HOLIDAYS IN BRITAIN A. Although more and more people are going abroad for then
holidays, a third of British holiday-makers still. go for a
traditional seaside holiday in Britain. It was the British who started the fashion for seaside holidays — not surprisingly, since
nobody in Britain lives more than 120 km from the sea. The
trek to the sea began at the end of the eighteenth century, when fashionable London society followed the Prince Regent (later
George IV) to Brighton, a small town fifty miles from London. The prince found the climate agreeable and built himself summer pavilion there. Today Brighton is a popular place for
holiday-makers and the pavilion is used as a museum, assembly
room and concert hall. Many Londoners go there for the day during the summer, and Brighton has been called “London by the sea” B. Iwyn and Mary Williams have never been abroad. Most of their neighbours have been on package holidays to Spanish reson
and Mary would like to go to Spain next summer. It would cost
more than a seaside holiday in Britain but not much more. Iwyn is not so sure. He likes going to Brighton every year. They
sit on the crowded, stony beach , sleep in the sun, listen to the transistor radio and ocassionally have a swim in the sea. In the
they often spend an hour or two on the pier. Piers are a speciality
of British seaside towns. They stretch out to sea, carrying their iron legs restaurants, theatres, dance halls and other places of amusement. Iwyn spends hours putting coins in slot machines,
hoping to win a prize, whilst Mary visits the fortune-teller or has her photographs taken wearing a hat with “Brighton” painted on it it . On their way back to the hotel, they walk under the bright lights of the sea front eating fish and chips out of a newspaper. (from “Britain Today”)

Меня зовут Дэниэль Лонюю Мне 26 лет, и я никогда не видела море. Чтобы увидеть море, мне достаточно было взять двухнедельный отпуск, купить билет на поезд и по приезде остановиться в пансионате Палава-ле-Фло. Другие так и поступают. Я тоже не раз хотела это сделать, но у меня ничего не вышло. Вот уже ' шесть лет я каждый раз пишу в различные туристические компании , в гостиницы, мне присылают проспекты, я начинаю приглядывать в витринах магазинов купальные костюмы и модные
летние шляпки. Однажды я даже чуть было не записалась в какой-то клуб организованного отдыха. Две недели на Балеэрских островах, дорога в оба конца самолетом, и, конечно, осмотр. Пальмы, оркестр, тренер по плаванию, яхта, закрепленные за ваши на все время вашего отдыха, хорошая погода и еще масса всяких
соблазнов, так что уже от одного чтения проспектов покрываешься загаром. Но почему-то, сама не могу объяснить почему, я еду не загорать на море, а провожу свой отпуск в гостинице Мон-бриана, департамент Верхняя Луара, либо у моей школьной подруги, которая живет с мужем и свекровью в деревне. И мы играем в бридж. И это не потому, что я очень застенчива, либо люблю
карты. Нужно обладать нахальством, чтобы потчевать знакомых рассказами о своих похождениях на Лазурном берегу, когда в действительности я возвращаюсь из Компьенского леса. Мой отпуск имеет одно преимущество: я с легкостью и без сожаления забываю о нем, едва переступив порог своего кабинета. (С. Жапризо . Дама в очках и с ружьем в автомобиле). Speech Exercises Ex. 1. Decide on a country near your own that people often travel to. How many ways are there of getting from your country to the capital city of the nearby country? Write down three different ways of travelling there, making notes of the advantages and disadvantages of each way. Ex. 2. A. Say if you have ever travelled by car or by coach to some town or city in your country. Describe your impressions. B. . Do you have any cut-price tickets? Are they convenient? What might foreign visitors need to know about ways of travelling around your country (city)? Discuss in a group. Ex. 3. A. Suppose you are lost in an unknown place while driving a car. Ask somebody for directions. (Make up a dialogue.) B
Say what you should do in your country after an accident. Say if the British (Americans) do the same. Start with: Keep calm. Do not discuss who is to blame. If there is no injury, move the car to the side of the road so as not to disrupt the traffic.
What are the various advantages and disadvantages of each of them? Ex. 5. Make up the list of words under the following headings: Road, Rail, Sea, Air. Ex. 6. Say why many people are fond of travelling. Ex. 7. Say what you think about walking tours. Ex. 8.Think of a place in your country (a different place for each number) which is: 1) cosmopolitan 2) lively 3) famous for its historic monuments 4) worth visiting 5) not worth visiting Ex. 9.
