III. Read the following passage, then answer the questions.
Once you have reached London, you can go about by taxi, bus, or by the underground. I myself prefer the underground as it is rapid, easy and cheap. There are so many cars abd buses in London that one cannot drive along the road quickly and without many stops. The underground is therefore usually quicker than taxis or buses. If you do not know London very well, it is very difficult to fond the bus you want. You can take a taxi but it is much more expenisve than the underground or a bus. O nthe underground you find good maps which tell you the names of the stations and show you how to get to them, so it is easy to find your way.
* Questions:
1. How can you travel about London?
(............................................................................................................................
