What's your reason to travel?
Instructions: Read the text below.

One of the human dreams is to go out and see the world. People can have different
reasons for traveling. One of the most popular reasons is leisure. It can be divided into
relaxation and sightseeing. People can travel for relaxation to a beach, to enjoy the sun
and the sand. When people travel for sightseeing, they usually enjoy visiting different
places, such as urban centers, famous museums, or attractions. They frequently take
lots of photographs.
Not all people travel for pleasure. Business people usually travel to large cities, which
are not usually tourist destinations, for important meetings and conferences. Travelers in
business tourism always expect a high standard in service. Cultural tourism is when
tourists want to learn the culture of a destination. These tourists love visiting museums
or historical attractions. Eco-tourism occurs when the main purpose of the traveler is to
be in contact with nature while promoting the conservation and protection of the natural
environment.
Finally, there are three specific but common reasons for people to travel. Those are
studying, religious pilgrimage and health tourism. Study tourism could be for short or
long vacation courses, sometimes in training centers or universities. Religious
pilgrimages have a long tradition; examples of these trips are when Muslims travel to
Mecca, or Christians to Jerusalem. Health tourism could vary from trips to spas in exotic
places or complex medical treatments people don't always find in their own countries. All
these purposes explain why tourism is one of the biggest industries in the world.

Sometimes about 60% of frequency; at times, but not all the time.
Usually about 50% of frequency.
Seldom about 30% of frequency.

Example:
I always jog in the morning.
Subject + to be + adverb + complement.
Example:
