TASK. Read the text

On a daily basis we used to use various means of transport to get from one place to another one: trams, cars, buses, planes, underground and other transportation means.

In times gone by, people had to go from one city to another for weeks and even months to get to the destination place, because they used horses, boats or their own feet to travel. Nowadays everything is changed and men cross the country or waters in some hours.

The most rapid mean of transport is travelling by plane. Other people prefer car, train or bus, because they are cheaper and it is possible to enjoy passing villages, forests and fields through windows.

Life in a big city makes people be depended on transport, especially if they live in the countryside. Sometimes people have to change two or more transportation means (metro, suburban train, bus, share taxi, tramway, etc.) to get to a workplace or come back home after hard working day. The choice of the transport facilities depends on many factors: a financial ability, the distance between workplace and home place, time, comfort and other things. Most people prefer to get a car, because today it helps to be a little more independent from public transport.

Write TRUE or FALSE

1)Nowadays everything is changed and men cross the country or waters in some hours.

2)Life in a small city makes people be depended on transport

3)The most rapid mean of transport is travelling by airplane.

4)Sometimes people have not to change two or more transportation means

Travelling by public or own transport

Thousands of people travel every day. To prove it, I invite you to a railway or a bus station, a port or an

airport. There you will see thousands of people trying to catch a train, a bus, a ship or a plane. Everybody

wants to go somewhere and to get there as quickly as possible, with all conveniences and safely.

Of course, travelling by plane is the fastest, but it is also the most expensive. That’s why if people have time

they go by train. It is one of the most popular means of travelling. Trains go slower than planes, but you can

see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Modern trains are very

comfortable and you can enjoy even the longest journey.

Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. Onboard large ships and small river boats people can

visit foreign countries and different places of interest within their own country. A trip by sea is usually

called a voyage or a cruise.

Buses also can take you to any place you wish. It can be a trip not far from your home or a long journey

even to a foreign country. Modern buses have comfortable seats, video and phone, you can have hot tea or

coffee, drinks and snack. Tourist groups usually use buses to visit foreign countries and different places of

interest.

Many people prefer travelling by car. They don’t have to buy tickets. They don’t have to carry heavy

luggage. They can stop wherever they wish and spend as much time as they like at any place.

But some people like spending their holidays travelling on foot or by bike.

If you feel like travelling by plane, by train or by bus, you have to choose a flight or a line, to go to a ticket

office and buy a single or a return ticket. Sometimes you have to change trains or buses. But usually

travellers prefer tickets for through trains or buses. Then you take your luggage and try not to miss your

plane, train or bus. They usually arrive at the airport or the railway station in time. And your wonderful

journey begins. Have a nice journey.

As for me, I have never travelled far from my home. I and my family usually spend holidays at my Granny’s

in the country. But last year we went to the seaside. It was so exciting. I hope, next year I shall visit London.

It’ll be great.

Choose TRUE or FALSE

1. Travelling by plane is faster than by train.

2. Tourist groups use trains to visit foreign countries and different places.

3. Many people prefer travelling by car._

4. If you want travelling by bus, plane or train you have to buy tickets.

5. Travelling by plane is cheaper than by train.
