modern trains have comfortable seats and diningcars. they even make the longest journey enjoyable(令人愉快的).some people prefer to travel by sea. you can visit many other countries or different parts of your country. ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.many people like to travel by car. you can make your own timetable. you can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. you can stop if there is something interesting, for example, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a

helping others. studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. if you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. you can help a friend with his or her studies, go
