Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts. It is an exciting, crowded, modern city and at the same
time, a city that is full of history. The streets of Bangkok are usually noisy and crowded with people. Some are selling
food, other selling clothing, cassette tapes, flowers, or souvenirs. Visitors love the river markets, the beautiful temples and
architecture, and the nightlife. They also enjoy the food, the shopping, and the friendly Thai people. Everyone seems to
smile there.
Most of the year, Bangkok is hotter than any other capital city in Asia, but from December to February, the
weather is cooler and much more comfortable. Actually, it is an interesting city to visit at any time of the year. The
shopping is excellent, and the price is cheaper than in many other large cities in south-east Asia.
There is always plenty to do in Bangkok any time of the day or night from watching Thai dancing or boxing to
taking a boat trip on the river or trying some of the delicious and spicy food. And if you get tired of the city and the traffic,
there are beautiful beaches only two hours away by bus.

TRAVEL NARROWS THE MIND
Is your journey really necessary? John Rentoul makes the case against travel and tourism.
I do not understand the modem fashion for long-distance travel. O f course, there was once an evolutionary advantage
to it all; people moved around in the search for food and better living conditions. But now we do so without a purpose.
We travel thousands of miles to get to the other side of the world, and then two weeks later we come back again. What
for? To see the sights... and make a mess of them? To get to know other cultures? You must be joking.
The instinct to explore has been exhausted. Humans have been everywhere, done everything. They have climbed to
the top of Everest so often the summit resembles a rubbish dump. Driven by their genes to invent ever more absurd
frontiers to cross, the sort of people who might once have trekked across the Rocky Mountains are now chartering jets
so they can freefall parachute over Antarctica.
This restlessness and our ever increasing desire to travel long distances is disastrous for the environment. Air travel burns
up unimaginable quantities of fuel and is the most energy-hungry thing that people can do. It is a scandal that aviation fuel

for international flights is not taxed. If the governments of the world could agree to do something about it, they would
have a permanent source of income - and put the brakes on the fastest-growing source of global warming gases.
As for the idea that travel broadens the mind, widens people's horizons and promotes international understanding, this is
just nonsense. You can only really learn anything about foreign countries by living and working in them and I applaud
those who do it. It is tourism I object to, and especially the desire to go to the remotest, wildest and often poorest places in
the world and build four-star hotels in them. It does not do the local people much good: the hotels are all owned by
foreign companies and only 30 percent of the profits stay in the country. Instead, it encourages the demand for Coca-Cola
and McDonalds and accelerates the homogenization of world culture. Go abroad and do exactly what you do at home.
But it is not just travel to remote places which is unwise. Even in the United Kingdom, there is no way I would travel
long distances by car. As with air travel, statistics may tell US that motorways are not dangerous; but no one can tell me
that it is safe for people to be hurtling along within feet of each other at more than 70 miles per hour If you have to travel
long distances, the only civilized way is by train. Next summer, as you hold on to your seat nervously during take-off, and
prepare yourself for a week or two of jet lag and sunburn, think of me, enjoying uninterrupted sleep on the overnight train
to Glasgow.
1.Why does the author sav about the Fashion for long-distance travel?
A It enables US to understand other cultures. B There is no longer any point to it.
C It helps us to relax.
D It takes up a lot of time.
2 Why do people do things such as freefall parachuting in Antarctica, according to the author?
A They are trying to solve personal problems. B They feel the need for greater challenges,
C It is safer than climbing mountains.
D They want to go trekking in isolated places.
3 Why, according to the author, should aviation fuel he taxed?
A It would ultimately help reduce pollution.
B It would enable governments to buy more fuel,
C It would help governments stay in power.
D Other types of fuel are taxed
4. What does the author mean when he savs that tourism 'accelerates the homogenization of world
culture’?
A Everyone is eating fast food. B People are rapidly becoming the same wherever vou go.

C People in remote places are becoming poorer. D The pace of life is speeding up.
5 What does the author feel about road travel?
A Distances are too long. B Motorways are safe
C. Other countries are safer than the United Kingdom.
D Driving can be dangerous.

A Natural Wonder
When I was asked to visit and write about the Great Barrier Reef, I was thrilled. I had heard reports of damage
done by tourism and other industries, but felt that the Reef would still be a wonderful place to see.
From the air, the Great Barrier Reef seems huge.
I wasn’t sure how best to explore such a giant
place, so after I had landed, I made enquiries and was told the best way to see the Reef is to take a dive cruise. I booked


a place on a three-day cruise, and, despite warnings about the state of some of these boats, the boat I was on was
comfortable and clean.
I was entitled to eight dives plus use of wet suit, flippers and other equipment,
three meals a day and two nights’ accommodation.
Although I have been diving before, I am not an experienced diver.
I was nervous to begin with, but
soon felt completely safe. We were divided into groups according to our ability and each group was given an instructor.
They had very strict rules
.
With our guides, we saw some amazing sea life including small sharks, crabs and thousands of colourful tropical
fish swimming around in the coral. The other divers were friendly and the evenings on board were very pleasant.
While I was at the Great Barrier Reef, it became perfectly clear from the conservation programmes I came across,
that the damage I had heard about had been done.
Environmental groups have done much to stop this
damage, but sadly it continues.
Despite this, the Great Barrier Reef is a wonderful place to go. For me at least it is one of the most significant
natural wonders our earth has to offer.
