However, for some people travelling is not fun at all.Some people suffer from travel sickness.

It often depends on how far you want to travel and the choice oftransport Using a blcycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicyclecan be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances. Cars and motorcycles are faster modes oftransport, but they are more expensive to use as gasoline is needed for them to work. It can usually be assumedthat the longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time consuming it will beC.The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a plane from anairport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away.

People often need to arrive at the alrport three hoursprior to departure.D.A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same country, orbetween countries which are connected by land.

ЕЛКА
Ну и елка, просто диво,
Как нарядна, как красива.
Ветви слабо шелестят,
Бусы яркие блестят
И качаются игрушки -
Флаги, звездочки, хлопушки.
Вот огни зажглись на ней,
Сколько крошечных огней!
И, верхушку украшая,
Там сияет, как всегда,
Очень яркая, большая,
Пятикрылая звезда.
(Е.Благинина)
Д Е К А Б Р Ь
В декабре, в декабре
Все деревья в серебре.
Нашу речку, словно в сказке,
За ночь вымостил мороз,
Обновил коньки, салазки,
Елку из лесу привез.
Елка плакала сначала
От домашнего тепла.
Утром плакать перестала,
Задышала, ожила.
Чуть дрожат ее иголки,
На ветвях огни зажглись.
Как по лесенке, по елке
Огоньки взбигают ввысь.
Блещут золотом хлопушки.
Серебром звезду зажег
Добежавший до макушки
Самый смелый огонек.
Год как день вчерашний.
Над Москвою в этот час
Бьют часы Кремлевской башни
Свой салют - двенадцать раз.
(С. Маршак)
Children's poems about New Year
TREE
Well, the Christmas tree, just a miracle,
How Smart is beautiful.
Branches little rustle,
Beads bright shine
And swing toys -
Flags, stars, firecrackers.
Here the lights lit up on it,
How tiny lights!
And the top of the decorating,
It shines, as always,
Very bright, large,
Pyatikrylaya star.
(E.Blaginina)
DECEMBER
In December, in December
All the trees in silver.
Our river, as if in a fairy tale,
Per night paved frost
Updated skates, sled,
Christmas tree out of the forest brought.
Christmas tree crying first
From home heat.
In the morning crying stopped,
I am breathing, alive.
A little shake of her needles,
On the branches of the lights lit up.
As the ladder, on the Christmas tree
Vzbigayut lights up.
Shine gold firecrackers.
Silver star lit
Running to the top
Most bold light.
A year has passed, as yesterday.
Over Moscow in this hour
Kremlin tower clock strikes
His salute - twelve times.
(S. Marshak)
