My 23-year old daughter will be in London on her own for 2 months and is wondering what the best way is to travel around the UK. A lot of her time will be spent in London but she would also like to visit other parts of England, as well as Scotland and Wales. She thinks she will take the tube most days while she is in London (she’ll be living in Zone 6). What is the most cost effective and efficient way to get around in the UK? Does she need to purchase an Oyster card and a railpass? Can/should she purchase either of these from the US before she leaves? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

ММоя 23-летняя дочь будет в Лондоне в течение 2 месяцев и задается вопросом, какой лучший способ путешествовать по Великобритании. Большая часть ее времени будет проведена в Лондоне, но она также хотела бы посетить другие части Англии, а также Шотландию и Уэльс. Она думает, что она возьмет трубку в течение нескольких дней, пока она в Лондоне (она будет жить в Зоне 6). Каков самый экономичный и эффективный способ передвижения в Великобритании? Нужно ли ей приобретать карту Oyster и рельс? Может ли / она купить любую из них из США до ее ухода? Любая помощь очень ценится! Спасибо.

Lots of my friends are not keen on reading books. They prefer going to discos, playing computer games, watching TV and videos. I’m shy and not very sociable and I don’t spend much time going to noisy parties. But I don’t feel lonely thanks to the books I love.
When I was a tilde girl, [ loved turning the pages over and over, looking at the beautiful pictures and guessing what the characters would say and do. I started reading when I was only-five. I imagined myself travelling everywhere, speaking different languages, climbing mountains and flying to other planets, I believe that nearly all I know I learned from books. Those of my friends who read a lot are smart and interesting to talk to. As a rule they are very good at English, Reading is a special world full of adventures and joy.

1) Read about the public transport system in these European capitals, choose from the sentences A – H the one which fits each gap (1-7). There’s one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

A. Getting there means choosing between an efficient underground system or being stuck in traffic jams for much of the journey.
B. Most city dwellers bought a second car.
C. The ring road was opposed by environmentalists but has turned out to be a great success.
D. Many of the city’s highways are blocked off to allow construction work go ahead.
E. Predictably, private cars were found to be the main source of pollution.
F. Half the money is provided by the government, the remainder comes from fares.
G. Above ground, Londoners are not doing much better.
H. It will certainly be the most modern.
A. VIENNA
Although Vienna already has a superb public transport system, work has begun on planning to divert traffic away from the streets of the city. Key plans include building new and improved motorway and rail links and a city ring road. Within the city, 30 kilometers of underground lines will be added to the Metro over the next ten years. At present, millions of euros is poured into Vienna’s public transport system every year. (1)_____ The underground links well with the extensive tram lines and bus routes. There are already 500 kms of cycle paths, although Viennese cyclists grumble at deep potholes in the paths.
B. BERLIN
Huge building sites, large-scale repairs of roads and the reconnection of the two halves of the city have all combined to make Berlin a difficult place to move about in. (2)____ Several of the underground and cross-town railway stations are closed down for renovation. For car drivers, the worst problem is trying “to get to the other side” – to move from east to west or vice versa. There are simply not enough roads to meet the demand. The good news is that all this inconvenience is working towards a good cause. When all the building and rebuilding is finished, Berlin’s commuters will have one of Europe’s most efficient traffic systems. (3)___ At present, the “Green Wave” guarantees the free flow of traffic along the city’s main streets: drivers who keep to 50 km can hit a wave of green lights and avoid getting stuck in traffic.
C. ATHENS
The Greek metropolis was confirmed as Europe’s most polluted city this week. (4)____ Given the city’s poor public transport, cars are overwhelmingly the means of transport chosen by most Athenians. Unfortunately, it is a choice to which Athens is particularly ill-suited, with its high buildings, narrow streets and a single ring road, which forces most vehicles entering the city center at some point along their journey. The most drastic of a series of measures – banning odd or even number-plated cars from the city center on alternate working days – has failed to solve the problem. (5)_____ The government has also begun investing heavily in public transport and, after long delays, is now building the city’s first underground metro system.
D. LONDON
For a nation which once prided itself on building roads and railways for others, transport in the capital is in a worry state. Today, the world’s oldest Tube (the first section was opened in 1863) still boasts 735 million passenger journeys a year. But it is widely regarded as over-priced, inefficient and in need of extensive repair. (6)____ The worsening of public services has brought an increase in private transport. The subsequent congestion on the capital’s streets was made worse when cars were banned from the City, London’s financial center, to follow bomb attacks.
E. STOCKHOLM
It is ten kilometers from my house in the Stockholm suburbs to the office in the city center where I work. (7)____ For me, public transport wins hands down. If I leave home just before eight o’clock, I’m at the office by half past eight. The train runs every three minutes or so at peak times on the main routes. During the rush hour it can be difficult to get a seat, but it’s rare to be crammed in like sardines, as in London or Paris. For the price of a monthly pass, you can travel on all buses and trains within Stockholm – to me that is true value for money and certainly less than the cost of the petrol you would use. By comparison, driving to work, with the congestion and difficulty to find parking space, is just not worth to hassle.

