Ships and Planes
Ships are slow, but they are still very important. Nine out of ten things we buy travel by ship. Big ships carry oil, cars, corn and even doughnuts across the ocean.
A plane is much faster. It can fly from Taipei to Hong Kong in less than two hours. Large planes can also carry things, but the cost is high.
Therefore, people send letters and small things by plane, and heavy things by ship. Both of them help us sell things to other countries and buy things from far away.
