Explanation
Transport helps people and things to go from place to place. Some transport goes on land, such as a bus, a train and a bicycle. Some goes on water, such as a felucca and a ship. Some goes in the air, such as an aeroplane. A passenger rides in a vehicle. Buses, cars and aeroplanes make smoke. The smoke can make the air dirty. This is pollution. Walking and riding a bicycle make no smoke.
Worked examples
Salma and her father go to Alexandria by train. Salma is a passenger.
A felucca sails on the Nile. The wind moves its sail, so it makes no smoke.
Karim lives near his school. He walks there. Walking makes no smoke and it is good for his body.
Class activity
