英语作文火车与飞机旅游的利弊

People travelling long distances frequently have
to
decide
whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly
anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than
a few hours. Train partments soon get cramped and stuffy. It
is
almost
impossible
to
take
your
mind
off
the
journey.
Reading
is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the
wheels
clicking
on
the
rails
soon
lulls
you
to
sl-ee-p.
During
the
day,
sl-ee-p
es
in
snatches.
At
night,
when
you
really
wish
to go to sl-ee-p, you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky
enough to
get a
couchette,
you
spend half
the
night
staring
at
the small blue light in the ceiling, or fumbling to find your
passport
when
you
croa
frontier.
Inevitably
you
arrive
at
your
destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even
lepleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. On
motor-ways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high
speeds,
but
more
often
than
not,
the
greater
part
of
the
journey
is
spent
on
narrow,
bumpy
roads
which
are
crowded
with
traffic.
By parison, trips by sea offer a great variety of civilized
forts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play
games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good
food--always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it


is
not,
and
you
are
likely
to
get
sea-sick,
no
form
of
transport
could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea
journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared
to sacrifice up to a third of their holidays for the pleasure
of travelling on a ship.
Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even
hardened
travellers
are
intimidated
by
them.
They
also
have
the
grave disadvantage of being the most expensive form of
transport. But nothing can match them for speed and fort.
Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds,
and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience.
You do not have to devise
ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane
gets you to your destination rapidly. For a few hours, you
settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real
escapist can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some
services. But even when such refinements are not available,
there
is
plenty
to keep
you
oupied.
An
aeroplane
offers
you
an
unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar
effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really
see
the
shape
of
the
land.
If
the
landscape
is
hidden
from
view,
you
can
enjoy
the
extraordinary
sight
of
unbroken
cloud
plains
