Patricia

“My school is quite far from where I live, but the public transport is very good and reliable, so it doesn’ t really take long. I take the metro. It takes about 10 minutes for me to walk to the nearest metro station. It’s a nice walk. I get on the blue line first and travel for three stops. Then I change for the green line and travel for another five stops. The whole metro journey only takes about 15 minutes. Then I need to walk for about another 10-12 minutes, so altogether my whole trip takes no more than 40 minutes.”

6 Who has to walk the least? bureI t10methstoanwhmianmymin

Tim

“My school isn’t very far from where I live. It usually

takes about 25 to 30 minutes for me to get to school.

I take a bus first. The stop is some blocks down the

street where I live. I travel for abut 20 minutes, about

5 or 7 stops. I never really counted how many. When

I get off, I can already see my school. I just walk

across the road and walk for about 200 meters. The

only thing is that my bus runs very rarely. If I miss

my usual bus, I have to wait for about 20 minutes

and I will be late for sure.”

B Tell each other how you get to school Include the following points:

nutes.minnd I will be late for sure.

Sue

“How do I get to school? Well, I need to get on a suburban train first, as I live in a suburb and my school is in the centre of the city. It takes about half an hour on the train. But before that I have already walked about a quarter of an hour to get to the station from my home. So that’s three quarters of an hour already and I’m not even there yet! I need to change two more times. First for a tram, the 15, and travel for another 10 minutes and then for a trolley for one more stop. The trolley stops in front of my school. So all included, walking, waiting, changing, it all takes about an hour and a quarter. Sometimes, because of bad weather or a traffic problem, it can take as long as one and a half hours!”

Riding and driving

3 Riding or driving? Read what three people say about their riding and driving habits and answer the questions:

1 Who can drive? 2 Who is concerned about the environment? 3 Who made a lot of friends through the vehicle they often use? 4 Who is a university student? 5 Who has special clothing for travelling on their vehicle? 6 Who is prepared to take other people on their vehicle? 7 Who says that they take care when they ride/drive their vehicle? 8 Who complains about their parents? 9 Who says that they like working on their vehicle? 10 Who complains of not having enough oxygen?


Can you drive? If yes: When did you learn to drive? Was it easy to pass the driving test? �How long is your licence valid for? If not: Would you like to learn to drive? Would it be difficult to pass the driving test, do you think? Do you think driving tests should be stricter? Why (not)? Have you got a car? Would you like to have a car one day? Why (not)? What is the car of �your dreams? What do you like about it? Do you sometimes borrow a car? Whose car is it? Is it hard to get them to lend their car to you?Can you ride a bike / motor bike? Do you like it? Compare riding a bike to driving a car. �What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Kevin

“I learnt to drive when I was 17, but

I haven’ t driven much as I don’ t

have a car and my father doesn’ t

like if I take his. I don’ t like to drive

Mom or Dad in the car either,

because they keep telling me what

I do wrong. My father gets angry

and my mom upset. So it’s not much

fun. I quite like cycling, but there

are very few cycle paths where I live

unfortunately.”

James

“I enjoy riding a motorbike more than anything else. People say it’s dangerous, but I’ve never had an accident as I’m always very careful. Most people only like riding a motorbike if the weather is good, but I’m prepared for cold or rainy weather, too. I have leather gear and overalls. I always have an extra helmet on me in case someone asks me to give them a lift. I also pick up hitchhikers. I met a lot of my friends and my girlfriend too through my motorbike.”

Shirley

“I think it would be much better if people used a bike for commuting to work or school. It ’s much healthier, cheaper and better for the environment. Whenever and wherever possible I take my bike. I mostly cycle on campus. There are bicycle paths and bicycle racks everywhere on campus, so it ’s really easy. Once someone stole my bike, though, so I never leave it unlocked any more. Apart from riding my bike, I quite enjoy repairing and upgrading it. The only thing I don’ t like is that if I have to go to the city centre, I need to wear a face mask as there are no bicycle lanes there and I need to ride in heavy traf fic.”

Arriving at Heathrow Airport

For all passengers not making a connecting fl ight your fi rst stop is

Passport control, which will be clearly signposted on your arrival. Th ere

are two separate queuing areas – one is for European Union (EU) and

British nationals, the other for all other nationalities.

Aft er passport control, follow the signs to the Baggage reclaim area. Look

for your fl ight number on the information screens to fi nd out which

carousel you need. Trolleys are available in the baggage reclaim area.

You next step is Customs. Which channel do you need to take? If your

journey started in a EU country (your hold baggage will have a green-

edged tag), use the blue exit. If your journey began in a country outside

the EU (your hold luggage will have a white tag), use the red channel if

you have goods to declare. If you don’t, take the green channel.
