LESSON 5_ SPEAKING DISCUSSION _ TRANSPORTATION

1. How do you go to school or work at the moment?

Answer: On a regular basis, I usually ride my motorbike to go to work because it’s so far from
my house. It takes me around 30 minutes to get to work. Moreover, it will take me longer if I
get stuck in traffic.

2. How often do you take buses?

Answer: Nearly everyday. Because my house is so far away from my institution, it’s impossible
for me to travel by motorbike. Additionally, there is constant traffic, particularly during rush
hours, and the air is significantly contaminated by exhaust fumes. So, in order to save time,
money, and to contribute less to pollution, I’d rather take the bus.

3. Would you ride bikes to work in the future?

Answer: It’s difficult to forecast whether public transportation will be used more in the future
based on how it is currently used. But to be completely honest, I wish more people would
use metro transit. Public transportation, in my opinion, is the only method to stop global
warming and environmental damage since the Earth is warming and getting more and
more uninhabitable.

4. When you were young, did you ever take transportation?

It’s really hard for me to remember vividly because it happened long time ago. Well, if I’m not
mistaken, I took a bus to the fair market with my friends because we were too young to ride
motorbikes at the time and more importantly, it was also hard for us to navigate through the way
to there, and I think this was the first time I had taken public transport.
