　　We often hear people say, “The world is getting smaller and smaller.”

　　The first reason for this is we are now having more and more advanced transportation, from bicycles to private cars, from buses to trains, from ships to airplanes. The highly developed transportation has greatly shortened the distance which seemed too far to cover.

　　Another reason is that in this modern society we need to contact frequently with each other. Everyday we must deal with a lot of people known or unknown to us to have our work done, and the rapid development of transportation makes our frequent contact possible.

　　As a matter of matter, with the development of technology and society itself, the world we live in we become ever smaller.
