The advantages and disadvantages of different means of transport

On foot –cheap, but slow

By plane – fast and comfortable, but expensive

By ship – slow, but romantic



There are many ways how to travel.

We can travel by car, train, bus , plane – every way has its advantages and disadvantages.

Travelling by car is comfortable and fast. We can stop where we want and we aren´t depended on the

time-table. Disadvantage is quite a high price, traffic jams and the danger of accidents. Sometimes

it is difficult to find a place for parking.



Travelling by public means of transport is cheaper and faster, but buses and trains are often crowded and

they can be delayed.

Travelling by plane is fast and comfortable, but very expensive. We mostly travel by plane to foreign countries and for long distances. Some people are afraid of flying. And nowadays there is also the

danger of terrorist attack.

What is a difference between travelling with the travel agency and a holiday on your own?


Travel agency can arrange everything for us – journey, accommodation, trips. Everything is pre-

arranged and the only thing we need is to choose from the catalogues of a travel agency.

When we travel on our own, we can go whenever we want and do whatever we want. We are not dependent

on timetable.

What do you need when you go on holiday?

Valid passport

Visa

Travel insurance

Foreign currency – money

Knowledge of foreign language

Maps, plans, guides

Tips for accommodation



When going abroad we must get necessary documents (passports and a visa). We must have

travel insurance. Besides, we must change money to foreign currency in a bank or at an

exchange-office.


When going by train we must buy tickets and when we fly, we must get air tickets and find out our flight number and departure time.

We should know foreign languages because it is important for making ourselves understood.

What is the best holiday you have ever had?


My favourite country is Croatia, because I like clean see and nature there. In the Croatia there are many beautiful places like National Park Paklenica, Kornati and Plitvička lakes. And many fine cities like Dubrovnik or Zagreb.
