Travelling Travelling gives you many 1 experiences you cannot find in your own country.
You meet local people and get to understand 2 cultures. It’s so exciting. I love
planning trips and doing some research on the country or countries I want to visit. Sometimes I
like to plan everything in advance, my flights, hotels and tours, etc. For me, the most 3
thing is arriving in a country with no hotel reservation and no fixed plans. I
prefer staying in hostels and guest houses. You get to meet and talk to different and
4 people and share information. I also like to visit places that are off the beaten
track. Being 5 with thousands of other tourists? It’s not my cup of tea.

1 one day in 1777, Joseph Montgolfier, sitting in front of the fire, noticed that one of his shirts had started to float upwards.
2 He did some experiments and came to the conclusion that smoke had the power to lift things up and carry them through the air.
3 The Montgolfier brothers quickly realised that it was heat and not smoke that had the power to lift things.
4 On 19th September 1783, they presented their first hot-air balloon, which was made from paper and cloth.
5 They burned some straw underneath it and the heat helped the balloon to float.
6 A sheep, a duck and a chicken were in the basket that hung below the balloon for the two-mile journey and they landed safe and sound.
7 Shortly afterwards, the brothers asked the king for permission to send men up in the balloon.
8 The king agreed, and the first flight consisting of human passengers took place in Paris on 21st November 1783, with great success
