are traveling in. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest
journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when it is possible. There are large liners and river boats
with which you can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant
way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four
hundred miles or only fifty miles a day, just as you like .You can stop wherever you wish: where there
is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or a hotel to
spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take
a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.

canals; it is a city full of artistic atmosphere and youthful vitality (活力). Berlin offers excellent food at
reasonable prices, bars and cafes where breakfast can be served until late into the afternoon. As people

to say that it has become an international language.
Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books
and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to
communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that
way.
It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve
your English. In addition, it will bring you a lot of fun and expand your view of the world. If you
make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often, and then
you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the
customs and habits of different cultures.
There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners, because they are not
confident about their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will
get your key words in the sentence and know the whole meaning. Therefore, it is unnecessary to
be afraid; just go ahead.
In brief, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.
B. Because English has become an international language.
C. Because you can"t make foreign friends if you can"t speak English.
D. Because it will be difficult for you to travel if you can"t speak English.
B. traveling abroad
C. attending English parties
D. reading English novels or poems
B. they become shy when they meet foreigners
C. they know little English
D. they seldom speak English with foreigners
