Text 3. Some Dos and Don’ts for Travellers.NEW WORDS: Sensible precaution - разумная предосторожность Valuables - ценности Pickpocket - вор-карманник Thieve - вор It is not unknown for bags to vanish - известны случаи исчезновения сумок Unattended - без присмотра Steal (stole, stolen) - красть Suspect - подозревать Cause a security alert - вызвать внимание служб безопасности Plenty - множество Mugger - уличный грабитель Rapist - насильник Rashness - неосторожность, необдуманность Exaggerated caution - чрезмерная предосторожность Be inappropriate - не соответствовать, быть не к месту Purchase - покупать Take sensible precautions with personal property at all times. Don’t carry your valuables around with you; take jus as much cash as you need. Pickpockets and thieves may sometimes pose an immediate problem. Never let your handbag or case out of your sight – particularly in restaurants, cinemas, etc. where it is unknown for bags to vanish from between the feet of their owners. Never leave bags or briefcases unattended in tube or train stations – they will either be stolen or suspected of being bombs and therefore cause a security alert. Stick to the well-lit streets with plenty of traffic. Muggers and rapists prefer poorly lit or isolated places like back-streets, parks and unmanned railway stations. If you avoid these, especially at night, or travel round in group, you should manage to stay out of danger. Dos: - Deposit your travelers cheques and valuables in your hotel safe; - Always lock your doors; - Travel in pairs or in groups at night on the Underground; - Remember that both rashness and exaggerated caution are inappropriate. Don’ts: - Don’t count your money in public; - Don’t purchase anything from strangers in the street; - Don’t walk along deserted streets or in parks at night; - Don’t talk to strangers who try to strike up a conversation with you unless there are other people about.

Mary:Oh, but I have not packed yet. Bill:Neither have I. But you must eat sometime. George:Yes, Mary. We can help you pack now later. Ann:However, perhaps she would better do it now. Mary:Yes, I would rather do it now. Need I take a lot of things? Do I need more than one case? George:No. Only what is necessary for a few days. Bill:You would better take a change of clothes – and of course your toothbrush. And you may need something to eat on the train or boat. Ann:You ought to take a book to read, your camera, and of course your bathing-costume. Mary:Hm! If you add much more, I will have to take two cases after all. George:But would not you rather take too much than too little? If you wanted some special thing in Jersey, and then found that you had left it in London, you would be very cross, would not you? Mary:If I forgot anything, I could buy it in Jersey, could not I? Bill:Of course you could. You would better not listen to George. But you must not take more than you can carry because we may not always find porters to carry our things. Ann:Oh, that does not matter, Bill. You and George will have to carry them if we cannot find porters. George:Do you hear that Bill, Will you be able to carry Mary’s bags as well as your own? Mary:Of course he will! I will be able to get everything into one case, I am sure. I will fetch some of my things. Bill:And if we started packing now, we might still be in time to get something to eat. Come along, Ann, you can help her to find what she wants. Ann:Well, if we cannot shut the case, you and George will have to sit on it to help. Mary: (coming in) Here are some dresses and shoes.
