Self-study box
1. Collocations with travel, trip, journey, voyage, tour
a) Read about the origins of some English words connected with travel. Translate into Ukrainian.
During the Middle Ages in England people who used to travel would read their journal, a traveller's guide outlining the distance that could be covered in a day (French: jour). In fact, over the centuries a journey changed its meaning from a day's travel or even a day's work (French: travail) to the process of getting from A to B - hopefully on time!
The French also gave us the word tour, which originally meant a period spent doing one's job (also known as a turn). By the beginning of the eighteenth century, a tour had come to mean an excursion or circuitous journey including visits to a number of places in a particular order. Throughout this century, and in particular in the mid to late 1800s, rich English people used to go on the Grand Tour, an educational journey through France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Today, many travel agents and airline companies organize package tours using charter flights.
The word trip originally meant a short voyage in a ship. Within a few decades it was also used to describe someone's experiences while travelling on land. Nowadays, a trip can be of any length (in terms of distance and time), and it describes either the journey itself or the whole experience, i. e. the journey plus any sightseeing or business done in a place.
For the last two centuries, travel has generally been used as a verb (though sometimes as an adjective, as in travel agent, or as a noun, as in first-class travel).
b) Underline the correct word in italics. Then work in pairs, asking and answering the questions.
1. Who makes your trip / travel arrangements - you, your secretary, your partner?
2. When did you have your last business trip /journey / voyage?
3. How do you travel /journey to work?
4. What's the longest travel /journey you have ever made?
c) What is the difference between these pairs of words?

What strategies do you use to remember the differences between words with similar meanings?
d) Match the verbs and verb phrases in Box 1 with the nouns in Box 2.
|
1 get into /out of go /travel by fly with land in /at |
board arrive at /in go through get on /off |
2 an airline (a) taxi a terminal customs (a) train |
(a) plane an airport home a station (a) ferry |

2. Read the text, translate the underlined phrases into Ukrainian, be ready to discuss it.
AIRPORTS
Their business is taking off
Which airport is the busiest in the world? Based on passenger numbers, it is Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, with 976, 307 take-offs and landings in 2006. Here are some other airport superlatives: passengers voted Singapore Changi Airport the best in the world and Munich's airport the best in Europe. The prize for the cleanest airport terminal went to Seoul's Incheon Airport, and Copenhagen's airport offers the "best airport dining experience", according to Skytrax, a group of London-based advisers to the air transport industry. Many airports have become mini-cities, offering hotels, restaurants, shops, conference centres and offices. But the focus of airport operations is making sure that flights arrive and depart safely, and that passenger flow, baggage transport and security checks run smoothly.
Arriving planes are guided down to the airport by air traffic control (АТС). As a plane taxies to the terminal, apron control rects it to its parking position. Ground handling staff provide passenger stairs or a jetway, unload the plane, and transport the suitcases to the baggage conveyors.
Most planes are then immediately readied for the next flight. Large planes such as a Boeing 747 require 90 minutes' turnaround time; smaller planes need 45 minutes at most. The cabin is cleaned and checked; food, drinks and fresh water are delivered. An aircraft mechanic does a visual safety inspection, some times accompanied by the co-pilot. Technical staff refuel the plane and supply power for the board computer, lighting and air conditioning.
Staff at the traffic operations centre decide 24 hours ahead which parking areas, baggage conveyors, gates and check-in counters should be used for each flight. Delays, poor weather conditions or terrorist warnings can make it necessary to change these plans. All airport security and service employees must be able to react quickly to such events.
