Travelling: means of transport I always travel in summer. Do you? I like to travel and forget about school. As I know,
people started traveling many years ago. The first travelers were explorers. They traveled
because they wanted to find adventures and to become wealthy and famous. Their trips were
dangerous, but they wanted to discover the new lands. Today traveling isn't so dangerous and it
is more convenient. The tourist companies take care of tickets and make all the necessary
reservations. While traveling around the world you can choose different means of transport:
trains, ships, planes or bicycles. I think that the fastest and the most convenient way of traveling
is by air. However, it is the most expensive. Trains are slower than planes, but this way of
traveling has its advantages. Modem trains are very comfortable besides, you can see the
interesting places of the country you are traveling through. The main advantages of planes and
trains are safety, comfort and speed. That is the reason why most people prefer them to other
means of transport. Nowadays traveling by sea has become very popular. You can visit other
countries or various places of interest within the country when you travel by ship or boat.
My favorite way of travelling is travelling by car. I believe it is very convenient. I don't
need to make any reservations or carry heavy suitcases. I can stop whenever I wish and spend
as much time as I wish at any place.
