Day 15——Work and life 工作與生活（口語部分）

Passage Reading 段落朗讀

Tourism was one of the fastest growing social and economic phenomena of the last century, and there is no sign of slowdown in the current century. The number of tourists, both those who travel internationally and domestically, will continue to increase, and they will come from a wider range of socio-economic groups than at present. The geographic spread of tourism will widen. Nearly all parts of the world will be made accessible to visitors and will be sought by visitors.

Increases in leisure time, cheaper travel, and rising curiosity about other lands, people and ways of life promise a bright future for tourist industry. For developing countries, struggling to raise the living standards of their people and faced with the problems of competing with the developed nations in the fields of manufacturing and trade, tourism offers the hope of economic stability and a better future for their citizens.

Compared with other industries, tourism is thought of as a “smokeless industry” by many nations. Its positive impacts are self-evident. To begin with, the economic effects of tourism can be categorized into four groups: the effects on income, on employment, and on investment and development. Income in general comes from wages and salaries. The tourist industry is a major provider of employment. It can be seen from the jobs found in travel agencies, tour operators and other intermediaries supplying services in the generation areas. The evidence of the last economic effect can be summarized in this way: if tourism to an area increases, rapid success and expansion may lead to yet more investment in both tourism and other industries in that area by businessmen and government.

正文：The Advantages and Disadvantages of Traveling Alone

Nowadays with the rapid development of our life standard than the past years, traveling around our country or abroad has been more and more popular among us. Thus people have to make choices between traveling all alone or with their companies.

There are both advantages and disadvantages of travelling alone. As for advantages, I think there could be fewer disturbances for deciding where to go and what to eat next. One may be freer during the travel than guiding by others all the way, and enjoy the leisure time fully and quietly.

As for disadvantages, one may run into difficulties while travelling and then find there is no one trustful enough to rely on.

 In my opinion, the advantages of travelling with family members or friends instead of being alone are certainly more obvious. As we all know, teenagers like us are so far not physically strong enough or financially independent to travel only by ourselves.
