Place a tick (√) in a box if you judge3 that the form of transport meets the criterion4 listed in the left hand column5 or
a cross (X) if you feel it does not. For example, in the top left blank6 box you would place a tick if you think walking is a
healthy form of transport or a cross if you feel it isn't. Try to put a tick or cross in all the empty boxes; however, if you find
it impossible to decide or it is not applicable7 place a question mark (?) in the box instead of a tick or cross.

Help: Exercise 1 – Choice of Means of Transport
These are some of the areas that might be covered in exercise 1:
Arguments for: Arguments against:
Walking - no cost - limited distance and carrying capacity
- independence - dependent on weather
- healthy - danger from road traffic
- environmentally friendly
- can go to pub and have a drink
Cycling - healthy - wet and cold
- environmentally friendly - danger from other traffic, limited ran-
- easy parking ge and load carrying capacity
- no need to pass test
- avoids traffic congestion
Public transport - independence - reliant on timetables
- relatively environmentally friendly - overcrowding
- unlimited travelling distance - high cost of tickets
- possibly greater comfort - possiblity of unreliable service
- no parking worries - service not comprehensive and the-
-n o extra costs (i.e. tests, in- refore not ‘door-to-door’
surance, maintenance)
- c an usually carry out other activi-
ty (i.e. reading) whilst travelling
Motorcycling - cheaper than a car - wet and cold
- easy to park - danger in traffic
- can travel distances and take passengers - need to take formal training and test
- avoids traffic congestion - need to buy specialist clothing
Driving -g ood weather protection, good load - training and test costs
carrying capacity and range. - high initial purchase and running costs
- k eeps you warm and dry, improved per- - high insurance costs
sonal safety, more dangerous for others - parking difficulties
- may be useful for future job - traffic congestion
- status symbol, ‘cool’ image - danger from road traffic
- environmental pollution
- depletion of energy resource
- damage to countryside through
more road building
- deters others from more environmen-
tally travel such as walking or cycling.7

Exercise 3: Interview Transcripts
3.1 Dave:
I had a lot to prove1, I had no self-confidence2, I couldn‘t go out and chat girls up3 and I always thought I had to get a
flashy4 car. A good car, it's an ego boost5 really. I bought a really good one, a VW Golf Gti, I couldn't really afford6 it but
it looked great. Everyone asked what kind of car I had and you should have seen their faces when I said a Golf Gti. I could
only afford to insure7 it third party and I wrote it off8 taking a bend9 too fast. I just loved to drive fast, it was so exciting,
I‘m past that stage10 now. l‘m still in debt11 and I haven't a car anymore, I have to borrow12 from my parents, so I was
pretty13 stupid. I suppose14 I‘ve learnt a hard lesson.

3.2 Paula:
lndependence1 and safety: not having to rely2 on other people; it's nice to drive my friends if they want a drink. We usu-
ally 3 take the driving in turns4 if we want to drink. We support5 each other in that respect6 . l‘m still quite happy using my
bike during the day to get to college because it isn't that far but it‘s nice in the evening to be able to drive. Riding a bike
helps to keep me fit, it costs me virtually7 nothing and it doesn‘t do any harm8 to the environment9. Sometimes it can be
a bit scary10 cycling around with so much traffic, but generally11 I think the advantages12 outweigh13 the disadvantages14 .
3.3 Martin:
If it was just a means of transport15, we'd16 all be driving Skodas or Ladas. I wouldn't be seen dead in one of those. I love
it, it's great, one of the best fun things to do. I love it more than anything, I love driving fast. lt's a toy17, you know. l'd be
lost18 without it. If I lost my licence19 I don't know what l'd do. You're driving around, you're in control on your own, you
do what you want. When I first drove I was a bit of a boy racer20 . You're King of the road when you first drive, aren't you?
lt's like a new toy, you want to see how fast you can drive, see how far you can take yourself before bottling out21 .

3.4 Mark:
lt‘s alright to drive over the speed limit1 as long as2 it‘s safe to do so. Everyone does it, it‘s kind of3 accepted that you can
drive at least 10 % over the speed limit. Everyone does it, so it‘s got to be okay. l‘ve heard that even the police aren‘t that
bothered4 about it. You get there a lot quicker and as long you are careful5 it can still be safe, especially6 in a fairly7 big car
like my Sierra, that‘s a ,safe‘ car. I chose it because it is a safe car. Going a little above the speed limit never hurt8 anyone.
These new cameras they have by the roadside, that‘s bloody unfair on the motorist, it‘s an infringement9 of civil liber-
ties10, it‘s like big brother is watching you. They shouldn‘t be allowed.
3.5 Bill:
There is no way I would buy a car. There‘s no point11 at the moment. I can‘t afford12 it, I prefer13 to spend14 my money
on other things like going out more or on holidays. I can borrow15 my parents’ car sometimes or occasionally16 get taxis
and I get lifts. There are too many cars on the road anyway. Given my current lifestyle I don‘t need a car. I can walk most
places or occasionally catch a bus. I use the train if I need to travel any distance and I get all the student discounts17 which
you don‘t with cars! l‘m going to wait until l‘m older and then the insurance18 will be cheaper and l‘ll be able to afford a
better and more reliable19 car.

include3 insurance, road tax4 and MOT certificate5 if the vehicle is more than 3 years old.
