LANGUAGE IN CONTEXT
Kaitlin is making a vacation video. Read and listen. Where is she now? Where is she going? How is she going there?
Read and listen again. Check {t1) the sentences that are true. Correct the false ones.
❑ 1 The plane is expensive, and the bus is cheap.
❑ 2 You can take a bus to San Francisco at night.
❑ 3 It’s Friday night. Kaitlin is sleeping in a hotel.
Hello again from San Diego! Today is Tuesday, and we want to leave on Friday. Our destination is San Francisco. But how do we travel? Do we fly or take the bus? Well, the flight is two hours. But you have to arrive at the airport a long time before the flight. You need to check in two hours before. So in total, by plane, the trip is about five hours. That’s not bad. And I like to fly. But the ticket is expensive. The bus isn’t expensive, It is a long trip – it’s 12 hours. But we can take a night bus. And it arrives in San Francisco the next morning. That’s good because we don’t need to stay in a hotel on Friday night. So, we’re taking the bus. We just need to buy our tickets online. And then, San Francisco, here we come … on the bus.
