Reading & Writing
Over the years, it has become much easier to quickly travel long distances. This brings many benefits to people and to the economy, too.
Take rail, for example. China has the world’s most extensive high-speed railway network. The railways connect different parts of the country, making travelling more convenient. If you’re planning to travel within China, high-speed trains might be the best choice.
Air travel has also made the world a smaller place. As flying becomes a cheaper and more efficient way to travel, we are able to travel all over the world, learning about different ways people live, and enjoying different cultures.
The innovation in transport really has turned the world into a global village!
