Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way to travel is by air. With a modern plane you can travel in one day to places very far away while it might take you a month or more one hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by air, but it has its advantages. You can see the country when you are taking a train. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when it is possible. There are large liners and river boats and you can visit many other countries and different places with them. 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 miles a day, just as you like. You can stop anywhere if you want to: a place with something interesting to see, a good restaurant to enjoy a good meal, or a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasant trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are travelling on business.
