9. UTAZÁS

People often travel on business, for pleasure, for relaxation or even for education or for their health. I love it too, but the snag is that I can’t afford to travel as much as I’d like to. I’ve neither the money nor the time for it. But I usually go for a trip/journey at least once a year in summer. In a package tour you travel with others and follow a prearranged itinerary covering all the famous landmarks. You pay a single, all-inclusive price that covers everything such as transportation, meals, accommodation, sightseeing tours and guides. With independent travel you pay as you go and during the journey you can change your mind if you want to.

TRAVELLING

Part I.

1. Íme egy kis történet egy utazásról. Különösen figyelj a kiemelt szavakra, velük lesz még késõbb dolgod.
My best friend, Samuel and me have been bitten by the travel bug, so we decided to go to Italy during the summer. Sam suggested going by car, but I tried to convince him that travelling by train, or plane is much more comfortable. Besides, I know he drives at beakneck speed and I'm often carsick, so I told him I would rather go on foot, but not in his car! Anyway, we set off on a warm summer morning and saw lovely towns, little picturesque villages, all the beauty spots in Italy, I must say, including the mountains. I can hardly find words to describe the view from the peak; breathtaking, magnificient or maybe stunning? Well, I did in fact find some words in the end! It was a really scenic journey. It was the first time I had ever been abroad and I really enjoyed every minute of it. Interestingly enough, I was not at all carsick. Yes, as you may have guessed, he convinced me to go in his car and I finaly gave in.
