Answer 1

【答案】Dear Mike,

I’ve heard that you’ve read a novel of Jules Verne and believed that “Travelling was more enjoyable in the days before the invention of the aeroplane”, but I beg to differ.

No doubt aeroplanes dwarf all the other means of transportation with regards to speed and safety. Contrary to what you've put forward, travelling might not be as satisfying as is depicted in the novel in these days, when travelers tend to wear themselves out after an endless period of walk and be threatened with wildlife and infection.

Meanwhile, I highly adore flying experience. It doesn’t hurt to pamper yourself with a relaxing air journey after months of work. A pleasant journey high above the sky is sure to sweep your fatigue off, as well as provide a feast to the eyes.

What’s more, travelling is all about experiencing different culture and viewing unique scenery. Despite negative impacts of tourism on the environment.

Those are all of my points. I am looking forward to hear from you again.

Yours,

Wang Lei
