Don't leave this for later. We'll be talking about this for a week or two only!
You might want to have a transcript of my discussion:
As for travelling by car, I find cycling’s not only the healthiest means of transport I can think of, but it’s also a lot more exciting than driving. I got my driving license in May, in fact, I’ve been driving to work since September, and it gets rather boring at times, as most of my driving takes place on the motorway where things are quite monotonous, so what I do is listen to music, audiobooks, and radio stations to stay focused. Before I got my license I travelled to work by train, which is a lot cheaper than travelling by car, but not as convenient. Driving to work is saving me over 10 hours a week!

I wouldn’t
say that travelling by bike in Valencia is a particularly dangerous thing to
do. I’ve been a cyclist for many years, and in my experience, most motorists
and motorcyclists are careful not to endanger the cyclists. However, it is true
that although there aren’t many accidents with cyclists involved, when there’s
one it’s often fatal. In any case, travelling by bike in Valencia is safer than
travelling by moped, which is very popular with teenagers. These young
motorists take too many risks, which causes really bad accidents every week.

Hello, I'm Cristina and i'd like to speak about different means of transport.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite way of travelling is on foot, because i hate driving and travelling by car, train or plane.
I think, walking is the best way to get around the city, above all, if the city is compact like Valencia.
I enjoy going and doing some window shopping, for this reason i prefer to way on foot.
Other reason to prefer it, is because i get motion sickness when i'm in a car or boat, for instance.
As well as, travelling on foot is cheaper and more ecological than travelling by bus or car, because you don't have to pay petrol, and is impossible to have a parking fine.
If i'd can i'll walk on foot to all places!Also, i'd like to say that, near where my grandmother lives, in Valencia, there's cycleway, and the city council offer bicycles for eighteen euros a year, so my boyfriend and me, now have one.
I like cycling along the old river with my friends. I don't think than travelling by bike is more dangerous than travelling by motorcycle or car, in fact, i'm sure that travelling by bike is the safest mean of transport (if you don't cycle along the road at rush hour especially or along the sidewalk, of course!)
Finally, i'd like to say that i usually travel by train when i need to go to Valencia, which is cheaper than travelling by car, but it´s the most boring mean of transport because the trip it´s extremelly long.

Hi I’m Carmen and I’m going to try to talk about the differences between means of transport
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the best way is to go on foot or by bike to the sites, but I think it depends on where you want to go.
In spite of that, I think I use my own car so much, but this is the result of I have used the public transport to go to the University for a lot of years.
A few years ago went to my university took me 1 hour and 30 minutes because I was going by train and then by subway, but now the same journey takes me 45 minutes with my own car. In my case the time it is really important.
I think the best option is using public transport because it pollutes less than private transport and nowadays I believe is cheaper travel by bus or by train than by car because the petrol is very expensive, but for my use public transport is difficult because the communication between my village and the city is really poor. I believe I’ll keep using my own car.

Hello, My name is Enrique. I´m student of 1st Intermediate in the group 112 in EOI Alzira. I´m talking about my favourite travel and the differences with others transport.
ReplyDeleteIn general, I prefer travel by car. It depends on travel. When I need to go to work, I prefer travel by car, because it took me just five minutes from home. It´s the quickest way to get to Alzira. The true, it´s more expensive than travel by bicycle or on foot, but it´s the most convenient for I´ll arrive on time!.
When I travel by car, with my family, it´s the most comfortable transport, because I can stop when it´s necessary. The cost is more expensive than the train or bus, but it isn´t the most dangerous. In my opinion, to travel by plane is more boring and more expensive than going by car.
In the end, going by car with my family (I have two children) is the best travel. It´s more exciting than train, more convenience than a plane. When I travel by car, I can listen my favourite music (or the children´s favourite music). My children can see movies in the tablet, or singing all the songs.
For all of this, I prefer travel by car.

Hi everybody, i'm Ximo and i'm going to talk about transports.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot types of transport, but for me depending on where i want to go, i would choose one of them.
My favourite is the plane, because if you travel with it, you have more probability to go further, so it's more interesting and exciting.
But for us, people who live in the city, i think that public transport (bus, underground, trams...) is the best option to move around it. Also, these transports are the most safe and economic. However, people prefer the private transport, her car or her motorbike, but these are more expensive than the others. And in the case of motorbike are dangerous. But if you want to take care with you and do sport, the best option is by bike or walking. It's the option more healthy.
Now, everyone who decides which is the best option.

Hi, my name is Ana Roca
ReplyDeleteI'm going to talk about different means of transport.
I think the bike is the best mean of transport. It's good for your healthy, doesn't pollute environment, you haven't to spend money to bicycling, but can be dangerous to use it for the big city because there are a lot of means of transport together and the bike is one of the smallest and less insurance if you have an accident.
If you want to move in the city, bus is the best mean of transport becaus is cheaper than car and you haven't worry for the parking.
I live in a village and I always move in car to all sities, but I should walk more and exercise more, but I always go running everywhere, I need the car.
Now, I'm going to walk more often so It gives me free air and sunshine.
Finally I would say the best mean of transport are our body, specially our legs, because: doesn't spend money, is healthy for us and it let us enjoy the our wonderfyl wheather.
Bye my partners.

