VIII. (10 points)
Travelling by train has many advantages. First of all, there are no stressful traffic jams, and
trains are fast and comfortable. Also you can use the time in different ways. For example, you
can sit and read, or watch the world go by. You can work, or you can have a meal or a snack
in the buffet car.
However, travelling by train also has some disadvantages. It is expensive and the trains are
sometimes crowded and delayed. What is more, you have to travel at certain times and trains
cannot take you from door to door. For example, you need a bus or a taxi to take you to the
railway station.
Despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by train to travelling by car, because I feel more

relaxed when I reach my destination.
