Airports are far from the centre of the cities.Every kind of transport has its advantages and disadvantages. Buses can offer us convenient service, even door to door. But taking buses for too long, we will feel tired for we can’t move freely. So when I go to a distant place, I prefer trains. On trains, we can move freely or sleep on the bed comfortably. Free speechEspecially after speeding-up several times, trains take us less time than ever before. Sometimes, we have to take ships. Frankly speaking, I don’t like ships. Ships are easily affected by the weather and much slower.
There’s no doubt that airplanes are the fastest but the most expensive. Although I will never forget how excited I was when I was on the airplane for the first time, I won’t take them easily because of the high-price tickets.
Every coin has two sides. So, no wonder different people have different preferences to different means of transport. Imagine that you plan to spend a holiday. Choose a place you want to visit. Think about the fare for different kinds of transport and decide how to get there. Then, get into pairs. Use these questions to make a dialogue about your holidays.Make a Travel PlanWhen are you leaving?