Hi my name is Carla and I live in a small village where there aren't any problems about traffic. Most people go on foot because distances are short: less than one kilometre from one side to the other. Anyway cars are necessary because many people in my village work in another town and we haven't got a train station. The nearest one is in Tavernes and you have to take your car or bus to ho there.
ReplyDeleteMy village has got 2000 people, so children usually go through the streets by bike and there are very few accidents.
In my opinion, walking is healthier than any other mean of transport, however you can't go very far, and then you have to use the vehicles.
After walking the healthiest and maybe the fastest way to travel is the train, in case you don't go very far of course. But if you have to go to another country for intance, you need to take the plane but this is more expensive and noisy than other means of transport.
So, believe me and walk and ride bike as much as possible. Then you will live more years will lose some weight and will also get fit.
Bye bye
Hello, good afternoon my name is Sandra and I will talk about the different means of transport.
ReplyDeleteI live in Alzira a city that has more than forty-four thousand inhabitants although the city is big enough you can walk to all sites.
I even have a driver's license, I prefer to walk everywhere because that does not pollute the environment with combustible and is also healthier than the car.
But when I travel to Valencia or other cities if I use the car because I feel more secure and gives me more autonomy than the train.
For short distances the best means of transport is the train, the bus, the subway, the car ... because they are safe and cheap.Definitely the best mode of transport for long journeys is the plane because it's the fastest, comfortable and can enjoy wonderful views.
In conclusion there are diferent options for travelling.
Goodbye!

ReplyDeleteHello everybody, I'm Marta Doménech, and I'm going to compare different means of transport.
DeleteI will talk about travelling by plane, by car and by train. If you want to travel abroad, I think that travelling by plane is faster than any other means of transport, consequently you can spend more time sightseeing. If you want to save any money, the only thing you have to do is to look for the cheapest flight, because it's the most expensive mean of transport. A disadvantage could be, that you have to wait a long time checking your luggage and if it weighs more than twenty kilograms, you have to pay extra taxes.
If you are afraid of planes, you have the possibility of travelling by train. This way you don't have to wait long time in a queue, and you can carry what you want in your luggage. This option is cheaper than the previous one, and people usually use it to short distances.
The best option could be driving your car at night, because there isn't much traffic, and you can also visit some other places on your way. But it could be extremly dangerous if you choose to travel at the rush hours, because you can find hundreds of cars on the road. Nowadays, petrol is really expensive so you would spend lots of money on it.
As I see it, your choice depends on your budget and the time you can spend travelling. It's also different if you want to travel to Bilbao than if you go to Australia, where the only way would be go by plane.
So it's up to you choice the transport you prefer.

Hello, this is Alberto from the First intermediate group, I go to speak about the different means of transport that I use.
ReplyDeleteAs I haven’t the driving licence, I always have to use the public transport. I think that the public transport is the best kind of transport that we can use, but in Spain is really expensive compared with other countries of Europe.
Here the public transport is very deficient, there is very little frequency of pass and always there are delays.
When it lived abroad, I always moved by bike, like all the people in Belgium and Holland. Even when it’s raining.
Instead, in Valencia anybody uses the bike, in spite of the good weather that we have always here.
I think that we have to use much more the public transport, but the government has to take measures to improve the service.
Also, I think that the cities of Spain are not well adapted to circulate by bike and this has to change if we want to improve.
Hi everybody. My name is Toni and I’m going to talk about some means of transport. My favorite mean of transport is the bicycle, because it’s the cheapest and environmentally friendly. Bike isn’t as fast as other means of transport but allows you to enjoy the scenery. I prefer the bike because with it I can go to most places, and you can do exercise too. The second mode of transport I use is the car, I prefer the small car that pollutes less and is easier to find parking. Car is faster than bike, but you need to have a driver license. All means of transport have their advantages, for example, the plane is faster and safer, but it probably will be delayed, the public transport is more convenient because you don’t have to look for parking, but it isn’t as comfortable as others. Train is my favorite public transport, because it’s faster and punctual, but it’s a bit pricey. There are a lot of means of transport and everyone have their favorite.
ReplyDeleteHi! I think the best way of transport is your own car, because you can go where you want in the moment you need it. In my case,i haven´t a car and i use the bus,train or my feet to move anywhere. Really get a taxi or a jet are a public transport more expensive than bus or train, for example. And the bicycle is the most cheap of all, cause you dont have to pay anyone,because you are who drive. I use the bus four days a week and it´s a safe public transport and you don´t have to look for parking, but you depend of the timetable.Maybe for this,i hope have my own car and not depend of any timetable or be late somewhere cause i can´t get the public transport.
