The Railways

Many countries have a network of railways to help transport different types of products. The earliest system was in Ancient Greece in 600 BC. Later rail inks were built to connect short distances. In the 19^th century, this changed very much. Many countries developed their own network. They had private links between different towns with Germany and Britain. Britain had the best links. These links allowed carrying heavy goods such as coal, iron, ore, and wood. Building a railway was a hard work for labourers. Railways are very expensive to construct but important to transport raw materials and such goods as textiles quickly and cheaply.

In the early 19^th century, the first passengers travelled on the railways with horse-drawn carriages. From 1840-1850 Britain was connected by railways and used steam engine to pull carriages.

Transport

There are as many means of transport as you can only imagine. They are a bus, a bicycle, a car, a ship, a train, a plane and so on. And today I want to discuss all of them.

The most popular means of transport is a car. Nowadays there are so many car producers and brands that a car becomes the most popular and comfortable type of transport. You can travel by car everywhere. Another popular transport is a bus.

The cost of travelling by bus is much lower than that of a car. Bicycle is popular among young people. They use it during the warm seasons to travel around the city or the nearby places. It’s healthy and affordable for most of people. Train is popular for its low cost and cozy atmosphere. You can make a long travel on the train and don’t need to pay a lot for it. Plane is popular for its speed but the cost is quite high. The most luxurious means of transport is a ship. I mean not those small ordinary ships, but the ones that travel across the oceans with thousands of tourists. They are often called liners.
