TRAVEL

Text for dictation:______

Students often manage to travel long distances on very limited budgets 預算. The secret is to find cheap travel, food and accommodation 住宿.

In the 1960s, British students did this through hitch-hiking  塔便車旅行 and youth hostelling 住青年招待所.It can still be done today, though drivers are much more reluctant 不情願的 to offer lifts 順便塔載 to strangers.

Youth hostels are also more expensive as they tend to 傾向 offer a greater level of comfort. Hostellers used to 過去一向 carry their own sheet sleeping bags and would expect to sleep in bunk beds, often within large single sex dormitories 大寢室. A long walk to one of few outside toilets was not uncommon.

Today, other possibilities 可能性 present themselves to people living near one of Britain's international airports. The cost of international rail travel has become prohibitive, but hopping around Europe on charter flights can be done very cheaply. The chief 主要的 snag 障礙 is finding reasonably priced accommodation when you arrive at your destination.
