When we talk about the ways of traveling, different people may have different ideas. Some think
that trains are the best but others think ships, or cars or planes are better. I think each of them has
advantages and disadvantages.
Travel
ing by train is slower than by air, but it is more comfortable. There are comfortable seats
and dining-cars. You can talk to people and enjoy the beautiful sceneries through the windows. The
train to some people is just like a big moving party.
Some people prefer to travel by sea. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea
is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday. You can go to parties and movies on the ship, and enjoy
the blue sky and water. You may think you are the king of the world when you are on the board.
Some people like to travel by car. You needn't be in a hurry to arrive on time as you travel by
train, ship or air. You can travel as far as you like and shop wherever you with. That is to say, you
enjoy more freedom of choices while traveling by car than by any other means.
Other people like to travel by air. Although it may cost more than the other ways, it can save
much time, and it is more convenient to travel by air if you
go abroad. That is why traveling by air
is popular for business people and students who study abroad.
