On!y one prediction can be made about transport with any certainty:
we'l1 have to trave! !ess, and this will change our lifestyles enormous!y.
The Earth's climate is changing at a terrifying rate and it's our fau!t for
using so much pol!uting energy, especia!!y to trave!. The vast number
of cars on the road will have to be cut drastical!y, with a!rnost everyone
going by train, bus or trarn.
Flying will also need to be restricted to essential journeys. Sorne rnay
complain when they are no longer able to fly abroad to find warm
sunshine, but the alternative is a world where a!most everywhere is
boiling hot. Holidays will be at home, or near it.
Rapid improvements in communications and information technology
will bring about huge changes to study and work, with more of us
being educated and ernp!oyed at home. This will mean less need to
commute, or uve in homfical!y overcrowded cities.
Overa!!, we'!l make fewerjourneys, they wi!l be shorter, and almost
entire!y by pub!ic transport. It's time to start p!anning for that future
now.

e Sample answer
(written by a strong First Certflcate candidate)
Helio Ruby,
Notes
To answer your question, 1 think it's the scene when Pip first visits Miss
Havisham at Satis House.
The boy is called to Miss Havisham and meets her in a dark, old-fashioned
room. Miss Havisham is wearing a wedding dress, surrounded by clocks ah
showing 8.40, as if she wanted to stop time.
There is also a giri called Estella there. She is rude to Pip because she feels
she belongs to a higher class than him and social class is a theme of Great
Expectations. Then Pip goes out into the garden and meets Herbert Pocket,
who wants a flght but later becomes his friend.
The whole situation is really strange, even frightening. Maybe it's because
of the way the room looks or because of Miss Havisham's words to Estella.
'Break his heart,' she says, which surprises and terrifies the boy.
The scene is important because we meet people who later have a great
influence on Pip's future. 1 enjoyed the whole book, but this is the part 1
remember and liked best.
Bye for now,
Janet
