Train times

To know the train times, you must read the timetable.

Departure times are the times of the trains leaving the station.
Arrival times are the times of the trains coming into the station.

Peak time is the period of time when lots of people are taking the train. It is the busy time. It is expensive to take the train during peak times.

Train tickets

The cost or price of a train ticket is called the train fare.

You can buy a train ticket at a ticket machine. Ticket machines are sometimes called ticket kiosks.

Alternatively you can buy a ticket at a ticket office.

If you want to go somewhere and come back, you buy a return ticket.

If you want to go somewhere but NOT come back, you buy a single ticket. This is also called a one-way ticket.

If you take 1 train to go from Bristol to Manchester, this is a direct train
If you take 2 trains to go from Bristol to Manchester, you have a connectionin Birmingham
The train from Birmingham to Manchester is a connecting train.

A second class ticket will have minimum comfort and services and it will be cheaper.

Luggage

You can leave your luggage in a left luggage locker.

Important grammar:

“luggage” is an example of a collective noun in English. It is always in the singular form but it refers to all of your bags and suitcases.

Example:

(I have 3 bags. They are too heavy for me)
Can you help me with my luggage? 
Can you help me with my luggages? 

Travel information

If a train is delayed, it means that it is late because of a problem. Example, the train to London is delayed due to bad weather.

If it is “on time“, it means that the train will arrive at the expected time. It is NOT late.

A cancelled train means that it is not running.

If you are hungry or thirsty during the journey, you can go to the buffet carfor something to eat or drink.

Entering and leaving the train

We use 2 very common phrasal verbs to describe entering and leaving the train:

get on = to enter
get off = to leave

Examples:
Please get on the train immediately. It is going to leave!
This is our station. Let’s get off!

BERSEDAKAH TERNYATA BISA MENGHILANGKAN STRESS, MENGURANGI RESIKO KEMATIAN, SERANGAN JANTUNG DAN HIV

Manusia yang paling di cintai oleh Allah adalah yang paling memberikan manfaat bagi manusia. Adapun amalan yang paling dicintai  oleh Allah adalah membuat muslim yang lain bahagia, mengangkat kesusahan dari orang lain, membayarkan utangnya atau menghilangkan rasa laparnya. Sungguh aku berjalan bersama saudaraku yang muslim untuk sebuah keperluan lebih aku cintai daripada beritikaf di masjid  Nabawi selama sebulan penuh. (HR Thjabrani di dalam Al Mu'jam Al Kabir no 13280)

Hadist di atas menyuruh kita untuk menjadi orang yang bermanfaat untuk orang lain seperti membuat muslim yang lain bahagia, mengangkat kesusahannya, membayarkan utangnya dan menghilangkan rasa laparnya. Bagaimana cara melakukannya. Salah atu caranya adalah dengan memberikan SEDEKAH.

Uraian berikut ibi bersumber  dari intisari-online.com yang dimuat di group WA Stba yunisla 2016  tgl 24-4-2018.

Dalam sebuah research yang dilakukan di Amerika Serikat beberapa tahun yang lalu untuk mengetahu reaksi kimia di tubuh manusia saat memberikan sedekah. 

Masing masing perserta diberi uang US $5 (sekitar Rp 70 ribuan ). mereka diberi 2 pilihan : 1. membelanjakannya untuk diri sendiri atau 2. memberikannya ke orang lain (sedekah)

Setelah diteliti ternyata group yang memilih untuk memberikan SEDEKAH ke orang lain merasa LEBIH BAHAGIA.

Apa yangterjadi pada tubuh manusia pada saat ia berbagi ?

Syaraf kesenangan  di otak menyala, seolah olah kita menjadi pihak penerima bukan pemberi. Hormon endorphin (zat kimia yang berkorelasi dengan rasa senang dan  imunitas) dalam tubuh terpacu. Tubuh melepaskan okstosin, biasa dikenal sebagai hormon cinta karena sering muncul saat kita berhubungan intim dan effektif meredam stress.

Kadar okstrosin yang dilepaskan tubuh akan membuat kita makin berempati kepada orang lain dan ini menular ke pihak penerima setidak tidaknya hingga 2 jam kedepan.

Itulah sebabnya mengapa orang yang menerima kebaikan biasanya ingin membalas kebaikan yang diterimanya atau melakukan kebaikan juga ke orang lain.

Berdasarkan riste, stua pemberian/kebaikan akan menginspirasi banya kebaikan lain, atau dengan kata lain mempunyai efek domino

Orang yang menolong teman/tetangganya ditintau dari sesgi medis memiliki  resiko kematian yang lebih rendal dalam periode 5 tahun mendatang ketimbang yang tidak.

Orang yang rutin berbagi mempunyai daya tahan tubuh lebih bgus dalam menghadapi penyakit kritis, termasuk HIV dan serangan jantung

Sekitar 75 % orang yang aktif dalam kegiatan sosial memunyuai kesehatan yang lebih bagus dibanding yang tidak.

Sebaliknya dengan prilaku pelit akan meningkatkan hormon pemicu tress di dalam tuuh
