In China, most students go to school by bike or by bus. If the school is not far, they usually walk to school every day. Few students are late for class. But things are different in other countries.

In many Western countries, students live far from their schools and they have different ways to get to school. Many students go to school by car. If there is an underground system(系统) in the city, they can go by underground(地铁). In some countries, there are double-deckers. The double-decker has two floors and it can carry more people. So some students can take a double-decker to school. Scooters(踏板车) are popular with students in some Western countries. If you don't need to take a bus to school, you can go by scooter. It makes your trip more interesting and exciting. In some cold countries, such as Finland and Iceland, it often snows. The students in towns may take a bus, but the students in villages far from the school have to go by sledge(雪橇) because there is snow everywhere. It takes a little longer. Sometimes, the students may be late for school. If it snows heavily, the students have to teach themselves at home.
