ADVICE TO
TRAVELLERS
1.
Before
(beginning your journey),
make sure you have all the necessary travel documents with you. You do not want
to
(return home) when you are halfway to
the station because you have forgotten your passport, and then reach the station
just as your train is
(leaving). Some friends
of
mine had to
(cancel) their
holiday after making that mistake !!
2.
It is always pleasant if friends give you a lift to the airport or railway
station and
(say goodbye to you there). But if
you want to be
sure of
(leaving) on time, it is
better to ask a taxi to
(collect you).
3.
If you are driving abroad, be even more careful than usual on the road. If you
accidentally
(crash into) another car, or
(hit) a pedestrian, it will ruin your
holiday !!
4.
Air passengers must be prepared to
(wait doing
nothing) at airports. You usually
have to
(register) about two hours
before the plane
(leaves the ground).
5.
If you are
(aiming at) a distant
destination, Hong Kong for example, it is exciting to
(break your journey) for a few days somewhere on the way, like
Delhi.
