Traffic rules
Beginner
A: do you think we should travel by bus or by train?
B; it’s a difficult choice. The train is a litter faster, but much more
expensive.
A; we could face delays if we travel by bus, thanks to traffic jams.
B; buses are more cmp3ped and you can’t walk around.
A; that’s true, but I feel that I see more when I travel by bus.
B; really? I think you see more traveling by train.
a; so, which fomp3 of transport do you prefer to use?
b; I prefer going by train, ever though it costs more.
a: ok them. We’ll go by train. I’m sure we’ll have a good journey. Shall we
go to the station and buy the tickets?
B: the train aren’t usually full. We can get them on the day we travel. We
should buy return ticket because they are much cheaper than getting two
singles.
A; we should take a packed lunch on the journey. The food they sell on the
trains is always expensive.
Intemp3ediate
A; how do you think the transport system in our city could be improved.
B; I think that the public transport system could be made simpler. I never
know where the bus routes actually go. The routes seem to twist and turn rather
than going roughly in a straight line.
A; I think we just need to build more roads. Then there would be more space
for cars to drive and we’d have fewer traffic jams.
B: if we built more roads, people would just fill them with cars again. I
think we should discourage people from using their cars.
A; how would you do that?
B; I think we should do a few things at once. Improving public transport
would encourage people to use that. If we also charge people to use their cars
in the city centre, they won’t use their cars as much.
A; I don’t know. I think it’s unfair to make drivers pay more money. They
already pay a lot of tax-petrol tax, for example.
B; I think that they should pay more tax. Look at the damage they cause to
the environment and people’s health by discharging all those exhaust fumes.
A; the air would certainly be cleaner if there were fewer cars being used
in the city. The problem is that people will see it as reducing their freedom.
It well be unpopular.
B; that’s a good point. Car owners will probably be against it, but people
who use public transport will be in favor of it. |
