Travelling less to save the planet

On!y one prediction can be made about transport with any certainty: we'l1 have to trave! !ess, and this will change our lifestyles enormous!y. The Earth's climate is changing at a terrifying rate and it's our fau!t for using so much pol!uting energy, especia!!y to trave!. The vast number of cars on the road will have to be cut drastical!y, with a!rnost everyone going by train, bus or trarn. Flying will also need to be restricted to essential journeys. Sorne rnay complain when they are no longer able to fly abroad to find warm sunshine, but the alternative is a world where a!most everywhere is boiling hot. Holidays will be at home, or near it. Rapid improvements in communications and information technology will bring about huge changes to study and work, with more of us being educated and ernp!oyed at home. This will mean less need to commute, or uve in homfical!y overcrowded cities. Overa!!, we'!l make fewerjourneys, they wi!l be shorter, and almost entire!y by pub!ic transport. It's time to start p!anning for that future now.

e Sample answer (written by a strong First Certflcate candidate) Helio Ruby,

Notes

To answer your question, 1 think it's the scene when Pip first visits Miss Havisham at Satis House.

• Appropriate beginning and eneling

The boy is called to Miss Havisham and meets her in a dark, old-fashioned room. Miss Havisham is wearing a wedding dress, surrounded by clocks ah showing 8.40, as if she wanted to stop time. There is also a giri called Estella there. She is rude to Pip because she feels she belongs to a higher class than him and social class is a theme of Great Expectations. Then Pip goes out into the garden and meets Herbert Pocket, who wants a flght but later becomes his friend. The whole situation is really strange, even frightening. Maybe it's because of the way the room looks or because of Miss Havisham's words to Estella. 'Break his heart,' she says, which surprises and terrifies the boy. The scene is important because we meet people who later have a great influence on Pip's future. 1 enjoyed the whole book, but this is the part 1 remember and liked best. Bye for now, Janet

• Gives a reasonfor writing • Good organisation into paragraphs • The main paragraphs contain more than one sentence • All the content is rekvant to the topic, answering both of Ruby questions • Uses afairly informal style for a letter to afriend • No language erro rs • Uses thepresent simple for narrative and descrption • Puts the scene into the context of the whole book by referring to the theme of social class and the later importance of the cha racters Pip meets

Writing guidebooks Nick Inman on where travel guide authors are going.

When 1 tel! sorneone 1 write travel guides for a living, 1 can see the envy in their eyes. '365 days' paid holiday a year,' they think. And why shouid 1 tell thern it's really not at all like that? I've made a pretty good living out of it. Only now, I'm toid, the so-called holiday is about to end.

Guides to Vietnam and Japan. 'We had no guidebook but got by fine with internet cafés, using online sources for train information, hoteis, even restaurants occasionally. We rnissed the historical background, but you could probably find that online, too.'

It was widely reported last year that sales of guidebooks are falling fast, thanks to developments in the Internet and mobile phones. It makes sense. Why bother taking a heavy book with you when you can download all the information you need to your phone as you waik around the cathedral?

Although sales of sorne guidebook series are not doing so well, the effects of the IT revoiution rnay not prove as serious as they first seem. People get excited about new technology and forget to think clearly. 1 saw one tourist couple who were carrying around all their downioads in a pile of neat plastic envelopes,' observed Nick Rider, author of Cadogan's Yucatán and Mayan Mexico guides, after a recent trip. 'The fact that people pnnt things out rneans that the printed word is still very useful, though a good book would actually be much easier to carry around.' And books still have sorne advantages over computers and rnobile phones. Not everyone iikes looking at a screen, particularly in bnght sunlight. Not everywhere on earth has a reliabie internet connection. And who wants to spend all that time in a hotel room recharging batteries?

Writing a new book about a place is a rewarding job, but one that's becorning a rarity. Publishers are more concerned with keeping existing books up to date than bringing out new ones in an aiready crowded market. This is understandabie, since every guidebook is actually out of date as soon as it is published. It may have been researched a year before being printed and it could have sat on the bookshop sheif for a year or two, so its information might be three years oid by the time the reader uses it in practice. It is hardiy surpnsing, therefore, that sorne publishers are investing almost as rnuch in updating and redesigning their books as they did creating them. Updating guides is nowadays a good way for new writers to get started. But if the Internet via a rnobiie phone can deliver information just as well as printed paper but much faster, at almost no cost, is there a future for the printed guidebook? Other books you read at horne, but a travel guide's main purpose is for urgent reference when you're desperate to find accommodation or somewhere to eat. Using a modern cellphone, any traveiier can now enjoy a 'paperless holiday'. Want to know the opening times of the museum? Look them up online. Need sorne information on the ancient building you're standing in? Downioad it. 'We did an experiment iast year when we went to [FYR*] Macedonia and Serbia,' says Jan Dodd, author of the Rough

The Internet's strength of total democracy, enabling anyone to write whatever they like, is also its weakness. 'A huge amount of what's around on the net is boring, unedited, untested, uninformed and untrustworthy,' says Rider. 'Another large percentage of net material is basicaliy advertising, and so equally untrustworthy. Also, internet searches about destinations often produce facts and figures that are years out of date.' The travel guide wiil have to adapt to changing travel habits but it isn't finished yet. 'The guidebook is not going to disappear - at least not for a considerable arnount of time. That's the general opinion arnong our mernbers,' says Mary Anne Evans of the Guild of Travel Writers. 'Publishers themselves reaily do not know what the Internet is capable of, and currently the thinking is that the two will coexist.' Let's hope I'll be 'on holiday' for a good while yet.
