Means of transports: Cars - trains - planes On arraving to plan your holidays or your next business trip, we should take into consideration different options when it comes to transportation in order to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of each. Depending on the distance, destinantion, volumen and type of goods you carry, we can choose between a wige range of means of transports. For the overwhelming majority, people own cars to be able to move daily or commute from their homes to their jobs, not only is it getting a suitable freedom but also an independence, thus; they can come and go as they please. In addition to this, cars are a fast and efficient way to get from place to place. For instance, if you have to be somewhere that is only five miles away, then you only have to leave roughly 10 minutes beforehand. Nevertheless, I would like to point out that the cost of running a car is increasing, especially with the cost of fuel constantly rising and also its maintanance such as parking fees, gas, tires, oil changes and car insurance. It is said that another drawback would be the enviromental impact that cars have. We can agree with the idea that lots of journeys by car, where public transport is available is costing the enviroment unnecessarily. Not mention it, pollution, traffic jams, especially during the rush hours and the lack of parking places. All of this cam make us consider some other alternatives such us train and plane. Train can be the optios for many people, choosing its pros like those discounts that are offered to students and some unemployeds. On the way to your destinantion can do stuff that do not involve driving, for instance, reading a book, texting whatsaaps, etc, and so on. You do not have to deal with the crazy drivers on the road. However, it also has some cons. Limited and inflexible routes and timetables, expensive and sometimes unreliable. The plane could be another great options for its pros. Fast for long distance deliverires, usually between 24 and 48 hours. On contrary, the cons could be: The cost of fligths, our flight could delay or cancell and of course and thinking in our incomes, the prices usually are really expensive with its airport taxes as well. I wish we could choose for our proposals only one of these transports. However, each type of transport has both advantages and disadvantages whether it would suit your needs.

Let's cross the bridge when we come to it The whole family was having a get together that day at grandmother's house. Suddenly, Mary, the youngest granddaughter began to mourn. A great silence took over the dinner-room when almost all relatives asked her about those tears. Mary could hardly utter a word. "I should have studied more", she stated. Nobody knew what she was talking about, or maybe they did? The only one not surprised by Mary attitude was her father, Joseph, who had a special relationship with her daughter and kept track of Mary's outcomes at High School. Apparently, Mary had failed in one Maths test that week and, as a consequence, she would have to resit the exam again. Her last chance would be the following week so, her father calmly replied, "Perhaps we should stop talking about it and actually get on and do it, you must study more! Mary, I know you are out of your depth; however, there is no point in worrying about it now, uou must make the most out of this opportunity!" Joshep encouraged his daughter because he was aware that Mary could get through the whole Math term, as long as she passed the remedial exam. Finally, Joseph as father and advisor, said to his young daughter, "Mary do not cry and worry because we should cross that bridge when we come to it, and you at least have another opportunity" Mary dried her tears and smiled timidly.
