[03:37.50]Passage Holidays
[03:44.65]"Package Holidays" are becoming more and more popular.
[03:52.41]That is the sort of holiday many people are going on.
[03:58.16]A travel agency has chartered the plane they are going to travel in,
[04:04.82]reserved the hotel rooms they will stay in and even ordered the food they will eat.
[04:12.08]That is why it is called a package holiday.
[04:17.75]Such holidays are usually rather cheap.
[04:23.08]That is probably why they are so popular. But not every-body likes them.
[04:30.84]Some people say you do not see very much of the country you go to.
[04:37.60]Some young people are going abroad,too.
[04:42.88]But they are not going on a pack-age holiday.
[04:47.84]And their holiday will not be very expensive,either.
[04:53.62]They will prob-ably walk most of the way.
[04:58.37]Sometimes they will get"lifts" in trucks of cars.
[05:04.82]They will stay in youth hostels.
[05:09.39]Sometimes they will even sleep in parks or fields.
[05:15.45]That is how a lot of young people see the world these days.
