Alike and different
Everyone in our global community is
connected. Learning how people in different
places live shows us how. This helps us
understand how we are the same, what
things make us different, and the ways in
which we depend on each other.
Transportation is the
movement of people
and things from one
place to another.
In this book , you will
learn about the different
kinds of transportation
people use around the
world. The map below
shows some examples.

From Place to Place
People around the world use transportation every day!
This is one thing we all have in common. People use
transportation to visit family and friends, go to school or
work, and go to stores to buy things they need. Sometimes
people use transportation to travel to places far away,
such as other cities or countries.
Planes help people travel long
distances to connect with other
people in the global community.
