Відповісти True / False на питання до тексту нижче Over 300 million people take holidays abroad every year, and a recent survey has shown that they would rather cut back spending on food and clothing than spend less on holidays. Choosing the ideal holiday is not always easy, but in this day and age there is a wide range of choice, and you should be able to find something to suit your taste and pocket.
Some people like planning their holiday independently, while others prefer to book a package. It depends on where you’re going, how much money you have, and whether you’re travelling alone, or with friends or family.
The obvious advantage of a package holiday is that it’s simple to organize. You book the holiday through a travel agent, and transport, insurance and accommodation are all arranged for you. All you have to do is pay the bill. If you take an independent holiday, on the other hand, you can spend a lot of time and a small fortune checking complicated timetables, chasing cheap flights, and trying to make hotel booking in a language you can’t even speak. What is more, package holidays are often incredibly cheap. For the price of a suit, you can have a fortnight in a foreign resort, including accommodation, meals, and air travel. A similar independent holiday, however, can work out much more expensive.
Yet the advantages of planning your holiday yourself are considerable. You are free to choose exactly where and when you want to go, how you want to travel, and how long you want to stay. You can avoid the large resorts, whereas holiday-makers on package tours are often trapped among crowds of other tourists. You can eat the food of the region at reasonable prices in local restaurants, while they are served with “international” dishes and chips with everything. Besides, although package holidays are usually extremely good value for money, they are not always cheaper. If you’re willing to take a little trouble, you may be able to save money by fixing up a foreign holiday yourself.
All things considered, I would prefer to plan my holiday independently. In my view, it’s safer to do it yourself!

Global Problems of Today
People have lived on our planet Earth for centuries and global problems have always existed. In ancient times the biggest global problem was wars. People have been fighting with each other since the beginning of the civilisation mostly to get new territories and more land. Later, fighting the distance was another global problem, too, before the discovery of the plane. Today, there are more global problems which can be divided into two categories: ecological problems and social, eco¬nomic and political issues.
The first category includes issues relating to ecological destruction, pollution and global warming as the result. The climate is changing and many people agree that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Many people think that a rise in temperature of about three or four degrees is not very much, but the effects are worse than it seems at first sight. Global warming has already killed off some types of animals and plants. There have been more and more heat waves in the summer, with many people dying in big cities. Rising sea levels are threatening whole nations on low-lying islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The second category of global problems deals with social, economic and political issues. They include global terrorism, poverty, human rights, health issues, racism and many others.
We are faced with the problem of global terrorism and more and more countries are suffering from it. It is difficult to catch terrorists and prevent their acts. The most terrible terrorist attack took place on September 11, 2001 in the USA. The World Trade Centre, the pride of all Americans and one of the symbols of New York City, was destroyed completely and thousands of people died. The world was shocked and most countries decided to fight against terrorism. However, new terrorist attacks have been committed. Many innocent people still get killed and nobody can stop terrorists.
Poverty is another global problem. It may seem surprising, but most of humanity lives on just a few dollars a day now. The worst situation is in Africa where people (mostly children) die every day of hunger because they have nothing to eat. The poor also have less access to health, education and other services. Problems of hunger, malnutrition and diseases affect the poorest in society.
Another global problem is racism, when people of different races and different skin colour are humiliated and even killed. There are many organisations that fight social global problems, but this battle has lasted for a long time and it will take much time for the solution of all of them.
We live in the 21st century and humanity has made a great progress in technology, so I think that it is strange that we still have global problems, especially the ones that deal with social, economic and political issues. I am sure that they can be solved completely without any conflicts or wars.

Привет, Рой! жаль, что твои родители заставляют тебя. Попробуй, может быть тебе понравится играть на скрипке. Я бы хотел(а) научиться играть на барабанах, но у меня к сожалению нет на это времени. Я не расстраиваюсь так как родители купили мне простую барабанную установку и почти каждую ночь я тренируюсь на ней.Я обожаю Бадди Рич, он великолепен. у него шикарная техника игры на барабанах и хорошо известные перфомансы. его скорость и гладкое исполнение, стало стандартом в игре на барабанах. Один из его трюков - пересекающиеся движения рук во время барабанной дроби. всегда хотел(а) так научиться.В основном гуляю с друзьями или провожу время с семьей, еще мне нравится смотреть музыкальные концерты, конкретно наблюдать за людьми, которые играют на барабанах. порой мне кажется, что барабанщики - мастера своего дела и никогда  не ошибаются.Теперь жду новостей от тебя, Рой. Пока.

Hey, Roy! I'm sorry your parents made you. Try it, maybe you'll like playing the violin. I would like to learn how to play drums, but unfortunately I don't have time for that. I am not upset because my parents bought me a simple drum kit and almost every night I train on it.I love buddy rich, he's gorgeous. he's got a great technique of drumming and well-known performances. its speed and smooth performance have become the standard in drumming. One of his tricks is the overlapping hand movements during the drum roll. always wanted to (and) so learn to.Basically, I walk with friends or spend time with my family, I also like to watch music concerts, specifically watch the people who play drums. sometimes I think drummers - masters of their craft and are never wrong.I'm waiting to hear from you now, Roy. Bye.
