Travelling

Modern life is impossible without travelling. Thousands of people travel every day either on business or for pleasure. They can travel by air, by rail, by sea or by road.

Of course, travelling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive too. Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but is has its advantages. You can see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have very comfortable seats. There are also sleeping cars and dining cars, which make even the longest journey enjoyable. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advantages of trains and planes.

Travelling by sea is very popular. Large ships and small river boats can visit foreign countries and different places of interest.

Travelling by car is very convenient. You needn’t reserve tour tickets. You needn’t carry heavy suitcases. You can stop wherever you wish, and spend at any place as much time as you like.

People began to travel ages ago. The very first travelers were explorers who went on trips to find wealth, fame or something else. Their journeys were very dangerous bit still people keep on going to unknown lands.

Nowadays it is not as dangerous and much more convenient. Hundreds of companies are ready to help you. They will take care about your tickets and make all the reservations needed. You can choose the means of transport you like: plane, train, ship, bicycle or you can travel hiking.

Tourism became a very profitable business because people are ready to spend their money for the great opportunity to have a great time learning about new countries, going sightseeing, resting and enjoying themselves.

Bert: Do you know a more exciting place than a big railway-station.

Cecil: I do.

Alex: And that is?

C: A big sea port. For me there is no travel so fine as by boat. I love to feel the deck of the boat under my feet, to see the rise and fall of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in my face and hear the cry of the sea-gulls. And what excitement, too, there is in coming into the harbour and seeing round us all the ships, steamers, cargo-ships, sailing ships, rowing boats.

Well, I suppose that’s all right for those that like it, but not for me. I’m always seasick, especially when the sea is a little bit rough.

B: I’ve heard that a good cure for seasickness is a small piece of dry bread.

Maybe; but I think a better cure is a large piece of dry land.

2. What did Cecil see round them while coming into the harbour?

Hall of the first reception room. Exposure "Atameken"       "Atameken" is translated from Kazakh as the "earth of fathers". The exposure, placed in Hall, gives to visitors the rare possibility to be introduced to the early life period of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.       The authentic exhibits of ХVIII-ХIХ cc., works of decorative- applied skill, the household articles, photos and archive documents tell about the native land, family, childhood, school years of N.A.Nazarbayev.       Diorama of the picturesque natural boundary of Zailiyskiy Alatau Ushkonyr completes the exposure "Atameken".
