① We cannot live a modern life without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by air. With a plane one can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but one can see the country he is travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. ② They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large luxury liners(客轮) or river boats. They are not as fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel hundreds of miles a day, just as they wish. They can stop whenever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel. That is why people choose travelling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business.
