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.
贵得多

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!
Best answer: There are four ways to travel.

Without opening your books,
Test you listening skills.
Betty: I was late for school today.
Mum: Why What happened
Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident,
and the traffic was very heavy. But nobody
was late, except me. Maybe I should go to
school by taxi.
Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also
the most expensive. And taxis are very slow in
heavy traffic too.
Betty: Then what about going by bike
Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous.
There’s so much traffic.
怎么啦？
是个不错
的选择。
Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and
it’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.
Mum: How does Tony go to school
Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes
the underground.
Mum: And what about Lingling
Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she
walks.
Mum: How about Daming
Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s
so crowded! And the traffic is heavy.
Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school,
but remember to be careful all the time.
