Lenjoy C8 Wednesday: When Was the Last Time you Travelled...? By Plane, by Car, by Train...

Wednesday 14^th January, 2015

Hello everybody!

It’s nice to see ALL of you again! It’s been ages since the seven of you came to class! Exams, holidays…

Some of you had better marks than others but it was ok, generally speaking.

Well, let’s get started!

In our class last week we talked about travelling and transport.

We interviewed our partner and reported to the class. These were the questions in the questionnaire.

1. When was the last time you travelled by plane, train, car?

2. Where did you go?

3. How long did the journey take?

4. Did you have a good journey?

5. In general, which of the three forms of transport do you prefer? Why?

Most of you agreed that the car is the most convenient and the plane is the fastest. I agree!

Then, we read a text about two journalists that set off (started a trip) to find out (to discover) what is the best way to get to (arrive in) Avignon from London; by train, plane or car. And we listened to the third one.

These were their opinions:

*London to Avignon*	*By plane*	*By train*	*By car*
How long did it take? (from home)	5 hours 45 mins.	6 hours 45 mins.	14 hours
How much did it cost?	£63	£65.80	£200
Comfort /10 (out of ten)	5	8	6
Convenience /10 (out of ten)	5	9	10

So, getting from London to Avignon by plane only takes 5 hours and three quarters of an hour (45 mins.) the person who got there by car, gave this means of transport (10/10) ten out of ten for convenience. And getting to Avignon by train cost sixty-five pounds eighty (£65.80)
