Good morning everyone, we are group Today we are very happy to be here to talk about The different types of transport - This is our leader Tang Tai Nhan and six members in our group, Nguyen Hoang Yen Nhi, Tran Thi Lam Nhi, Phan Quynh Nhu, Nguyen Thi Nhung, Ninh Thi Ngoc Quynh, Nguyen Thi Hong Tham - The topic is being talked about the different types of transport in Vietnam There are six parts to our presentation The first is about the different types of transport The second looks at the advantages and disadvantages of different types of transport The third discusses the popular types of unique types of transport The fourth deals with the unique types of transport in Vietnam The fifth part is the positive and negative impacts of different types of transport on the environment and the final part mentions the solutions BODY/ DEVELOPMENT The different types of transport (The first part is being presented by Tang Tai Nhan) Transport is the movement of people and goods from one place to another Transport can be divided into four main types: a Land transport - The land transport category includes all methods of transporting people and goods over land The most common type is the automobile, but this category also includes buses, trains, bicycles, motorcycles, and more - The history of land transport starts with the development of the wheel in ancient times, which led to the invention of carts and chariots The first trains appeared in 1804 With the advent of motorised vehicles, a number of new forms of transport were introduced including cars, buses, trams and trolleybuses b Air transport - The air transport category includes all methods of transporting people through the sky in aircraft - The air transport industry is a major contributor to the global economy It is also one of the most important modes of transportation It has played a crucial role in the development of the world economy and has helped in the economic growth of many countries - Air transport is one of the fastest growing industries in today's global market The industry's future looks promising with high demand for air travel, especially from emerging economies, and technological advancements that are making it more economical for airlines to fly long-haul routes - The future of Air Transport is not only about flying humans from one place to another but also about transporting goods and cargo such as food, medicines, clothing etc., which will make it even more vital for countries around the world c Sea transport - The sea transport category includes all methods of transporting people and goods by boat or ship on a body of water such as an ocean or sea This category does not include air-based means of transportation such as planes or helicopters - Sea transport has been the dominant form of international trade for centuries, and today it is the primary means of transporting large quantities of high-value items like automobiles, containers full of consumer goods, and crude oil - The word shipping originally referred to sea vessels that carried cargo, or goods while being transported by water Today it refers to the business of moving goods from one place to another on large cargo ships d Space Transport - The space transport category includes all methods by which humans travel through outer space in spacecraft like satellites, rockets, and more - Space transport can be used for many different purposes:to carry humans into orbit; to carry cargo over long distances; to launch objects such as satellites or probes out of earth’s atmosphere; to collect samples from space for scientific study; and to provide military surveillance from orbit e Animals-powered transport: - Animal-powered transport is a form of human transportation that relies on the muscular power of animals It has been used in many different ways, but most often as a means of carrying heavy goods - In the past, animal-powered transport was crucial since it was the only available means of transportation for people and goods Today, animal-powered transport still has some uses in certain parts of the world where motorized vehicles are not common or roads are too poor for them to be usable - The use of animals in this way is not without its problems The animals can suffer from heat exhaustion and injury, and they may also transmit diseases to humans through their manure or by acting as hosts for parasites such as tapeworms Advantages and disadvantages of different types of transport (The second part is being presented by Yen Nhi) a Land transport There are many advantages and disadvantages of land transport The main advantage of land transport is that it is cheap, convenient, and fast On the other hand, the disadvantage of land transport is expensive, inconvenient, and slow b Air transport Air transport is one of the most popular methods of transportation today Air travel has many advantages and disadvantages Some of the advantages are that air travel is fast and convenient, it can be cheaper than other modes of transportation if you book in advance, there are many airlines to choose from and it is a great way to see the world Some disadvantages include more delays, lost luggage, security risks, high ticket prices, and limited space in airports c Sea transport Sea transport is a very common form of transport for many goods It is the most cost-effective and fastest form of transport, but it does have its limitations The advantages of sea transport are that it is the cheapest and fastest form of transportation, which makes it the most cost-effective It also has a large carrying capacity, meaning that ships can carry up to 20,000 containers at a time However, sea transport has some disadvantages as well The first disadvantage is that ships are not able to travel through ice or frozen water; this makes them unable to travel in winter months when there is ice on the surface of the water This limits where they can go in the winter months and how much they can carry with them Another disadvantage is that ships have to travel in straight lines and cannot turn quickly or make tight turns due to their size and shape; they cannot easily avoid bad weather like hurricanes or storms because they are so large d Space Transport Space transport is the process of delivering