    ESL Travel Reading

    ESL Travel Reading Comprehension Passage


    Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to
    travel. It may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long
    time, especially when great distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling
    abroad for holidays. But for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer
    from travel sickness. This means that they will become very unwell each time they
    travel. 

    Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to
    travel and the choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power
    it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot
    of time to travel long distances. Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport,
    but are more expensive to use as gasoline is needed for them to work. It can usually be
    assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time consuming it
    will be.

    The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot
    will fly a plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far
    away. Although traffic is rarely a problem for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation
    to travel by plane. People often need to arrive at the airport three hours prior to
    departure. 

    A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within
    the same country, or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver
    will stop at train stations on route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the
    scheduled destination to board the train.

    A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart
    from a harbour in a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance,
    people may choose to sleep on the ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination.
    Some people choose to go on a cruise for their holiday, which would involve stopping
    at many different city ports for a short amount of time. People who need to travel
    short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often rely on their
    legs to take them to places nearby. This is often encouraged as certain modes of
    transport have been said to produce harmful emissions and damage the environment.
