What means of transport is popular in your country?


Motorbike is considered to be well know in our country for the following reasons. In the first
place, it is convenient to travel short distance especially in traffic jam. Second, it is not as
difficult to find a place to park as travelling by car
How do people often travel in your country?
For short distance, people prefer travelling by public transport like train or coach because they
are free to enjoy the view out side the window. For long distance, they choose to travel by plane
as it is the most comfortable and the quickest way to travel. They can save time travelling by
plane. It only takes them a few hours to get to their destination. Travelling by other means can
take them even two days to get there.

fresh air in the early morning. When coming back home in the afternoon, it is easy for me to
travel especially in traffic jam.