humans, animals, or other objects from one point in outer space to another There are many advantages and disadvantages to space transport One advantage is that it can be used for long-distance travel and exploration Another advantage is that it can be used for transporting heavy objects There are also some disadvantages to space transport The first disadvantage is that making a spacecraft fly takes a lot of resources and money The second disadvantage is that the spacecraft needs enough fuel for the journey to not take too long e Animals-powered transport The advantages of animal-powered transport are that they are cheaper and more accessible than other forms of transport They are also more environmentally friendly and sustainable By the way of animal-powered transport, they require a lot of maintenance, and animal labor can be difficult to control Popular types of transport in Vietnam (The third part is being presented by Lam Nhi) Vietnamese people use many means of transport like that: bicycles, motorbikes, cars, buses, taxis, airports, trains, and so on But the most popular means of transport is the motorbike You can see motorbikes everywhere from big cities to remote areas In my opinion, there are some reasons following: Firstly, the cost of a motorbike is cheaper and affordable for most Vietnamese The average cost of a motorbike is still around one thousand dollars or cheaper While the cost of a car is some hundreds and thousands of dollars That is why motorbikes are the most popular means of transport in Vietnam and developing countries Secondly, motorbikes are easy to drive, fast, small and suitable for the streets in Vietnam The streets in Vietnam are quite narrow If you own a car, it is hard for you to travel to work every day with it, especially during rush hours and traffic jams The motorbike is small enough to through the crowd Besides, the parking place is a big problem with everyone wanting to park their car Currently, motorbikes have some disadvantages such as no safe, traffic jams, and pollution environment But now, we don’t find any kind of transport that is better than a motorbike.  - Taxi  Taxis can be seen very commonly in big cities as well as in urban areas In smaller towns, it can be more difficult to find a taxi, and it will be practically impossible in mountainous areas The average tariffs are from 10,000 to 15,000VND per kilometer.  There are official and unofficial types of taxis The former offers customers good services and reasonable prices while the latter is sometimes vague about fee calculation Some of the most reputable taxi brands you should go to are Mai Linh, VinaSun, Taxi Group, and ABC.  - Bus  The cheapest option would be to use the bus Though much less convenient, buses offer rock-bottom prices to get you to your destination - or at least nearby There is a large network across the cities There are both fan and air-conditioned options and comfort can vary quite a bit, especially as the fleets begin to age Things can get crowded too, as school kids use buses to get home after finishing the day Tickets are bought from the conductor on board, and they can usually help you know which stop to get off at too As well as local buses, there are also numerous options for getting between cities and provinces Depending on how much you want to pay, these can be the most comfortable option for traveling long distances with some offering wifi, toilets, and airconditioning The unique types of transport in Vietnam (The final part is being presented by Do Nhung) Motorcycles, cars, buses, ships, trains, planes, They are vehicles that are no longer strange to the world in general and Vietnam in particular However, in Vietnam, there are also unique and typical vehicles that are only found in Vietnam The following means are included The first is the cyclo A cyclo is a vehicle with a propulsion unit located at the back that pushes the passenger unit in front to move The motivating part here can be human power or an engine There are two popular types of cyclos: bicycle cyclos and motor cyclos Cyclo first appeared in Saigon around 1939 It has wheels, front wheels, and rear wheel The advantage of this type of vehicle is that it does not make noise and protects the environment Sometime later, a motorbike cyclo appeared It was improved in every way and equipped with an engine Unlike a bicycle cyclo, a motor cyclo uses an engine to move Currently, cyclo is no longer used as much as in the past, it mainly only appears in big cities such as Hue, Hanoi, and Saigon and is used for tourism activities The second unique means only available in Vietnam is the basket boat If you have the opportunity to set foot in the coastal areas of central Vietnam or along the sea routes, you will easily come across images of circular boats floating on the beach The basket boats are made of plastic or woven from bamboo The boat is about 2m in diameter with an oar and rope for tying Basket boats are most often used in Da Nang to the South Central provinces to catch fish and squid The basket boat does not need a lot of people to steer, it no longer takes too much effort to operate However, it is necessary to master important skills to control Therefore, traveling by basket boat is considered one of the adventurous experiences that tourists should experience when coming to Vietnam In addition, in Vietnam, there are several other unique vehicles such as autorickshaws, trams, kayaks, canoes, etc Positive and negative impacts of transport on the environment (The fifth part is being presented by Ninh Quynh) Positive There are still some positive activities of types of transport for the environment such as: Old shipwrecks can actually be good for the environment They can become artificial coral reefs, where a lot of sea animals can live In fact, research has been done on these artificial reefs It was found that where corals are sometimes damaged and battle to grow, they grow easily on shipwrecks The corals anchor themselves to certain parts of the wreck In some places where corals have become endangered, experts have created fake wrecks to help the corals to grow Wrecks also give hiding places to a lot of other sea creatures Wreck diving has become a popular sport One of the reasons is that you can