Travelling: means of transport
I always travel in summer. Do you? I like to travel and forget about school. As I know, people started traveling many years ago. The first travelers were explorers. They traveled because they wanted to find adventures and to become wealthy and famous. Their trips were dangerous, but they wanted to discover the new lands. Today traveling isn`t so dangerous and it is more convenient. The tourist companies take care of tickets and make all the necessary reservations. While traveling around the world you can choose different means of transport: trains, ships, planes or bicycles. I think that the fastest and the most convenient way of traveling is by air. However, it is the most expensive. Trains are slower than planes, but this way of traveling has its advantages. Modern trains are very comfortable besides, you can see the interesting places of the country you are traveling through. The main advantages of planes and trains are safety, comfort and speed. That is the reason why most people prefer them to other means of transport. Nowadays traveling by sea has become very popular. You can visit other countries or various places of interest within the country when you travel by ship or boat.
My favorite way of travelling is travelling by car. I believe it is very convenient. I don’t need to make any reservations or carry heavy suitcases. I can stop whenever I wish and spend as much time as I wish at any place.

1. check-in with your doctor and insurance carrier. double check and make sure that you have all of the proper vaccinations and that you have renewed all essential prescriptions. also, ask you medical insurance provider if your policy applies overseas for emergencies. if it doesn’t, and you want to add extra coverage, consider supplemental insurance.

2. bring copies of your passport. if your passport gets stolen or lost you want to be sure that you can still get back into the country, or be able to prove your citizenship.

Today, the Internet is available in almost every home. On the Internet, you can find a lot of very useful information for study or for something else. Many people watch movies on the Internet and play games. Also, you can find work or even new friends on the Internet. The Internet helps to keep in touch with relatives and friends who live far away.

Also, the Internet will help those who like to read, but do not have the opportunity to often buy new books.

On the one hand, the Internet is very useful because it contains a lot of different information. Everything that interests you can be found on the Internet. But sometimes, the internet becomes evil and can be harmful. If a person spends too much time on the Internet, then they may not be able to keep up with other things. Therefore, you need to control the time spent on the Internet. Still, many people spend time on the Internet instead of walking with friends on the street. This is probably why my parents do not allow me to spend all my free time on the Internet.

But, nevertheless, the advantages of the Internet are much more than disadvantages. There are many useful websites that help you in your studies. Also, personally, I really like to communicate on the Internet with those who have similar hobbies. For example, I love taking pictures and that's why I registered on several sites of amateur photographers. Site members post their work, give tips and help to beginners.

So, the Internet is an excellent assistant in many situations, you just need to be able to find information. Also, it is important not to put the Internet first and not to forget about real communication and sports.

перевод:

Сегодня, интернет есть почти в каждом доме. В интернете можно найти много очень полезной информации для учебы или для чего-нибудь другого. Многие люди смотрят в интернете фильмы и играют в игры. Также, в интернете можно найти работу или даже новых друзей. Интернет не терять связь с родственниками и друзьями, которые живут далеко. Благодаря интернету с ними можно связаться в любую минуту. Мама очень часто готовит вкусные блюда, которые нашла в интернете. Еще, интернет и тем, кто любит читать, но не имеет возможности часто покупать новые книги.

С одной стороны – интернет является очень полезным, потому что содержит очень много разной информации. В интернете можно найти все, что интересует. Но иногда, интернет становится злом и может принести вред. Если человек проводит в интернете слишком много времени, то может не успевать с остальными делами. Поэтому, нужно контролировать время, которое проводится за интернетом. Еще, очень многие проводят время в интернете вместо того, чтобы погулять с друзьями на улице. Наверное, именно поэтому, родители не разрешают мне проводить за интернетом все свободное время.

Но, все-таки преимуществ у интернета намного больше, чем недостатков. Есть очень много полезных сайтов, которые в учебе. Еще, лично мне, очень нравится общаться в интернете с теми, у кого похожие увлечения. Например, я люблю фотографировать и поэтому зарегистрировалась на нескольких сайтах фотолюбителей. Участники сайта выкладывают свои работы, подсказывают и новичкам.

Так что, интернет является отличным во многих ситуациях, нужно только уметь находить информацию. Также, важно не ставить интернет на первое место и не забывать о реальном общении и о занятиях спортом.
