6Means 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
7Means 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.
8Walking, 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
9Means 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
10Journey 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.
11Travelling 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.
12Hichhiking 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.
