# Study Group Questions

1. Do you prefer package trips, or creating your own itineraries? Explain your reason.
2. Why do you think package trips are especially popular among families and elderly travelers?
3. Describe what would be an ideal package trip for you.
 

# SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about the benefits of package trips.

I tend to prefer pacakge trips when I go on vacations. 

The flights, hotels, and local fees are grouped together and offered as a package.

Various costs are offered at discounted rates, so I can travel at a lower price.

It's also less time-consuming because I don't have to make reservations myself.

I can also consult with a travel agent to get answer to any questions I might have.

For sightseeing trips where I moved around a lot, group tour packages have a lot to offer.

A tour guide leads the group.

That means I don't have to waste time by getting lost.
It's especially useful when I visit a place for the first time.

It's also nice to get group rates for various costs.  

[해석]

나는 여행을 갈 때 주로 패키지 여행 상품을 선호한다. 항공권, 호텔, 현지 비용들을 패키지로 만들어 제공한다. 여러 요금에 할인이 적용되어 조금 더 저렴한 가격에 여행을 갈 수 있다. 그리고 내가 직접 예약을 안 해도 되기 때문에 시간이 덜 들어가기도 한다. 여행사 직원의 상담도 받을 수 있어서, 궁금증을 해결할 수도 있다.
여기저기 돌아다니는 관광 여행인 경우, 단체 여행 패키지는 장점이 많다. 투어 가이드의 안내를 받게 된다. 그래서 길을 잃어 시간을 낭비하지 않을 수 있다. 처음 가 보는 지역일 때는 특히 유용하다. 다양한 단체 할인을 받을 수도 있어서 좋다.
