WARMING UP

When you do the three exercises on pags 15 try to use as many Ws and Hs as you can. What are the Ws and Hs? They are who, what, when, where, why, how, how long, how soon, many, how much, etc. and etc. You've got to ask yourself questions begining with the Ws and Hs and give answers and your answers put together will help you write a well-organized composition, an article, a dialogue, a composition and a sort of discourse.

That is the way to talk about things and write about things and also the way to understand whatever you read and whatever you hear. After reading 2. "What do you have to consider before you decide which means of transportation you will use"? Let's have a look at the photograph below. Can you say something about this airliner based on what you know about it? Where is this airliner flying?
The words "VIRGIN A TLANTIC" tells us that it is the first time for this plane to fly aeross the Atlantic Ocean.
It was August Ist, 2002. An A340-600 was flying from London to New York for the first time after it was manufactured. "A" stands for "Air Bus".
This plane is the largest airliner ever made, 75.3 meters in length.
Have you decided which means of transportation you will use ?

Listen to the tape and write down the three passages several times until there are no mistakes in your writing.
1 Listen to the following boarding calls and write down the correct flight number destination and gate below.
2 Listen to the five world travellers and try to guess where they are.
