Note: Travel (noun) is a general word, meaning to move from place to place, usually over long distances (air travel, food and travel, space travel, business travel, a travel agency).
Journey (noun) means moving from one place to another, especially in a vehicle
(a bus journey, a train journey, the journey to school, my journey to work). It is a single piece of travel. Letʼs say we go from London to Leeds then back again. That is two journeys (London to Leeds is the first journey, Leeds to London is the second journey).
Trip (noun) describes the whole process of going somewhere and coming back
(a day trip, a round trip, a round-the-world trip, a boat trip and a business trip). It is more than one journey. Once again, letʼs go from London to Leeds then back again. That is two journeys, but it is one trip. We say go on a trip.
Voyage (noun) is less common nowadays. A voyage is a very long trip, usually at sea or in space (a voyage around the world). The French Bon voyage! translates into English as Have a good trip! or Have a good journey!

Speaking
5. Think about your answers to these questions. Use ideas from tasks 1 – 5 and your own ideas.
1) Have you ever been abroad? Where did you go?
A: Iʼve never been abroad but Iʼd like so much to have opportunity someday to know a new culture and new countries.
B: Yes, Iʼm lucky enough to have been abroad a few times now. By the way. Iʼve been to London and New York.
2) Advantages and disadvantages of your favourite means of transport?
A: My favourite transport is plane. The advantage of traveling by plane is that we can cover very long distances in the short time. Usually, during flights meals and refreshments are served. The disadvantage of traveling by plane is that trip is expensive. Moreover, the weather has to be suitable to go by plane.
B: My favourite mean of transport is a car because I can travel at any time. I can also pack my whole family and a lot of luggage. I decide the route that to drive and I can stop the car and take short breaks when I need.
3) Why do people travel?
A: It is believed that the traveling rate of people today is higher than ever. There are various reasons why the traveling activities have increased significantly in the past recent years. Firstly, a lot of people travel intensively due to the existence of the low-cost airlines. Secondly, many companies have increased their export and import activities due to the globalisation. As a result, their employees have to do excessive business trips to other regions or other continents. Thirdly, as business competition gets tougher each day, the stress level of the workers has risen. Consequently, the number of people who travel for leisure activities has grown rapidly in the past few years.
B: It is true that traveling activities have increased rapidly in the past recent time, and people are traveling for various kinds of purposes. Some people are taking the trips for business activities, while others are for holiday.
4) Where did you spend your last holiday?
A: I will never forget this yearʼs holidays. I spent them at the seaside with my family. I can say my holidays were one of the best in my life. I went with my parents by the sea. We spent 3 weeks there! We lived at nice, but quite expensive hotel. There were two rooms, huge bathroom and a swimming-pool in front of the building. The hotel was near the sea, it was really comfortable. Sometimes, we were going back from the beach late at night, quite tired and hungry. During those three weeks, I met a lot of interesting and kind people. In fact, I spent with them most of the time. They have become my friends. We were building sandcastles, we were swimming, we visited many interesting places and we were sunbathing. The weather was great. I enjoyed my holidays. This yearʼs holidays were worth remembering.
5) What is your favourite country (city)? Why?
A: Sydney is my favourite city among the cities I have visited so far. Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales of Australia. This city is situated on the bank of the Tasman Sea and has around 4.6 million people. I have visited this city in 2008. Sydney has many attractive natural areas, botanic gardens, parks, and high rising buildings. This city has many heritage listed buildings that attract the tourists and visitors. The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognised landmarks in Australia and is a great place to visit.

When youʼre traveling by plane or train,
there are some passengers you just donʼt want to have next to you...
A _________. Perhaps you normally like them, but when you are sitting next to them on a plane itʼs a different thing. They usually spend all the flight moving around and dropping their toys on the floor, and when theyʼre drinking their orange juice it ends up on your trousers. Then they decide they want to play with you, so you canʼt have the little siesta that you were planning.
B _______. You recognize this type as soon as you sit down. They immediately start talking about the plane, or the weather, or they ask you a personal question. Itʼs very difficult not to talk to these people, and youʼll probably have to continue talking until the plane lands.
C _________. These are the people with white faces who sit down and immediately ask for a double whisky. Every five minutes they call a flight attendant to ask if there are any problems with the plane. They also tell you about air disasters (which you are not interested in!). The best thing to do is to buy them a few drinks or pretend to sleep.
D _____. These people are not necessarily very big, but they have a terrible habit of taking up all their room, and some of your room too. They usually sit so that you canʼt move, with their arms and legs in your space. They also have a lot of hand luggage which takes up all the room in the overhead locker.

