This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly. It s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of 4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1. On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned. Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00. The Bus System Outside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey. Cash fares for London buses have been abolished you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs 1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users. Light Rail and Trains You can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford. River Services There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from 2 Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds. National Rail Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1. 21. When taking the London Underground, you _.

A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who dont eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E. During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills. When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of school-aged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge. When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating. Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. Thats because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children. 3 Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabularybuilding words to help them read and communicate better. Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better self-esteem. In conclusion, family meals are very important. 24. The writer wants to tell us that . .
