Should you ask me what kind of transport I like best I'd speak in support of the train. With a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure combined. What place is more interesting than a big station? There is the movement, the excitement, the gaiety of the people going away, sorrow of those who are seeing others off. There are shouts of the porters as they pull luggage trucks along the platforms to the waiting trains, the crowd at the booking-office getting tickets, the children tightly holding on to the skirts of their mothers and passengers hurrying to board the train.
taken care of your luggage and get out on to the platform.
At last you are — Car 2, Train 53. You show your tickets to the guard and in you go into a most wonderful carriage. At last you manage to stow away your luggage and get out on to the platform for fresh air and bid farewell to the well-wishers who have come to see you off.
You are on your way. You start up a conversation with your fellow-passengers and soon you get to know who is who and what. Then you have dinner in the dining car. After a hearty meal you get into your upper berth and begin to absorb the beauty of the changing scenes
that fly past you.
TEXT 2.
Those who wish to travel either for pleasure or on business, have at their disposal various means of transport. There is for instance, the humble , inexpensive bicycle. Then there's the motorcycle, with which you can travel quickly and cheaply but for long journeys it's rather tiring. With a motor car one can travel comfortly for long distances without getting too tired.
Luxurious ships cross seas and oceans from one continent to another. Airplanes carry passengers to various parts of the world in almost as many hours as it takes days to do the journey by other means. But most of us still have to use trains. Look at this picture of a busy railway station. A train is standing at one of the platforms. Some of i n passengers are looking out of the window watching the late-comers who are hurrying along looking for empty seats.
The engine is ready to draw the train out of the station. On another platform a train has just come in; some passengers are getting out, others
are getting in. Those who’ve not taken the precaution of getting their tickets beforehand are waiting in queues at the booking-office . At the bookstalls people are choosing books, magazines and papers for the journey. At the cloakroom others are depositing or withdrawing their luggage. Further along there are refreshment rooms crowded with people snatching a hasty meal, while those with l i n e to spare are sitting in the waiting-rooms.
THINGS TO DO 1. Read Texts 1 and 2 and speak of the advantages of traveling by train.
2. Say if you consider it comfortable to travel by train. (Are there any disadvantages of traveling by train?)
TEXT 3. TRAVELLING BY TRAIN IN BRITAIN One of the first things a foreigner notices about British railways is the platforms. They are higher than in most parts of the world. The platform is almost on a level with the floor of the
carriages. You do not, therefore, have to climb up into a railway carriages in Britain. This makes it a little easier to get in and out of the carriages with your luggage.
The trains that go to and from London are very crowded at the times when people are traveling to work, since about a million people travel to London to work every day. There are cheap tickets after a certain time of the day, usually about 9.30 when everyone has gone to work. These are called cheap day return tickets. It’s only nearly 50% cheaper to travel to London after 9.30 than before this time.
Britain has a fast, modern rail system and much has been done to improve the network. New trains and carriages have been introduced on intercity, rural and commuter lines. In London, many underground stations have been renovated and there are plans for new lines.
However, traveling by train on the mainline railways is expensive. Despite a complicated system of reduced fares for students, families, old people, and those who can travel at certain times and on certain days, rail fares cannot compete with the cheaper long-distance coaches. There are also complaints about trains being late and overcrowded but despite this the number of passengers traveling by train began to increase again towards the end of the 1990s.
THINGS TO DO Give a short summary of the text. Describe your preparations for traveling by train. Speak on the advantages of booking tickets beforehand. Vocabulary Exercises
