Modes of transport

Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to travel. It may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long time, especially when great distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness. This means that they will become very unwell each time they travel.

Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and the choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances. Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is needed for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time consuming it will be.

The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although traffic is rarely a problem for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane. People often need to arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure.

A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same country, or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train stations on route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.

A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart from a harbour in a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may choose to sleep on the ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for their holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of time. People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often rely on their legs to take them to places nearby. This is often encouraged, as certain modes of transport have been said to produce harmful emissions and damage the environment.

Step 3 - Vocabulary

  • Study the vocabulary. (10 minutes)

Now you are ready to do the following exercises (again).

Step 5 - Speaking

A debate about modes of transport
You have read a text about modes of transport. Now you are going to debate about the subject.

  • Decide which mode of transport you are going to debate about.
  • Divide the roles.
  • Prepare the roles using key words (2 minutes).
  • Debate.

Role A
You are going to lead the debate. Prepare the introduction of the subject and give some extra information (use the text: Modes of transport from step 2).

Role B
Prepare arguments in favour of the use of the chosen mode of transport.

Role C
Prepare arguments against the use of the chosen mode of transport.

Role D
You are going to judge which arguments are the most convincing. Help the leader (role A) to prepare the introduction.

Step 6 - Writing

An essay about modes of transport
You have read an article and debated about modes of transport. Now you are going to write an essay on the subject. Decide which mode of transport you are going to write about. It can be the same as in the debate, but you could also choose another one. You are allowed to use the arguments from the debate. Perhaps you can improve them.

  • Introduce the subject (use information from the text: Modes of transport from step 2).
  • Describe advantages in favour of your chosen mode of transport.
  • Describe disadvantages against your chosen mode of transport.

Lyrics

Travelling the road, last known is where I want to be
My compass directing, electing, an open road with golden trees
But there's an old man in need on the ground, I try not to make a sound
He holds out his hand as I walk away, I hear him say

Please don't be a stranger in my place

Travelling come to a tavern for a momentary rest
I see the old man that I passed on the road in his distress
As I turned to go I can hear him say, "Son, stay. Have a drink, I'll pay."
Let bygones be gone, it's all in the past, we raise a glass

Please don't be a stranger in my place

What if I could be what you wanted me to be
What if I could see what you wanted me to see
Come on and show me

Please don't be a stranger in my place
