Question

【题目】Sometimes the easiest way to get somewhere is on the back of a bike.

More and more people are using cars in many places in Africa today. However, things are different in Malawi(马拉维). Bikes are the most popular in this African country.

Bike riding is a way of life in Malawi. People use them to carry(搬运) heavy things. They also use bikes to carry people, especially visitors. These years, taking a “ bike taxi” to go around Malawi has become quite popular for visitors from all over the world.
