I USULLY ONE OR TWO IN EVERY YEARS TO SYRIA, I WOULDREALY LIKE TO TRAVIL TO TURKISH BECUSE IT IS BEATIFUI CITY

I don’t travel by plane very often — maybe once every few years. I live in Europe, so I would like to travel to another continent, such as Asia, Australia, or the United States. I think travelling — not necessarily by plane — is important for our personal development and for learning about different cultures and countries. It also gives us a chance to take a break from work, household duties, and everyday worries.

I loved the task! espsecially 2nd task

I don't often travel by plane, only once or twice a year. Most of my travel is between london and my hometown. I would like to visit Japan, the US and all European countries.

I rarely travel by plane as it's quite expensive for me. But if I ever get a chance to travel to another country, I would like to visit Oxford that is my dream place. Not just an excursion, I want to stay and study there. I really want to learn the culture.

I have never travelled by plane, but I think it will be very amazing experience.
If I'll travel to visit country or city by plane, I think I'll go to Qatar, Britian, Germany, Russia, and Turkey; Qatar and Germany for work, Britian, Russia, and Turkey for enjoying.
