1. The symbols of London

6. A healthy but difficult choice
7. An unusual hobby
8. Conflict over roads
A. The British are enthusiastic about mobility. They
think that the ability to travel far and frequently is their right. People can
spend up to two or three hours commuting to London or another big city and
arrive back at their homes in the countryside only late in the evening. They
put up with the long journey because they want their families to avoid the
unhealthy lifestyle of big cities.
B. Most journeys to work are made by private road
transport. It leads to the pollution so familiar to many big cities, and to
traffic jams. Congestion is especially high in Britain because the British do
not welcome the idea of building new roads. They don’t like living close to
them. Each proposal to build a new road is criticised so it’s not easy to
improve the road situation.
C. Perhaps because the trains were the first means of
transport in Britain many people still have a romantic outlook on them.
Thousands of train-lovers spend a lot of time looking for information about
trains, especially old steam engines. Many enthusiasts spend their free time
restoring and repairing old trains. They even earn some money by offering rides
to tourists.
D. It is possible to travel between any two towns or
cities by either road or rail. In some parts of the country there is a very good
rail network but most commercially successful trains run between London and the
largest cities in the country. By modern European standards British trains are
not fast. Coach services are generally even slower than trains but are much
cheaper. It explains why they are still in use.
E. Britain is one of the few countries in Europe
where double-decker buses are a common sight. Although single-deckers have been
in use since 1960s, London still has many double-deckers in operation. They are
world-famous, an image associated with the city. Another London icon is the
black taxi. Normally, these traditional taxis cannot be hired by phone. You
simply have to find one on the street.
F. In 1953, most schoolchildren walked to school. For
this reason, school crossing patrols were introduced. This ‘patrol’ consists of
an adult wearing a bright waterproof coat and carrying a stick with a circle on
top of it, which reads ‘STOP’. Armed with this ‘lollipop’, the adult walks out
into the middle of the road, stops the traffic and allows the children to
cross.
G. On 9 January 2013, the London Underground (or the
Tube) celebrated 150 years since the first underground journey. It is both the
world's oldest underground railway and the oldest rapid transit system. It was
also the first underground railway to operate electric trains. The Underground
has 268 stations and 400 km of track, making it the longest metro system in the
world by route length.
