3. Tell the students some cultural background about traveling in western countries to lead into this lesson.The people in western countries love traveling aboard. When they are on holiday, they prefer to go to other countries to have a trip. It is very usual to travel among the European countries. One reason is that these countries are close to one another, the transport is also very convenient and the other reason is the easy procedures for leaving and entering a country. Of course, money is also one of the most important factors.Traveling now is also more and more popular in china, but most of people still have the domestic tour. One reason is the complex procedure, and the other is money.
