Like many people,
I like to travel and
there are many ways you can travel, uh,
many forms of transportation. Probably
the main three that I wanna talk about
now are by car, by train and by airplane.
Now each of these forms of transportation
have there pros and cons. Would you agree?
Indeed, I would.
So, what's your favorite form of
transportation, of those three?
I would have to say the automobile.
Um, well, tell me some of the,
the pros of traveling by car.
That would be mainly freedom. Freedom of
movement. Freedom of stop. Freedom to go.
Freedom to, yeah, freedom basically.
OK, uh, what about a train? What are
the advantages of being of a train?
Ah, I would say, good views of the countryside.
You can move around on a train. You're not
stuck in a car. You can go for a cigarette.
You can get something to drink. You can go
to the bathroom, which you cannot do in a car.
Why, what are some of the advantages of flying?
Speed.
That's it?
That's all I can say about that, speed.
OK, uh, let's talk about the disadvantages, the cons.
So what, what are some things that a train has, that
is not that great?
There's nothing I can say bad about a train,
except, yeah! Train's good.
OK!
Price!
Yeah, price, in many countries train travel is
expensive. Uh, we are traveling in Japan, so the train
is very fast and efficient, however, it is expensive,
and another thing is, you're confined by schedule
and things like that.
How about the disadvantages of a car?
Ah, pollution, accidents, cost, yeah, cars can be
expensive, too, maintenance, gas.
And how about the plane?
The disadvantages of a plane. The lack of view,and
yeah, that stale, stale air.
Oh, yeah, also, I could sort of say the fear factor, yeah,
and being confined to a small space. Yeah that's it.
