T.A.: But you said you wanted an exciting holiday. Well, have you ever been to London? You ’ll visit the Trafalgar Square, Westminster, the British Museum, the lungs of London: Hyde Park, St. James Park.

P3: That sounds marvelous. We’ll take it.

P1: After a conversation at a travel agency we decided to travel to London. It’s very interesting to see Hyde Park, meet native speakers, visit interesting places. Travel agent: I have some information about traffic in London. It will be useful for you. When you come to London, you can think that something is wrong with a traffic. In London and in other towns of England the cars and buses go on the left side of the street, and not on the right. In England people must look first to the right and then to the left. All the buses in London have a conductor. People pay him the fee. The conductor gives them tickets and change. Are there any questions?

P2.: Dear teacher! But we haven’t decided what things we have to take when we travel abroad.

T.: let’s discuss in groups this problem

Our group offers to take

Passports

Souvenirs

Cameras

Umbrellas

A supply of food

First Aid kit

Medicines

T.: But those who wish to travel either for pleasure or on business have to decide how they travel. And now you have to discuss the ways of travelling. Let’s work in groups. What transport can we use?

 

Work in groups

P1: If we are in a hurry and want to save our time, we’d better travel by plain because it is the fastest way of travelling.

P2: Travelling by air is more comfortable, more convenient and much quicker than by any other means of transport. People take a plain when they are travelling on business.

P3: While travelling by train you can see the country' you are travelling across and not only the clouds when you are flying.

P4: There are passenger trains, goods trains and mail trains. Passenger trains carry goods and mail trains carry passengers and mail. There are also long-distance trains. They are fast trains. Local trains make all the stops and you can get on or off a local train at a very small station, even if it is only a platform.

P5: if you are going to a distant place, a sleeping compartment is very comfortable. Local trains have carriages with wooden seats as passengers make only a short trip.

P6: There are ocean liners, ice-breakers, speed boats, tugs, passenger and freight ships, first-class motor ships.

T.: I see you have done this. But don’t forget that you are going to travel to London. Today you are lucky to learn more about different ways of travelling. The representatives of different tour agencies will tell us about the advantages and disadvantages of different ways of travelling.

P1: Friends! I’m fond of travelling. My hobby is to go sightseeing. I have already visited many towns, some cities in Ukraine. I used different ways of travelling, of course: train, plane, bus, car. But I never address to the tourist companies. I don’t want to have problems with seats. They often want to have inconvenient time to leave. Moreover, I hate these herds of tourists, which are guided by the guide. You ride top speed after him and at sight. And my last argument is money. If you travel yourself you pay less and save money for the next trip.

P2: I don’t agree with you. We bought a tour to France. These days were unforgettable. We saw many sights learned much interesting information about this country. Thanks to your company we had no problems with hotels, documents, transport.

P3: I’d like to add. A professional guide is very useful. You listen to his stories and explanations. I advise you to listen to the representatives of British Companies.

T.: Listen to them and don’t forget to note the advantages and disadvantages of every⁷ way of travelling.

P1: I represent here the Britain Airline Company. Travelling is very popular nowadays. Go to a railway station, a port or an airport in this country' or abroad and you’ll see hundreds of people who want to go somewhere and to get there as quickly as possible. There is no doubt that the fastest way of travelling is by plane. With a modem airliner you can travel in an hour to a place which takes a day to travel by train. Using our plains you can get to any comer of the world. Travelling by plain you can have an enjoyable time in comfortable armchairs. There is nothing like travelling by plain. Welcome to our modem airliners. Have a happy landing!

P2 : I represent British Rails. British rails welcome you to travel by our trains. We agree that travelling be train is slower than by plain, but it nevertheless has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling across and not only the clouds when you are flying. There are sleepers and dining cars in passenger trains which make the longest journey enjoyable. You can also make friends with other passengers. Besides, it is very' expensive to travel by plains and they don’t fly in bad weather. When you go by train you have speed and comfort combined. Have a comfortable journey!

P3 : I represent here Sea Voyage Agency. I agree that travelling by ship is not very fast. But as for me, there is nothing like travelling by ship. Travelling by

 

sea you can breathe fresh air and see beautiful landscapes, standing on the deck of the ship. You can dream watching the marvelous sea-sunset. Have a comfortable voyage!

P1.: I think we must travel by train because there is a big railway station in our town and it's absolutely enjoyable to travel by train.

 

IV. Conclusion

 

P5: So, we’d like to travel because we learn English and want to meet native speakers, to master our English pronunciation. It’s very useful to visit new countries. We like to receive new impressions, meet new friends, to learn traditions. People like a change.

We want to visit London because we have read a lot about places of interest and want to see them with our own eyes.

P6: When people travel abroad they take some necessary things. We’d like to take some souvenirs, cameras, medicines and of course a good song.
