Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
Traveling can be tricky for a newbie. If you want to take a trip to a new place abroad
or which is far away from where you live, you may need to make a good plan in order
to avoid troubles. Many people take a trip during holidays because that is the time
when they can take a break from work or studies.
Unfortunately, traveling during holiday season may not be a good choice as prices for
flight tickets and hotel rooms are usually higher than the off-season period when
tourism is not booming. If you have a limited budget, you may consider taking a day off
work during the off-season when prices are lower and discounted.
Your budget will also determine what means of transportation you are going to use.
Taking a road trip might be cheaper, but you should be in good shape and prepare
your car for a long trip.
If you choose to fly, you may have to take public transportation to get around in your
holiday destination. In addition, remember not to take much luggage during travel to
move easily.
Next, calculate your costs. What kind of accommodation do you want? If you take
a road trip, you may prefer to stay in a motel. Hostels are cheaper, but today you can
search online and find hotels offering rooms with low rates. If the costs are more than

you can afford, make cuts where you can.
