1. How did Jake's class travel to Paris?

   Under the sea by train

   Last spring, Jake's class travelled from London to Paris on the Eurostar, a high-speed train. The train goes through the Channel Tunnel, a very long tunnel under the sea between England and France. The journey took about two and a half hours.

   Their teacher chose the train for two reasons: it pollutes much less than a plane, and it goes from the centre of London to the centre of Paris, so they didn't need to travel to an airport. In Paris, the class went on a boat trip on the River Seine and climbed the Eiffel Tower.
