Travelling. Means of Transport
Of course, travelling by plane is the fastest and the most comfortable way of travelling to other cities and countries, but at the same time it is the most expensive too. When you go by plane, you must arrive at the airport one or two hours before the flight and try not to miss the plane. On the plane you sit in a comfortable armchair and can watch a film, have a meal, listen to music, play a game, see the sky or sleep. But if you are afraid of going by plane, it is not for you.
Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but when you are on the train you can look through the window and see the nature of the country. Modern trains have very comfortable seats. If your trip is short, you can sit at the small square table and have tea, coffee, or lunch. If your journey is long, you can even sleep upstairs or downstairs. When you want to go by train, you must buy a single or a return ticket at the booking office at the railway station or buy it online. Then you take your luggage and go to the railway station, where you find the platform in the timetable. From the platform, you get on the train and your journey begins. If your train is a thorough train, you don’t have to change trains and your trip will be easy.
Travelling by ship is rather expensive and not very popular in our country, but it is very popular abroad. On large ships and small river boats, passengers can visit foreign countries and different places of interest in their country, too. It is very nice to be on board the ship and to see the water, to feel a fresh sea wind which is blowing in the face and to hear the cries of the seabirds.
Travelling by car is very comfortable too. You don’t have to book tickets. You can take much luggage and put it in the back of the car. Furthermore, you can stop where and when you want and spend there as much time as you like.
Travelling on foot is very fascinating for young people because they are very active and strong and can walk for many hours a day with their backpacks. You can go and see beautiful nature, animals and birds, swim in the lake or in the river, make a fire and cook food, put a tent and sleep outdoors. You don’t have to buy tickets, and you can be sure that you won’t miss a bus, a train, or a plane. For those people who are old or lazy, travelling on foot isn’t comfortable.
There are many means of transport, and you can travel alone, with your friends, family and relatives. Travelling is always interesting and helps you to learn plenty of new things, meet new people, make new friends and see new places of interest.
