IV. Песня” Crossing borders” (из учебника Express Publishing. Click on – 4, стр. 99)
When I feel a little restless and I need to get away
I grab my passport, pack my bags and go on holiday
With a ticket in my hand I feel as free as any bird
I can jump on board an aeroplane and travel round the world.Crossing borders to foreign lands
Snowy mountains and desert sands
Travel the world and you will see
Crossing borders can set you free.Tour round ancient ruins take a walk on rugged moors
Hit the busy city streets or stroll on distant shores
Sail out on the ocean or ski on crisp white snow
You can see the beauty of the world everywhere you go.Crossing borders to foreign lands….
Go on safari in the jungle or snorkel in the sea
Lie on a sandy palm-fringed beach where the sun shines constantly
Whatever your destination whether near or far away
A journey is a chance to learn special lessons on the way.
