Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airline
you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than 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 liners and river boats. You can visit
many other countries and different places. And 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 tree 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 to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.
That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasant trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they
are traveling on business.
