Means Of transport.

Inhabitants have traveled all over the world from the very beginning of their subsistence. In the distant past they only traveled on foot, but later they started to use donkeys, horses, camels, elephants, and even dogs for travel, depending on the place where they lived. In the course of time and the development of technology, we now have many forms of travel. We are able to use bikes and motorbikes, cars, trains that travel under the ground and on surface, airplanes, helicopters and ships. If we want to get to another country, the best way of getting there is to fly by plane. It’s very quick and comfortable, but expensive. Man has been flying from the beginning of the twentieth century when the first airplane left the earth. At first they flew over their cities, over their countries, then over English Channel. Later, the first pilots reached America and Australia. Nowadays airplanes are used in people’s everyday life. They carry them from one place to another. Airplane flights may seem to be dangerous, after a crash many people decide never to fly again. But airplanes are very safe, and millions of people travel by air, as it is the quickest way of traveling. A very nice way of traveling is to sail onboard a ship. It takes much more time, but gives more opportunities to visit interesting places. Unfortunately, it is expensive too, and requires more free time. On a big passenger ship you may have wonderful time swimming in the swimming-pools on deck or under deck, go to restaurants, cafes, discos, lie in the sun, play deck games or dance in the night club. Cars, trains, and buses are all quite common, you have a chance to get off wherever you want Going by coach is cheaper, but it is neither quick nor comfortable. Also, it may be a little bit dull. For those who want to see as many fascinating places as fast as possible, perhaps the best way of traveling is to go by car. People who make a decision to go by car are independent and they can plan their trip entirely by themselves. A lot of people like to ride their bikes, no matter how far they want to go. It keeps them in close contact with nature and provides good health.

Many young people want to see a lot, go far away and travel in cheap way, so they go hitchhiking. It gives them a lot of fun, excitement and sometimes a lot of surprises. But it can also be dangerous.
Modern means of transport make the world very small. It is possible to visit many countries, get familiar with many exotic cultures, and meet people of different nationalities. It is up to you what you choose, the cheap and slow traveling on foot or by bike or the more expensive but more comfortable air flights or sea voyages.
