| People move from place to place. |
| There are lots of ways that you can move around from one place to another. |
| Sometimes you can just move your feet and walk. |
| Walking is good for you. |
| Some places are too far to walk to. |
| You might have to ride a bicycle or ride on a skateboard. |
| Some places are too far away to ride your bicycle to. |
| You might have to drive in a car, or a van, or even a truck. |
| My father has a car. |
| My uncle has a van. |
| I have never been in a big truck. |
| Trucks are usually used to carry big loads from one city to another. |
| I would like to be a truck driver. |
| I would travel all over and sit high up in the cab. |
| I have been in a taxi cab. |
| Once, my mother and I took a taxi to the hospital. |
| There was a special meter in the taxi. |
| When we finished our taxi ride, the driver looked at the meter to find out how much money we owed him. |
| I once rode a horse. |
| I sat in the saddle and held on tight to the reins. |
| The horse ran very fast. |
| It was a bumpy ride, and I was afraid that I would fall off the horse. |
| Not too many people around here use horses for transportation. |
| They used to use horses for transportation in the old days. |
| If you want to travel very far away, you have to go on a train, a plane, or a boat. |
| If you are in a hurry, it is best to take a plane. |
| Planes fly through the air very fast. |
| Trains go along the tracks. |
| Sometimes I can hear the train whistle from my house. |
| Boats take a long time to cross the ocean. |
| Great big boats that cross the oceans are called ships. |
| If you like to take it easy and look out at the water, then ships are a good way to travel. |
| They say that the world is a lot smaller now because of transportation. |
| People can travel to all parts of the world quickly and easily. |
| The world is not really smaller, but it has become easy to get to faraway places. |
