Unit 1 He lives the farthest from
school.
Betty: I was late
for school today.
Mum: Why ? What happened ?
Betty: I took the bus. There was a road
accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But
nobody was late, except me. Maybe I
should go to school by taxi.
Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but
it’s also the most expensive.
Betty: Then what about going by bike ?
Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a
bit dangerous. There’s so
much traffic.
Betty: But most of my
classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don’t
worry. I’ll be careful.
Mum: How does Tony go to school ?
Betty: He lives the farthest from
school, so he takes the underground.
Mum: And what about Lingling?
Betty: Her home
is the closest to school, so she walks.
Mum: How about Daming ?
Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as
me. But its so crowded! And the traffic is heavy.
Mum: All right. You can
ride your bike to school, but remember to be
careful all the time.
Read
the passage and number the ways of travelling from
the most expensive to the least expensive.
Question : What is the best
way to travel from London to Amsterdam?
Unit 2
What is the best way to travel?
I
am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam.
How long does the journey take and what is the
best way to travel?
Could you please
tell me about the trains or ships to get there ?
The more information ,the better . Thanks.
Best answer: There are four ways to
travel.
A journey by train
is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more
expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a
long time before you travel. It is
usually cheaper.
You
can
go
by
car
and
by
ship
across
the
North
Sea. This
is
the
most
comfortable
way
to
travel
but
also
the
most
expensive . Book your ticket before you
book your hotel. Remember that parking in
Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay
outside the city centre and travel in
by bus or by train.
The
third choice is by coach. This is usually the
cheapest , but in summer the coaches sometimes get
crowded! And it
takes you about twelve
hours to get there. However , it will not cost as
much as going by train.
Finally , you can fly. It is the
fastest and the second cheapest , but you may have
to wait for hours at the airport because
of bad weather.
Well , I hope this helps! Have a great
trip!
