TRAVELING

Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the
need to travel. It may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can
often take a long time, especially when great distances need to be covered.
People often enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But for some people travelling
is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness. This means that they
will become very unwell each time they travel.

Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you
want to travel and the choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything
as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle can be hard
work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances. Cars and motorcycles
are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is
needed for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to
travel, the more expensive and time consuming it will be.

The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances.
A pilot will fly a plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people
to places far away. Although traffic is rarely a problem for airplanes, it can take
a lot of preparation to travel by plane. People often need to arrive at the airport
three hours prior to departure.

A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances
within the same country, or between countries which are connected by land. A
train driver will stop at train stations on route to allow passengers wishing to
proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.
A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often
depart from a harbour in a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a
long distance, people may choose to sleep on the ferry while they wait to arrive
at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for their holiday,
which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of
time. People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any
transport at all. People often rely on their legs to take them to places nearby.
This is often encouraged as certain modes of transport have been said to produce
harmful emissions and damage the environment.

Desempeño 22: Prepare una presentación oral acerca de la siguiente lectura

acerca de economía:
 The struggling Spanish economy

Spain's borrowing costs shot up at a bond auction on Thursday, after economic

data confirmed the country is back in recession and reports of an outflow of
deposits from nationalized Bankia hammered its share price.

The Spanish Treasury had to pay around 5 percent to attract buyers of three-
and four-year bonds. The longer-dated paper sold with a yield of 5.106
percent, way above the 3.374 percent the last time it was auctioned.

"This ... fits the pattern of recent sales, with the Spanish treasury successfully
getting its supply away but at ever-higher yields," said Richard McGuire, rate
strategist at Rabobank in London.

"This unfavorable trend looks set to remain firmly in place ... Ultimately, this
ratcheting up of yields will likely require some form of outside intervention,"
McGuire said.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Wednesday his government,

struggling to reduce its budget deficit, could soon find it difficult to fund itself
affordably on the bond market unless the pressure eases.

His finance minister, Cristobal Montoro, meets heads of finance of all 17

regions later to review their budget plans which are a crucial plank of the drive
to lower public debt.

The European Commission warned last week that stubbornly high debts in the
regions and the welfare system would prevent Spain meeting its deficit goal of
5.3 percent of GDP this year.

Spain's 10-year yields have spiked back above 6 percent, which investors view
as a pivot point that could accelerate a climb to 7 percent, a cost of borrowing
widely seen as unsustainable even though Madrid has sold well over half its
debt needs for the year.
