Peoplewho travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to goby land, sea, or air. Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train formore than a few hours. The train will soon get crowded and dirty. It is almostimpossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading may help you to kill timebut soon the clicking on the rails will bring you to sleep. During the day,sleep never lasts long. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you findyou can hardly manage to do so. If you are lucky to get a sleeping seat, youspend half the night looking at the small blue light over your head, and whenyou finally arrive at the station, you are so tired that you don’t want toleave.

Longcar journeys are even less pleasant, for it is impossible even to read. Onmotor-ways, you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but moreoften, the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy (不平的) roads which are crowded with traffic.

Whentraveling by sea, you have a different experience. You can have a walk on theboard, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food, and ofcourse, only when the sea is calm. If it is not, you are likely to get seasick(晕船), you will find no journey that can be worsethan that. Even if you travel in good weather, sea journeys take a long time.Few people would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure oftraveling on a ship.

Travelingby plane seems to be dangerous to some people, and, it is also the most expensiveof all traveling forms, though nothing can match planes for speed and comfort.Flying at a height of 30 000 feet, far above the clouds, and at 500 miles anhour is a very exciting experience. The journey is so smooth(平稳的) that there is nothing to prevent you fromreading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing iscertain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and easy. You will not haveto spend the next few days recovering from a long and tiring journey.
