Most people do not like to stay at home on vacation. They like to 1 to see something different or do something exciting.2 people from the country go to the city and 3 from the city go to the country for vacations.
During vacations, trains, buses and air-planes are all 4. It is very hard to buy train or air 5. Usually many people take cars or buses for traveling on vacation. But which is the best way 6 on our trips? It's hard to say. Going by train doesn't cost as much as by plane, and taking buses 7 not as comfortable as taking trains.8 is cheaper (更便宜的) but slower to take a bus than to take a plane. So if you go to a farther place, you'd better 9 a train. You may also take a plane if you have enough money. And if you go to a 10 place, I think you should take a bus.
