Answer 2:
My house is just near my school. I walk five blocks to the right from my house. Then, I turn to the
left. I walk along the road and stop by the bookstore. From there, I wait for the bus to arrive. The
bus ride only takes five minutes. I ride the bus when I am rushing in the morning. Sometimes, I
use my bike to get to school. It takes about 20 minutes. My schoolmate also rides a bike to school.
