It was the last day of school and I planned to travel to my friend’s hometown. I hadn’t seen him for years and this was a good  1  to meet him again.

I was busy at school so it was rather  2  when I came back home. It was already 10 o’clock at night. Time was running out. After a hurried meal I left.  3  I found a taxi very soon. Asking the driver to drive me fast to the station, I relaxed for a while, imagining what my friend looked like now. I was soon at the station and was sure that I would be able to  4  the train. Unfortunately, I fell on the way and lost some time. To my complete  5  , when I reached the platform, I saw that the train had just left! It was the last train so I had to  6  home.

My mother was glad to see me back as she had a feeling about my trip. But I was unhappy. I tried to relax and went to bed but I had a  7  sleep. The next morning I was very tired. As I was having breakfast the  8  arrived. I read over the pages and was shocked to  9  that the train I missed had had an accident. How  10  I was that I missed the train!

New York City is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school?

In New York you can travel by subways, bus, taxi and private (私人的) car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.

The second way to travel is by bus. It is a slower way to travel.

You can also travel by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to every place you want to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work..

The last way is to use your private car. It’s not good to drive during the “rush hour”. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.

The best time to travel is from 9 a.m to 4.pm . Traffic will be less crowded during this time because most people are already at school or at work at that time.

Many taxi drivers in Beijing are in a club called “Ham Radio Community(协会)”. Through the radio of the  1 , they can talk and help each other.
