Oral presentation
Hello everybody! My name's Maria and this is my friend Marina. In this oral presentation we're talking about the Transports in London.
First, I talking about supermarkets and after, Maria talking about transports in London.
SUPERMARKETS
Supermarkets are an important part of daily life in Britain.
Tesco is the most important supermarket in Britain.
You can buy everything there.
Supermarkets are on the edge of towns and most people drive to them. And the customers can buy petrol too.
People like the possibility to buy everything in one place.
The big supermarkets have started to open smalls shops in town and city centres, to offer necessary things to the customers at every moment.
TRANSPORTS IN LONDON
Have you gone with public tranport sometimes? (blah blah blah... no! Yes!)
There is no problem because Banyoles is small town and there isn't any public transports. But... Yes!! There are some transports.
In London, people usually use the public transport. (Buses, trains, bikes...). The transport is very important for people's life.
They also walk.
The public transport doesn't pollution as transport private. But some people move with their car.
The buses must be red. Normally they have two flats.
There's also underground, it works for ground and underground. It started to work in 1863. There are 274 underground opened stations and every day there are a lot of people who use it.
The buses and taxis travel more quickly because they have got special lanes on the road.
TANKS FOR YOUR ATENTION.

British healthecare system
You may need to go to the chemist to buy cough mixture or pills for a headache. You can get prescription for a doctor. Doctors and medical staff can cure lots of illnesses now using surgeri and treatmen with durks.
Hopefully these treatments won't be necessary. The best way to avoid getting ill is to have a healthy diet, get lots of exercise and take good care of yourself.
Computers in our lives.
The smart home is now a real possibility. And of course you will be able to give new intructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match.
If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust temperature levels inside. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading e-mails that they no longer have time for conversation.
Transport
They're very important for people who live in the suburbs or outside London and travel London for wor.For many people the journey by train takes them to a convenient Underground station.
The different kinds of transport link up pretty well but sometimes you have to walk from one point in the journey to the next. People use lots of other froms of transport in London.The buses and taxis travel more quickly because they have got special lanes on the road.
Shipping in Britain
In the early twentieth century there werer large numbers of very elegant passenger ships. They crossed the Atlantic from Liverpool or Southampton to New York in five or six days. One of the most famous shipping companies is Cunard.
The majority of people do travel around the world by plane but ships are still very important for moving goods. Here at the Southampton Container Terminal they unload more than one and a half million containers each year.
British horror stories
Bram Stoker got the idea for Dracula while he was sitting in Highgate Cementery in North London. Dracula is so popular that visitors to London can go on a guided Dracula tour.
The vampire was not drinking Mina's blood. The vampire turned his head. His eyes burned with a terrible red light. Blook was dripping from his red lips and long white teeth. The vampire had alredy taken his meal of blood!
