89 Read two texts about popular means of transport in various countries. Are the same means of transport popular in Russia?

Trains and commuters

Lots of people in Britain live far from their work. They often go by train from the suburbs¹ into the centre of the town to work. These people are called commuters. Some of them travel more than 300 kilometres every day. It takes them 2 hours to get to the town centre and 2 hours to get back home. On the way commuters usually sleep, read a newspaper or a book, use their computers and listen to music.

On some trains there are special study clubs. Commuters can study languages there on their way to and from work.

Cars and people

Are cars as popular anywhere in the world as they are in the USA?

Millions of Americans drive to work, to their country houses, to visit their friends. They go shopping by car, travel by car along 4 million miles of American roads.

Another interesting thing about using a car in the United States is the “drive-in” service.

There are drive-in banks where you can get your money sitting in your car. There are also drive-in cafés where you can buy your sandwich and coffee without getting out of your car.

The most exciting places are drive-in cinemas. People can watch movies (that’s what Americans call films) sitting in their cars.

It’s hard to imagine a real American life without cars.

Прочитайте два текста о популярных видах транспорта в разных странах. Популярны ли те же виды транспорта в России?

Ответ:

Yes, trains and cars are also very popular means of transport in Russia, though with some differences in how they are used and associated services.

Trains are very popular, especially commuter trains (electric trains) in large cities for people traveling from suburbs to the city for work or study, similar to Britain. People often read, sleep, use their phones or laptops, and listen to music during their trips. However, special study clubs on commuter trains are not a common feature here.

Cars are also extremely popular in Russia and are essential for many people, just like in the USA. They are used for commuting to work, going to country houses (dachas), visiting friends, and shopping. While drive-in banks and cinemas are not as widespread or common as described for the USA, drive-through fast food services are becoming more common, and cars are definitely a vital part of modern life for many Russian families and individuals.

Да, поезда и автомобили также являются очень популярными видами транспорта в России, хотя есть некоторые различия в их использовании и связанных с ними услугах.

Поезда очень популярны, особенно пригородные поезда (электрички) в больших городах для людей, едущих из пригородов в город на работу или учебу, как и в Британии. Люди часто читают, спят, пользуются телефонами или ноутбуками и слушают музыку во время поездок. Однако специальные учебные клубы в пригородных поездах не являются здесь распространенной особенностью.

Автомобили также чрезвычайно популярны в России и являются необходимыми для многих людей, так же как и в США. Их используют для поездок на работу, на дачи, для посещения друзей и покупок. Хотя "драйв-ин" банки и кинотеатры не так широко распространены или обычны, как описано для США, услуги "драйв-через" в заведениях быстрого питания становятся все более распространенными, и автомобили определенно являются жизненно важной частью современной жизни для многих российских семей и частных лиц.
