Today we have a new theme. The theme of our lesson is «London». Today we are going to talk about transport in London. What do you know about London and its transport? II. Phonetic drills. Let's practice our tongue and try to learn the poem. In the street you can see Buses, cars and a taxi. In the sky there is a plane, On the rails there is a train. III. Doing exercises. Exercise: 1 p. 119. Listen and read. Transport in London If it has two floors it’s called a double-decker and you can get a good view from the top. If it has only one floor it’s called a single- decker. Buses have a two person crew it’s a driver who drives, of course, and the conductor (or the conductress if it’s a woman) who takes your money. Keep your ticket as the inspector might want to check it. You catch a bus waiting at a bus stop. A double-decker bus has an upstairs (top) and a downstairs. For longer distances take a long distance bus called a coach which is slower but cheaper. The use of the word “inside” for the lower deck dates from the early days when the top deck was open, so that only passengers on the lower deck were inside. People queue for buses in Britain. But you shouldn’t jump the queue: people don’t like it. Only a limited number is allowed to stand inside. And no one may stand on top. Smoking in allowed on top but you cannot smoke inside.
