I am unhappy my education because we have karantine in our country and everyone should study at home. I prefer that students should communicate with teachers face to face because it is allows us to improve our knowledge even more. In my opinion when we study in the classroom we have to be tolerant of each other. In any case we should achieve our goal no matter what.

That's a very short answer, certainly NOT enough for a 2nd year student...

STUDENT. TODAY, I THINK EDUCATION IN UKRAINE IS NOT AT A HIGH LEVEL. WE TEACH MANY SUBJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY OBSOLETE AT A TIME WHEN SOCIETY IS PROGRESSING. THAT IS WHY, IN MY OPINION WE SHOULD TEACH MORE TECHNOLOGICAL SUBJECTS. OF COURSE, ALSO ,FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COUNTRY. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS BAD STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN LEARNING AND HINDER THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER. STRICTER DISCIPLINE NEEDS TO BE DONE IN SUCH CASES, OR TO REVEAL WHAT THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO DO. TODAY TEACHER ARE QUITE WISE, BUT WE WANTED THEM TO BE MORE MODERNIZED, TO USE MORE EUROPEAN STANDARDS IN EDUCATION. IF THESE THREE THINGS ARE IMPROVED, EDUCATION WILL BE BETTER

Role B – Cars It seems to me that cars are the best form of transport. There are cars for everyone’s budget cheap and more expensive,with ordinary,simple design and more fancy or even weird. So it’s rather available form of transport for everyone. The main advantage is that it’s your personal,private transport. That means that you don’t need to check up schedules before drive. You need to rely only on yourself. Cars are super comfortable and indeed you can use it for long distances. You can go wherever and whenever you want. The only thing you need is a tank with patrol. Talking about other forms of transport, I want to say that bicycles are accessible and easy in use. But as a matter of fact, you can’t use them for long distances or for instance when it rains. What about trains I would say they are rather uncomfortable because you need to monitor the schedule and book teackets beforehand every single time you go somewhere. As for planes they are rather expensive ones. They are not absolutely safe and flights often get canceled.
From my perspective the worst form of transport is train. The time to the place of your arrival is relatively long,especially when you go really far. Mostly trains are awefully dirty. And your personal spase is pretty small, let alone that terrible noise and smell everywhere. Well that’s my point of view,and that’s for you to decide.

Summary I just watched a video called transportation Vocabulary & phrasal Verbs get on,get out of,ride,go. It was pretty informative to me. I learned that it’s better to say I took a bus or a train or whatever, than to say’’ I ride car or I go by car’’. The latter is just illogical. However we can use ‘’I ride bike’’, it’s correct. Also I learned a new phrase ‘’I drove’’, it’s super simple, but grammatically correct. Moreover there is one common mistake to use phrases ‘’I go by foot’’ and ‘’I walk on foot’’. You should better say ‘’I walked’’, this will be clear and correct. And by the way there are two more phrases which we can use. They are ‘’I got on/off the train,the plane etc’’ and ‘’I got in/out a car/a taxi’’. And there is one thing that 1st phrase we should use with public transport and 2nd with private and small transport. That was new and interesting to me.

Role A – Bicycles
Cycling has always been a popular activity throughout the years and I confess that the bicycle as a transport has more advantages than disadvantages. The bicycles are widespread because they’re environmentally friendly. Let’s mention some of the advantages: 1) For a beginner, there is no bicycle traffic and you do not have to pay for a parking lot.
2) If you travel regularly by bicycle you will save money on transportation and as a bonus it will be reflected in health. Great, yes?
3) And the last but not the least advantage is flexibility. What do I mean? The bicycles fit in most places. You can get high and low because of their lightness and it’s really cool benefit for the users.
It should be noted that there is no perfect mode of transport for everyone.
The cars are very comfortable for long trips, they don’t depend on the weather, unlikely bicycle.
The airplanes are one of the best ones: fast, convenient and safe. Travelling by road is more dangerous than by air.
Although most people prefer to travel by train. It’s cheap and what about the fare-dodging. But jokes aside, I think it’s the worst mean of transport. The trains constantly dirty and because of a bunch of people there are problems with personal space.

Role B . Cars Our modern world is hard to imagine without transport. Personally for me the best mode of transport is a car. It can be very easy and fast to get anywhere. You sit in a comfortable cabin without the crowds and you do not depend on the route. In the trunk you can put everything you need. I love this type of transport. Bicycles are also a good option. They are good for human health and nature. But your journey will depend on natural conditions and they are not fast compared to other transports. Airplanes are fast, but many people are afraid of heights and are afraid to fly. Trains are inexpensive and almost everyone can afford them. But usually you go with a crowd of people and it causes discomfort. Conditions are not always satisfactory.
After all, it's all individual and everyone chooses the right vehicle for them.

Summary I watched a video called "Why public transportation sucks in US"
The video revealed to me the development of transport in the United States. Take Indiana and Scotland as examples, namely the time it takes to get from one piont to another. In Indiana it takes a lot of time and only by car, and in Scotland it is much more less time and can be reached by another transport ,for example , by train. Does this show bad public transportation networks in US? Previously, the United States had the best transortation neywork, expecially were popular horsecar. But they were not cheap and not fast. In 1880 50 million people lived in US. Today over 320 million. Around the turn of century many of those horsecar were electrified. Streetcars developed, expecially after Second World War. Streetcars were easy to get anywere. But what happend? Sometimes in 1920s auto technology became advanced enough that the bus became sheaper to operate than the steetcar. Streetcars cost very little to pover but they require a lot of infustructure, buses were more flexible. General Motors bought out streetcar companies and began producing cars and buses. Remember, the US is centered around idea of personal freedom ,with the car you can go anywere. America is country of cars. Cars were available to the common American much earlier that the common European. The US cities much more strictly. Houses are next to houses and businesses are next to businesses which means that the distance between houses and shops in the US is much greater. We can not fit more road infustructures in cities but can fit more public transportation. But here is the most important sentence of this entire video: access to transportation is the simple most important factor in an individual*s ability to escape poverty. Now cities like Portland, Kanas City are turning back to streetcars. People did not want them a century ago but streetcars finally make sense again . Pablic transportation is instrumentally important to the success of cities.

Summary How to fix traffic How to solve the problems with the most congested roads? More lanes mean more room for more cars which means shorter travel times…right? Unfortunately, not. This solution violated the fundamental law of road congestion – more lanes mean more traffic. Maybe the solution is the traffic lights or start to charge drivers. The most important things for each driver is the money and the time. But what about safety? It turns out one of the best ways to prevent accidents is the roundabout, but the real reason the roundabouts are not ubiquitous is that drivers need rules. The diverging diamond interchange improves safety, decreases a number of conflict points and is faster. It costs less too. As good as these solution sound there is no one way to solve traffic. Because of the difference between cities with chronic traffic problems.
