Air Travel and Pollution

by Sonam Garg (Chandigarh)

Some people say that governments should increase tax on air tickets to control air pollution. To what extent do you agree? Aviation sector has witnessed a gradual increase in domestic and international flights and the level of air pollution is also rising. To cope with this, some people opine that travel by air should be made expensive by charging more taxes. However, I believe that this is not a complete answer and it will become unnecessary burden on travelers and tourism industry. Although this practice will boost government revenue but it will have some severe repercussions on common man who is already facing problem of inflation. Definitely, if prices hiked, people would look for alternatives and this would only worsen the situation. For example, a businessman travelling in economy class would get frustrated at sight of exorbitant travelling expenses in Income and Expenditure statement. Resultantly, he would switch to terrestrial mode of transportation like train, car etcetera which are also the leading causes of air contamination. Thus, it is not an appropriate solution. Further reinforcing my views, if passengers are charged more, it can be detrimental to tourism industry. It is well established fact that Tourism is the major contributor to GDP of any nation, and international visitors, in particular are major sharer. Increasing air fare may results in significant drop in number of commuters which can be a menace to economy of a country, particularly the growing economies like India and China where several other industries are dependent on tourism. To conclude, excessive taxes are not ultimate solution to air pollution.Authorities should look for other measures. Locating airports at outskirts can act as remedy, nonetheless a panacea is yet to be found. *** If you like this Airline Travel Essay let the writer know by posting your comments below.

I. Questions

• Have you travelled a lot by plane? [To where?/Why not?] 
• Why do you think some people enjoy travelling by plane?
• Would you like to live near an airport? [Why/Why not?]
• In the future, do you think that you will travel by plane more often? [Why/Why not?]

II. Samples

1. Have you travelled a lot by plane? [To where?/Why not?]

Yes, I have traveled quite extensively by plane. I have visited several countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. Domestically, I’ve flown to cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for both business and leisure purposes. Traveling by plane is highly convenient and saves a significant amount of time, especially for covering long distances efficiently.

No, I haven’t traveled by plane before. Most of my travel has been by bus, train, or car. The destinations I usually visit are within driving distance, making flying unnecessary. Additionally, the cost of plane tickets can be quite high, which is another reason I haven’t opted to fly yet.

2. Why do you think some people enjoy travelling by plane?

I think people enjoy traveling by plane for several reasons. Firstly, it is the fastest mode of transportation for long distances, allowing individuals to reach their destinations quickly. Secondly, the in-flight services, such as meals, entertainment, and comfortable seating, enhance the overall travel experience. Additionally, the unique experience of flying and seeing the world from above can be quite thrilling and memorable.

I think people enjoy traveling by plane primarily because it is the quickest way to cover long distances, saving a considerable amount of time compared to other modes of transportation. Additionally, flying offers a unique perspective, providing breathtaking views from above that are impossible to see from the ground. The convenience of reaching distant destinations directly and efficiently is also a significant advantage.

3. Would you like to live near an airport? [Why/Why not?]

Personally, I wouldn’t like to live near an airport. Although the convenience of being close to an airport is appealing, the noise pollution from frequent flights taking off and landing would be a significant drawback. Furthermore, the increased traffic and the hustle and bustle around the area could make it a less peaceful and more stressful place to live.

I wouldn’t like to live near an airport. The noise from planes taking off and landing would be quite disruptive. Additionally, airports tend to attract a lot of traffic and crowds, making the area busier and less serene. I prefer a quieter and more relaxed living environment, which is less likely to be found near an airport.

4. In the future, do you think that you will travel by plane more often? [Why/Why not?]

Yes, I believe I will travel by plane more frequently in the future. As my career progresses, there will likely be increased demand for business trips that necessitate air travel. Additionally, my passion for exploring new places and immersing myself in diverse cultures motivates me to travel to distant destinations, where flying is often the most efficient mode of transportation. Furthermore, advancements in aviation technology continue to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of air travel, making it a viable option for frequent journeys.

Yes, I anticipate traveling by plane more often in the future. As I advance in my career, there may be more opportunities for business travel that require air transportation. Moreover, I am eager to expand my horizons and visit more international destinations, for which flying is typically the most convenient and time-saving option. Additionally, as air travel becomes more accessible and affordable, I foresee more frequent occasions where flying will be the preferred mode of travel.