1) почитайте про систему общественного транспорта в этих европейских столицах, выберите из предложений А – ч каждого народа существуют (1-7). Есть одно дополнительное предложение, которое вам не нужно использовать.  
А. Как выбирать между эффективной подземной системы или застряли в пробках большую часть поездки.  
Б. Большинство горожан купили вторую машину.  
С. МКАДе против выступили экологи, но оказалось большим успехом.  
Д. Многие из магистралей города перекрываются, чтобы разрешить строительные работы идти вперед.  
Е. Предсказуемо, частные автомобили были признаны основным источником загрязнения.  
Ф. Половину денег обеспечивается государством, остальная часть поступает из тарифы.  
Г. Над землей, лондонцы не намного лучше.  
А. Вена 
Хотя Вены уже есть великолепная система общественного транспорта, начата работа по планированию, чтобы отвести транспорт с улиц города. Основные планы включают строительство новых и улучшенных автомагистралей и железнодорожного сообщения и городской кольцевой дороги. В пределах города, 30 километров подземных линий будет добавлен к метро в течение ближайших десяти лет. В настоящее время миллионы евро заливают в систему общественного транспорта в Вене каждый год. (1)_____ подземном связи с большой трамвайные линии и автобусные маршруты. Есть уже 500 км велосипедных дорожек, хотя Венский велосипедисты жаловались на глубокие рытвины в пути.  
Б. Берлин 
Огромные строительные площадки, масштабный ремонт дорог и воссоединения двух половинок города есть все необходимое для комфортного Берлин трудное место, чтобы передвигаться на. (2)____ несколько метро и через весь город на железнодорожные вокзалы закрываются на ремонт. Для водителей автомобилей, худшая проблема заключается в том, “чтобы добраться до другой стороны” – двигаться с востока на запад или наоборот. Там просто не хватает дорог, чтобы удовлетворить спрос. Хорошая новость заключается в том, что все это неудобство работу по уважительной причине. Когда все здания и реконструкция закончена, пассажиры в Берлине будет иметь одно из самых эффективных в Европе транспортных систем. (3)___ В настоящее время “Зеленая С. Афины 
Греческого метрополиса была признана самым грязным городом Европы на этой неделе. (4)____ учитывая неразвитость общественного транспорта в городе, машины в подавляющем большинстве транспортные средства выбирают большинство афинян. К сожалению, это выбор, к которому Афины особенно плохо подходит, с его высокими зданиями, узкими улочками и один кольцевой дороги, которая вынуждает большинство автомобилей, въезжающих в центр города в какой-то точке их пути. Самые крутые серии мер – запрет на четное или нечетное Кол-плакированный автомобили из центра города на другие рабочие дни – не удалось решить проблему. (5)_____ правительство также начали активно вкладывать деньги в общественный транспорт и, после долгих проволочек, сейчас строят первый в городе подземный метрополитена.  
Д. Лондон 
Для нации, которая когда-то гордилась строительство автомобильных и железных дорог для других, транспорта в столице в беспокойство государства. Сегодня, старая трубка мира (первая секция была открыта в 1863 году) по-прежнему может похвастаться 735 миллионов пассажирских поездок в год. Но он широко рассматривается как более дорогие, неэффективные и нуждающиеся в капитальном ремонте. (6)____ ухудшение общественных услуг повлекло за собой увеличение частного транспорта. Последующие заторы на столичных улицах был сделан хуже, когда автомобили были запрещены из города, финансового центра Лондона, в последующих взрывов.  
Е. Стокгольме 
Это десять километров от моего дома в Стокгольмском пригороде в офис в центре города, где я работаю. (7)___ Для меня_, общественный транспорт выигрывает руки вниз. Если я уйду домой до восьми часов, я на работе с половины девятого. Поезда ходят каждые три минуты в часы пик на основных маршрутах. В час пик это может быть трудно получить место, но это редкость, чтобы быть набито как сельдей в бочке, 
как в Лондоне или Париже. По цене месячного абонемента, вы можете путешествовать на всех автобусах и поездах в Стокгольм – для меня это истинное значение для денег и, конечно, меньше, чем стоимость бензина можно использовать. По сравнению с ним, ехал на работу, пробки и трудно найти парковку, просто не стоит хлопот.

5. how do you prefer to travel and why?tell about you last travelling.
Отвечаете на вопросы

There are a number of transportation vehicles to reach any destination, most prevalent ones are buses and taxis.
Travelling by plane has significant beauties, one of which is fast service.
Car is most-used vehicle which is good with its easy-shiftness, however it is the most pollution-producing machine. Train is quite common in any country which has highways usually they are fixed along highways, it is considered the fastest earth-based machine.
Ship is mostly used by countries that is near to seasides, it is usefull when transporting huge and heavy goods, but it can be unsafe.
Car is preffered by majority beacause it is private, which means you can do everything with it such as modification according to your taste.
Personally i would find travelling on car as the cosiest means of transportation because it allows you to go to anywhere in anytime. The last time i have travelled was on 28th of january when with my friend we headed to mountains on train.
