places she is visiting before she leaves.

44、time to check out cities and towns along the way. Hit a bookstore or library and browse through some travel guides. The Internet is also a great resource from travel blogs to official city websites. One can also go to travel websites put out by the companies that make travel books. Then pick one up
45、or borrow it from a friend.,A traveler should talk to everyone she knows, from her neighbor to workmates, about where she is visiting and see if they have been there and have any travel tips. They can help out by naming the restaurant they liked the best to even having family and friends she can hoo
46、k up with when she reaches the new country.,Read and talk to people about the culture of the country to be visited. If it is a conservative country, then packing ones bags accordingly is important. A traveller can wear a bikini like she might do at home, but if all the women are wearing saris into t
47、he water, she is going to get a lot of attention and likely not the good kind. As well, not only is the legal system a lot different from home, but the penal system can be much harsher. Doing drugs or insulting the royal family could lead to serious consequences, so its important to know and follow
48、local rules and culture.,Safe Travel,Protect your moneyProtect yourselfProtect your belongings,Problems you might meet,Before you go, make a list of all the phone numbers for your credit cards. That way if they are lost or stolen, you can immediately call and have them canceled and replaced. If you
49、plan to carry travelers check, take the check receipts with you. But keep them separate from the checks themselves. Also, dont carry all your money in one place. When you go shopping, put a few bills in a small purse and keep the rest in a safe place. Use hotel safes for your valuables dont trust th
50、at they will be safe in your room. Finally, carry your money and credit cards next to your skin. And at night, sleep with them under your pillow.,You never know when an emergency will happen.

See where the fire exits are. Then walk down the hall and find them. Plan an escape route.,
