People use various means of transport to get from one place another
In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the
place they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or on
horseback or by boats and ships. Then trains, trams, cars, buses, airplanes,
underground and other means appeared.
Many people like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of travelling. A lot of
people like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests and
fields through windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as
slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.