14. Look at photos A – C. Have you ever tried these types of street food? If so, did you like them? If not, which would you like to try?
Steveʼs STREET FOOD BLOG
I live in London, but I travel all over the world for my job (Iʼm a photographer) and I always try the street food wherever I go. For me thereʼs nothing better than sitting in a square or a park eating cheap, freshly-cooked street food - itʼs the best way to get to know a country and its people. I started blogging about street food over three years ago and my blog is becoming more popular every year. Now Iʼm writing a book about street food around the world ‒ when Iʼm not working, blogging or eating, of course!
April 27th More and more people are visiting Thailand on holiday these days, but most of them donʼt stay in Bangkok for very long. Big mistake. I come here every year and I can tell you that the countryʼs capital has got some fantastic street food ‒ take pad thai, for example. Itʼs very quick to make ‒ stir fry some noodles, then add eggs, fish sauce, chillies, chicken, peanuts, herbs and spices - and itʼs one of the most incredible dishes youʼve ever tasted.
May 19th Iʼm blogging from a busy food market in the centre of Jakarta. People till eat a lot of street food in Indonesia, and satay is probably the countryʼs most popular dish. When people make satay, they often grill the lamb or chicken, but it tastes better if itʼs barbecued over an open fire. Then cover the cooked meat with a spicy peanut sauce and serve with onions, cucumber and rice cakes. Delicious!
June 5th Weʼre working in Mexico for a few days and at the moment Iʼm sitting in one of Mexico Cityʼs busy parks ‒ and Iʼve just eaten one of the best burritos Iʼve had in my life! If you want to make the perfect burrito, start with a freshly-made flour tortilla ‒ a type of flat bread ‒ then fill it with grilled beef or chicken and serve with beans, rice, sour cream, onions, lettuce and avocado. So why was this one so good? The extra-hot chilli sauce!
15. Read the blog again. Answer these questions.
a) Why does Steve travel a lot?
b) Why does he like eating street food?
c) When did he start his blog?
d) How often does he visit Bangkok?
e) Where was Steve on May 19 th?
f) Does he like spicy food?
16. Discuss these questions:
a) What kinds of street food can you buy in your country?
b) What are the ingredients? How is it cooked?
c) Do you ever eat street food? If so, what do you eat?
17. Present Continuous and Present Simple
a. Look at Steveʼs Street Food Blog again. Match the verb forms in blue to these meanings. There are two verb forms for each meaning.
We use the Present Continuous for things that:
a) are happening at the moment of speaking or writing, ʼm blogging;
b) are temporary and happening around now, but maybe not at this exact moment;
c) are changing over a period of time.
We use the Present Simple for:
a) habits and routines with always, sometimes, never, every day, every year, etc.;
b) things that are permanent, or true for a long time;
c) verbs that describe states (be, have got, want, etc.).
18. Look at these verbs. Do they usually describe activities (A) or states (S)? Do we usually use state verbs in the Present Continuous?
be S watch A talk seem spend agree eat taste prefer know learn own buy understand cook remember believe take need happen love
19. How do we make the positive, negative and question forms of the Present Continuous and Present Simple?

Steveʼs STREET FOOD BLOG
I live in London, but I travel all over the world for my job (Iʼm a photographer) and I always try the street food wherever I go. For me thereʼs nothing better than sitting in a square or a park eating cheap, freshly-cooked street food - itʼs the best way to get to know a country and its people. I started blogging about street food over three years ago and my blog is becoming more popular every year. Now Iʼm writing a book about street food around the world ‒ when Iʼm not working, blogging or eating, of course!
April 27th More and more people are visiting Thailand on holiday these days, but most of them donʼt stay in Bangkok for very long. Big mistake. I come here every year and I can tell you that the countryʼs capital has got some fantastic street food ‒ take pad thai, for example. Itʼs very quick to make ‒ stir fry some noodles, then add eggs, fish sauce, chillies, chicken, peanuts, herbs and spices - and itʼs one of the most incredible dishes youʼve ever tasted.
May 19th Iʼm blogging from a busy food market in the centre of Jakarta. People till eat a lot of street food in Indonesia, and satay is probably the countryʼs most popular dish. When people make satay, they often grill the lamb or chicken, but it tastes better if itʼs barbecued over an open fire. Then cover the cooked meat with a spicy peanut sauce and serve with onions, cucumber and rice cakes. Delicious!
June 5th Weʼre working in Mexico for a few days and at the moment Iʼm sitting in one of Mexico Cityʼs busy parks ‒ and Iʼve just eaten one of the best burritos Iʼve had in my life! If you want to make the perfect burrito, start with a freshly-made flour tortilla ‒ a type of flat bread ‒ then fill it with grilled beef or chicken and serve with beans, rice, sour cream, onions, lettuce and avocado. So why was this one so good? The extra-hot chilli sauce!

17. Present Continuous and Present Simple
a. Look at Steveʼs Street Food Blog again. Match the verb forms in blue to these meanings. There are two verb forms for each meaning.
We use the Present Continuous for things that:
a) are happening at the moment of speaking or writing, ʼm blogging;
b) are temporary and happening around now, but maybe not at this exact moment;
c) are changing over a period of time.
We use the Present Simple for:
a) habits and routines with always, sometimes, never, every day, every year, etc.;
b) things that are permanent, or true for a long time;
c) verbs that describe states (be, have got, want, etc.).
18. Look at these verbs. Do they usually describe activities (A) or states (S)? Do we usually use state verbs in the Present Continuous?
be S watch A talk seem spend agree eat taste prefer know learn own buy understand cook remember believe take need happen love
19. How do we make the positive, negative and question forms of the Present Continuous and Present Simple?
