Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car
5 What can you do to become sustainable when travelling in Barcelona
Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION
1 Structure of the composition
Paragraph 1 Explain the topic with your own words Say that there are arguments both in favour and against
Paragraph 2 Give two or three arguments in favour Support them with examples or reasons
Paragraph 3 Give two or three arguments against Support them with examples or reasons

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
In order to get the students familiar with the concept of verbal and non-verbal communication they have to read a list of tips which could help them when working as tourist guides After checking comprehension they watch a video and analyse the role of the guide in terms of communication Then a student volunteers to read a text aloud trying to use the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

ASSESSMENT participation in class (checklist) and the description of a required skill to be an efficient tourist guide
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
In order to get the students familiar with the concept of verbal and non-verbal communication they have to read a list of tips which could help them when working as tourist guides After checking comprehension they watch a video and analyse the role of the guide in terms of communication Then a student volunteers to read a text aloud trying to use the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

TIPS TO MAKE COMMUNICATION FLOW
Many body language experts seem to agree that between 50-80 of all human communications are non-verbal So it is generally accepted that non-verbal communications are very important in how we understand each other (or fail to) especially in face-to-face communications
This is the reason why tourist guides and any other profession involving mainly communication should consider the following tips
1 Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in
return
2 Gestures These include gestures with your hands and face Make your whole body
talk Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups The gestures should get
larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size
3 Donrsquot send mixed messages Make your words gestures facial expressions and tone
match
4 Be aware of what your body is saying Body language can say so much more than a
mouthful of words Arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are
approachable and open to hearing what they have to say Arms crossed on the chest on
the other hand suggest disinterest in conversation or inflexibility
5 Manifest constructive attitudes and beliefs The attitudes you bring to communication
will have a huge impact on the way you interact with others Choose to be honest
patient optimistic sincere respectful and accepting of others Be sensitive to other
peoples feelings and believe in others competence
6 Develop effective listening skills Listening requires more than hearing words It
requires a desire to understand another human being an attitude of respect and
acceptance and a willingness to get involved in the communication process7 Enunciate your words Speak clearly and donrsquot mumble
13
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
8 Pronounce your words correctly People will judge your competency through your
vocabulary If you arenrsquot sure of how to say a word donrsquot use it3
9 Use the right words If yoursquore not sure of the meaning of a word donrsquot use it
10 Slow your speech down People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if
you talk fast
11 Animate your voice Avoid a monotone intonation
12 Use appropriate volume Use a volume that is appropriate for the setting Speak more
softly when you are alone and close Speak louder when you are speaking to larger
groups or across larger spaces
EXERCISES
1 Watch the following video and discuss in groups the reasons why you think communication flows Then share with the rest of the group your ideas and compare them
httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=BdI5fHG_ft4
2 Then a student volunteers to read aloud a text trying to follow the tips to make communication flow A group discussion follows
14
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

ASSESSMENT participation in class (checklist) writing of a for and against composition
Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car
5 What can you do to become sustainable when travelling in Barcelona
Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION
1 Structure of the composition
Paragraph 1 Explain the topic with your own words Say that there are arguments both in favour and against
Paragraph 2 Give two or three arguments in favour Support them with examples or reasons
Paragraph 3 Give two or three arguments against Support them with examples or reasons

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

ASSESSMENT participation in class (checklist) writing of a for and against composition
Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER

One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

1 Read the following skills a guided tourist should have and in groups of two or three students think of another one and describe it
Public Speaking and Narration Skills
You will generally be speaking in front of a huge group of people on most of the tours you lead Groups can have anywhere from 10 to 60 people so you have to understand the basic principles of public speaking You should learn how to speak clearly how to project your voice how to talk calmly and slowly so that people can understand you and also learn how to control your breathing so that you dont get tired
Narration is all about being enthusiastic capturing your audiences attention and allowing the tourists to feel as though they are part of the story
Excellent Problem Solving Skills
Just like any job problems tend to arise Therefore you have to be a good problem solver if you hope to be a good tour guide and know how to deal with anything that comes your way quickly and efficiently
Good Language Skills
Being good at languages is another great skill that tour guides should have English the global language so its command is essential However the more languages you speak the more chances you will have to find a job as a tour guide
Great Organizational and Leadership Skills
Developing this skill is one that will make your job easier by avoiding problems and risks on the tour and thus saving time and money

