TRAVELLING

Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and ancient towns. Travelling is the best way to spend free time and to get new impressions.

Modern means of transport give us excellent opportunities for travelling. Travelling by plane is the fastest and the most comfortable way of travelling. You can get to many countries only in a few hours. You can sit comfortably in the armchair and read, sleep or enjoy tasty food. But air tickets are very expensive and you can’t see much in the illuminator.

Travelling by train is also pleasant. When you are going by train you can sit comfortably in your carriage. You can read and sleep. You can enjoy the views from the seat of a railway carriage. Train tickets are much cheaper, but you spend more time for trip.

The car is my favourite means of travelling. You can go wherever you want and stop at any place you’d like. For this way of travelling you need no tickets. And you don’t need to think about timetable.

All means of travelling have their advantages and disadvantages. Every person chooses according to his or her plans and preferences.