10 Reasons Flying is Better Than Road Trips

Driving instead of flying? What was I thinking? We just got back from a mini-road trip that I didn't even consider to be an actual road trip until we were in the middle of it. We were attending the wedding of a dear friend that on paper didn't seem that far away, but it was easily a five hour drive one-way thanks to traffic and potty breaks when it would have under an hour in the air if we flew. I thought driving would be more economical and simpler than flying such a short distance, but I'm not so sure I made the right choice.

I do think there is something romantic in a nostalgic sense about road trips circa the Route 66 days, but these days, and with my family, flying is absolutely better than road trips.

Road trips cost more than you think:

Unless you are using miles, plane tickets have a hefty upfront purchase price that can sting. This is probably the number one reason why folks load up in the car and drive. However, the costs of a road trip add up one credit card swipe at a time, and they aren't near as inexpensive as one might think. Gas was over $3.50 a gallon on this trip and we filled up the truck at least twice. That meant close to $160 in gas, maybe more. Add in the wear and tear on the vehicle, tolls, and snacks, and it costs more than you think. This is especially true on longer road trips that add hotel nights and extra meals on the road due to the extra travel time.

You eat unhealthy food:

Airports aren't necessarily known for their super healthy cuisine, but you can usually come up with a pretty healthy option in most airports such as sushi, salads, and even fresh squeezed juices. On the road you usually don't find those spots right along the freeway, and if you do they probably don't have the drive-through quick service that families are often seeking on the road. This meant we got to visit fast food restaurants that we normally stay far away from at home.

You ruin clothes:

I won't name names, but I do know someone who ordered greasy food from the above mentioned fast food restaurants that ended up on his clothes not once, but two meals in a row. Eating in the car is bad on many levels, but it happens on road trips, and at least on an airplane you would have a tray table to help catch the mess.

You are cramped and uncomfortable:

Our cars were selected to haul things and/or get us around town. We didn't pick cars designed to drive us on long distances regularly, so our choices for the road trip were a spacious fuel sucking truck, or a cramped sedan. Since we were bringing not just the human members of the family, but the old dog, we simply wouldn't fit in the sedan and opted for the roomier truck. However, it still isn't the most comfortable vehicle for a long trip, and sitting for hours at a time is just uncomfortable period. On a plane you can usually stand up and stretch or head to the lav as needed without slowing down the trip.

You power through:

As they said in the Cars movie, "folks didn't drive to make great time, they drove to have a good time". That may have been true, but I can assure you we aren't driving around to take in the scenery of Nowheresville, Texas and enjoy extra time with a young kid and old dog in the car. We want to get where we are going, and that means things like limited breaks, drive thrus, cramped legs, and snippy attitudes.

The scenery stinks:

Parts of the country are beautiful to drive through, and you would be remiss to not enjoy the drive from Vancouver to Whistler, from Anchorage to Seward, along the California coastline, and through the Rocky Mountains. However, a lot of this country is not pretty at all - especially along the freeway. You get power lines, traffic jams, fast food restaurants, strip malls, drug stores, and half empty office buildings. I can assure you that much of Texas is this way and you get a much nicer view at 36,000 feet.

Better use of time in the air:

Not only does air travel often result in a shorter total travel time, but the time in the air can be used more productively than in the car. For example, you can't really nap and drive, and even if you are the passenger it is harder to get any sort of work done in a car than on a plane. In the air you can nap, type, and even work online on many flights. That means you don't have to worry about catching up as much when you get back home.

Driving is just plain scary:

Statistics clearly back up the notion that driving is more dangerous that flying, and I can't count the number of instances of impromptu drag races, folks driving while staring at their phones, cars swerving for no apparent reason, and more on our journey. Thankfully none of those events resulted in a wreck, but I was gripping the car on more than one occasion as driving on busy freeways is just plain scary.

It gets annoying:

I know, I'm a bad mom for saying that hours of uninterpreted time in close quarters together with family can get annoying, but let's get real and admit the dirty truth. I vividly remember bickering with my sister in the back seat on car trips as a kid, and even today there are only so many times you can hear "how many more minutes" without starting to lose a small chunk of sanity. The same can happen on a plane, but the presence of "strangers" seems to keep people on a bit better behavior than in the privacy of your own car. I love having special time together with my family on trips, but not so much when we are all strapped in a car with not much to do for hours on end. I'd rather have more time at the destination enjoying and exploring together than spent simply getting to and from our destination.

