Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner(客机), you can travel in one day to places which needed a month or more to get to hundreds of years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but you can see the places you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. 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 good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That’s why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they travel on business.

Kristina’s family was going to visit her grandparents. She was so excited! It had been months since their last visit. They called a taxi to take them to the airport. “This will save us lots of time,” Dad said. “We won’t have to worry about parking.”
However, the streets were crowded with cars, and the taxi slowly made its way to the airport through the traffic. They arrived at the airport very late, got stuck at a check point for a while, and had to run all the way to the gate to catch their plane. Out of breath, they finally reached the gate. The clerk saw them dash up and shook her head sadly. “You checked in too late,” the clerk said, “so we had to give your seats to other people. Now the plane is completely full.” The clerk booked them on another flight, which would leave two hours later. The family was upset, but all they could do was to wait.
After two long hours, the family finally got on a plane. When they got off the plane after the quick flight, Grandma and Grandpa greeted them with huge smiles. Mum, Dad and Kristina were very glad to see them at last, and they couldn’t wait to get to their house.
Grandpa took Kristina’s hand, and they happily chatted and laughed as they went together to pick up the luggage. They waited and waited, but their luggage was nowhere to be seen! Dad asked an airport worker for help, and she looked on her computer for a minute or two. “I’m sorry, but it seems that your luggage didn’t get on your plane,” she said. “It won’t be here for another hour.”
After another hour, the family picked up their luggage and left the airport. The sun was setting as they pulled into her grandparents’ driveway. Everyone was hungry and tired.

When you think about a Hawaiian holiday, you may think about relaxing on the beach with a drink in your hand and the sun on your body. Hawaii is certainly a perfect place for a lazy holiday, but there is much more than just sunshine and beaches.
These large islands of Hawaii that are open to visitors each offer something a little different, so where you go will depend on (取决于) what kind of holiday you like.
Molokai (莫洛凯岛)
If you go on holiday to experience local culture and history, then there is no place better than the island of Molokai. Take a tour of the Halawa Valley, where the earliest Hawaiians are thought to have built one of the island’s first villages, and find out what Hawaii might have looked like hundreds of years ago.
Kauai (考艾岛)
Do you prefer your holiday to be more exciting? The island of Kauai is home to the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, state park full of beautiful views and nature trails (小路). Why not try a hike along the sea on the 18-kilometer trail? Or book a place at the Hanakoa campsite so you can rest under the stars.
The Island of Hawaii
Hawaii’s biggest cities are on the island of Oahu, but Oahu isn’t the state’s largest island. That would be the Island of Hawaii, also called the “Big Island”. And if you dream about leaving the city behind and spending all of your time with the local wildlife, this may be the place for you! Here you can swim with manta rays (魔鬼鱼) and snorkel (用通气管潜泳) with green sea turtles (海龟), and maybe you’ll see a dolphin or a humpback whale (驼背鲸) by the Kona Coast.
