Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern
plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages(优势). You can see the country
you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the
longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can
visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or
planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four
hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you
wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good
meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip,
while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.
