2 Discussion Focus
On the train to Cambridge, Violet reads an article in a tourist

guide about traffic congestion in London. Read the article.
What is the Congestion Charge? Then discuss the questions
below with your classmates.
London Magazine news
Congestion Charge in London

London wants to reduce the number of cars in the city centre. So in
2003 they introduced a Congestion Charge. With this system, cars must
pay £11.50 per day to go into an area in the city centre during the day.
People pay online and they must pay 24 hours after their visit. The system
reduces the number of cars in the city by almost 20%. It means more
people use the London Underground and buses.
Some people like the Congestion Charge because there is less air pollution
in the city centre. It also collects money to improve public transport.
Other people think it’s a bad idea. They say it’s bad for small businesses in
the central area. They also say people will drive more kilometers to avoid
the city centre, creating more air pollution in other places.
page 25
Discussion
1. Is it okay to control how people travel to work?
2. Is the Congestion Charge a good idea? Why or why not?
3. Do you want a Congestion Charge in your city?
4. Which aspects of public transport are good or bad in your city?
5. How can things change or improve?

unit 11 / Part 1, Exercise A http://eclass.me/1SCFlf7
Dan: Gerald, you travel a lot for work, right? Is it stressful?
Gerald: No, because I have a perfect system. First, I pack only clothes
and documents that I’ll need. I never take unnecessary items.
Then I drive to the airport and park in the long stay parking
garage. Once inside the airport, I don’t go to the check-in
counter, because I always print my boarding pass at the office.
Dan: You’re very organized. And do you feel stressed at the airport?
Gerald: No! I go directly to the security check. There I take off my shoes,
put my electronic devices in trays and show them my boarding pass.
Security only takes 15 minutes. I never carry fruit or liquids because
customs officers always stop people with those things. Finally, I go
to the business lounge and wait for my flight. I love traveling!
Dan: Okay! I’m going to try all that for my Beijing trip.

Ling: Oh, hi Ben. Yes, I remember. How can I help you?
Ben: I saw a different lamp on your website that I like. I’d like to know if
the Swirly Base lamp is in stock.
Ling: How many do you need?
Ben: Hmmm, I need 20.

Ling: If you need 20, I’ll need to call the supplier in Italy to ask. We only
have four here. I’ll call you back to let you know.
