Means of communication
Means of communicationPeople use various means of communication to get from one place to another. In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the place they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or on horseback
or by. boats and ships. Then trams, cars, buses, planes, underground and other means appeared.
Many people like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of traveling. A lot of people like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests and fields thro-ugh windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.
People who live in big cities use various means of communication to get from one place to another. Londoners use the underground railway. They call it “the tube”
. Lon-don's underground is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863. There was one route at that time, four miles long. Now London's underground has 277 stations and it is 244 miles long. Londoners use buses. The first bus route was opened in London in 1904 Today there are hundreds of routes there. The interesting thing is that some of the routes are the same as many years ago.
London's buses are double-decked buses. Londoners do not use trams, though London was the first city where trams appeared. And now it is one of the biggest cities in the world where there are no trams. The last tram left the streets of London many years ago. Londoners use cars. One can see a lot of cars in London
streets. When Londoners leave the town, they use trains, ships or planes.
Dear sir or madam!
My name is Rocky and i am a parrot. I want to take part in your competition called "The Best Parrot".
I have a good character, and I think that I can win your competition. Ok, and now I will tell you some information about me.
I am the best parrot in the world cause of many reasons! I can fly more that 2 killometers, but I can't do it without tasty food. I can ride small bicycle, but I can't do it for a long time. I like ice-cream, but I hate vegetarian food. I like small kids, but I don't like dogs and cats.
At least I am a winner of your past competitions.
Thats all that I can tell you now, but when I win your competition I will tell your more in the interview that journalist will take from the winner.
With great confiderence, parrot Rocky.