Driving just takes forever:

I fondly remember ski trips to Colorado as a kid where we would drive all night long, and then some time on the second day of driving after the sun rose you would see the mountains for the first time. It was a magical moment on the journey, but since I was a kid, I was asleep through the painful nighttime portion of the drive. As an adult I can easily do the math and see that is 16 hours of solid driving to get from my house to many Colorado ski resorts. Ouch. On a plane it is roughly 2.5 hours. Even on today's mini road trip it was 4-5 hours in the car as opposed to less than an hour in the air. Of course you have to factor in travel time to the airport, boarding times, etc. but driving at 70 MPH is just so much slower than flying at 500 MPH.

We actually had a real road trip planned later in the summer, but you can bet I spent the last part of our drive today searching for award options to fly instead. Our trip today wasn't bad at all, so I don't want to paint some overly terrible picture, it just reinforced that my blood likes to soar through the clouds much better than snarl along the road. It's simply a better use of time. The road trip romantic in me still wants to do a big road trip with my family one day where you stop and enjoy the scenery along the way. However, if the purpose of driving instead of flying is to just save money or keep the travel process simpler, then I think that some very careful examination of the real costs of both types of travel is warranted. In most cases, flying is better than road trips, at least for us. Especially when you have miles to burn!

How does your family decide whether to drive or fly and have you regretted choosing one over the other?

Traveling, Its Advantages and Disadvantages Essay

This essay about travelling abroad explores all the advantages and disadvantages of this activity.

Introduction

• Advantages of traveling
• Disadvantages of traveling
• How to choose a trip

Traveling refers to movement from one geographical location to another, either for recreation or work. The majority of the people who love traveling do it when they are young because of the availability of adequate time and lack of pressing responsibilities such as work and family (Hasbrouck, 2011). Traveling is an important pastime activity that is fun, and that exposes people to other countries, cultures, and societies. Travelers learn a lot because traveling necessitates changes in lifestyle and ways of communication. Moreover, travelers learn new languages, interact with people from other races and ethnicities, and explore new geographical locations (Mitchell, 2006). Individuals who travel regularly possess adventurous spirits that yearn for new experiences to learn new things. Despite having numerous benefits, traveling has disadvantages too. It is costly, exposes individuals to the risk of contracting diseases, and causes excessive fatigue.

Advantages of Traveling

Traveling offers people an opportunity to visit interesting places, learn new things, and meet new people ( 5 Benefits of Travelling , 2013). It is one of the best ways to interact with people from other races, cultures, and ethnicities. Travelers explore the various beliefs and traditions that guide other people’s lives and learn how interconnected humanity is (Mitchell, 2006). For example, there are very many cultures in the world that have preserved their traditional beliefs, customs, and practices. Visiting countries such as Kenya, Mexico, China, and India is an occasion to experience such unique cultures. On the other hand, meeting new people who speak different languages and who live differently is exciting and educational. Travelers also visit interesting places that have great cultural and historical value ( 5 Benefits of Travelling , 2013). For example, the Eiffel Tower in France, Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Pyramids in Egypt possess great historical and cultural value. Learning about their histories can help travelers to comprehend the cultures, traditions, and customs of different tribes and societies, as well as their dynamics.

Another advantage of traveling is the chance to learn, relax, and widen one’s scope of knowledge (Mitchell, 2006). In certain cases, one of the requirements of traveling abroad is learning the language that is used in the country that one intends to visit. English is an international language. However, it is not spoken in all countries. Therefore, it would be necessary to learn new languages in order to enhance effective communication and interaction with people who speak indigenous languages (Thumb, n.d). There are numerous historical sites to visit around the world, and visiting them teaches furnishes knowledge about their historical significance to various countries and cultures (Marks, n.d). For instance, people who travel to Egypt learn a lot about the pyramids as well as when and why they were built. Exploring the cultures practiced by different communities increases appreciation for human diversity (Mercer, n.d).

Traveling allows people to improve their communication skills and create networks that can be beneficial in their lives (Mercer, n.d). Interacting with people who speak different languages and who have different cultures is challenging. However, it is important for the improvement of communication skills. Multicultural interaction is an important skill in contemporary society, especially due to globalization and technological advancements (Mitchell, 2006). Learning to interact with different cultures inculcates strong communication and social skills that are beneficial in personal and professional life (Marks, n.d). On the other hand, it helps to create networks that can be used in different areas of life. For example, travelers can create business, social, political, and religious networks that can help them to improve their lives, communities, and society at large. The international labor market is open for exploration to everyone around the world. Therefore, possessing strong networks and multicultural communication skills is beneficial and necessary.