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona

Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER

One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
PASSAGE 1
This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona
19
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

ASSESSMENT participation in class (checklist) writing of a for and against composition
Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car
5 What can you do to become sustainable when travelling in Barcelona
Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION
1 Structure of the composition
Paragraph 1 Explain the topic with your own words Say that there are arguments both in favour and against
Paragraph 2 Give two or three arguments in favour Support them with examples or reasons

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

This page contains essential information on the Barcelona metro underground system
The following ticket price information will be valid until the end of December 2013 when ticket prices are updated
Metro And Bus TicketsYou can buy tickets for individual journeys for the
metro at euro200 per ticket But if you are here for more than one day or intend taking more than 5 journeys on the metro or buses its best to buy the T10 ticket (see below)
Barcelona Transport CardThe Barcelona Transport Card will give you unlimited travel on the Barcelona Metro FGC TMB buses the main tram and the RENFE train to and from Barcelona Airport (El Prat de Llobregat) Nearly all of Barcelona attractions are accessiblvia the metro system therefore you have your transport covered when you purchase this card You can also use it on the TMB bus from Barcelona centre to Barcelona Airport however it cannot be used on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport) It also cannot be used on the Montjuic Cable Car or the Tram Blau (the tram that goes up to Tibidabo mountain) The Transport Card can be purchased to cover anything between 2 to 5 days of transport You can purchase this card online before you arrive in Barcelona and can pick it up when you arrive in Barcelona International Airport at the Barcelona Turisme information office during normal operating hours The tourist offices are situated in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2B The main advantage of the Barcelona Transport Card is that is that it is economical convenient and your transport costs are mostly covered on your trip to Barcelona

PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

PASSAGE 2
Buying individual tickets for each journey is not economical or time effective unless you will be making only 3 journeys on public transport Much better is to buy a T10 a Transport Card or the travel and discount card called the Barcelona Card
Barcelona Card - Transport and Discount TicketThe Barcelona card not only gives you free unlimited transport as the Barcelona Travel Card above but it also entitles you to discounts on the entrance fees to attractions shows restaurants and souvenir shopping etc as wellIf you want Free unlimited number of journeys on public transport for the duration of your holiday with discounts on activities consider the Barcelona Card It can save you a lot of bother in buying tickets and save you money
The T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) is another type of transport card which you can purchase at the entrance to any metro station Unlike the Barcelona Transport Card a T10 ticket will only entitle you to 10 journeys on the metro FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas The main city centre areas are all in Zone 1It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1) and this article it referring to this ticket
larrPASSAGE 3
A T10 costs only euro980 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money A normal single journey ticket costs you euro200 so with a T10 you save euro1020 for 10 journeysT10 is valid indefinitely within a calendar year (however the card will expire one month after the new tariffs are released in January each year) and can be shared with other members of your group Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10 Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journeyYou can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train Please note that the T10 (Zone 1) is valid for journeys in Barcelona City Centre Zone 1 on the metro FGC and TMB buses Tram and RENFE If you need to travel outside of Zone 1 you can buy a different T10 zone ticket that will cover you for other zonesThe T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)A little known point about the T10 ticket The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes This means for example you can make changes at metro stops (provided you dont leave the metro) then leave the metro and jump on a bus to finish your journey or vice versa as long as the total length of the journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes NOTE you cannot re-enter the metro once you have left it - this would count as another journey

About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant

5 What can you do to become sustainable when travelling in Barcelona
Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car
5 What can you do to become sustainable when travelling in Barcelona
Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER

The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car

Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

ASSESSMENT participation in class (checklist) writing of a for and against composition
Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car
5 What can you do to become sustainable when travelling in Barcelona
Now let us make a class debate about this topic
HOW TO WRITE A FOR AND AGAINST COMPOSITION

