4."The world is so big.We want to have a look."Do you love traveling?Have you ever traveled by train on your vacations?Or do you like traveling by plane or by car better?
For centuries people have been saying that railways are dead.People say that we can live without railways,as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary.We all keep hearing that trains are slow,lose money and are dying.But this is not true.
In these days of expensive oil,railways have become highly competitive(有竞争力的) with cars and planes.If you want to carry people or things from place to place,they're cheaper than planes.What is more,a railway takes you to the heart of a city center,while airports are usually built far away from the city center.If you take cars,you will often be caught in crowded roads.If you take trains,you don't have to worry about that.Besides,no plane or car can ever carry so many people and things like a train.
Instead of being dead,railways are much alive.Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey.You can eat well,sleep comfortably,and feel safe while you are traveling on the train.We have entered the age of super-fast trains,which are traveling 150miles an hour and more.Soon more and more people will take trains to go traveling rather than take a plane or drive a car.
