Means of Transportation
Transportation helps people travel from one place to another. There are many ways to move around the world. Some are fast, while others are slow but enjoyable.
A car is one of the most common ways to travel. It moves on roads and can take families to different places. Another road vehicle is a motorcycle. It has two wheels and is faster than a bicycle, which also has two wheels but needs pedaling. A moped is like a small motorcycle with a motor.
For longer distances, people use a plane. A plane flies in the sky and moves very fast. It can carry many people across countries and even oceans. A train is another fast way to travel on land. It moves on tracks and can carry a lot of passengers. In big cities, a metro helps people travel quickly underground.
Water transportation includes a ship and a ferry. A ship is very large and carries people and goods across seas and oceans. A ferry is smaller and helps people cross rivers or lakes. A vessel is a general name for boats and ships that move on water.
Each type of transportation is important and helps people reach places safely and quickly.
