Many people like travelling by plane, but I don't like it because airports are usually far from cities. You have to get there early and w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. Planes are fast, b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} it still takes hours to check in(办登机手续) and get out of the airport.

I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railways stations are usually in cities. When you are l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the window. You can see many interesting things on your way, too. 

I a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}like cars. You can start your journey(旅程) when you want to, and you don't need to get to the railway station or a bus stop. You can also carry many things with you. But sometimes there is a traffic j{#blank#}5{#/blank#} on the road and you will feel you're wasting time on the road.

Would you like to visit Britain(英国)one day? Our country would like to welcome you!

Overseas travel can be expensive. But there are ways of visiting Britain cheaply. We hope that we can give you some good ideas.

When to come?

If you can avoid(避免)the busy months----July and August, your visit will becheaper.

There will be smaller numbers of visitors. British weather is pleasant from April to the end of September. Ofcourse,you can visit it in winter, but it is often dark by 4 p.m. Many places, such as large houses and castles(城堡),are closed early in winter. However, if you want to visitmuseums,or theaters,winter may be a good time to visit.

Be prepared.

If you are a student, it's a good idea to have an International Student Id Card(国际学生身份证).With this card, you can save a lot of money. You can get the card from your local student traveloffice,and you can also call(44)-08708-41324 to get it. To get the card, you need to show that you are a student, get a passport photo, and pay a little money.
