How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks! 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. Its 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 centre and travel in by bus or train.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. Its the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip! 5.

WritingWrite a passage about ways of travelling from London to Paris. Use the information in Activity 5 and the passage in Activity 2 to help you.Sample:You can go from London to Paris by coach, plane or train. Travelling by plane is the fastest but also the most expensive way to get there. Its also less interesting than by coach or by train. The coach is cheaper than the train and the plane, but its also slower and uncomfortable. The train is the second most expensive and second fastest way to travel. Travelling by train is the most interesting way because you can look out of the window at the countryside.Step 5重難點突破1. journey, travel 和 trip 的用法辨析journey名詞，意為“旅行”、“旅程”。常指遠距離的或陸地的旅行。一般指單程，不回到出發(fā)地的旅行。travel 名詞，意為“旅行”。泛指一般意義的旅行，不能特指某一次的旅行。前面可以用物主代詞，但不能與many或數(shù)詞連用。trip名詞，意為“旅行”、“遠足”。常指近距離的旅行或遠足。一般指雙程，還回到出發(fā)地的旅行。2. cost的用法cost 作名詞時，意為“價錢”； “成本”； “代價”。作動詞時，意為“價錢為”； “花費”。cost作動詞時，過去式和過去分詞同原形形式一樣，三詞同形。3. 講解點撥：The more information, the better. 信息越多越好?！皌he +比較級，the + 比較級”是個固定句型，意為“越 ，就越 ”。e.g. The older he gets, the happier he is. 他越活越開心。 The more dangerous it is, the more he likes it. 越危險他越喜歡。4. A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive.在比較級前添加a lot, much, a little, a bit 等詞，可以說明程度；添加 even, still 等詞，可以表示強調(diào)。e.g. Toms room is a bit bigger than Lilys. 湯姆的房間比莉莉的大一點點。邊學邊練：1.
