Discuss in pairs. Listen and read to check your answers. London is a great city to visit and there are many ways to get around, whether you are a visitor or a Londoner. A traditional symbol of London, for many people, is the red double-decker bus. A sightseeing tour of the city from a double-decker bus is a great way to see this historical city. Today, however, you will see lots of single-decker buses, bendy buses and eco-friendly buses, too. Tickets can be bought from machines at the bus stops or on the buses themselves. Travellers should make sure that they have the correct change, or the driver may refuse to take them. Under-16s travel for free The River Thames also offers transport links for locals and visitors. For tourists who wish to see London’ riverside attractions, a riverboat cruise is a must. Tours last for about an hour and guides provide a commentary on the various sights along the way. Some longer cruises also offer lunch or dinner. Locals use the commuter services that stop at most piers up and down the river. London's black cabs are famous and seem to have been around forever. Londoners use these taxis to get around, safe in the knowledge that their ‘cabbie’ will find the quickest possible route to their destination, ‘They are convenient because you can stop one in the street. Customers will definitely pay for the convenience, though, as fares can be quite steep. ‘Another type of eab that also operates in London is the minicab. Unlike black cabs, they cannot be hailed in the street. Instead, they must be ordered in advance by phoning a minicab office. They are a safe and comfortable means of transport, day or night, and are economical for long journeys. They often have fixed rates for trips to and from airports and stations, The underground, or the Tube, is by far the most popular way to get around the city It may not be the cheapest mode of transport, but it is fast and convenient. There are 12 lines and 275 stations, so wherever you are, you are probably close to a Tube station 2.8) Which ofthe sentences 1-5 are true about means of transport in London?

So why do more than a million visitors a year go to see a public housing project in a rather unattractive part of the city, even though they're not allowed inside? The reason is that Hundertwassethaus, a block of fifty-two flats and four offices in Vienna's 3rd District, is one of the most unusual bullings in the world, It was designed by Friedensreich — sdertwasser (1928-2000), an Austrian artist who described self as an “eco-architect” and said his work was an attempt to find “harmony between nature and the man-made world”. Natural rms~ and nature itself are a main feature of the design. From the outside, the block is a jumbled pattern of different sand colours, with trees and plants that seem to grow all over it. flats, none of which are the same, have uneven floors and :d walls. The roof is covered with trees and grass, and the block ths 19 terraces to give tenants a sense of space and open air. Its 250 trees and shrubs are part of the design, and some trees are actually planted inside, growing up and out through the windows. The trees se officially ‘tenants’ of the block, and pay their rent by providing oxygen as well as filtering and cooling the city air. The walls are of brick, rather than concrete, using bricks “recycled” from old dings which have been demolished. Hundertwasser took no payment for designing Hundertwasserhaus, saying it was worth it to “prevent omething ugly from going up in its place”. appliances.
