‘There are two types of travelers: those who do it because they want to, and those who do it because they have to. Discuss this statement, using specific examples.”

Most of us have, at some point in our lives, experienced the joys of travel. We go to a (1) ............ to pick up some brochures, or look on the Internet for a cheap holiday deal. We book a two-week (2) ............ with flights and accommodation included, (or if we are (3) ............ , we make our own way to the country and travel around from place to place with a rucksack on our back).
