Travelling

18. Describe tourist attraction you have visited. Say where you went there, why you want (? ) with, when (? ).
Say why you liked it. Did you like it so much?

¹I would like to tell you about traveling in our life and, particularly, about tourist attraction I have visited.

²To begin with, it should be noted that travelling is very popular nowadays. ³Travelling allows you to get interesting experience, learn about people’s life in other countries and continents. ⁴In my opinion, it`s very interesting to discover new things, new places and different ways of life.

⁵One of the most beautiful cities that I have visited 3 times is Moscow. ⁶This city is famous for its sights. ⁷The heart of Moscow is the Kremlin and Red Square. ⁸You can see Spasskaya Tower and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. ⁹There are some popular viewing points such as Ostankinskaya Tower — the highest building in Europe and Sparrow Hills. ¹⁰Visiting these places you can enjoy the beauty of Moscow panorama. ¹¹So, I really liked this trip.

¹²It should be noted that nowadays we can travel in different ways — by car, by train, by ship, by plane. ¹³As for me, I prefer to travel by train. ¹⁴I haven`t car. <sup>15</sup>And I don`t prefer travelling by plane because I have had problems with jet lag since my childhood. ¹⁶But the main reason is that some passengers can be specific – so, they can even attack to stewardesses – basically because of drinking alcohol. ¹⁷And, of course, it annoys people and disturbs them to rest.

¹⁸Besides, I prefer travelling in organized groups, particularly, with my parents and friends, because it`s safe and funny. ¹⁹And you can have well-planned trip.

²⁰But unfortunately, there are a lot of nasty factors that can spoil trip. ²¹And because of it travelling isn`t always happy, because some passengers become not discoverers, but criminals.

²²It should be noted that the aggressive passengers are becoming a world-wide problem. ²³Every time when a cabin crew is forced to bring someone off, there are safety issues. ²⁴And cabin crews in some airlines are wanting to retire early at 50 because of their stressful work.

²⁵I`d like to emphasize that the cause of most passengers` misbehavior is stress connected with mass travels. ²⁶As for other reasons, it should mention alcohol drinking, smoking and changes in society`s views on technologies and authority.

²⁷It should be noted that, besides, a personality of a person is a reason of passengers` misbehavior, because all depends on the concrete person. <sup>28</sup>And I`d like to emphasize that, surely, it`s necessary to fight this negative phenomenon. <sup>29</sup>Firstly, in my opinion, a special equipment should be set in airport hall, and it shouldn`t allow to flight drunken passengers. ³⁰Secondly, perhaps, it should check passengers` mental health by means of showing reference from psychiatrist. ³¹And, finally, thirdly, I believe that maybe it should even blacklist of all airlines a person committing this offense.

³²So, I`m an introvert, and I travel not so often. ³³At the same time, I like travelling to meet new people. ³⁴However, Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist of the 19th - the middle of the 20th century, identified 2 personality types which he called extroverts and introverts. ³⁵Extroverts are open-minded to the surrounding world. ³⁶And as for introverts, they are not so sociable and find meaning in themselves.

³⁷As a rule, extroverts are often leaders in groups. ³⁸Introverts, vice versa, feel comfortable alone. ³⁹They have a lot of emotions, but they are hidden inside. ⁴⁰Besides, they often have creative ideas, and they have good abilities in planning.

⁴¹And, in my opinion, both extroverts and introverts can be clever, intelligent and strong-willed.

⁴²It should be noted that, as for nowadays, psychologists became very interested in such feature of a personality as charisma. ⁴³Charisma is a kind of magic, and it's rare enough. ⁴⁴It should be noted that charisma makes its possessors more successful and gives them additional bonuses. ⁴⁵So, it affords people to influence strongly on their surroundings. ⁴⁶Charismatic people are often brilliant communicators. ⁴⁷And, of course, people feel happy in the company of charismatic personalities.

⁴⁸I can give such examples of famous people possessing this quality of personality as, for instance, Oprah Winfrey, the famous presenter of a very popular talk show. ⁴⁹She became one of the richest women in the world thanks to her charisma. ⁵⁰Also it's of great interest that Marilyn Monroe, the film star, had so great charisma that Di Maggio, her husband, said about her: «It's no fun being married to an electric light.»

⁵¹I'd like to emphasize that, unlike fame, charisma doesn't fade and disappear over time. ⁵²In my opinion, every person has a charisma, and it may be developed, but more often extroverts possess a charisma.

⁵³To sum up, it should be noted that, of course, not only extroverts, but introverts too can possess charisma. ⁵⁴I can give such examples as Michael Vrubel, a painter, Alexander Block, a poet, or, perhaps, Michael Dell, a founder « Dell » company producing computers. ⁵⁵So, introversion and shyness of these people didn't interrupt them to develop their talents and become successful, outstanding and famous personalities.

I`d like to emphasize that we should develop our personality constantly. Particularly, it`s very important to get education, because, certainly, it expands our horizon. In this connection we should mention Maria Montessori, a famous Italian educationalist, whose method of teaching has influenced people all over the world.

I`d like to emphasize that human progress is possible only through education. ( Текст про высшее образование и lifelong learning – с 25 предложения и до конца).
