Language points
1. I’m planning to travel from London to Amsterdam.
plan 作动词用，plan to do sth. “计划干某事”。
plan还可以用作名词，常和make, change等词搭配。
e.g. They plan to visit Hong Kong this year.
What do you plan to do this weekend
What are your plans for the holiday
2. Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there
Could you please... 是一个表示请求的句型，意为“你能/请你...好吗？”，语气非常委婉。Could是情态动词，后面的动词用原形。please也可放在句末或省略。Could在此是一个与can无关的情态动词，并非can的过去式。
在回答 “Could you please... ”句型时，肯定回答通常用“Yes, of course.” “Certainly.” 等。否定回答通常用“Sorry, I can't.”。
3. And it takes you about twelve hours to get there.
take为动词，意为“花费”;
常用于 It takes + 人 + 时间 + to do sth. 句型,
意为“做某事花费某人一段时间”。
句中it是形式主语，不定式短语是真正的主语。
也可用于sth. takes sb. ＋时间,做某事花了某人多少时间。
e.g It takes me half an hour to get to school every day.
It took them three years to build this road.
4. However, it will not cost as much as going by train.
however为副词, 可位于分句句首、句中或句尾, 但都需用逗号隔开。but也有“但是”的意思, 注意区别:but为连词, 连接两个并列分句, 前后两句构成对比, 语气比however强烈; but位于它所引出的分句句首, 且but之后一般不使用逗号 。
e.g. It rained heavily. However, we went out to look for the boy.
He doesn’t like pork, but he will try just a little this time.
cost 一般表示花费金钱,主语是物 sth. cost(s) sb. some money
某物花费某人多少钱
spend 表示花费金钱或 时间, 主语是人 1) sb. spend(s) some time/money on sth.
某人花费时间、金钱在某事上
2) sb. spend(s) some time/money (in) doing sth
某人花费时间做某事
take 一般表示花费时间,主语是it或物 It takes sb. some time to do sth.
做某事花费某人多少时间
pay 一般表示花费金钱,主语是人 sb. pay(s) some money for sth.
某人买某物花费多少钱
辨析: cost, spend, take, pay
5. …but you may have to wait for hours at the airport
because of bad weather.
because of 意为“因为”，表示原因，后接名词、代词或动词的-ing 形式。because为连词，意为“因为”，后引导原因状语从句。
e.g. He didn’t go to work because of his illness.
= He didn’t go to work because he was ill.
