TransportAdvantagesDisadvantages Very cheap, efficient for short journeys, door-to door-- go the small towns and cities, Takes longer than the train or plane, no meals, uncomfortable Cheaper than the airplane, Views along the road arrive at the centre of the cities Takes longer than the airplane No meals, crowded Cheaper than plane Comfortable, Accommodation and meals Entertainment More expensive than the train or bus Not convenient for visiting inland places Quick, time-saving, Comfortable Meals Expensive, Airports are far from the centre of the cities.

Every kind of transport has its advantages and disadvantages. Buses can offer us convenient service, even door to door. But taking buses for too long, we will feel tired for we can’t move freely. So when I go to a distant place, I prefer trains. On trains, we can move freely or sleep on the bed comfortably. Especially after speeding-up several times, trains take us less time than ever before. Sometimes, we have to take ships.

Frankly speaking, I don’t like ships. Ships are easily affected by the weather and much slower. There’s no doubt that airplanes are the fastest but the most expensive. Although I will never forget how excited I was when I was on the airplane for the first time, I won’t take them easily because of the high-price tickets. Every coin has two sides. So, no wonder different people have different preferences to different means of transport.

Compare train travel with plane travel, and we can say both ways have advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, air travel is fast and saves time while train travel takes more time. Secondly, the plane flies so smoothly that you can rest comfortably during the trip, but in comparison the train is sometimes crowded. Thirdly, train travel is safer and more convenient for passengers to enjoy the views outside the windows of the train. Last but not least, air travel is so expensive that only a few can afford the fare and train travel is cheap enough for most of the passengers.

Refer to the pictures on page 55, what should you take when you are preparing for your own trip ?

When we travel, we should care our manners, or we can bring ourselves trouble. Then discuss with your partner about what we shouldn’t and what we should do on travel.

We can get much fun from travel but if we don’t care our manners, we can bring ourselves trouble or get bad impression from others. In the public places, we shouldn’t shout or cry at times, or we can be thought to be a rude person. We had better not take up public property for too long, and had better stand in a line, for example, when we wait for our bus or other service. A person who spits or litters at his own, smoke regardless of others won’t be respected. As long as we care our manners, we can get not only good mood but good impression from others
