I would love to take such a journey. It seems so wonderful and
relaxing, andI would get to see so many beautiful sites.
1. Would you be interested in taking the same trip as Li Daiyu and Liu Qian Why or why not
Reading and thinking
2. How is rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
A rail journey is different from a car journey in that with a car journey, if
you see something interesting, you can stop and take a look.
A journey by plane will get you to your destination much faster than a trip by
train or car. However, usually you cannot see so many interesting things from
a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities
to get up and walk around than on a train.
