Means of transport a car
  • The dominant form of transport nowadays is
    undoubtedly the car. Everybody use it when they
    go on holidays or travel to closer destinations.
    It has got some disadvantages but many advantages
    .
  • Pros you can stop when you want, when you are
    sick and tired, want to eat, a car has got a big
    boot so you can take a lot of luggage with you
  • Cons if you travel long distances it is tiring,
    petrol/gas now is expensive, this means of
    transport pollutes the environment a lot (we
    should use unleaded petrol) and catalyzators to
    reduce pollution

7
Means of transport a train
  • Travelling by train is quite common nowadays.
  • Pros- relatively cheap, quick, comfortale if
    you are tired of sitting, you can walk. If you
    travel at night, you can sleep in a sleeper and
    if hungry, you can eat in a dining-car. You can
    enjoy the scenery, can work/study/take phone
    calls on the way.
  • It doesnt pollute environment a lot.
    (environmentally friendly means of transport)
  • Cons Railways stations and trains are noisy,
    overcrowded and dirty sometimes. In a compartment
    you dont have a privacy, strangers staring, can
    be stressful, listening to other peoples loud
    phone conversations can be unpleasant, disturbing.

8
Walking, riding a bike
  • If you travel for shorter distances we can walk
    /go on foot or ride a bike
  • These are definitely the healthiest ways of
    travelling
  • UNDEGROUND/TUBE/SUBWAY
  • in big cities
  • Its very convenient way of travel, the
    undeground trains go every five minutes, the
    rates are quite low, you can travel easily even
    rush hours

9
Means of transport - plane
  • Using a plane has become quite popular. It is
    most convenient for longer distations
  • Some people are afraid of flying but statistics
    show there are fewer air accidents than the road
    ones. Moreover, flying is faster and more
    comfortable, of course when the weather is nice.
  • Pros its fast, comfortable, relatively safe
  • Cons its sometimes expensive, if you dont
    travel with low cost airlines budget airlines,
  • Moreover there is a danger of hijacking

10
Journey by plane
  • If you want to fly, you have to book flight
    tickets in advance
  • you can choose from the first class called also
    business class or second class called economy
    class.
  • On the day of your departure, you have to arrive
    at the airport at least two hours before your
    departure
  • At the airport the pasengers have check-in at
    first. The luggage is weighed because each
    passenger can take only 20kg of luggage free of
    charge. Then the passengers go through the
    customs to show their flight tickets and
    passports For air traffic safety both people and
    luggage have to be checked and metal objects have
    to be detected. It is forbidden to take sharp
    objects and liquids on the board
  • Then the passengers can go to the departure
    lounge. When the plane is ready to take off the
    announcer calls passengers to get ready and board
    the plane. Before the aircraft moves the notices
    flash up Fasten Your Safety Belts and No
    Smoking. When the plane get permissions from the
    control tower for flight it takes off.
  • In the plane the stewardess shows passengers
    their seats and during the flight she offers them
    some meals, refreshments or drinks.

11
Travelling abroad
  • Families usually travel to spent their holidays
    abroad once a year. Families can use the services
    of travel agencies or they can travel
    independently on their own.
  • If they travel on their own, they can stay in a
    campsite or rented bungallow and prepare meals by
    themselves. (self-catering holiday)
  • Home swapping is a new type of holiday. You
    exchange your home with a family in another
    country.
  • Couch-surfing is a way of travelling for young
    people who want to save money, accomodation is
    provided for free.

12
Hichhiking and backpacking
  • Especially young people like to travel by
    hitchhiking. It is one of the cheapest ways of
    traveling. They take their backpack and can go
    wherever they want.
  • Its cheap, but dangerous. And you must have luck
    by hitch-hiking. It is very slow travelling.
  • What to arrange before travel 
  • When we are going abroad we must have necessary
    documents- at first checked a validity of your
    passport, sometimes we must get a visa and other
    things e.g. we must exchange money.
  •   When we are going by train, bus and plane. We
    must buy tickets.
  •   We have to have information about accomodation,
    transportation and so on. We have to get travel
    insurance
  •   We can live in a hotel, a hostel, a cottage, a
    appartement.
