Means of Transport

Of course, travelling by plane is the fastest, but it is also the most expensive. Travelling by train is slower but it has its advantages. Trains go slower than planes, but you can see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have very comfortable seats. Besides there are sleeping cars and dining cars which can make almost the longest journey enjoyable. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advantages of trains and planes. That is why many people prefer them to all other means.

Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. Onboard large ships and small river boats people can visit foreign countries and different places of interest within their own country. A trip by sea is usually called a voyage or a cruise. The main disadvantage is that you can become seasick or sharp wind and low temperature spoil the impressions of the journey.

Buses also can take you to any place you wish. It can be a trip not far from your home or a long journey even to a foreign country. Modern buses have comfortable seats, video and phone, you can have hot tea or coffee, drinks and snacks. Tourist groups usually use buses to visit foreign countries and different places of interest.

Like many people I prefer travelling by car. I think it is the most convenient way of travelling. You needn’t book tickets. You needn’t carry heavy luggage. You can stop wherever you wish and spend as much time as you like at any place.

6. Ask 10 questions of different types on the text.
