Ex 4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct

Staying in hotels and resorts has been a traditional part of travel since the beginning of mass
tourism. But nowadays, many tourists want a more intimate experience. For this reason, they
are choosing to “go native”. This often means staying in the kinds of places that local people
inhabit. In big cities, you can try staying with the friend of a friend. You may end up sleeping
on the couch or floor, but the advantages outweigh the discomfort. The biggest plus is that
you'll be staying with a local and seeing the city from a local perspective.
Another option is house-swapping. Several websites allow you to connect with people who
want to trade living situations. It's usual to exchange emails about favourite places in the city
before the swap, meaning you can have a truly local experience. But of course, you can only do
this if you don't mind having strangers staying in your house.
For the more adventurous, staying in a native structure in an African village or a hut on the
water in Vietnam or Thailand can be a real thrill. These might not even include plumbing or
electricity, and that is part of the charm. The experience of dealing with oil lamps and carrying

water really gives you a sense of how the people live.

Ex 5. Read and decide which statements are True or False.
The English countryside has a classic image. People imagine that life in the country is slow
and calm, that there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. In some places, this is true,
but in others it is not. Small towns and villages are becoming more and more popular, people
have more space and most houses have gardens. But problems are growing. Lots of people want
to live in the country and work in the city, so more and more people travel long distances each
day to go for work. Of course they don't use buses (they are too slow) or trains (they don't stop
in the country), they use their own cars. Although they live in the country, they want to use
supermarkets and good fast roads... but they do not want to see them or hear them. Besides, lots
of young people say that life in the country is boring because there is not enough to do, there
are not enough activities and excitements. Little villages now have traffic problems in the
morning, just like big cities! And they are getting worse.

Ex 4. Dịch bài đọc:
Ở trong khách sạn và khu nghỉ dưỡng là một nét truyền thống kể từ đầu kỳ nguyên du lịch đại
chúng. Thế nhưng ngày nay nhiều du khách muốn một trải nghiệm gần gũi hơn. Vì lý do này họ
chọn “loại hình du lịch bản địa". Điều này thường có nghĩa là ở tại nơi cư trú của người dân địa
phương. Trong các thành phố lớn, bạn có thể thử ở với bạn của một người bạn. Bạn có thể phải
ngủ trên ghế dài hoặc săn nhà, nhưng có nhiều ích lợi hơn sự khó chịu. Điểm cộng lớn nhất là
bạn sẽ ở với người dân địa phương và quan sát thành phổ từ góc nhìn của dân địa phương.
Một lựa chọn khác là hoán đổi nhà. Một số trang web cho phép bạn kết nối với những người
muốn hoán đổi hồn cảnh sống. Thường có trao đổi thư điện tử về những địa điểm yêu thích
trong thành phố trước khi đổi, có nghĩa là bạn có thể có trải nghiệm địa phương thực sự. Nhưng
dĩ nhiên bạn chỉ có thể làm vậy nếu khơng bận tâm đến việc có người lạ ở trong nhà bạn.
Phiêu lưu hơn, ở trong một kiến trúc bản địa thuộc một ngôi làng châu Phi hay một túp lều trên
mặt nước ở Việt Nam hay Thái Lan có thể là một chiêm nghiệm thực sự. Ở đó thậm chí khơng
có đường ống nước hay điện, và đó chính là điều làm nên sự hấp dẫn. Trải nghiệm với đèn dầu
và gánh nước thực sự giúp bạn cảm nhận cuộc sống của con người.
Bạn thấy thiếu phiêu lưu thể nào khơng quan trọng, bạn có thể muốn cân nhắc việc gạch các
khách sạn ra khỏi danh sách. Tim hiểu cuộc sống của người địa phương là phần đáng giá nhất
của chuyến du lịch. Còn cách nào để làm điều đó tốt hơn là ở tại chính nơi ở của người địa
phương?
