1. Tell me about how people get around in your country. Do they drive their own cars or take trains? What are some typical means of transportation to get around?

- People in my country get around in many ways.
- Some people ride their motorbikes to get to work or travel around because it is easy to ride and flexible to move during peak hours.
- Some people drive their cars to get around because it is safer and faster
- Some people prefer to take the bus because there is no parking space in the city center and it is cheap, which helps them save money.

2. What means of transportation do you use to get around? Do you drive your own car or take public transportation?

- I often ride my motorbikes to get to work or travel around because it is easy to ride and flexible to move during peak hours. I use my motorbike to go to work, meet friends.
- It’s very convenient and helps me manage my time better than waiting for a bus.
- It’s also a great way to enjoy the scenery when I drive around the city or the countryside.
- However, when the weather is bad or I feel tired, I prefer taking the bus for more comfort. For long trips, I usually choose trains because they are safe and comfortable.

3. How did you travel when you were a child? Were the types of transportation different back then? Describe for me how people used to get around in your city or town.

- In the past, people got around by bicycle, but now they prefer motorbikes or cars because they are faster and more convenient.
- In the past, there were only a few cars on the road, but now the roads are crowded and there is no parking space in the city center.
- In the past, buses were old and slow, but now they are newer, cleaner, and more comfortable for passengers.
- In the past, my city was small and quiet with few vehicles, but now it is crowded with cars and motorbikes, which makes it noisy.

4. Problems related to transportation often arise. Cars break down, trains run late or traffic could get bad. Tell me about a transportation problem that you once had. What did you do to deal with the situation?

○ Motorbike broke down
- I remember when my motorbike broke down recently.
- It suddenly stopped working, there were too many cars around, and I felt very stressed. I had an important meeting, so I was really worried.
- I called a mechanic, but he took almost an hour to arrive. The repair took another 40 minutes, and I arrived at work late.
- My boss wasn’t happy, but I learned to check my motorbike carefully before leaving home.

○ Stuck in a traffic jam
- I remember when I was late for work because of a traffic jam.
- There were too many cars and motorbikes on the road, and everything moved very slowly. I had an important meeting, so I was really worried.
- I was stuck in a traffic jam for an hour and I couldn’t do anything. In the end, I arrived late, and my boss wasn’t very happy.
- Since that day, I always try to leave home earlier to avoid rush hour.