Traveling exposes people to different living styles. As a result, it inculcates the value of compassion and changes people’s perspectives regarding life (Hasbrouck, 2011). For instance, travelers from developed countries who travel to developing countries get an opportunity to see the effects of poverty, ignorance, and diseases on communities. This makes them grateful for their lives. Also, it enhances the development of compassion and empathy toward the needy and the suffering. Traveling exposes people to new cultures, societies, people, and lifestyles (Mitchell, 2006). This exposure changes people’s perspectives, attitudes, and opinions. They develop new ways of looking at the world, and it also gives their lives meaning.

Disadvantages of Traveling

One of the major disadvantages of traveling is the costs involved. Traveling is expensive and involves the use of money that many people cannot afford (Thumb, n.d). For example, traveling to foreign countries by plane is costly, and people incur numerous expenses that can have severe financial consequences. Many people only travel locally because they cannot afford to travel internationally. Traveling includes other expenses such as food, entertainment, and accommodation (Thumb, n.d). Both local and international travel offer opportunities for exposure to new people, places, and cultures. However, the pricey nature of trips and vacations prevents many people from indulging and enjoying the many thrills they offer.

Another disadvantage of traveling is the risk of exposure to diseases and deadly illnesses. In the past few years, outbreaks of deadly diseases such as Ebola and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have been reported in several countries. These diseases put the lives of travelers at risk because they can cause death within a very short time once contracted. In many countries, governments impose travel bans on regions that have been flagged for disease outbreaks. A disease outbreak can lead to the quarantine of affected individuals until the disease is contained. Quarantine causes inconveniences and delays that can interfere with the exhilaration of taking a trip.

Traveling requires a lot of time and planning, which can cause great stress and fatigue (Hasbrouck, 2011). Preparing for a trip is time-consuming because of the need to book accommodation, arrange for transport, and make all the necessary inquiries. On the other hand, trips usually involve pre-arranged plans that eliminate flexibility and the freedom to engage in other unrelated activities. Following strict schedules creates rigidity that eliminates the fun that is involved in traveling.

How to Choose a Trip

Choosing a trip is primarily based on the purpose of travel. People usually travel for reasons that include recreation, tourism, migration, work, religious pilgrimages, business, trade, and volunteer work, among others. Others travel to relax, discover new things, explore, and get acquainted with new cultures (Hasbrouck, 2011). If an individual is traveling to relax or for recreation, they may choose to visit historical sites and beaches. On the other hand, people who travel to learn and explore new places may choose to visit countries where communities that have preserved their traditions are found.

For adventure, they may choose to travel to countries with mountains and forests that can provide fun and enjoyable experiences. Those who travel for migration reasons choose countries that provide the opportunities they are looking for. The steps to choose a trip include the establishment of a purpose for traveling, research regarding countries and regions that can fulfill that purpose, and determination of all the requirements for traveling to that location, such as vaccination and learning a new language or skill. There are various types of trips available that serve the aforementioned purposes. The two most important aspects of taking a trip are determining the purpose of traveling and selecting the most appropriate travel option.

People travel for many reasons, including relaxation, recreation, work, business, adventure, migration, and exploration. Taking trips is beneficial because it offers an opportunity to learn, interact with new cultures, learn new languages, improve communication skills, gain new insights and perspectives regarding life and the world, and meet new and interesting people. In contemporary society, traveling has been made easier by globalization and technological advancements. Despite its benefits, traveling has disadvantages too. It is expensive, time-consuming, causes fatigue, and exposes people to risks of diseases. It is important for travelers to determine the purpose of their trips in order to enable them to choose the most appropriate travel plan or program. It is also important to make all the necessary inquiries and arrangements before traveling to avoid getting stuck in new places. For example, it could be necessary for a traveler to learn the basics of communication or language when traveling to certain areas of the world where indigenous languages are used. This is necessary for the enhancement of communication and interaction.

Traveling is a much-loved activity by many; exploring the world and seeing new and beautiful places can be a great way to unwind and recharge. Many fond memories are created during holidays abroad, and we carry these precious times with us. But for those who only travel for official business purposes and never really get to explore destinations fully, travel can be a more stressful experience. 

