In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing new railway lines for very fast trains between cities. Others believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

system in advance. On the one hand, it is generally believed that high-speed trains would be beneficial for connecting cities in more efficient ways. As a matter of fact, people can easily go to a neighbour city for business matters or just a simple vacation.
