transportation Discussion Compared with traveling by air,what are the advantages of traveling by train?List at least three of them: 1. cheaper more convenient 3. Sometimes more comfortable... GLORIA: I‘m glad we took the train. I don’t like to ride in buses. 　　 KAREN: Yes, I agree. We can see the scenery better. In a bus, all you see are the roads. GLORIA: Even in Taiwan, I always liked to take the train. It is more comfortable. KAREN: I agree. Buses bounce too much. After two or three hours, you feel too tired. GLORIA: Look at that village! KAREN: Beautiful. GLORIA: Do you think I can take a picture through this window? KAREN: I dont know if it will turn out good. The window might cause the picture to be blurry. GLORIA: I will try. KAREN: Who is that man in the aisle? GLORIA: Oh, he is coming to check tickets. We have to show him our tickets. MAN: Tickets, please. You are on the wrong train, ladies.These tickets are for the express train. KAREN: The express train? MAN: Yes. The train you are on is the local train. The local train stops at every station.

GLORIA: That isnt bad. I dont mind at all. We are enjoying the view of the countryside. MAN: Its alright this time. I wont make you buy two new tickets. But next time, please be sure you are on the right train. KAREN: We will read the signs more carefully next time. Thank you.
