Travelling is popular in modern life. The fastest way of travelling is to take a plane. With a modern airliner it takes one day to travel to places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago. Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable. Some people would like to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners 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 travelling 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's why travelling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they're travelling on business.
