Speed and comfort
/spiːd/ /ænd/ /ˈkʌmfət/
By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of
/baɪ/ /kəmˈpærɪsn,/ /ˈfɛri/ /trɪps/ /ɔː/ /ˈkruːzɪz/ /ˈɒfər/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /vəˈraɪəti/ /ɒv/
civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious
/ˈsɪvɪlaɪzd/ /ˈkʌmfəts./ /juː/ /kæn/ /strɛʧ/ /jɔː/ /lɛgz/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈspeɪʃəs/
decks, play games, meet interesting people and enjoy good
/dɛks,/ /pleɪ/ /geɪmz,/ /miːt/ /ˈɪntrɪstɪŋ/ /ˈpiːpl/ /ænd/ /ɪnˈʤɔɪ/ /gʊd/
food -- always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it

is not, and you are likely to get seasick, no form of transport

could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea
/kʊd/ /biː/ /wɜːs./ /ˈiːvən/ /ɪf/ /juː/ /ˈtrævl/ /ɪn/ /aɪˈdɪəl/ /ˈwɛðə,/ /siː/
journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are
/ˈʤɜːniz/ /teɪk/ /ə/ /lɒŋ/ /taɪm./ /ˈrɛlətɪvli/ /fjuː/ /ˈpiːpl/ /ɑː/
prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure of
/prɪˈpeəd/ /tuː/ /ˈsækrɪfaɪs/ /ˈhɒlədeɪ/ /taɪm/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈplɛʒər/ /ɒv/
travelling by sea. Aeroplanes have the reputation of being
/ˈtrævlɪŋ/ /baɪ/ /siː./ /ˈeərəpleɪnz/ /hæv/ /ðə/ /ˌrɛpju(ː)ˈteɪʃən/ /ɒv/ /ˈbiːɪŋ/
dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by
/ˈdeɪnʤrəs/ /ænd/ /ˈiːvən/ /ˈhɑːdnd/ /ˈtræv(ə)ləz/ /ɑːr/ /ɪnˈtɪmɪdeɪtɪd/ /baɪ/
them. They also have the disadvantage of being an
/ðɛm./ /ðeɪ/ /ˈɔːlsəʊ/ /hæv/ /ðə/ /ˌdɪsədˈvɑːntɪʤ/ /ɒv/ /ˈbiːɪŋ/ /æn/
expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for
/ɪksˈpɛnsɪv/ /fɔːm/ /ɒv/ /ˈtrænspɔːt./ /bʌt/ /ˈnʌθɪŋ/ /kæn/ /mæʧ/ /ðɛm/ /fɔː/
speed and comfort. Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far
/spiːd/ /ænd/ /ˈkʌmfət./ /ˈtrævlɪŋ/ /æt/ /ə/ /haɪt/ /ɒv/ /30,000/ /fiːt,/ /fɑː/
above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an
/əˈbʌv/ /ðə/ /klaʊdz,/ /ænd/ /æt/ /ˈəʊvə/ /500/ /maɪlz/ /ən/ /ˈaʊər/ /ɪz/ /æn/
exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of
/ɪgˈzɪləreɪtɪŋ//ɪksˈpɪərɪəns./ /juː/ /duː/ /nɒt/ /hæv/ /tuː/ /dɪˈvaɪz/ /weɪz/ /ɒv/
taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you
/ˈteɪkɪŋ/ /jɔː/ /maɪnd/ /ɒf/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɜːni,/ /fɔːr/ /ən/ /ˈeərəpleɪn/ /gɛts/ /juː/
