Transport
- 1. Expressions for talking about transport and travel
- 2. I arrived at Stansted airport and went to the check-in desk. The ground attendant gave me the boarding pass and I went through security, where my hand luggage was checked. I waited in the departure lounge until they called my flight. Then, I queued at the boarding gate and finally got on the plane. I was sitting next to the aisle. The plane took off on time and I started to relax. At last, I was on my way home!
- 3. I went to the ticket office at Victoria bus station and bought a return ticket from London to Manchester. I had to wait at stop12 for the bus, when it arrived I showed my ticket to the driver and got on. The bus was very comfortable with a video and air conditioning. The only problem was the traffic on the motorway. We stopped once to pick up more passengers in St Albans. It took us 6 hours to get to Manchester Bus Station, when I got off the bus I was very tired!
- 4. I went to the ticket office at the station and bought a cheap-day return ticket to London. I waited on platform 2 until the train arrived. I got a seat next to the window. It was rush-hour so many passengers got on at the other stations and they had to stand up for the journey. We finally arrived at London Liverpool Street Station and I got off and went through the barrier. I was ready for a great day in London.
- 5. I decided to take the car to the town centre to do some shopping. I got in and started the engine. I didnt have much petrol, so I stopped at a petrol station to fill up. Near the town centre I had to wait in a traffic jam at a junction because the traffic lights werent working. Finally I got to the town centre and went to the multi-storey car park. I parked the car and got out. I needed a cup of coffee after all the driving and waiting!!
- 6. It was a lovely day, so I decided to go for a bike ride in the countryside. I got my bicycle out the garage but saw that one of my tyres was flat, so I had to pump it up. I put on my helmet and got on my bike and started pedalling along the cycle lane into the country. There are a lot of hills where I live and it was hard work riding up them but very nice going downhill. I stopped for a cup of tea at a nice caf辿 before cycling home.
- 7. I wanted to explore London on foot. I opened my street map and decided where I wanted to go. I crossed the street from my hotel and walked towards Traflagar Square. There was a lot of traffic, so I had to wait at a pedestrian crossing to cross the roads. I walked around the Trafalgar Square . There were a lot of people walking on the pavement so I decided to continue my walk in St James Park. It was lovely strolling through the park in the middle of London. I stopped in the park to give my feet a rest and ate my sandwiches. Then I walked back to my hotel
