Travelling - questions
Answer the following questions.
1.)Why and how do people travel?People travel in order to reach places that are close or far away, they travel for tun or from necessity.
An everyday form of travelling may be going shopping, commuting to school, to work or visiting friends.
There are two ways of travelling: one is using our own means of transport and the other is to rely on the public transportation services.
People and goods can be transported by land, by air or by water.
For water transport are the relatively small costs. The advantage is that one can také almost as much luggage as one likes.
By air consumes huge sums of money.
An air ticket ensures us a comfortable seat on the plane which can fly us any place in the world within a few hours.
At the airport we go through the passport control and security check, have our luggage checked and then wait until the plane is ready for take-off.
Land offers the greatest variety of means of transport.There are motor road vehicles and bicycles or the one hand and rail on the other.
Of rail vehicles, which are almost exclusively designed for public use, we could mention trains, trams, and the underground.
For short and middle distances a car is fast enough so as noc to get too tired by travelling, unless we get into a traficc jam.

When we are seated and the train stars, we can spend the time talking with a fellow passenger, observe the landscape out of the window, eat some food, play cars with a friend or sleep.
The underground trains usually go every five minutes on average.
The taxi in big cities can just be celled by phone or hailed while they pass by in the street.
