Travelling
People travel а lot nowadays. The means of transport are numerous and we often have much choice. Many thousands of years ago it was not so. First, people travelled on foot. It is the oldest and the most natural way of travelling! Man also feels well in water. But of course, swimming is not used as а means of travelling. Still, waterways were probably the first "roads" for which the means of transport were invented: rafts, boats and ships. The ships then came into the seas, but they were sailing аlong the coastline until the man leant to navigate looking at the stars. One of the greatest inventions of mankind was а wheel. With the help of it appeared carts, vans, carriages, cars, and buses. This invention was а breakthrough in the transport history. Another invention was а steam engine. It was the main reason of industrial revolution in the 19th century. It also helped to create trains. Ву the end of the 19th century а great network of railways covered our planet. Then came the era of planes. Man at last conquered the air - the dream which was expressed as far as in the myths of Ancient Greece came true! When gyroscope was invented flying became much safer and quicker. What are the main features of different means of travelling? Travelling bу air is, of course, the quickest and the most comfortable, but sometimes it's not the cheapest, and safety control is very tiresome. Travelling bу train is good because you can see the countryside and travel very comfortably. Unlike airports, railway stations are often in the centre of the city. But а journey bу train often takes а lot of time, especially in Russia, and you are very close to your fellow-travellers. Travelling bу bus has more disadvantages: buses are not as quick as planes and are not as comfortable as many trains. But if you travel to the country, this is the best choice! Travelling bу car is also а good choice, as you may start at any time you like and go to any place. You are limited only bу the quality of the road. So, many ways of travelling exist. Probably some more will appear in the next decades. Good luck in your choice!
