And what is your favorite means of transport?

1. Air travel

Almost all people are fond of travelling. It is very interesting to see new places, another towns and countries. People may travel either for pleasure or on business. There are various methods of travelling. For me there is nothing like travel by air, it is more comfortable, more convenient and, of course, far quicker than any other method. There is none of the dust and dirt of a railway or car journey, none of the trouble of changing from train to steamer and then to another train.

2. Train travel

With a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure combined. From the comfortable seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of the whole country-side. If you are hungry, you can have a meal in the dining – car, and if a journey is a long one you can have a wonderful bed in a sleeper.

3. Travelling by car

Many people like to travel by car. It is interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time, you can stop when and where you like, you do not have to buy tickets or carry your suitcases.

4. Travel by boat

Traveling by ship is also very popular now. It is very pleasant to feel the deck of the ship under the feet, to see the rise and fall of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in the face and hear the cry of the seagulls.

5. Hiking type of travel

A very popular method of travel is hiking. It is traveling on foot. Walking tours are very interesting. Hitch-hiking is a very popular method of traveling among young people. But it is not so popular in our country as abroad.

Working with a letter

thank you. We've received a letter from abroad. Let's read it:

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend Frank.

... Last week I went to Liverpool. It was amazing!!! Have you ever been abroad? Do you like to travel? Who do you like to travel with? What kind of travel do you prefer? ...

Write him a letter and answer his 3 questions.
Write 80–100 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.

Who can remind how we write letters? (address, date, greeting…)

And your home task will be to write the answer to Frank.

1. Final stage. Reflection

Thank you for your work. Did you like the lesson? What have you learned from the lesson?

Our lesson I would like to finish with the poem “Different languages”

I met a girl
Who came from another land.
I couldn't speak
her language,
But I took her by the hand.
We danced together
had such fun,
Dancing is a language
You can speak with anyone.
