     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. 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 pleasure trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.
