Travelling

Travelling became apart of our life. Thousands of people travel every day ei­ther on business or for plea­sure. There are different kinds of traveling. People can travel by car or by bus, by train, by plane or by ship.

Of course, travelling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive, too.

Travelling by train is slower than travelling by plane, but it is less expen­sive. You can see many in­teresting places of the coun­try through the window. Modern trains have more comfortable seats. There are also sleeping cars and din­ing cars that make even the longest journey more pleas­ant. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advan­tages of trains and planes. That is why many people prefer them to all other kinds of travelling.

Travelling by sea is pop­ular mostly for pleasure trips. Tourists can make voyages on large ships to foreign countries. The trips on the Volga, the Don and the Black Sea are very pop­ular today.

As for me I prefer traveiling by car. I think it's more convenient because you don't-buy tickets, you don't have to carry your baggage and you can stop any place. You can spend as much time as you like at any place.
