Strategies and useful tips

  • Recommended time to fulfil is 10 minutes!
  • First thing you need to do is to read the titles very carefully and translate them. Try to keep them in mind while doing the task.
  • You don't need to read all the texts very carefully. Your aim is to understand the main idea.
  • Most often key information can be found in the very first and last sentences of the texts.
  • The heading must be the one that best covers the main topic, so you need to make sure that the heading you have chosen fits the meaning of the whole mini text and doesn't just simply use some of the same words.
  • Very often you will not find the same words in the texts and titles, so pay attention to synonyms.
  • If necessary highlight the keywords in the texts.
  • Remember! There is one extra title that you do not use.

A. A packaged holiday is a type of travel when all the facilities are included in the price. Usually, the travel company organises a tour covering all the expenses and the tourist pays only the fixed price. The main advantage of a package tour is that you do not need to worry about accommodation, transport tickets or food. Besides, they are cheaper than arranging everything by oneself.

B. When people want to experience wildlife in the flesh, they may choose to go on a safari tour. A safari gives you an opportunity to track wild animals and marvel at their beauty and power. However, it can be dangerous because even a guide doesn't know how wild animals can behave themselves when they see people in the distance. So, sometimes it is a great survival game.

C. A cruise liner is a big ship with everything you may need during the tour aboard. Shops, restaurants, nightclubs, bars open work almost day and night and offer the best deals for their clients. If a family travels with children, they may ask the personnel of the ship to look after their kids in the special playground while parents shop or enjoy a meal in a cafe. Some luxurious liners have swimming pools and gyms to do sports and be in good shape.

D. There are many things a traveller should take into account before setting off on a journey. Booking flights and hotels, planning excursions and choosing places to eat can be stressful. Money matters are also important as travellers should know the money exchange rate of the country they go to. A possible language barrier can be a problem too. The best advice for them is to address a good travel agent who can recommend the best deals.

E. Travelling is the emotional remedy for your soul. Perhaps, no one could doubt that fact. When people travel, they forget about their problems, get new emotions, explore interesting places. It is like recharging your inner batteries. This may make you healthier and happier. Of course, to spend a week on the sea coast is not enough to relieve stress and anxiety. Specialists say that one should have at least a month of travel experience or changing of locations to feel better.

F. Plane journeys can be very tiring and exhausting. Some flights may last for 8 or 12 hours when a plane crosses different time zones. It may be the cause of jet lag. Jet lag is associated with the condition of physical tiredness after a long plane journey to a place where the time is different. To recover from jet lag requires several days of adjustment upon return.

G. People have become more mobile these days. A trip between two distant cities can last for just a few hours due to the appearance of high-speed trains. One of the most popular high-speed trains in Russia is called "Sapsan" or "Peregrine Falcon". "Sapsan" trains run regularly connecting major cities in Russia—Moscow. St Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and a few stops in between. "Sapsan" trains are very comfortable. All cars are equipped with adjustable seats, an individual reading light, and foldable tables. There is also a special Dining car for those who want to have a drink or a meal during their journey.