Beyond the anxieties one endures in planning a travel or boarding flights, traveling can do wonders for mental health, open our eyes to new experiences, help us be closer to nature, and allows us to reflect on our progress and accomplishments in life.

“Even as travel restrictions and lockdowns have relaxed, cautious return-to-travel behavior among travelers—due in part to lingering health and safety concerns—suggests that the recovery process for the industry will be long and slow.”

The travel industry was one of the hardest hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. With its importance to the economy, especially in Asia, where the industry could easily account for 80% of the GDP, a fast recovery is imperative. To make this goal more attainable, multisectoral coordination in planning and implementing safety rules will be essential.

“Even a short, sortie mission to Mars and back would be extremely hazardous to human health. A Mars colony is out of the question. Living long-term on its surface is beyond the capacity of our bodies to survive.”

Amid the excitement over sending humans to travel to Mars, there has been emerging research that highlights the dangers of such missions. The space between the Earth and Mars already poses many obstacles. And even if, by rare luck, man reaches Mars, staying will be the next paramount challenge as consequences could mean a halt in blood circulation or blindness. 

“When it comes to the carbon footprint of travel, there is nothing worse than traveling by private jet… Yet despite all the net-zero rhetoric from the corporate sector, and pressure from the flight-shame movement, private jet use is booming.”

As private jet use is starting to burgeon, society is demanding greater accountability from the ultra-rich and the commitment to invest in sustainable technologies for air travel. This could compensate for their use of private jets, a single one of which is estimated to ​​be several times more polluting than commercial planes.

“What, I wonder, does the financial strain of planning a trip you can’t really afford do to your expectation level — and how much can you enjoy your vacation once there? When the bill arrives, do most find that the experience was worth the stress after all?”

The culture of bragging on Instagram is destroying the true meaning of family vacations. Where such experiences used to be for relaxation, fun, and strengthening of family bonds, family travels are now a ticket for boasting, requiring ridiculous expenses for which some families are willing to be in debt. 

“While a vacation maybe me one of the highlights of your entire year, the days leading up to departure can be stressful. For some people, this stress can bubble over into a full-blown anxiety or panic attack complete with physical symptoms.”

Pre-travel stress is a common symptom for many. Worries often stem from hoping for the vacation to be smooth sailing. However, unpleasant incidents may always occur. On our part, we must focus on those we have control of, such as how we pack and how we address our ultimate pre-travel concerns.

Short Essay on Flying In An Aeroplane 300 Words for Kids and Students in English

This summer, I happened to visit Kathmandu. I decided to go by air. I booked my seat with Royal Nepal Airlines a week in advance of my departure. My plane take-off from IGI Airport at 10 a.m. Before the take-off, everything was checked and passengers fastened their belts. When the plane started moving on the runway, there was a terrific noise. But in no time, it take-off. This was my first air trip. As the plane was flying, I felt a little giddy. My ears seemed to be swelling. But after some time. I began to feel normal.

Now the aeroplane was flying at full speed. I looked down through the window and saw big cities and towns that seemed to be like small toys. The landscape appeared to be very attractive. Forests and trees looked like tiny plants. Even the big rivers appeared to be small drains of water. As I was gazing, the air hostess came and offered me a cup of coffee and some snacks. I enjoyed the refreshment very much. The condition of the travellers in the aeroplane is worth mentioning. While some passengers were dozing and snoring, others were feeling giddy and uneasy. Some passengers were just glancing over the magazines and periodicals while others were engrossed in reading novels. Many passengers were chatting with one another.

At 11.30 a.m. our plane made a brief halt at the Patna .airport. We were served light refreshments again. A few passengers bought newspapers and novels. The plane then finally took off for Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. As the aeroplane was flying, I enjoyed a wonderful aerial view of the country. Peeping through the windows and looking over the landscape below was really charming. The moment our plane flew over the mountainous regions of Nepal, the scenery changed completely. The majestic hills, the mighty waterfalls, the narrow ravines and gorges, the deep groves, the green vegetation covering the hills, the cypress trees and other densely grown forests presented a beautiful view. The Kathmandu valley presented a charming spectacle. Having an aerial view of the city of Kathmandu surrounded by hills, towers and turrets, pagodas and stupas, is an amazing experience. When our plane finally landed at the Kathmandu airport around 2 p.m. the whole city was bathed in silvery sunshine.

