*Copy the reading and answer to the questions:
Train Tickets :This summer, I'm planning on taking a trip to Europe, and I want to be
able to get around easily, so
I'm looking into buying a cheap train pass or tickets to make travel a little
easier. My first step is to talk to a friend who is a travel agent to see how
much train passes cost for a
two-week trip. I'm looking for some kind of pass that allows me to get on and
off the train at any stop during my trip. I also don't care if I ride first
class or not; I'm most concerned about saving money, and some discount train
pass would be best. My friend also suggested looking online for Internet
specials on train passes. Train fares often drop in price depending on the season, so if I end up traveling
during the off season (not a
time when most people are vacationing), I might be able to get a better deal on a train pass. However, because
I only have a limited amount of time to travel, I don't want to get stuck on a slow-moving train that makes stops at every station.
