Lesson 8. Travelling

Подорожі

Active Vocabulary:

at the disposal – у розпорядженні; discount – знижка; journey – подорож; booking office – білетна каса; to board – сідати (у вагон, на літак); car – вагон; compartment – купе; luggage – багаж; berth – полка в купе; departure – відправлення; charge – вартість; single (return) ticket – білет в одну (дві) сторони.

There are various means of transport at the disposal of those who travel either for pleasure or on business. If you don’t like travelling on foot you can also use bicycle or a motor-bike. With motor-car one can travel comfortably for long distances. You can also travel by sea in big cruise liners or small ships and by air on board modern airliners. But a lot of people prefer using trains for long-distance journeys. The first thing we do when we want to go somewhere far away is buying a ticket at a booking office (though now you can do it using a ticket-machine or even through the Internet).

Dialogue at a booking office

– Good afternoon. Can I help you?

– Hello, I’d like to book a ticket to Kiev.

– What date do you want to leave?

– On the 25^th of November.

– Single or return?

– Single, please?

– Do you prefer lower or upper berth?

– Lower, please. I’ve always been afraid of falling down. How much is the ticket?

– It depends on the class of the car. What class would you like?

– Second, certainly. I am a student. By the way, do you have discounts for students?

– Sure, it’s half the price of the ticket. So your charge is 60 hryvnyas.

– Here you are. And what time does the train start?

– It starts at 10.30 p.m. All the information you need is on your ticket: the date and time of departure, the car and place number, the charge and so on.

– Thanks a lot.

– Welcome. Have a nice journey.
