<b>V. The following passage contains ten errors. Find and correct them: </b>

First of all, walking is obviously the cheaper means of travelling, and can be more quicker in a city centre. Of course, the far you
have to go, the more tired you will become. In some ways walking is more healthy than travelling by bus or by car, but it can be
just unhealthy because cities are much polluted than they used to. Cars are faster of course and more conveniently, but as cities
become more crowdedly, parking is getting harder. Sometimes public transport is better, even though buses don’t go as fastly as
cars do. Cars are a lot much convenient but they cause most pollution, it is better to avoid using them if possible . In a city the
fastest way of travelling is on a bike, which keeps you fitter and is not so noisily as a motorbike or a car.
