Question

【題目】In North America, most students go to school by school bus. The underground is also widely used in some cities. In small towns, walking is still popular.

The yellow school bus can be seen all over North America. It is a very convenient(便利的)form of transportation(交通) because it takes students right to the gate of the school. It also gives students a chance to chat with their friends. However, the bus is slow and does not always come on time.

The underground runs fast in cities. However, it is expensive and can be very crowded(擁擠的) during rush hour. Another disadvantage(缺點) of the underground is that the stops are not so close to the school, and students often have to walk a long way or take a bus from the underground stop to the school.

Walking has a number of advantages for those who live close to school. It's free and it provides a form of exercise. However, it's no fun if you have a large schoolbag full of books to carry. It's also unpleasant if the weather is either too hot or cold or wet.
