Think about this question: what would it be like if there was no other way to get around and we could only use our feet? Also, we would spend a lot of time on the way before we got somewhere. So we really need to thank all those modes of transportation (交通方式(.
The earliest boats were canoes(独木舟). Later there were sailing boats(帆船), but they could only be used in one direction.
In the 19th century, some modes of transportation that we know today came out, such as the bike, the train and the subway. As it got easier to travel, people wanted to get to places faster. In the early 20th century, the first plane in the world came out. By the 1970s, many families in the UK had a car.
They all make our traveling easier and faster and help us see this world better.
