Millions of people all over the world spend their time traveling. They travel to see other countries or cities. They travel to enjoy picturesque places or simply for a change of scene. It’s always interesting to discover new things and different ways of life, to meet different people, to try various food, to listen to various musical rhythms.
Those who live in the country are fond of going to big capital cities. They spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants.
City dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun.
Most travelers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them- the sights of the city, old churches and castles, views of mountains, lakes and vast forests.
People travel by different means of transport. People travel to have holidays or on business. If they travel on business they choose the fastest transport. They often travel by plane or by train. It is very expensive but it is very fast. And if people want to have a rest they choose traveling by boat or by car. When you travel by car or by bike you plan your trip yourself.
Personally I prefer traveling by car with my parents. I think it’s very comfortable because we don’t have to book tickets and we needn’t carry heavy suitcases. When I travel I can watch a video, listen to music or admire picturesque landscapes through the window. We can stop wherever we want and spend at any place as much time as we like.
If you travel a lot you gain new experience which you may find useful in your further life. So traveling is great.
Train They travel too fast, so we won’t be able to see much. We’ll have to change trains. Some trains aren't very comfortable and if you sleep on the upper berth, you may be afraid of falling down. Sometimes the neighbors’ in the compartment are unpleasant and very talkative. It's not expensive. You cab buy a return ticket and spend the rest of your money on other things. We’ll be able to see much as trains cover very long distances. Trains in the UK are very comfortable. They are always on time. There are no traffic jams.
Ship A cruise holiday can be too expensive for us. There is usually nothing much to see in the ports. Young people may feel lonely and get bored. You may be sea-sick. You have to follow a strict time-table and are not able to explore places as much as you'd like. I think it’s the most comfortable and relaxing way of traveling. We’ll be given a chance to see many different sights at each port within a short time. We don’t have to worry about travel arrangements during the trip and we can spend all day sunbathing and swimming. Many ships have swimming pools.
Bicycle We’ll never be protected from weather (sunny or rainy). It’s very tiring. We can’t take much luggage with us. It's dangerous as a cyclist can be knocked over. It's not good for long trips. It’s a well-balanced combination of rest and exercise. It’s very economical. We’ll be able to stop where we want. It's environmentally friendly. We are not afraid of traffic jams.
Car We can get into traffic jams on motorways and that’s very stressful. I always get tired of sitting in a chair for a long time. I get sick travelling long distances. Petrol is expensive. It's difficult to find a parking lot. Travelling by car is safer and more comfortable than walking. We don’t have to look for a seat. We can leave when we want and we can stop when we want, we don't depend on time table. We can take more luggage.
