the city of New York. In general, buses stop
every two or three blocks in the city. If you
want to reach your destination quickly, riding
a bus is not the best choice. However, buses
run through lots of areas where the subway
does not, and that’s why some people prefer
traveling by bus because they’ll be able to do
some sightseeing.
Riding a bus in any city is pretty much
the same. There’s not much difference when
riding a bus in New York. As soon as you see
the bus coming, raise your arm to inform the
driver that you need to hop on the bus. When
requesting the bus to stop, all you need to
do is simply pull the cord or press the black
band near the window.
Be aware that there are both local and
express buses. An express bus has a sign
on the front window and only stops at certain
stops.

Joyce: Do you usually watch movies at home or at a movie theater?
Allen: I prefer going to the movie theater because of the large screen and the amazing
audio system.
Joyce: Me, too! What’s your favorite type of movie?
Allen: I love comedies. When I’m really stressed or worried about something,
always helps.
Joyce: That’s true. Secret Pet Agent II is this weekend. Do you

There is no better place to see a live show

than on Broadway. However, tickets for a
musical are very expensive. The average cost
of a ticket is around US$100.
Today, I will offer some tips on how to buy
Broadway tickets at a discount.
The off-season is the fall and winter—in
September, October, January and February.
It’s easier to get discount tickets at this time.
Check with the theater’s box office about
discounts available.
Before the box office opens, go to the
theater early and try to get rush tickets. Rush
tickets are a limited number of tickets that
are only sold on the day of the show and on
a first-come, first-serve basis. Other than
that, special rush tickets are available for
students to purchase at the ticket center at
their school. Bring your student ID and some
cash when buying a ticket.

Track 40
When planning a vacation, your budget is
important. Nobody wants to buy too much,
and then run out of money. Here are some
tips when making a budget for your trip.
#1: Do your homework and research
One of the biggest costs during your
vacation is the hotel. There are many different
options, such as bed and breakfasts, motels,
and Airbnb. Use the Internet and take time
reading about each choice before you
decide.
#2: Travel during offseason
If you travel during the low season, you
could save a lot of money. Also, you might
meet more of the local people.
#3: Stay away from “touristy”
restaurants
During your vacation, you have to eat,
so being smart and choosing where to buy
your food is important. Restaurants in tourist
spots are generally more expensive than
those that are not. So, you should carefully
decide where to eat.

#4: Shop at outlet malls
Tourist spots are filled with vendors
selling souvenirs. And, they could
possibly overcharge you. So, you should
go to outlet malls instead. They are a
little out of the way and inconvenient, but
you’ll save money in the long run.
