2 How far is it from your home to school?

1 A quarter of UK secondary school kids 2 Helen3 Jamie and Laura4 John

Bike it!These days more and more young people are

going to school by car. In the UK a quarter of

all secondary school kids go to school by car.

But experts say it’s healthier to walk or cycle.

What do you think?

So in the UK there are lots of ways to get to school. In other countries it’s different.

For example, in many parts of the USA there isn’t much public transport. There, almost

everybody goes to school by school bus.

Jamie & LauraWe go to school by car. Our

parents think it’s safer and faster

than walking or cycling. Actually,

it’s slower because the traffic’s

always terrible in the morning.

And it’s definitely more boring

than walking. When you walk to

school, you see your friends.

John I skateboard from my house to

the bus stop. Then I get the bus

to the town centre. Skateboarding’s more exciting

than getting the bus, but the

bus is better because my school

is eight miles from where I live.

And it’s at the top of a hill.

Helen I usually walk or cycle to school.

I prefer cycling because it’s

quicker than walking. My mum

says bikes are four times faster

than walking and you use the

same energy. My dad doesn’t

like cycling. He says it’s more

dangerous than walking.

Students compare different opinions on types of transport and draw conclusions.ReadingBike it!

Warmer• Students close their books and try to remember as

many of the forms of transport from the picture on page 25 as possible. Can they remember the order in which they appeared? Students look back at page 25 to check.

• Ask: Why isn’t the traffic moving in the picture? (The traffic lights are red and a farmer is crossing the road with some sheep and a dog) Ask: How is the farmer travelling? Teach on foot and point out that we usually use the preposition by to say how we travel: by car, by plane, etc., and that this is an exception.

1 • Invite a student to ask you the questions, and answer

them. If your answer to question 2 is in kilometres, point out that in Britain distances are usually given in miles. Do any students know how many kilometres there are in a mile? (1.6)

• In pairs, students answer the questions.

• Students look at the photographs. How do they think the different people travel to school?

• Students read and listen to the interviews and note how the people go to school. Point out that quick is a synonym of fast.

Chicago’s in the Midwest of the United States. It’s the biggest city in Illinois and three million people live here. Most people speak English, but some speak Spanish, Polish, Arabic or other languages. It’s a multicultural city!

Chicago’s a great place to visit! You can see museums, parks and the Willis Tower (the tallest building). The most popular tourist spot is the Ferris Wheel – I often go there on Sundays. We have an important food festival in July called The Taste.

The best way to travel is by ‘L’ train because it’s faster than driving. You can also cycle, but it’s cold in winter and it rains a lot in summer. It’s windy too, and some people call Chicago ‘the Windy City’. The coldest month is January and I think the best time to come is in May or June.

The London Underground is more than just a railway. Its logo and map are two of London’s most famous symbols, and it’s one of the first things that people associate with the city.

The Tube, as Londoners call it, opened in 1863, and is the oldest underground railway in the world. It’s also one of the world’s longest; on the Central Line you can travel 54 kilometres without changing trains! However, Seoul subway in South Korea is longer and Beijing’s underground will be even longer when it’s finished in 2020.

The Tube isn’t only long – it’s also very busy. Every day, people make about three million journeys. All those passengers generate a lot of rubbish, so at night an army of workers, clean the stations and the tunnels.

Because they work in the tunnels at night, these cleaners see the Tube’s ghost stations. These are old stations that are now closed. And near a ghost station called Aldwych, some cleaners say they see the ghost of an actress. This is perhaps because Aldwych is on the site of an old theatre. Fortunately, she’s not there in the morning when passengers return!

Students autonomously use the media available to them to research a topic.CultureUnder London

CLIL objective: Students learn about the London Underground.

Warmer• Play Hangman with the words underground, metro and

subway.• Ask students what the connection between the words

is. Explain that they all mean underground railway in different parts of the world. Subway is generally used in the USA, underground is used in the UK, and metro was first used in Paris but is now used in many other countries.

1 • In pairs, students answer the questions. Draw

attention to the example answers to get them started.• Students note where the underground in the pictures

is. To check answers, ask them to read the first paragraph of the article. Check they understand logo and map.

• Explain that the London Underground holds some world records. Students decide which records they are.

• Write the records on the board. For each one, students put up their hands if they think it is one of the London Underground’s records. Note the number of hands for each one.

• Tell them they will find out the answers to number 3 when they read and listen to the text.

1 Students’ own answers2 It’s in London.3 Students’ own answers

Answers

• Write the following questions on the board. In pairs, students discuss their answers: How often do you use an underground railway?What are the good and bad things about travelling by underground?

• Invite some students to share their answers with the rest of the class.

• Students read and listen to the article and check their answers. How many students guessed the records correctly?

Tokyo’s and Moscow’s metro systems are generally considered to be the busiest in the world, though internet sources don’t agree on which one is busier. Tokyo Metro is quoted on the internet as being the world’s cleanest metro system.

Did you know?

3 • Check that students understand will and cleaners in

questions 3 and 5. Explain that will is used to talk about future facts.

• Students read the article again and answer the questions. Encourage them to use complete sentences.

1 It opened in 1863.2 You can travel 54 kilometres without changing

trains.3 It will be in Beijing.4 People clean the stations and tunnels at night.5 They see the ghost of an actress.6 The station was built on the site of an old theatre.

Quest• Students find the names of five other cities with an

underground railway. Encourage them to find cities in different parts of the world. They can do this by entering the name of a city and the word metro into an internet search engine. Also suggest that students find out when each underground railway opened.