I came out of the aeroplane and had a cup of coffee at the airport restaurant and then I hired a taxi and drove to my friend’s house. It was amazing how man can fly off to a far off place in such a short time. I really enjoyed my first ever trip in aeroplane.

Câu hỏi & câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking – topic Planes

1. do you often travel by plane.

I travel by aironce in a blue moon . To be more exact, the last trip to Da Nang is the first time I have a chance to travel by plane.

• travel by air (verb phr.) : đi du lịch bằng máy bay
• once in a blue moon (idiom) : rất hiếm khi

Tôi rất hiếm khi đi du lịch bằng máy bay. Nói chính xác hơn, chuyến đi Đà Nẵng vừa rồi là lần đầu tiên tôi có cơ hội đi máy bay.

2. Do you like to travel by plane?

Yes, I really enjoy travelling by air because it gives me a great view out the front window. And I usually grasp this opportunity to snap some landscape photos.

• snap /snæp/ (verb) : chụp ảnh

Có ạ, tôi thực sự thích đi du lịch bằng máy bay vì nó cho tôi tầm nhìn tuyệt vời ra cửa sổ phía trước. Và tôi thường nắm bắt cơ hội này để chụp một số bức ảnh phong cảnh.

3. Is there anything you don’t like about travelling by plane?

If there is something negative that I have to talk about travelling by air, it would be a lack of luggage space. Though I travel light , it’s not enough space for me to bring souvenirs home. 

• travel light (verb phr.): đi du lịch nhẹ (không mang theo nhiều đồ)

Nếu có điều gì đó tiêu cực mà tôi phải nói về việc di chuyển bằng máy bay, đó sẽ là việc thiếu chỗ để hành lý. Mặc dù tôi đi du lịch nhẹ, nhưng lúc nào cũng không đủ không gian để tôi mang đồ lưu niệm về nhà.

Describe a person who often travels by plane

You sh ould say:

• Who he/she is
• Where he/she goes to
• What he/she feels about it

I would like to describe the manager of my mother, who as I know takes flights quite often. 

She is the director of my mother’s company, who leads more than 2 hundred staff. Her main duties at work are keeping in contact with partners in different countries, distributing tasks to her employees, including my mom, and controlling the effectiveness of her own business. 

As I know, she takes a flight at least once a week. Most of the time she is on a business trip, normally in Vietnam and from time to time in other nations, too, to attend a meeting, meet a partner or other tasks. Once in a blue moon, she travels by air to some tourist attractions for relaxation. She has become a VIP client of Vietjet – the most popular airline in Vietnam, so the flight attendants are familiar with her face and her favourite meals on the plane. She is also discounted 10% for every flight ticket and given other priorities. 

When I asked her about her feeling of the high frequency of taking flights, she said it is not as great as I used to think. She always has to take advantage of time to take a nap on the plane to recharge her batteries, and if the flight lasts more hours, she will suffer from a headache after that. But I haven’t travelled by plane any time in my life, so I still wish to be like her, travelling by air, at least once in my life.

• take a flight /flaɪt/ (verb phr.): có một chuyến bay
• keep in contact with somebody /ˈkɒn.tækt/ (phrasal verb): giữ liên lạc với ai
• distribute something to somebody /dɪˈstrɪb.juːt/ (verb): phân phát cái gì cho ai
• tourist attraction (noun phr.): địa điểm thu hút khách du lịch
• flight attendant /ˈflaɪt əˌten.dənt/ (noun phr.): tiếp viên hàng không
• take a nap /næp/ (verb phr.): chợp mắt

Tôi muốn mô tả về người quản lý của mẹ tôi, người mà tôi biết có những chuyến bay khá thường xuyên.

Cô ấy là giám đốc công ty của mẹ tôi, người lãnh đạo hơn 2 trăm nhân viên. Nhiệm vụ chính của cô ấy tại nơi làm việc là giữ liên lạc với các đối tác ở các quốc gia khác nhau, phân phối công việc cho nhân viên của cô ấy, bao gồm cả mẹ tôi và kiểm soát hiệu quả kinh doanh. 

