Means of transport

Hello everybody!

These days we're dealing with "means of transport" in your book and I think we can talk a little about it.

What do you think it's the best way to travel? Is it the plane? If you think so, what do you think about the differences in prices among the different companies? For example, Low Cost companies like Ryanair offer very cheap flights, however you have to pay for your luggage. Moreover, there was a problem recently in one of the Ryanair flights to Rome and a lot of people had to wait several days in the airport.

Do you think this wouldn't happen to other kind of companies? Why?

And what about the other types of transport, like the train, the bus,the subway? What do you think about them? For example, the train has changed a lot recently and those slow trains we travelled in some years ago doesn't exist. Furthermore, I think in a few years we'll be able to travel to Madrid by train in two or three hours. When this happens, will you choose the train or the plane?

Maybe, you prefer travelling by bus or by car. If so, tell us why, please. Maybe you feel more comfortable in a bus or in your car. Or maybe you don't mind the speed and what you want is just to travel .

I hope you tell us your opinion, please.

See you soon!

Are you planning your holidays?

Most people is trying to plan their summer holidays. Some of them go to travel agencies to have their holiday plans made. However, a lot of people nowadays make their own plans, using the Internet.

Others combine both options, that is, they first look for information about their destinations in the Internet and after getting all they want, they go to the travel agency so that they can have their holiday plans made, according to what they have looked for previously in the Internet.

Which one do you prefer? Are you patient enough to look for the right offer for you among a huge amount of information? If so, tell us about it. Or do you prefer having your plans made? Is it more expensive than if you do it yourself or is not? Please tell us about it and why you prefer one of these options.

Maybe, you have an alternative way to prepare your holidays. Maybe you prefer going to the nearest airport and buy a ticket to wherever you like, that is, you buy a ticket for the next flight and you could buy there all that you need. Is this a possible way to travel? If you have tried it, please tell us about it.

COURSE PRESENTATION ABOUT FEAR OF FLYING

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

On behalf of Iberia, may I welcome you to the presentation of our program “How to get rid of the fear of flying”.My name's Sonia and I'm the manager of this program.

Your company has called us, because there're a lot of executives that have to fly once or twice during the week, and they have fear of flying.
This morning I'm going to be showing you how to lose it and then I'll go on to highlight what I see as the main advantages of our system.

Then to summarize, your company has decided that you have to work calmy, because it's better for both of you. You don't need to work so pressured by fear.

Please, look at me. I'm the best example. I'm remembering my honeymoon. We had decided to travel to Florence. You're thinking and...? Ok . My husband had a tremendous fear of flying and we had to go by car. It's crazy¡ Romantic but crazy¡¡¡
Years ago, we decided that he had to do this program , because it's not good for your life because the fear doesn't give you the oportunity to do a lot of things.
Think about it please!

Perhaps, we can solve any questions you may have until the end of presentation.

Have a look at this graph, it's about sick leaves,
62% ..62% Take a sick leaves before a flight
..25% Take a sick leaves after a flight
..13% Other causes

As you can see most of the sick leaves are before and after the fly. Together they represent an 87% of the total. I,m sure that the message is that we have to solve this problem.

I'd like to concludeby repeating what I said at the beginning of this presentation:
You don't need to work so pressured by the fear and working together we will be able to resolve it.

Sonia Alonso.
