Speaker A the reason I love to travel is that it broadens my knowledge of people, places and cultures.0:03
Every time I go abroad, I try to learn as much as I can about the local people, their language and their traditions and customs.0:11
I tend to stay away from the main tourist areas and I try to use the local language as much as I can.0:18
Speaker B the biggest benefit of going abroad for me is the sunshine.0:25
It's a way to escape from the dreary British winter.0:31
Where I live, we're lucky if we see two weeks of sunshine a year.0:35
The rest of the time it's cloudy or rainy or both.0:39
I like to visit hot countries and just relax in the sunshine.0:43
I like to sunbathe and come home with a great tan.0:48
Speaker I'm very interested in history, so the benefit of travelling for me is the chance to visit ancient ruins and actually go to the places where great events of the past took place.0:54
For instance, I've been to Egypt and visited the Great Pyramid to see for myself this great wonder of the ancient world.1:08
I've also been to Rome to see the Colosseum and to China to see the Great Wall.1:17
Speaker D I like to go places where I can do unique activities that I just wouldn't have the chance to do at home.1:24
I would like to go skiing in the Swiss Alps, scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, or swimming with the dolphins in Florida and so on.1:33
I haven't done all these things yet, but I will.1:42
For me, travelling is all about doing something different.1:46
Speaker E When I go on holiday, I love having someone else cook, clean and look after things while I relax and unwind.1:51
I travel first class and book myself into a luxury five star hotel and then I indulge myself.2:01
My food is prepared for me, my room is kept clean and tidy, someone brings me a drink when I want it and I pamper myself.2:09
I work hard all year so I think I deserve it.2:18
Speaker F I suppose I'm lucky because my wife and I are both retired now, so we can go on holiday whenever we like.2:24
That's a good thing for us because we both love cruising and prices vary a lot depending on the time of year.2:32
The reason we like it so much is because you get everything excellent accommodation and food as well as fantastic entertainment.2:38
