If the journey is a long one, you can sleep at night. A ticket for a train is not so expensive as a ticket for a plane. You can buy a single ticket or a return ticket. Sometimes you have to change trains, but if you have a lot of luggage, a porter will help you to take it to the left-luggage office.

Travelling by plane is more comfortable, more convenient and much quicker than any other way. There is no dust and dirt of a railway journey. You don’t have to worry about your suitcases. You can read newspapers or have some drinks and food on board the plane. It is more expensive than travelling by train, but you can get to your destination very quickly. Travelling by car has some advantages and disadvantages. You can stop when and where you like and take as much luggage as you want. You don’t have to worry about tickets. But it is very inconvenient to sleep in the car if the journey is long. And the driver of the car must be very attentive and responsible. Travelling on foot is for active people. You can go on foot to the mountains or to the forests, where cars can’t go. You can see beautiful nature and listen to the birds singing. This way of travelling attracts young people and helps them to become strong and healthy both in mind and body. But it depends on the weather, of course.
