4.Read the text “ A day of travelling will bring a basket of learning”. Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and visit the seven continents of the world. They wander through the castles and museums of Europe, and the cities and natural wonders of North and South America. Some visit the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The great outback of Australia is a wonderland for those who go there. And a few lucky people even go to the most mysterious continent on the earth- Antarctica. Why do people want to explore the world? It gives them a better perspective about the earth and the people living on it. It opens their minds, it gives them a feeling of accomplishment, and it makes them feel alive. I wanted to go abroad last year, perhaps to the South America, and I finally decided to go to Brazil. If you book ahead, you can get incredibly good deals with the budget airlines. For example, flights from as low as € 1! But you must reserve your seats early. I booked the flight with Air Astana. I needed an accommodation too, so I looked on the Internet for hotels in Manaus. I found a nice one and decided to stay there for the first week. I also had to get a visa, and I got some foreign currency. I paid €200 for travel insurance; you never know, I might be ill or lose my things . I packed my suitcase, took my passport , hired a taxi to airport and left home. In the search for the world`s most amazing hotels, I visited the hotel in the rainforest. Ariau Amazon Towers is one of the most incredible hotels I`ve ever stayed in. It`s in the middle of the Amazon rainforests in Brazil, about 60 kilometers from Manaus, the nearest city. What makes it so special is that most of the hotel is up in the trees- 30 meters above the ground! There are two excellent restaurants and after dinner you can go for a drink in one of four treetop bars. Or you can go swimming in one of the hotel`s beautiful pools and watch the monkeys and birds in the trees above you. There are a lot of things to do nearby. I went for a long walk in the rainforest with an excellent local guide and saw plants, trees, birds and animals of every description. You can also go on a boat trip along the river Amazon and go fishing for piranhas. Every day is an adventure- I was never bored in the three days I was there. It rains a lot from December to June, so the best time to visit it is from July to November. So save some money, get your passport ready, and see the world. It will change your life forever. 5.Answer the questions to the text. 1. What places do people choose for journey ? ______________________________________________________________ 2.
