TRAVELLING
Almost all people are fond of travelling. It is very
interesting to see new places, another towns and countries.
People may travel either for pleasure or on business.
There are various means of travelling. As for me there
is nothing like travelling by air; it is more comfortable,
more convenient and, of course, far quicker than any
other means of travelling. There is no dust and dirt of a
railway or car journey or troubles with changing from
one train to another train.
With a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure
combined. From the comfortable seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of the whole countryside. If you are hungry, you can have a meal in the
dining-car; and if a journey is a long one you can have a
comfortable bed in a sleeper.
Travelling by ship is not very popular now. That is
because it has become very expensive and not many people can afford it. Bu it is very pleasant to feel the deck
of the ship under your feet, to see the rise and fall of
the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in the
face.
Many people like to travel by car. It is interesting
too, because you can see many places in a short time,
you can stop when and where you like, you do not have
to buy tickets or carry your heavy suitcases.
