【E33】level4 -5 Traffic" and "transportation

Yes, when you're in the study habit, even a short break can feel big! So today we're going to start a new class... So today we're going to talk about "traffic" and "transportation" Compound nouns... It's a noun that's made of 2 or more words Let's try making some compound nouns With the words we have here Take a word from "A" and a word from "B" and making a new word For example: subway + station = subway station So bicycle ... we have: bicycle lane, bicycle stand Bicycle Stand Bus lane? Maybe there are some "bus garages" ... but they're not very common Do the streets in your city have a bus lane? What's the difference between a bus stop and a bus station? "Normal cars can't use the bus lanes in my city, or else they'll fine you or take points from your license." "fine" is 罚款 Bus stop is small Bus station is bigger. So far we have Bicycle lane, Bicycle stand Bus lane, Bus station, Bus stop, Bus system News News what? I think News Stand is the only on here Parking! Parking 有很多 Oh... not too many Parking space is also correct Parking system 可以说的 ... but not used often Parking station, also maybe in some situations it's OK, but not very common. Parking Garages are like that Parking space or "Parking spot" is like that. That's in the city Most people have a "parking garage" at their home too That looks like that Street light is very commonly used I think that's the only one for "street" How about Subway? Definitely you can Here we have Subway station, subway stop, subway system... Subway station and subway stop, are quite similar Taxi! Usually we say "Taxi stand" How about Traffic? Traffic .... Traffic jam, Traffic system... And the last one! Train ... Train is similar to subway Train station and stop Train system Are there bicycle lanes in your city? Yes, there are.
