Today, using the World Wide Web, we can stay at home in comfort and still travel anywhere in the world to see all the famous sights and festivals.

Task 2
Asking the Way
Nowadays, more and more people enjoy going abroad on holiday. Traveling is fun, but being lost in a foreign place is definitely not. So you should not only have some knowledge about the city where you are going to, but also learn how to ask the way.
I you want to stop someone and ask the way, the best way to get his attention is to say “excuse me.” This phrase can be used regardless of gender and age. In this way you will never make a mistake about their tittles. And it is not always correct to call man “Sir” and a woman “Madam” or “Miss”, because in different situations you may have to call them differently.
