Write your answer on YOUR ANSWER part. ROUND THE WORLD - WHAT’S THE RUSH? “Wait a minute. You mean, you are going to travel all the way round the world, without taking a plane?” This was the unusual reaction when Ed Gillespie told people about his plans for a somewhat unusual circumnavigation of the globe. After a little consideration, though, some of them found the adventure intriguing. After all when you stop to think about it, the ideal of travelling through so many different countries and cultures at a gentle pace, with time to reflect, and to actually communicate with the people living there, is quite appealing. So is Ed Gillespie a fanatical environmentalist or just a reflective traveler? Well, probably a bit of both. He‟s the director of a climate change company, Futerra, which teaches people about ways to protect the environment. However, he admits that he is done plenty of flying in his time. In his former career as a marine biologist he worked in Australia and Jamaica, so long haul travel was a necessity. Recently, he came to the decision that the flying had to stop. “Four years ago, I took my last holiday flight to visit friends in Malaga in southern Spain. Now I find it increasingly difficult to justify the environmental impacts of flying purely to indulge myself.” (00) __C_ . “You travel through a landscapes, not just over it,” he points out, “ and see first –hand the transition of scenery , culture, language and people that flying robs you of when it dumps you dazed and disorientated on the other side of the world.” When their journey is complete, Ed and his girlfriend Fiona King will have travelled to 20 different countries, covering 65,000 kilometres by a variety of sea and land transport. (16) ________ . A round-the-world air ticket could be found for less than a fifth of that amount. Clearly, saving money is not what this trip is about. (17). ________ Another is the sheer pleasure of moving through the world and appreciating its subtle changes as you go, rather Page 7 of 10
than simply flying over it. More importantly, they feel they're making a real statement about the futility of modern air travel in this age of falling oil supplies. The first leg of the journey is now over and it has lived up to expectations in many ways. (18). ________ . Next, the train sped them to the ferry port of Portsmouth: journey time 1 hour 50 minutes. So far, so good. At Portsmouth, however, they hit the first setback of the trip, perhaps the first of many. The ferry to Bilbao, they were informed, was delayed by three hours due to bad weather at sea. Eventually, they boarded the ferry and as the ship pulled out into the open sea, they quickly discovered that the pleasant cruise advertised in the brochures was about to turn into a lurching, rolling, seasickness-inducing ordeal. (19). _______. Was this really any worse than being stuck in an overcrowded airport lounge for 24 hours while air traffic controllers take a day off to press for higher wages? Ultimately, Ed and Fiona arrived safely in Spain, where they jumped on a train and are currently heading east across Europe. Next stop Singapore. (20). ______ . From Singapore, they will travel by container ship to Australia, a yacht will speed them on to New Zealand and a cargo ship will take them to Los Angeles. Then it's on to Costa Rica, where a banana boat should be waiting to take them home to England. It will have been a wonderful adventure for Ed and Fiona, but above all they hope it will show the world that it is possible to travel widely without doing major damage to the environment. A. Not a great start perhaps, but then any type of travel has its difficulties. B. The total cost of this little adventure will be about £5,000 per person. C. So these days he does most of his holiday travel the slow way: by boat or train. D. We don't have to do everything at the speed that modern technology allows. E. One advantage, according to Ed and Fiona is the greater flexibility of routes. F. The journey time is expected to be about four months. G. From their flat in Brixton, London, they caught a bus to Waterloo station: journey time 15 minutes. Your answers: 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. IV. WRITING (4,0 points) Part 1.
