Traver by plane
I have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunityvery soon. Anyway, one can find both advantagesand disadvantages when traveling by plane.
The most important advantage is that is the fastest means of transport when referring to large distances.
Anyway, many people feel scared when it comes to fly with a plane. They say that the risks to lose your life when traveling by plane are higher than the ones when traveling by car, for example. A crash is much more dangerous than an accident on a motor highway. They believe that in a car accident one can have the luck to have a broken leg or arm , whereas in a plane crash it is worse. In the majority(of cases the plane explodes and all passengers lose their lives.
Apart from this disadvantage, there are persons who don't choose to travel by plane because they have altitude sickness and they prefer other means of transport for long distances.

Traffic problems in our country and the ways to solve them
People travel to work and faces with various problems in every country. The increase of humans requirement for comfortable traveling causes problems of communication and transportation and it is getting more and more urgent in our days.
In our country most people travel to work either by cars or by buses, in largest cities by troleybuses. There are very few lucky people who can walk to work. Rush hour is not a new thing in Lithuania. Driving to work, with the congestion and difficulty finding parking space is really annoying. In addition, it is not the cheapest, not the healthiest and not environmentally friendly way of traveling. In spite of this, people in our country are not going to refuse their cars, which are mostly old and their exhaust fumes is full of lead.
The best way to solve traffic problems is to change your car in to the bicycle. This is more healthy and environmentally friendly way of traveling. More over it does not cost anything and it is impossible to get in to the traffic jam going by bicycle. Of course, it is not available in winter. In that case we should use public transport to avoid traffic problems and air pollution increase.
The government is building some new roads, improving the old ones, building bridges and motorways to solve the traffic problems in our city. The idea of new metro is being discussed. They are also building new pedestrian precincts, cycling roads in parks and around the city, but not enough in my opinion.
Lithuania was trying to fight traffic problems with free bicycles. According to Reuters the city has put 500 bicycles around the city for free use. The idea was that anyone can use the bikes as long as they leave the it for others after they finish their ride. But unfortunately this idea became “steal the orange bike” action.
To conclude, until we, people, would not understand, that the best way to solve motor traffic problems is to decline motor traffic, we will poison ourselves, and disease,such as cancer will survive...
=======================
Living in the city brings to everybody a lot of advantages. In city you have a lot of sport, cultural and education opportunities. Young people get more education and knowledge in town than in the country and also when they want to get a job, they will easier find it in a city. Very often young people from the countryside move to the city just because they cannot find a job in their birth place. Very big problem is also that in countryside are no hospitals and if people are sick, they have always to travel to a town.
In city you can find more opportunities for everything because it is bigger and has more inhabitants than a village. It has also shopping centers, swimming pools, tennis courts, cinemas, night clubs, pubs, restaurants and a lot of other places, where we can have fun.
However living in the city has also its bad sides. In town are pollution, traffic jams and noise. There is so many buildings that there is no trees, flowers and fresh air. Many citiziens go on a countryside for a weekend just because they want fresh air, peace and quiet.
The next disadvantage are prices. In city is everything more expensive than in a village and there is not home-grown food but mostly junk food. The most serious problem of a town is a high level of criminality. Of course, you can also find criminality in a village but there is not so much pickpockets, thieves, murderers and drug dealers than in a town.