see a lot of amazing sea life that you would not easily see anywhere else Negative Although making an important contribution to the socio-economic development process such as transporting and circulating goods on the market, expanding the market, reducing costs and bringing many opportunities for cooperation from outside, human means of transport…Most of types of transport are harmful to the environment, different types of vehicles will affect the environment to a certain extent Here are some of its negative effects on the environment: - Traffic emissions - the cause of the greenhouse effect The operation process of means of transport emits a large amount of substances such as dust, CO, NOx, SOx, gasoline vapors, lead dust, benzene Solar radiation easily penetrates the atmosphere and hits the ground, causing the temperature to rise - Noise pollution Cars, trucks, trains and especially planes can create a lot of noise that disturbs humans and animals This will not necessarily affect nature itself, but it can make the environment we live in very unpleasant Noise pollution is a cause of irritability, sleep disturbances, but distracts, distracts and verbally communicates, detrimental to academic work and academic results - Affect water quality Transport activities have an impact on hydrological conditions and water quality Fuel, chemicals, and other hazardous particulates discarded from aircraft, cars, trucks, and trains or port and airport terminal operations can contaminate hydrographic systems Because demand for maritime shipping has increased, marine transport emissions represent the most important segment of water quality impact of the transportation sector The main effects of marine transport operations on water quality mainly arise from dredging, waste, ballast waters, and oil spills Besides, various types of garbage containing metals and plastic are not easily biodegradable They can persist on the sea surface for long periods of time and can be a severe impediment to maritime navigation inland waterways and at sea and affect as well as berthing operations - Affect soil quality The environmental impact of transportation on soil quality particularly concerns soil erosion and soil contamination Coastal transport facilities such as ports have significant impacts on soil erosion Shipping activities are modifying the scale and scope of wave actions leading to damage in confined channels such as river banks Highway construction or lessening surface grades for port and airport developments have led to an important loss of fertile land Soil contamination can occur through the use of toxic materials by the transport industry Fuel and oil spills from motor vehicles are washed on roadsides and enter the soil Chemicals used for the preservation of wooden railroad ties may enter the soil Hazardous materials and heavy metals have been found in areas contiguous to railroads, ports, and airports - Affect biodiversity Transportation also influences biodiversity The need for construction materials and the development of land-based transportation have led to deforestation Many transport routes have required draining land, thus reducing wetland areas and driving-out water plant species The need to maintain road and rail right-of-way or to stabilize slopes along transport facilities has resulted in restricting the growth of certain plants or has produced changes in plants with the introduction of new species Many animal species are becoming endangered as a result of changes in their natural habitats and the reduction of ranges due to the fragmentation of their habitat by transportation infrastructures Environmental protection solutions (The final part is being presented by Hong Tham) The current status of environmental pollution by means of transport is becoming a matter of great concern The pollution of air, soil, water and noise had a bad effect on the public’s health Many experts believe that, in order to reduce pollution caused by vehicles, it is necessary to implement short-term and long-term measures Firstly, to improve air quality, the most important thing is to minimize the emission of fossil fuel vehicles – the main cause of environmental pollution due to emissions One of the most effective measures today is to increase the use of clean fuel vehicles, prioritizing the development of “Green transport” Green vehicles are vehicles that use engines that cause as little harm to the environment as vehicles powered by gasoline and fossil fuels Green transport will use advanced technology such as electric vehicles, vehicles powered by solar cells, hydrogen vehicles or vehicles using fuel cells, Notably, in order to join hands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to mobilize people to actively participate in public transport, change traffic habits, limit dependence on transport in close range The government also needs to complete policies to support investment in innovation of public passenger transport by buses using environmentally friendly fuels Consider walking or using a bicycle to get to places that are short distances like school, the mall or at work This does not emit greenhouse gasses and it is completely safe for the environment Moreover, this is also good for health Walking and cycling provide good exercise for your heart Besides, reducing pollution will reduce harmful effects on the respiratory system Overall, it will be a better and healthier lifestyle The government also needs to tax private vehicles that cause environmental pollution to adjust people’s traffic behavior towards using public transport A very useful solution is to plant a lot of trees, lawns, and flower gardens It not only helps reduce pollution but also makes the space more green, clean and beautiful Finally, each person participating in traffic needs to have a change in habits and awareness in choosing vehicles to make the environment more green CONCLUSION - We’ve just talked about different types of transport That’s all of our group’s presentations Thank you all for listening - Last but not least, this is the first time we have had a presentation in English, so there are a lot of mistakes hoping you guess will comment honestly If you have any questions for us, go ahead, all comments are welcome