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

London Subway Passengers Stressed Out
A survey on Londonrsquos subway train system has found over 80 per cent of passengers are stressed The report is called lsquoToo close for comfort Passengers experiences of the London Undergroundrsquo It was made by a London transport committee who questioned more than 700 passengers The findings paint an ugly picture of the famous railway system The situation is so bad that the majority of travellers had to ldquopsycherdquo themselves up before getting on a Tube train People had to prepare mentally for their rail journey Overcrowding was the biggest cause of discomfort Over half of those questioned said they couldnrsquot get on the first train to arrive at a station because it was too full Others said they hated being squashed against strangers
The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

The London Underground carries more than 1 billion passengers a year At the busiest times there are four people per square metre packed onto the train This has an impact on travellersrsquo behaviour The report notes that the ldquooverwhelming majority of passengersrdquo think overcrowding is ldquoa highly unpleasant and abnormal situationrdquo The committee listed a number of strategies people use to cope with travelling on the Tube These include adopting a ldquodog-eat-dogrdquo or ldquosurvival of the fittestrdquo attitude ignoring pregnant women who want to sit down and switching off to whatrsquos happening around them One passenger said ldquoIrsquom a different animal on the Tube to normal life Irsquom not me

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER

The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

ASSESSMENT participation in class (checklist) writing of a for and against composition
Tourist Guide
About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions
35
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEACHER
After reading aloud the text and answering the questions the students sit in a circle and have to give their opinion about public transport
The teacher will provide the students with useful expressions on how to give onersquos opinion
One of the students will be the mediator to introduce the topic give the speaking turns and come to a final conclusion after the debate
For homework the students have to write a composition of approximately 100 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using onersquos private car The teacher will provide structures and useful vocabulary
Tourist Guide
1 What does ldquoSustainable Transportationrdquo mean
2 Why is making a sustainable decision about travelling so significant
3 Which are the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling
4 If public transports also emit CO2 why is it better taking public transports than driving onersquos own car

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

About 80 of European citizens live in urban areas and mobility is becoming an everyday problem for them because cars are causing so much congestion Increased car use has also been accompanied by safety and environmental problems
Sustainable transportation means transportation that produces few if any air pollution emissions Examples include public transport carpools car sharing walking and cycling
Making a sustainable decision about travelling is particularly significant given the impact transport has on the environment overall The way we travel is one of the single biggest generators of CO2 and other toxic substances a direct cause of climate change and the greenhouse effect So making a sustainable transport choice will greatly reduce your carbon footprint
Cycling and particularly walking are the most sustainable ways of travelling If your journey is too long to be completed by foot or by cycling using a form of public transport such as bus train tram or underground is much better for the environment than driving Even though public transport emits CO2 and other harmful gases into the environment the amount emitted per person is significantly reduced when there are a lot of people in a single vehicle
Answer the following questions

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is very popular nowadays However there are positive and negative aspects of using it on daily basis
On the one hand public transport is a good idea because it is generally cheap convenient and environmentally friendly Another advantage is that you can use the time in different ways For example you can just sit and read or watch the world go by
37
M Calero amp M Villa 2013
Tourist Guide
On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

On the other hand using public transport has also some disadvantages Some people argue that it is often crowded and delayed Moreover you have to travel at certain times and it does not take from door to door for example you often need another means of transport to take you to the final destination
In conclusion despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by public transport to travelling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

BIOGRAPHY OF FERNANDO BOTERO
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin Colombia He is a well-known sculptor and painter He paints in the neo-figurative style and calls himself the most Colombian of Colombian artists He largely paints large people and he doesnrsquot know the reason why he paints such obese forms
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church He was first influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches He held his first exhibition by the time he was 20 in the capital Bogota He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art
Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world

Throughout the 1950s in Madrid Botero experimented with proportion and size and he began developing his trademark style then in 1960 he moved to New York City The inflated proportion of his figures suggests an element of political satire In 1997 Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture lsquoBirdrsquo in Medellin and seventeen people died in the attack
Botero is an exceptionally talented artist whose works are exhibited in galleries all over the world
