Use the Present Simple or Present Continuous to complete the dialogue.UNIT 1. TRAVELLING City. Public Transport People use various means of communication to get from one place to another. When getting about town one can go by bus, by tram, by trolley-bus or by the underground. The Underground is very popular with people as it’s the fastest and most convenient way of going about town. If you have to travel a short distance you may take a bus, a tram, a trolley-bus or go on foot. If there is no direct bus to your destination you’ll have to change on to another bus (trolley-bus, tram). When we travel on buses we have to pay fare. If there are many cars, buses and trolley-buses in the town we say that the traffic is heavy. If the vehicles are few we say that the traffic is light. The traffic is especially heavy in the rush hour, that is in the morning when people are hurrying to work and in the evening when people are coming back home. At this time the public transport is overcrowded. Answer the questions. 1. Why is the underground so popular with people? 2. What means of communication do you use when you travel a short distance? 3. What is the name of your native town/village? 4. What are the most interesting sights of your home town/village? 5. Do you live far from the bus station/railway station? 6. What is the main street in your home town? 7. What kind of public transport do you like best? Read, translate and act out the dialogues.

What’s your name? Luke: It’s Luke. Helen: Nice to meet you, Luke. I’m Helen. I’ll tell you what. I’ll walk with you to the bus stop on the corner and you can take the number 45.

Read the poem. What is the poem about? Roadways One road leads to London, One road runs to Wales, My road leads me seawards To the white dipping sails. One road leads to the river, As it goes singing slow; My road leads to shipping, Where the bronzed sailors go. My Road calls me, lures me West, east, south, and north; Most roads lead men homewards, My road leads me forth.
