TEXT A. DIFFERENT MEANS OF TRAVEL .
DIFFERENT MEANS OF TRAVEL. Personally 1 hate seeing people off. I prefer being seen off myself. For me there is nothing like travel by air; it is more comfortable, more convenient and of course far quicker than any other method. I think I should like to say a word or two for trains. If you are hungry, you can have a meal in the dining-car; and if the journey is a long one you can have a wonderful bed in a sleeper. There is the movement, the excitement, the gaiety of people going away or waiting to meet friends. There are the shouts of the porters as they pull luggage along the platforms to the waiting trains, the crowd at the booking-office getting tickets, the hungry and thirsty ones hurrying to the refreshment rooms before the train starts. Do you know a more exciting place than a big railway-station? A big sea port, For me there is no travel so fine as by boat. I love to feel the deck of the boat under my feet, to see the rise and fall of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in my face and hear the cry of the sea-gulls. Well, you may say what you like about aeroplane flights, sea voyages, railway journeys or tours by car, but give me a walking tour any time. What does the motorist see of the country? He takes mountain paths through the heather, he wanders by the side of quiet lakes and through the shade of woods. He sees the real country, the wild flowers, the young birds in their nests, the deer in the forest; he feels the quietness and calm of nature. From "Essential English for Foreign Students" by С. Eckersley, Book 4, Lnd. Well, here we are at last! When I get into the boat-train, 71 I feel that holidays have already begun. Have you got the tickets, Jan? Yes, here they are. I booked seats for you and me; trains are usually crowded at this time. We have numbers A 26 and A 30; two corner-seats in a non-smoker, one seat facing the engine, one back to the engine. Is that all right? May I sit facing the engine? You can take whichever seat you like. You can get into the train now. I know that I shall have a very comfortable journey. Jan will see to everything — find the seats on the train, see that my luggage is all right, and get it through the customs. A VOYAGE ROUND EUROPE. Are you back from your holidays already? Where have you been? Oh, you lucky thing! Where did you sail from? We went ashore at each one and went on some really interesting trips sightseeing. No, we went by coach. Only a little, I was fine, until two days after Gibraltar, The sea suddenly became very rough, and I had to stay in my cabin. No, we only saw the coast-line from the deck. Yes, and in the Atlantic Ocean too. Each a glimpse and gone for ever! Stevenson NOTES ON SYNONYMS. The act of travelling can be described by a number of synonyms which differ by various implications see Notes on Synonyms, p. They all describe the act of going from one place to another that is why they are synonyms , but differ by the length of time taken by that act, by its purpose, destination or by the method of travelling. Be careful to argue your case well: What means of travel do you know? Why are many people fond of travelling? Do you like travelling by train? What are the advantages of a sea-voyage? What are the advantages of hitch-hiking? What kind of people usually object to travelling by sea? What are the advantages and disadvantages of travelling by air? Have you ever travelled by air? How do you like it? What do you think about walking tours? What is, in your opinion, the most enjoyable means of travel? What way of travelling affords most comfort for elderly people? Do you think travel helps a person to become wiser? Fill in appropriate words consult the list of synonyms on pp. Last week we made a wonderful It took us four hours. Well, when we found ourselves No car could have driven Two friends are discussing different ways of spending their holidays. They both want to travel, but one of them is an enthusiast ready for anything and the other is a cautious and a sceptical person. A person who has just returned from a foreign cruise is answering the questions of an eager listener. I hate to change; when are we due to arrive? I objected to the sea trip strongly. A sea trip does you good when you are going to have a couple of months of it, but, for a week, it is wicked. You start on Monday with the idea that you are going to enjoy yourself. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, you wish you were dead. On Saturday you are able to swallow a little beef tea, and to sit up on deck, and answer with a wan, sweet smile when kind-hearted people ask you how you feel now. On Sunday, you begin to walk about again, and take solid food. I remember my brother-in-law going for a short sea trip once for the benefit of his health. He took a return berth from London to Liverpool; and when he got to Liverpool, the only thing he was anxious about was to sell that return ticket. It was offered round the town at a tremendous reduction; so I am told; and was eventually sold for eighteen pence to a youth who had just been advised by his medical man to go to the seaside, and take exercise. He himself — my brother-in-law — came back by train. He said the North-Western Railway was healthy enough for him. From "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Histories of the time will go something like this: Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. The future history books might also record that we did not use our eyes. Car drivers in particular, never want to stop. But actual arrival when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. The traveller on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. He experiences to present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound satisfying sleep will be his: Different patterns of writing see "Studies" in Unit One seldom occur alone, more often they blend into one another, especially in letter writing. These are the parts of a letter: For each of these parts usage has prescribed certain set forms depending on different types of letters — personal or business letters, informal or formal social notes. In a business letter it is always correct to use a personal title with the name of the person addressed. A business title should not precede the name. Correct personal titles are: In personal letters either a colon or a comma may be used after the greeting. A comma is considered less formal. But what method of travelling do you prefer? Maybe; but I think a better cure is a large piece of dry land. АТ ТНЕ STATION F.: You will be wanner inside. A VOYAGE ROUND EUROPE L.: Well, we left from Odessa Did you call at any European ports? Did you go by train or did you hire a car? Were you ever seasick? But was your father all right? Yes, he was fine all the time. Did you go ashore when you reached Spain? And did you go for a swim in the Mediterranean? Memory Work From a Railway Carriage Faster than fairies, faster than witches, Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches; And charging along like troops in a battle, All through the meadows, the horses and cattle; All of the sights of the hill and the plain Fly as thick as driving rain; And ever again, in the wink of an eye, Painted stations whistle by. Stevenson NOTES ON SYNONYMS The act of travelling can be described by a number of synonyms which differ by various implications see Notes on Synonyms, p. He is writing a book about his travels in Africa. Going on a journey is always exciting. The idea of an Atlantic voyage terrified her: Did you enjoy your week-end trip to the seaside? Hitch-hiking is a comparatively new way of travelling which gives one a chance to see much without spending anything. Where do I change for on shore Paris? It took us four hours??? And where did you go Work in groups of four or five: You are a family deciding on the type of holiday you will go on next summer. Then report to the other families on your final decision, explaining the reasons for your choice. Point out advantages and disadvantages, giving warning based on personal experience.

The people on board throw coloured streamers to those standing below, and the side of the ship is gay with the thin lines of paper, red and green and yellow and blue. When the ship moves slowly away the streamers break softly, and it is like the breaking of human ties. For an hour the fragments trail down the hull and then they blow away.
