介绍:
In episode four,
we heard how Lucy got ready for work, did her hair and got dressed. In this
episode, we're going to follow her to work while she takes public transportation.
Let's get started.
[Start of story]
I like my job but it takes over an hour to get there from my part of town. First, I
walk three blocks to the subway station and swipe my monthly pass to get
through the turnstile. I wait on the platform for the first express train. I get on
and since it’s so crowded during the morning hours, there aren’t any seats and I
stand, holding onto a handrail. At my stop, I get off and transfer to a second train
that will get me to Union Station. This one isn’t as crowded and I manage to find
a seat.
When the train gets to Union Station, I get off the train, go up the stairs, and go
out of the front exit to the bus stop. I get on the B bus to downtown and show my
bus pass to the bus driver. I sit down near the front of the bus and when three
more people get on board, the driver starts on the route. When we get close to
my stop, I press the button to signal to the driver that I need to get off and the
bus pulls up to the next stop. I get off and walk half a block to the building where
I work. It’s a long commute, but I look around every morning and I see that I’m
not the only one who has to do it.
