your answer

An airplane is a form of transportation that has changed people’s lives. Thanks to the plane, our
lives are now faster, more exciting, and more convenient that before.

You cannot deny that a plane is fast. For example, the Concorde flies at supersonic speed. A
businessman can leave Paris at 11 a.m. in the morning and arrive in New York at 8 a.m. the same
morning in time for a day’s work. Many business people in Europe will fly to London for a noon
meeting and then return home to Rome or Madrid for dinner.

It is always exciting to take a plane trip. When you take a trip by plane, you know that you might
cross many time zones, many oceans, and many countries. When you get off the plane, you could
be in a place that speaks a different language. A plane is like a magician’s trick. You get in a box
and you come out somewhere totally different.

Nothing can beat the convenience of a plane. In the old days, it might take you days to do what
the plane can do it an hour. Boats, for example, only leave on certain days of the week and take a
long time to get to their destination. Planes give you the option to leave several times a day and
get you to your destination quickly.

Although other forms of transportation may be more comfortable, none has changed the way we
do business and live our lives more than the plane. Thanks to the speed, excitement, and
convenience of the planes, our lives are richer.
