[vustudents]

[B]In the past, travelling was nothing less than a daring adventure. There were no roads. There was none of the mechanical transport we have now people travelled on foot. They had to face all sorts of dangers from the weather, the wild beasts and the robbers. Most people, therefore, did not like to go away from their villages. Only those who were adventurous set out on a long journey. They travelled in groups. When man succeeded in training the four-footed animals like the horse and the camel, travelling became slightly comfortable. Still it was a dangerous undertaking. Only a few ventured out of their homes. In those days, it was also very difficult to transport goods from one place to another. In the earliest days, man was his own beast of burden. He carried his loads on his head or back. Later, horses and other such animals were used for this purpose. But the man and the animals could not carry very heavy loads from one place to another. One great development in travelling and transportation was the invention of the wheel. This made possible the making of carts, wagons and chariots. Even today, the horses-drawn buggies and ox-drawn carts are used for travelling and transportation of goods over short distances. But now better, swifter and more comfortable means of travelling and carrying goods have been developed. If you stand by a road in a city, you will find many kinds of vehicles carrying people and goods. There are millions of bicycles on the road. Then there are scooters, motor cycles and motor cars. Rickshaw, taxies, buses and trams carry millions of travelers from one place to another. Now people living in any part of a country can travel to any other part in comfort. Every country has a network of railways. A small sum of your business in more un get, you can travel by an areoplane. A plane will need only a couple of days to fly round the whole world. The travel by sea also has become more comfortable, swift and secure than before Giant steamers have replaced the ancient boats and sailing ships. For the transport of goods, there are all kind of commercial vehicles. Huge lorries carry heavy loads from place to place . there are special containers for transport of petrol, fuel oil etc. very powerful cargo ships and freighter planes carry everything, from tiny needles to tractors, across the oceans.
