        Topic 36Avehicle that changed people's lives
        An airplane is a form of transportation that has changed people'slives. Thanks to the plane, our lives are now faster, more exciting, and moreconvenient that before. You cannot deny that a plane is fast. For example, the Concordeflies at supersonic speed. A businessman can leave Parisat 11 a.m. in the morning andarrive in New Yorkat 8 a.m. the same morning intime for a day's work. Many business people in Europe will fly to London for a noon meeting and then return home to Rome or Madridfor dinner.
        It is always exciting to take a plane trip. When you takea trip by plane, you know that you might cross many time zones, many oceans,and many countries. When you get off the plane, you could be in a place that speaksa different language. A plane is like a magician's trick. You get in a box andyou come out somewhere totally different.
        Nothing can beat the convenience of a plane. In the old days,it might take you days to do what the plane can do it an hour. Boats, forexample, only leave on certain days of the week and take a long time to get totheir destination. Planes give you the option to leave several times a day andget you to your destination quickly.
        Although other forms of transportation may be more comfortable,none has changed the way we do business and live our lives more than the plane.Thanks to the speed, excitement, and convenience of the planes, our lives arericher.
