1 Read the forum. Then tick (✓) the sentences T (true) or F (false). (10 points)

How are you travelling to school today?

Share your experiences here!

I live on Staten Island in New York, but

I go to school in Manhattan. So, every
day, I travel 8.4 km on the Staten Island
Brad
Ferry, across the New York Harbor. It takes
25 minutes. I’m sitting on the ferry at the
moment and I’m using the Internet on my
tablet because there’s Wi-Fi on the ferry.

I’m from Japan and many people take the

subway (the underground) to school – even
young children! I’m travelling with my
Hana
six-year-old sister now. She likes going on
the subway with me. She doesn’t like
carrying her bag with all her textbooks, so
I often carry it for her! Our parents think it’s
safe to travel on the subway.

I’m going back to school today! I’m from the

Nenet region in northern Russia, but for
nine months of the year, I live at school.
Julia
And, it’s very exciting because a helicopter
takes us to school and brings us home at
the end of the year!

T F
1 Brad doesn’t go to school in Staten Island.
2 There isn’t any Wi-Fi on the ferry.
3 The subway is a popular type of transport in Japan.
4 According to Hana’s parents, it’s dangerous to travel on the subway.
5 Julia doesn’t live with her parents most of the year.
