In the exam voice: «a pedestrian proceeds on foot a distance of 2 km». Phrases: «go for a walk», «walk to school», «a short walk», «within walking distance», «walk away», «walk out». ### Examples - She walks 2 km to school.

Trap: to school and back is twice the distance. «A walk in the park» means easy, not a trip. «Take a walk» (rough) means leave. Formal «proceed on foot» = walk; «pedestrian» = person walking. Safety: walk on the pavement and cross at a crossing. ## In Jewish tradition In the Torah, "to walk with God" or "walk in My statutes" means to live a certain way, keeping God's laws. **Interpretation.** Noah and Enoch "walked with God" and are seen as especially righteous. The Hebrew word halakhah, the Jewish law, comes from the word for walking, meaning the path one follows. ### Examples - And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God took him.
