III Reading
Travelling is an exciting experience that can open up new horizons and create unforgettable
memories. However, before embarking on a journey, it's important to make travel arrangements
to ensure a safe and comfortable trip.
One way to make travel arrangements is through a travel agent. A travel agent can help you plan
your itinerary, book flights and accommodation, and provide you with valuable information
about your destination. They can also offer advice on travel insurance and visa requirements.
Another option is to browse travel brochures, which provide detailed information about
different destinations, activities, and accommodations.
When booking flights, it's important to pay attention to the details of your return journey,
including the date, time, and airline. It's also important to arrive at the airport early and follow
the instructions of the staff, such as when to fasten seatbelts and when to turn off electronic
devices. Domestic flights are often shorter than international ones, but they still require careful
planning and preparation.
Before departing on a journey, it's important to wish someone a safe journey. This phrase is a
polite way of expressing your concern for someone's well-being while travelling. You can also
say 'have a good trip' or 'bon voyage'.
In conclusion, making travel arrangements is an essential part of any journey. Whether you
choose to use a travel agent or browse travel brochures, it's important to pay attention to the
details of your itinerary and to follow the instructions of airport staff. Wishing someone a safe
journey is a polite way of expressing your concern for their well-being while travelling.
