During the summer, my family and I go on trips. We explore places both in our country and sometimes in other countries. I love spending time with my family and discovering new places with different transport modes.

Before we start our journey, I hear my parents discussing how we should travel. Sometimes, my mom suggests taking a flight because it’s fast and safe. My dad doesn’t always agree since he thinks it can be expensive.

Other times, my dad prefers taking the bus. He says it’s cheaper and less stressful. Plus, he likes that we can stop at different places and explore the city along the way.

I personally enjoy traveling by train, especially the subway. It’s affordable and reliable. The underground subway is well-organized and safe. When we take the express train, it’s so fast and comfortable, especially in the VIP section.

Which other transport modes did Peter’s family use?

Now that my grandparents are older, they prefer traveling by car. They think it’s a time-saving and secure option. My grandma likes the freedom of stopping wherever she wants to rest or eat. My grandpa admits that driving for long hours can be tiring, but he likes having control over when he starts his trips.

On the other hand, my uncle Paul is a fan of traveling by ship or boat. He says it’s safe and smooth, and he enjoys being on the water. However, he mentioned that bad weather can sometimes cause delays. When I told him I want to try traveling in a canoe on a lake, he promised to take me to a beach, so I could experience it.

My older brother, Moses, prefers using his motorbike for shorter trips. He finds it easier to park, and it’s more fuel-efficient. He also likes that it’s faster and more affordable to maintain.

My sister likes using tuk-tuks when we’re in the city. They’re like motorized tricycles and can maneuver through traffic easily. They’re cheaper than taxis, but I don’t like using them when it’s raining since they’re not completely covered.
