如何做一個成功的旅行者

內容介紹

How to be a Successful Traveller is one in a series of five books. There are seven chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of travelling. There are several different sections in each chapter, and some will probably be more interesting and relevant to you than others. There is no need to read every section. I hope you will find it all interesting and entertaining, and that your reading of English will improve as well as your travelling.

★Indicates that there is a question you should think about on your own.

★Indicates that if you are reading the book with another person you should talk about this particular question with him or her.

You may be reading the book while studying English in a class, with a teacher, or you may be reading it at home in the evenings, or on a train, or anywhere else-it doesn't matter!

What I do hope is that you enjoy reading about travel and travelling-in English!
