Travelling by train is slower than by plane,but it has its advantages(
优点)You can see the country you are travelling throughModern trains have comfortable(舒适的) seats and dining carsThey make even the longest journey enjoyable
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possibleThere are large liners and river boatsYou can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on themShips 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 carYou can make your own timetableYou can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day,just as you likeYou 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 nightThat is why travelling by car is a popular pleasant trip,while people usually take a train or a plane when they are travelling on business
