3. Read the text and get ready to retell it. Use your answers to the questions in exercise 4.

When you travel to a foreign country you should go through the customs. First you must pass the passport control, then the customs officer may ask you some questions about your luggage.

The time of arrival and departure of buses, trains, or planes is on the timetable board. If you need special information you can ask a lady at the information desk. You can buy tickets just before the departure or you may book your seats a long time before your trip. The fare of a bus ticket is usually the lowest. The most expensive are plane tickets.

1. What do you have to go through when you travel to a foreign country?

2. What questions may a customs officer ask you when you go through the customs?

7. Look at the photos and say what kind of travelling you like. Say why you like it. Use the model.

Model: There are different kinds and means of travelling, but I like travelling by train the most. Firstly, your travel is very comfortable: you can sit, walk, or even sleep in a train compartment. Secondly, you can see wonderful scenery behind the window. Finally, you can meet a lot of interesting people during the trip.

Of course, there are some disadvantages in travelling by train, but they never spoil (псувати) my impressions of any trip.
