 ACTIVITY 4
Read the following text and do the activity below.

Public Transport in a Town and in a City

Living in a small town is very different from living in a city. Buenos Aires is the biggest city in Argentina. In this city traveling by car is
more difficult than using public transport. Fortunately, in Buenos Aires there are trains, buses and there is an underground system. 

In a small town there are buses, but they don’t work very well. Most people drive their cars and ride their motorcycles or their bikes.
You can’t have a driver’s license when you are underage*, but in small towns teenagers have their first motorcycle when they are 15.

You can’t travel by plane in a small town, but in Buenos Aires there are two airports. There is one in Palermo neighbourhood and
there is another one in Ezeiza.

*underage: menor de edad

Tick the sentences that are correct.

 There are two airports in Palermo.

 It is illegal to drive when you are 15.

 You can travel by tram in Buenos Aires.

 You can travel by car in a city and in a town too.

 Travelling by car in Buenos Aires is a good idea.
