Answer 2:
I am an early bird, so I get the chance to prepare for school. My mom makes sure I have a hearty
breakfast before leaving the house. Our apartment is a few blocks from the main road so I need
to walk for a minute or two going to the bus stop. The time interval for each trip is 15 minutes.
The school is only 5 kilometers from here. I do not want getting caught in a traffic jam, so I take
an earlier ride. I do not want sitting in a crowded bus or having the seats at the back portion of
the bus, either. It takes 20 minutes for me to reach the next stop in front of the university.
Points to emphasize in answering:
Begin by mentioning the time of departure from residence.
Tell the starting point and the mode of transport to take.
Mention the distance from the departure area to the point of arrival.
Estimate the amount of time it would take you to go to school from your starting point.
Vocabulary
hearty - nutritious
time interval - definite length of time marked by two spots
