JAMES- CAR , THE STIG- PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
2 l0)) Jeremy Clarkson, who had travelled in the boat, ran into
London City airport and ran straight to the check-in desk.
The man at the check-in desk said, 'Unfortunately, a gentleman on a bike
has checked in already.' Jeremy couldn't believe it! He looked at Richard
Hammond, who was standing nearby laughing.
They waited for the other two to arrive. They needed public transport to
come last. Top Gear, after all, is a programme about cars.
A few minutes later came The Stig. He was third.
And 15 minutes later, James, who had come by car, arrived at the airport.
Disaster! Public transport had beaten the car!
First, elicit the order in which everyone arrived.
1 Richard (bike)
2 Jeremy (boat)
3 The Stig (public transport)
4 James (car)
Then, elicit why Jeremy Clarkson was annoyed.
Because Top Gear is a car programme and the car came last.

7 Listening to music you don't know
c.
1 Sending or receiving text messages: many people use two hands and look
at the phone, not the road.
2 Setting or adjusting a satnav: you use one hand and you take your eyes
off the road.
3 Doing your hair or putting on make-up: you use one hand and you look in
the mirror, not at the road.
4 Talking on a mobile (not 'hands free'): your control of the car gets worse
because you concentrate on the phone call and not on the road.
Eating or drinking: you double your chances of having an accident, because
you only have one hand on the wheel.
6 Listening to your favourite music: if the music is fast, people drive fast. If
the music is slow, they drive slowly.
If the music is loud, your reaction time is reduced.
7 Listening to music you don't know: it is much less distracting and safer
than listening to music you know.
