companies as managers or bussinessmen.There are
many international companies, so people who want

People like staying at the seaside,lying on the
beach getting suntan and just relaxing...That is
another reason while a lot of people travel to
holiday destinatons like Costa Brava in
Spain,Chalkidiki in Greece and many other.
Celebrations,funerals,anniversaries or just
meetings with friends.These journies help to keep
together families and friends.

Forms of travel

• Aeroplane
• Bus

It is fast,comfortable and in nowadays also
cheap,so it is the best way to travel.However,ther
e is a danger falling down the plane.Well it is
up to you,how you decide...
We have modern busses equipied with
television,bar or toilets.They are safer and
cheaper than trains,but there are a lot of stops
in towns along the way,so travelling can take
longer time.

• Train
• Car
• Ship

Sitting on the train means comfort and
socializing for many people.You can have some
refreshments served to you directly in your
compartement.If you travel at night,you can sleep
in a sleeper car to get some rest through night.
The dominant form of transport in the 20th and
21st century has been undoubtely car.You can take
a car and go anyway you want.Car is symbol of
independence and freedom especially in America,
where each member of the family has own car.
Before air travel was possible, people used to
travel long distances by sea. In the first half
of the twenty century, grand passanger ships made
regular voyages between all the continents.

• Motorbike
• Bicycle

Motorbike has one advantage, but many
disadvantages, like a form of transport.Advantage
is that you are original and well-looking with
motorbike, but disadvantages are rain, snow, and
motorbike can consist of only two passangers, but
as you can see from the photo, it doesnt have to
be true....?
Large number of road users have replaced their
noisy,smelly four wheelers for a much cleaner and
more efficient machine the bicycle.Countries
like Netherlands or Switzerland are famous for
protecting their environment and you can see
thousands of bicycle in the streets.
....and one illegal type of transport is
hitch-hiking...?
