Make notes about the advantages and disadvantages of traveling by train:

1. Traveling by train has many advantages. First of all there are no stressful traffic jams, and trains are fast and comfortable. Also you can use the time in different ways. For example you can just sit and read, or watch the world go by. You can work, or you can have a meal or a snack in the buffet car. Besides you can sleep on the train and get to your destination fresh and relaxed.

2. However traveling by train also has some disadvantages. For one thing it is expensive and the trains are sometimes crowded and delayed. What is more you have to travel at certain times and trains cannot take you from door to door. For example you need a bus or a taxi to take you to the railway station.

3. Despite the disadvantages I prefertraveling by train to traveling by car because I feel more relaxed when I reach me destination.
