UNIT 6. VERY TRADITIONAL BRITAIN. READING DRILLS

Motorway – along the motorway, a new motorway. I like to drive my car along motorways. Yesterday  I  drove my  car on the motorway.

A lane – a sea lane, air lane,a traffic lane, a  three-lane motorway ,  a left lane,  a right lane, a country lane. His horse stumbled (споткнулась)  in a lane and fell with him.  The left lane is for  traffic only. It is the most exciting thing  going  for a walk along a  country line somewhere in the field.

Highway — along the highway, four—lane highway. We were driving  along the highway at 7 .30 yesterday. It was the road which gave on to the highway.

A sign – to sign – a road sign. It was a bad sign. It was a good sign. Road signs lead the traffic out of the city. This morning the president has signed the new economic law.

A carriageway — a dual carriageway, a single carriageway. There are a lot of dual carriageways, and  single carriageways in  big cities.

A hedge – a green hedge, to cut a hedge. Yesterday my dad cut the hedge around our house.

Seat belts — Fasten seat belts! It’s unsafe to drive without putting on seat belts. Driving without seat belts may soon be against the law. Were you wearing a seat belt?

An accelerator (a gas pedal)- to step on an accelerator.  She put her foot down on the accelerator pedal. When you press a car’s accelerator and the car goes faster.

A gear –to gear. a gear box,  the first gear, the second gear , a car with four forward gears .

A brake — to brake, a hand brake. I  had to brake suddenly when a cat ran in front of the car. Test your brakes after driving through water.
