The High Speed Rail

Reading Worksheet — Elementary (C) | tahricteaches.com

The high speed rail is a very fast train. It can move at more than 300 kilometers per hour. Many countries have these trains, like Japan, France, China, and Taiwan. People use them to travel between big cities in a short time.

The trains look long and smooth. The front of the train has a pointed nose. This shape helps the train cut through the air. Inside, the seats are soft and the windows are big. Passengers can see the view as they ride.

The high speed rail is also very safe. The trains run on special tracks. Workers check the tracks every day. The train has computers that help the driver. This モダンな technology stops accidents and keeps people safe on every trip.

Many people choose the high speed rail instead of the plane. The train station is often in the city center. You do not need to wait a long time before you go. You can also bring more bags than on a plane. The seats give you more space too.

The high speed rail is good for the planet. It uses electric power, so it does not make a lot of dirty air. More people can ride one train, so fewer cars are on the road. In the future, more cities will build a high speed rail to help people commute faster and cleaner.
