How has air travel changed the way people spend their holidays?

In my opinion, air travel has changed a lot due to changes in technology and scientific advances, for example, the speed, of the vehicles or transports, the large number of airports, so people can have better holidays…

Firstly, in the past people didn't travel for a long distance because experts hadn’t developed technologies or appropriate resources, so people didn't travel to many places. Moreover, trips were more expensive.

Secondly, if technology and science advance, holidays change too. There are more airports in the big cities and low cost flights, so tickets are cheaper and people prefer to go to Hawaii, India... and other distant countries. 

In conclusion, I think holidays are nicer because people can travel more easily to different countries in a shorter time. So people can visit the world and know different cultures and traditions from different places.

My aunt’s description

My aunt Maria is old, she is sixty years old. She has got blonde wavy hair and her eyes are blue. She dresses always old-fashioned, she wears a skirt and a blouse. She is a secretary and she works in an office in a bank.

My aunt is very generous because she likes helping poor people. I use to visit her many times in summer, but she is very talkative, and she explains me old stories. She is very intelligent and creative because she has been painting pictures for a long time. When I’m not next to her I miss her because she is good fun and warm-hearted.

She helps me with my problems at school and she usually gives great advice. She is a great aunt, and a good friend too.
