Sample Answer
I like to travel whether it is done by train, bus or plane. Of course, traveling by airplane is always more comfortable and quick if anybody was to ask me about it. However, I don’t get much of an opportunity to travel by plane, but I know someone who does.
He is none other than my 45-year-old neighbor “William Henry.” I have known William for more than 10 years since he moved to our neighborhood, but I have seldom seen him traveling by train or bus when traveling a long distance.
In fact, I talked to him for the first time when I was going to pick up one of my friends at the domestic airport in my city. After that, I have seen him traveling by plane at least once a month. Of course, he takes a bus or train when he travels short distances, but that is only because no airplane flies to those places!
Anyway, I have traveled with this neighbor of mine a few times in the last few years or so, and every time I have traveled with him, he has advised me to fly as much as I could to save more time. He also told me that the more time I would save, the more money I could make, except, of course, he knew very well that I wasn’t precisely as shrewd of a businessman as he is.
Indeed, my neighbor, William Henry, is a very successful businessman, as he is involved in exporting and importing different kinds of products. Besides, he is also the president of our city chamber of commerce, the apex body of all the businesses and industries of my city.
Well, I think he frequently travels by plane because he wants to save as much time as possible to become more financially successful. Besides, since he has to travel to different places rather frequently, comfort also becomes an issue, and traveling by plane undoubtedly offers the best comfort one could hope for.
