I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks! Best answer: There are four ways to travel.
A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It’s usually cheaper. You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or train. The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer, the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. However, it will not cost as much as going by train. Finally, you can fly. It’s the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip! Number the ways of travelling from the most expensive to the least expensive.4132Complete the table.the most comfortable way to travel the most expensive way to travelcheapest crowded in summer and taking a long timefastest and not very expensivemay have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weatherComplete the passage with the correct form of the words in the box.

Use the information in Activity 5 and the passage in Activity 2 to help you.WritingYou can go from London to Paris by coach, plane or train. Travelling by plane is the fastest but also the most expensive way to get there. It’s also less interesting than by coach or by train. The coach is cheaper than the train and the plane, but it’s also slower and uncomfortable. Possible answerThe train is the second most expensive and second fastest way to travel. Travelling by train is the most interesting way because you can look out of the window at the countryside. 重难点突破1. journey, travel 和 trip 的用法辨析journey名词，意为“旅行”、“旅程”。常指远距离的或陆地的旅行。一般指单程，不回到出发地的旅行。
travel 名词，意为“旅行”。泛指一般意义的旅行，不能特指某一次的旅行。前面可以用物主代词，但不能与many或数词连用。
trip名词，意为“旅行”、“远足”。常指近距离的旅行或远足。一般指双程，还回到出发地的旅行。2. cost的用法cost 作名词时，意为“价钱”； “成本”； “代价”。作动词时，意为“价钱为”； “花费”。cost作动词时，过去式和过去分词同原形形式一样，三词同形。3. 讲解点拨
The more information, the better.
信息越多越好。“the +比较级，the + 比较级”是个固定
句型，意为“越… …，就越… …”。e.g. The older he gets, the happier he is.
他越活越开心。
The more dangerous it is, the more he
likes it. 越危险他越喜欢。4. A journey by train is more relaxing
than by coach, but a lot more expensive.在比较级前添加a lot, much, a little, a bit 等
词，可以说明程度；添加 even, still 等词，
