Чтение на английском - Paul and Greta |
Since the day Greta came into his life Paul has had no time to feel lonely. After their unforgettable trip by Eurostar train to Paris Paul and Greta spend every weekend together. Greta is such a wonder! Whenever Paul sees her, his spirits rise. But the thine-1 he loves most about Greta is that you don't have to make yourself out to be a big man. She just takes you as you are, with all your bad points as well as good. And what a good traveling companion she is! With Greta at his side Paul could go anywhere!
His most cherished dream has always been to visit the United States of America. There's so much to do, see and discover there. The trip is rather expensive, so Paul can't afford it at the moment. But someday he'll make it! In his mind Paul can already see himself riding a cable car in San Francisco, winning a fortune in the casinos of Las Vegas and walking with the stars along Hollywood Boulevard. What an exciting trip it is going to be! He'll have an opportunity to see both spectacular Grand Canyon and the wonderful world of Disneyland, to say nothing of Universal Studios in Florida, the largest working film and television production studio outside Hollywood. He'll enjoy is breathtaking views from the Pacific Coast highway and see a lot of other places, big and small, each with its own character. Paul is going to get the most out of his holiday and] experience the special atmosphere of the Golden West.
As far as Paul knows, Transatlantic Airways offers another way to explore America — "East Coast fly-drive" from Boston. It's the perfect way to see the land of the motel and the freeway: America is made for drivers. American cars are easy to drive, big, I comfortable, and the petrol is much cheaper than in Europe. You book your first night's accommodation in a hotel near the airport and they deliver your car in the morning. Then you are as free as a bird. To the southeast of Boston are the rocky cliffs j and sandy beaches of beautiful Cape Cool, ideal for swimming, sailing and fishing the north is New Hampshire with its great valleys, white churches and infinite verity of wildflowers. You can drive either west across New York State to Niagara Falls south through the beautiful hills of Connecticut to a coastline of resort towns and fishing ports. True, the journey is quite tiring for a person at the wheel but if Greta chooses to keep Paul company, they can take it in turn to drive, so the distances won't seem too long. Neither he nor Greta has ever gone on a trip like that. It will be the chance of a lifetime. How can you miss it? Driving a car won't be a problem. Paul loves it. The thing he really hates is flying. He prefers trains. Paul doesn't even remember the last time he travelled by plane. In his opinion trains are much better than planes: they are cheaper, safer and more comfortable. You can walk around, look out the window, get 35 off at the stops to stretch your legs and eat the food you like. Yes, trains are slower but speed isn't everything after all. Comfort and safety are much more important. And to top it all you won't suffer from jet lag. But this time Paul has no choice. Whether he likes it or not, he'll have to take the plane. He doesn't know when he'll save up enough money to pay his travelling expenses. But he is sure that sooner or later his dream will come true. As they say, nothing is impossible to a willing heart!
