Hi, I’m Nina, I’m a businesswoman. I take a ship from the island to the city every day. The ship leaves every 20 minutes and it takes about 35 minutes to get to the city. Then I have a short walk to my office. There’s another ship on the the other side of the island and it is faster. It takes only 15 minutes , but I have to walk a long way. So I usually take the first ship.

Hello, I’m maria and I’m a college student. I live on campus(校园). The campus is quite big, and sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get from one building to the next.

Minibuses come frequently(频繁地) and are a little more expensive.
