Task 2 Read the following passage. Choo the best answer.

How to pack like a professional

Your flights are booked, and your itinerary is planned. Now all you have to do is pack your

suitca. That may em simple, but in fact, suitca-packing is a skill which must be learned.

Flight attendant Rosa Kay knows this only too well. Her work takes her all around the globe, and

she is an experienced suitca packer. She says, “Most people pack far too much when they travel.

Less can be more!”

So what does a well-packed suitca look like? First of all, it doesn’t contain pieces of paper and

travel documents. Rosa says, “Often travelers carry far too many bits of paper. It adds to the stress

and it’s more to carry. Digitize your documents!”

Packing too many devices is another mistake. Rosa explains, “If you’re planning on taking

holiday photos, ask yourlf if you really need an expensive, heavy camera. Wouldn’t your

smartphone be just as good? Many people pack laptops too, but if you will just be accessing social

media on vacation, why bother?”

Finally, clothing. Have you ever packed lots of clothes to take on holiday, and worn only half of

them? If so, you’re not alone. Rosa says, “Make a pile of all the clothes you want to take, and then

halve it. You won’t regret it! And roll your clothes, don’t fold them. This will take up much less room

in your ca.

Do you have any top packing tips? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

D. She has written a lot of articles about suitca packing.

8. According to Rosa Kay, what should people do with their travel documents?

A. Pack them in their suitca.

B. Carry them in their hands.

C. Store them on a device or online.

D. Make lots of paper copies of them.

9. What advice does Rosa offer about devices?

A. Don’t take two when you can take just one.

B. You should always pack a camera.

C. Don’t pack your most expensive devices.

meeting people.
