🚇 Transcription — How do you travel to work?
Three speakers: Chris, Anna, David.
Hi, I’m Chris. I live in the suburbs, so I travel to work every day. On weekdays I usually take the train. I leave home at about 7:20, walk to the station, and catch the 7:40 train. The ride takes around 30 minutes. I like the train because it’s predictable, and I don’t have to sit in traffic. I often listen to a podcast or read the news on my phone. Sometimes there are delays, especially in winter, and that can be stressful. On those days I try to stay calm and use the time to plan my tasks for the day. I don’t drive to work often because parking is expensive in the city center. But if I have an early meeting, I might take a taxi or ask a colleague for a lift. Overall, the train works best for me. It saves time, and it makes my mornings easier.
Hi, I’m Anna. My job is in the city center, but I live not too far away. Most days I travel to work by bus. I walk to the bus stop near my apartment, and I usually wait about five or ten minutes. The bus ride takes around 20 minutes, depending on traffic. I like taking the bus because it’s cheap and simple. I can sit, look out of the window, and relax before work. In the summer I sometimes walk to work. It takes about 35 minutes, but I enjoy it because I get fresh air and a bit of exercise. The only problem is bad weather. When it rains, the streets are crowded and the bus is often full. On those days I leave home earlier and bring an umbrella. For me, the bus is the best option most of the year, and walking is my nice “extra” when the weather is good.
Hello, I’m David. My office is on the other side of town, so my daily journey is a mix of transport. First, I take the metro, and then I walk. I leave home at 8:00, and I’m usually at my desk by 8:45. The metro ride is fast—about 15 minutes—but the station can be very busy in the morning. I try to avoid the busiest time, so I don’t feel rushed. Sometimes I ride a bike to work, especially in spring and early autumn. It takes about 25 minutes, and it’s a good way to stay active. The downside is that I arrive sweaty if it’s hot, and I need a safe place to lock my bike. I don’t drive because traffic is heavy, and I don’t want to waste time looking for parking. Using the metro and walking is reliable, and it helps me start the day with more energy.
