I would like to start my presentation  by the quote of St Augustine

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

(St. Augustine)

I am convinced that traveling is just as important to becoming a well-informed member of society as attending a university.

I think that some of us believe this almost instinctively: we say to ourselves that of course travel is educational. Of course its worth the time, effort, and even the great expense necessary to accomplish significant travel time. Some people, however, are not convinced.

« minded, more content with life and its hardships but also more passionate about easing the hardships of others.

Слайд 6 I e ncourage travel to as many destinations as possible for the sake of education as well as for pleasure.

It's necessary to see other lands and experience other cultures.

Traveling increases the perception that the world is populated by people who not only speak differently but whose cultures and philosophies are other than your own.

Perhaps travel can't prevent bigotry but by demonstrating that all people cry, eat, worry, die, laugh it can introduce the idea that if we try to understand each other we may even become friends.

Слайд 7 To my mind the main purpose of traveling is studying the way of life, cultures of other people, observing people's relationships, different historical monuments and many -many other.

Traveling also is a splendid way of communicatio n and making new friends because we are more alike than unalike .

Perhaps the great disadvantage of tour -programs is the thing that we are allowed to see only what the organizers want us to see and no more.

That makes, somehow, our opinion traditional and narrow.

We have no opportunity to formulate our own opinion according to our experience.

The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotype.

We don't see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we ha ve been made up to believe they are.

We are all similar to each other but at the same time unique .

Слайд 8 “ A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – T im Cahill Слайд 9 The world around you is amazing! It's beautiful and we have the oppo rtunity to do whatever we desire .

The big blue sky with the sun's rays shining through fluffy clouds.

Mountains which reach the sky like a stairway to heaven.

Travelling and exploring new places is an incredible experience.. »
