Hi everybody,

Come on, try it!

  1. Transportation along the history has been a human necessity,people saw the necessity to move themselves for differentes reasons (to hunt,to fish) and have communication with other people. The ground transportation was always the most used.
    So,nowaday air transport is the most used, it´s fast and ideal for urgent and perishable goods. This mean of transportation of people is very comfortable, it allows you more things: read, have foods and beverage, listen music... It has reliability, normally if flights are on time and regular. The index of safety are better than others means of transportation.
    Another type of transportation, less fast but very used is public transport.
    On the one hand the greatest advantage is that´s cheaper than others, for example the car, and on the other hand the most serious advantage it´s an environmental action.
    Even though there are disadvantages, sometimes it´s durty and if you are an hurry is the lasted transport you must choice, also at rush hour it´s always crowded.

  2. Hi Geno,

    "land transport" is better than "ground" because ground refers to land transport in connection with airports, and land is exclusively for trucks, vans, ...

    "has always been the most used way of transport" because it was in the past and still is nowadays. Rememeber "nowadays" has a final "-s"

    Remember, also, that "food" is uncountable, you will have to say "have food" or "have meals, snacks..." "listen to music" always with "to".
    "It's reliable..." it's better here. "indexes of safety..." if you use the verb in plural, the noun has to be in plural too.
    "...disadvantages, such as sometimees it's dirty" "with "i" and "if you are in a hurry, it's the last..." because the "h" in "hurry" is not a silent letter and don't forgetthe subject after "hurry".

    You write very well, so don't worry about the mistakes too much; they will disappear as you go on writing in English.

    See you,
