The travel choices of I he topic of travel at the stage when teenagers become old enough to drive, go to university or start a job has received little public or government attention. Yet it is essential to encourage young adults to make sensible choices, given that traffic is becoming worse and worse, In Britain, a lot of young people start using family cars or running their own car as soon as they can. It’s easy to see why. In their early teens, many have depended on the car and know the disadvantages of bus and rail travel from personal experience. By contrast, teenagers are given a positive view of driving through TV advertising, and know nothing about the problems of car use. Traditional attitudes to transport do often change once young adults move to new places and meet new people, such as at university. Research suggests, for example, that cycling Is seen as a childish activity, although 1 general cycling culture in Oxford and Cambridge encourages students there to use bikes. Some British universities have banned students from bringing cars on site and instead provide buses to important destinations, One university even has special night buses with security guards on board, picking students up from nightclubs as late as 3a.m. Not everyone wants to join their friends and own a car, even though Parents often offer to pay for driving lessons. Many cannot afford to buy one, while a growing number are against cars altogether, saying what they produce is bad for the environment. Whatever their opinion, one thing is certain: travel habits are hard to break, so young adults need to be shown th transport choices will be sustainable over the next twenty years, Warm up 1 Why has the writer written this text?

Travelling by bus at night is unsafe at one particular university B_ Cycling isn’t considered a suitable form of transport at any university C There aren't enough buses at universities where cars are prohibited D_ When they reach university, many students reconsider how they travel, 4 According to the writer, more young people are refusing to drive because A. they believe that pollution caused by cars is dangerous B_ they don’t have enough money to keep a car on the road, © their parents persuade them it is unnecessary to learn D_ their friends are able to give them lifts everywhere.
