2.1.2 Read Jane’s opinion about traveling and say what her idea about it is

Traveling? I think traveling is great. For me it’s the best way to spend holidays, to have rest and to enjoy free time. That is why every time I have a chance to go somewhere I do it without any hesitation.

I like everything connected with traveling: packing up the luggage, booking tickets for a plane or a train, doing hundreds of preparations. And every time I set for a flight or go on a journey, I am so excited and happy that I think about nothing else but a trip. I imagine myself sitting in a fast train and looking out of the window: villages, trees and rivers are passing by. Everything is so beautiful and new. Or isn’t it thrilling to fly high up in the sky when the towns, forests and fields are so small down there. I hold my breath when we get higher up the sky and fly above white clouds.

Yes, I believe traveling is terrific: it is fun and a learning experience also, because while traveling I get to know a lot about the places I visit, meet new people and learn a lot about new cultures and traditions. Traveling helps me to get away from my daily routine, and have a good time while traveling. Isn’t it fantastic?
