Travelling
Modern life is impossible without travelling. Thousands of people travel every day either on business or for pleasure. They can travel by air, by rail, by sea or by car.
Travelling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive too. Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its adventages. You can see more interesting places of the country when you are travelling through. Modern trains have very comfortable seats. There are also sleeping cars and dining cars which make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. On board large ships and small river boats people can visit foreign countries and different places of interest within their own country. On board ship there are all facilities to enjoy your trip: tennis and badminton grounds, swimming pools, cinema and dancing, halls. Indeed It's apleasant way of spending a holiday.
As for me I prefer travelling by car. I think it is very convenient. You needn't book any tickets in advance. You can stop wherever you wish and spend at any place as much time as you like.
