   现在许多人愿意乘飞机旅行。随着我国民航事业的迅速发展，全国各大城市兴建了许多现代化的机场。乘飞机旅行有许多长处（方便、快捷、省时、舒适等）；但是，空中旅行也有许多不足之处（机票价格贵，有的旅客不适应空中旅行，常常感到身体不适，甚至有人还担心发生空难）。请你简单阐述上述两个方面。最后请你说明你的看法。

（Composition for reference¹ only ）

  Many people prefer to travel by air. This is because air travel has some advantages. In the first place, airplane, the miracle² created by man, is the fastest means of transport. It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Secondly³, traveling by air is convenient and comfortable. Friendly air hostesses are affectionate and considerate. They look after passengers all the way to their destinations. Moreover⁴, on long distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves.

As a popular saying goes, “Everything has two sides.” The same is true of air travel. It has some disadvantages, too. For one thing, air travel costs a great deal. The average Chinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares. So they prefer to take trains, which save a lot of money. For another, although passengers are assured⁵ of their safety, they are still worried about it during the journey because flying always involves more or less risk.

As far I am concerned, the advantage mentioned above exceed⁶ the disadvantages. If I were given choice between traveling by train, I would certainly prefer the former. For me, time is money and it is the most important thing I have to take into consideration whatever I do. (216 words)
