Travelling by train and car

   There is no doubt that modern life is impossible without travelling. From time to time one should leave the place he lives or works in for a while to change the scenery because one gets tired of the same surroundings and daily routine.
   One of the methods of travelling is by train. There are different kinds of trains. Long-distance trains are fast trains. Local trains make stops and you can get on or off a train at a very small station, even if it is only a platform. If you are going to a distant place, a sleeping compartment is very comfortable.
   To avoid the trouble of standing long hours in a queue, you’d better book tickets in advance. When the loudspeaker at the railway station announces that your train is in, the passengers are asked to take their seats. The carriage and compartment are appointed in your ticket, and you'll find them easily. And then it is time for you to find your berth. It may be a lower berth, which is more convenient, or an upper one, a corner seat or a seat facing the engine or back to engine one. After finding your seat you should put your luggage into a special box under the lower berth. Soon the train starts off, and you sit in a cozy compartment and marvel at the country you are travelling through. It’s much more convenient to travel by express trains for it takes you less time to get to your destination.

   One can't deny the fact that travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. Modern trains have very comfortable seats in all passenger carriages and there are sleeping-cars and dining-cars that makes even the longest journey enjoyable.

   There is the other way of travelling which a lot of people call the best- travelling by car. However, this method has both positives and negatives.

   One advantage is that you can travel wherever you want, you can start exactly when you need and stop practically anywhere you like. Also you don't have to care about your luggage, you can take as many thing as you need, and in towns and cities you don't need public transport cause you have your own car.

   Howerever, there are disadvantages too. Service of cars and petrol are very expensive. Also you may stuck in a traffic jam and it can be difficul to find a place to park in a city. And in general car travelling is quite dangerous comparing to other methods.

   In conclusion I want to say that every method of travelling is good in its way, and one just has to find his favourite one.