Như tôi biết, cô ấy đi máy bay ít nhất một lần một tuần. Phần lớn thời gian cô ấy đi công tác, bình thường là ở Việt Nam và thỉnh thoảng ở các quốc gia khác, để dự các cuộc họp, gặp gỡ đối tác hoặc các công việc khác. Hiếm khi, cô di chuyển bằng máy bay đến một số điểm du lịch để thư giãn. Cô đã trở thành khách hàng VIP của Vietjet – hãng hàng không nổi tiếng nhất Việt Nam, nên các tiếp viên đã quen mặt và những bữa ăn yêu thích của cô trên máy bay. Cô cũng được giảm 10% cho mỗi vé máy bay và được hưởng các ưu đãi khác.

Khi tôi hỏi cô ấy về cảm giác của cô ấy về tần suất đi máy bay cao, cô ấy nói rằng nó không tuyệt vời như tôi từng nghĩ. Cô luôn phải tranh thủ thời gian chợp mắt trên máy bay để nạp lại năng lượng. Nhưng tôi vẫn chưa được đi bằng máy bay lần nào trong đời nên tôi vẫn ước được như cô ấy, được đi bằng máy bay, ít nhất một lần trong đời.

1. Is it very common for people in your country to do plane travel?

Travelling by air is gaining popularity in my country for several reasons. Firstly, as flight tickets are quite affordablefor even middle-income people, it did no longer belong to only the rich. Secondly, it’s the fastest mode of transport over a long distance, travelling by plane helps passengers save a great deal of time and energy.

• gain popularity /ˌpɒp.jəˈlær.ə.ti/ (verb phr.) : đang trở nên phổ biến
• mode of transport /məʊd/ (noun phr.) : phương tiện giao thông

Du lịch bằng máy bay đang trở nên phổ biến ở đất nước tôi vì một số lý do. Thứ nhất, vì vé máy bay khá hợp túi tiền của cả những người có thu nhập trung bình, nên nó đã không còn chỉ dành cho những người giàu có. Thứ hai, đây là phương thức vận chuyển nhanh nhất trên quãng đường dài, di chuyển bằng máy bay giúp hành khách tiết kiệm đáng kể thời gian và sức lực.

2. What are the advantages of traveling by plane?

Well, travelling by air brings passengers some great benefits. First of all, it is the fastest means of transport, so it helps them to save a great deal of time. In addition to that, people have a lot of options for entertainment such as enjoying the spectacular view through the window or kick back in comfort when in the plane.

• spectacular /spekˈtæk.jə.lər/ (adj) : đẹp, ngoạn mục
• kick back (phrasal verb) : thư giãn

Chà, di chuyển bằng máy bay mang lại cho hành khách một số lợi ích lớn. Trước hết, nó là phương tiện giao thông nhanh nhất nên giúp họ tiết kiệm được rất nhiều thời gian. Thêm vào đó, mọi người có rất nhiều lựa chọn để giải trí như thưởng ngoạn những khung cảnh đẹp qua cửa sổ hoặc thư giãn thoải mái khi ở trên máy bay.

3. What are the disadvantages of living near an airport?

Well, there are several drawbacks for those who live near an airport. The greatest one may be noise. Even though houses are equipped with thick soundproof windows, people usually suffer from noise there. Additionally, the fuel combustion of an airplane is very smelly , which can cause a headache for those who live near the airport. 

• soundproof /ˈsaʊnd.pruːf/ (adj): cách âm
• combustion /kəmˈbʌs.tʃən/ (noun): quá trình đốt cháy
• smelly /ˈsmel.i/ (adj): nặng mùi

Có một số hạn chế đối với những người sống gần sân bay. Điều lớn nhất có lẽ là tiếng ồn. Mặc dù các ngôi nhà được trang bị cửa sổ cách âm dày, nhưng mọi người thường bị tiếng ồn làm phiền. Ngoài ra, quá trình đốt cháy nhiên liệu của máy bay rất nặng mùi, có thể gây đau đầu cho những người sống gần sân bay. 

4. Why do some people prefer to travel by train?

Plenty of people are scared to death when they have to travel by air. They have a deep fear of falling out of a plane. So, travelling by train might be their preferable choice. Besides, this means of transport can be more affordable for some people in comparison with planes. 

• scared to death /skeəd/ (adj): sợ chết khiếp

Nhiều người sợ chết khiếp khi phải di chuyển bằng đường máy bay. Họ có một nỗi sợ hãi sâu sắc về việc rơi khỏi máy bay. Vì vậy, đi tàu hỏa có thể là lựa chọn ưu tiên của họ. Bên cạnh đó, phương tiện di chuyển này có thể hợp túi tiền hơn đối với một số người so với việc di chuyển bằng máy bay.
