Means of transport
My name is Linda. I like different kinds of transport. During the week, I usually drive a car to work because it's fast and comfortable. On the
weekends, I prefer to ride my bike around the park. It's good for exercising, and I enjoy the fresh air. When I go on vacation, I like to travel by
plane because it’s the quickest way to visit new places. Sometimes, my husband and I take a boat trip to relax and enjoy the sea. He loves
helicopters and dreams of flying one day. We also take the bus or train when we want to explore the city without worrying about parking.
