Day 1 - Transportation

Transportation is an essential topic in any language. Today, we will learn related vocabulary, practice reading and listening, and activate our speaking skills.

Grammar: In the grammar section, students will learn about "صفت فاعلی," which is an adjective that refers to and gives information about the subject of the sentence.

Reading: Reading about transportation in Tehran provides information about various public transportation options in the city, such as buses, taxis, and subways: راهنمای کامل حمل و نقل عمومی تهران به همراه نقشه مترو و اتوبوس

Listening: On a train journey from Mashhad to Tehran, we will accompany a family as they share their trip and experience on a new and modern train: ولاگ سفر با قطار پنج ستاره فدک مشهد به تهران - ارزششو داره؟ | IRAN First Class Train

Conversation topic: Some experts argue that improving public transportation is more beneficial than improving airports. Do you agree or disagree with this view?
