TAKE1
London and Paris are two of Europe’s biggest tourist destinations， just a few hours away from each other by road or rail and an hour’s distance by air. Well， though train-ferry is budget-saving， it is too time-consuming today， so you’d better leave it to your memories. Since the UK is not part of the Schengen Area， passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.
Air trips
Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended， there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air. A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking， but of course it’s rare， and that doesn’t include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.
* One-way fares from Paris can be as low as €49.
* From London， Air France flies with fares as low as ?39 （€46）， and British Airways as low as ?48（€56）.
Rail trips
The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar， which travels 15-17 times per weekday. Eurostar’s 2015 edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Besides， they offer good seating space.
* Fares begin at ?58（€68）， round trip.
* The earlier you book， the more you save.
Bus trip
The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London. Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals. The journey takes between seven and nine hours. Both lines offer free Wi-Fi.
* One-way Eurolines fares begin at €15.
* One-way OUIBUS fares begin at €15 too， but early bird sales can even lower the fare.
1. Which way is probably the most expensive for a round trip？
A. By train-ferry. B. By air. C. By rail. D. By bus.
2. What special service does the bus trip provide？
Passport free boarding. B. Taxi pickup.
C. Good seating space. D. Free Wi-Fi.
3. What do the trips have in common？
A. They are cheaper if booked ahead of time.
B. There are different competing companies.
C. They are more expensive from Paris.
D. There are still additional fees to be included.
Task 2
Travel of any kind can be expensive. Experienced RV（野營车）travelers already know that there are savings to be found in travelling in an RV.
