8. Translate into English the following text:

  Мой друг Виктор любит путешествовать. Сейчас он собирается за границу (abroad). Он предпочитает лететь самолетом, так как самолет самый удобный и быстрый способ путешествия. Полет (the flight) длится долго, он может спать в удобном кресле и кушать на борту самолета (on board the plane). К сожалению (unfortunately), он не может наслаждаться великолепным видом страны, так как самолет будет лететь слишком высоко. Виктор берет с собой паспорт, визу, билет, дорожный чек, фотоаппарат и русско –английский разговорник. Кроме того, он не забывает взять ручку, которая необходима, чтобы заполнить специальную форму, где он должен узнать имя и фамилию, дату рождения, постоянное место жительства и цель визита. Он собирается говорить по-английски, но иногда он будет пользоваться (to use) разговорником, чтобы получить необходимую информацию. Он надеется хорошо провести время: познакомиться с достопримечательностями, попробовать местную пищу, сходить в театры и музеи, бары и рестораны.
