i get around my area by bus because it is the most cost effective way of transport in my place not only that driving a bike or car can be extremely dangerous as our area if notorious for accidents daily so i don t take any risk thanks teachers

@fahimeemadi3398 5 лет назад

hi thanks for your good teaching . I know it is better to use public transport but unfortunately our house is far from stations . so I almost should use my own car. although public transportation like subway or BRT are too crowded and people are nervous in so I prefer not to use them .also I might get stuck in rush hours in traffic . so i always try to change my get around time .i bought second hand car but it doesn't work a lot it has broken down just one time since i have got it.in far distance travel i would rather fly not only do i believe that it is fast but also i enjoy flying. one of my childhood dreams was have a personal plane.:-)))))))

I live in a small city in Vietnam where there are a lot of public transport such as motorbikes, cars, buses,... They help people save time in commuting over long distances and help people be more active in daily life. But they cause many disadvantages such as global warming, environmental pollution and traffic congestion, etc. Therefore, we need to know how to use them properly.

I usually get around our city with my husband and child in our car. When I go somewhere alone I use public transport because I don't have a driving licence. However the system of public transport is not very convenient in our city. It is easy to get to the city centre but you have to wait for an hour for a bus which goes to certain districts. In addition, buses run from the city centre to the place where I live until 10 pm. Before we bought a car we used to take a taxi when we were returning from the theatre. Also there are a lot of traffic jams in our city which can be avoided by taking a different road by car. So I'm going ta study at a driving school and pass my driving test. There are a lot of places where I walk, for example, à supermarket, parks and the seaside. And the school where I work is very close so I can walk in twenty minutes.

Hi, I live in Ho Chi Minh city - the biggest city of Viet Nam. I mostly ride the motorbike. Sometimes I either take a bus or taxi. Riding motorbike has lots of advantages: it's the fastest way to get my destination, and I don't worry too much about parking. But there are also some disadvantages like: there is a lot of noise when I ride and I can get stuck in traffic when having heavy rain.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1 5 лет назад

Hi Tâm, thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I mostly ride a motorbike,' or, 'my motorbike,' not, 'the motorbike'. 2) 'Riding a motorbike has lots of...' not, 'Riding motorbike has lots of...'. 3) '...stuck in traffic when there is heavy rain,' not, 'when having'.

Transport and driving I live in a small city. People usually drive their own cars or use public transportation to get around. There aren't so many options to choose from since my city is not big, but we have motorcycles, buses, and shared taxis. Some people even cycle or walk when the places they have to go aren't too far. As for my family, most of them have cars or motorcycles. My father uses his car, which is a secon-hand one. A particular thing about my father's car is that runs on petrol and gas. I don't have a car yet, but if I have one it would be a Volkswagen Beetle Convertible.

I usually use public transport so I will get the tram or sometimes buses. I really like the public transport in my area b/c it's easily to get for work or Sch. I have a bicycle & I enjoy ridding my bicycle. Sometimes I use to go gym or to college. Where I study is not that far away. My bike helps me keep my body fit. For long distance I use a train or an airplane. I also take the bus to go church but most of the time is the buses came late at the weekend.Therefore, having ur own car is more better inorder to save ur time & reach ur destination on time. Thanks alot in advance! I enjoyed Ur lecture! Your lessons are considerable & useful as usual. let me know if my writing has any mistakes. Best wishes, Fache!

thank you very much for helpful lessons. Here is my answer for your question : I have lived in a big city so I mostly take a bus to go to wherever I want.In every morning, I walk to Ben thanh bus stop and take number 15. It takes me 45 minutes to go school. When I go by bus, I will be not worried to be stuck in traffic and the weather doesn't bother me too.Second, bus is cheaper than any means of transport. Futhermore,using bus is more environmentally- friendly. When I'm in the bus I have time to read books and admire the view from the window.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1 4 года назад

Thank you for telling us about transport and driving for you. Here are some corrections for you: 1) You can simply say, 'I live in a big city', not, 'I have lived'. 2) 'Every morning,' not, 'In every morning'. 3) '...minutes to get to school,' not, '...minutes to go school'. Hope this helps you!
