Text: How Should I Travel?

To travel on an aero plane is faster than a car especially in a helicopter if you are not traveling too
far.

At the airport at the check-in-desk you will get your ticket to go on board, each passenger gets a
boarding pass

And your luggage is weighed and stored.

You could also travel by boat or ship from the harbor at the seaside but don’t get a seat on a
submarine if you want a comfortable ride!

You can take the train from the train station or a taxi or a bus. But a bicycle or a motorbike is not
enough for us.

At the bus you will have to stand in a queue before you go and you will stop at every bus stop, so
your journey will be slow.

The easiest way to travel is by road in your own car, you will have to have a license and a map if
you’re going far. You can hire a car at a car-hire booth. But, you must learn your number plate
and have your passport handy if you’re going out of state. You’ll need money at the tollgates and
at the petrol station too, for petrol and parking fees for these fares are always due. Finally, make
sure you know your road signs and obey the traffic lights. The traffic and the trucks must wait for
pedestrians too have rights.
