Question: what is the best way to travel from
London to Amsterdam
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 is
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 center and travel in
by bus or by 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 is the fastest and the
second cheapest, but you can have to wait for
hours at the airport because of bad weather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip!
Read the passage and number the
ways of travelling from the most
expensive to the least expensive.

要比坐长途汽车更轻松，但会贵很多。

这将会使我们的工作更加困难。
You will get there a lot faster if you take a plane.

book 在本句话中是动词，意思是“预订”。
例如：

from London to Paris. Use the information
in Activity 5 and the passage in Activity 2
to help you.

用法：英语中三者或三者以上相比较，表示
“最……” 这样的最高程度概念时，要用 “the+最高级” 的结构表示。这种句式一般带有表示比较的介词短语，比如: in our class, of the three 等。
例如：Wang Lin is the tallest in our class.
This theater is the cheapest of the three.
注意使用最高级时应注意以下几点：
形容词的最高级
(1) 表示 “最……之一” 的句式，要用 one of the
+形容词最高级+复数名词。
例如：Jingjiang Hotel is one of the biggest hotels
in our city.
Lisa is not of my best friends.
(2) 当最高级前面有物主代词或名词所有格时，
不加定冠词 the。
例如：Tom is Lucy’s best friend.
Tuesday is her busiest day.
(3) 最高级前可加序数词。
例如：The Yellow River is the second
longest river in China.
(4) 形容最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名
词，代词时，被修饰的词往往省略。
例如：He is the laziest (student) in our
class.
