Sample Answer

How do you travel to work or school?

I usually commute for school/work by bus. It takes me half an hour in the morning but almost an hour in the evening because of the busy traffic. It was a little exhausting travelling by bus so long everyday but I’ve gotten used to it now, so it’s OK.

Will you change the way you travel to school?

No I don’t think so. I haven’t thought about changing my commute method by now, because taking a bus seems like the only practical option that I have in recent years. My school is a little far from where I live and it’s too pricy taking a taxi on a daily basis. Plus, I haven’t got a driver’s license yet.

How did you go to school when you were a child?

When I was young, my dad used to drive me to school by his motorcycle. I still remember it like it was yesterday; I always sat on the back of his bike. I really liked going to school on a motorcycle back then because I thought it was pretty cool

What do you like to do during your commute to school?                             

I honestly just like listening to music. It’s not the most productive thing, but it really helps me blow off steam. When I’m on my way to school, I already feel stressed thinking about all the stuff I have to do. So listening to music just sets my mind at ease.

Do you like bike-share programs?                             

I think bike-share programs are a great idea. But I actually don’t take advantage of them too much. I generally use public transportation, like buses and subways. But if I had to bike somewhere, I would definitely use a shared bike It’s helpful for the environment Plus, biking is really fun.

When was latest time you took a taxi?

Well, if memory serves correctly, the last time I took a taxi was about half year ago when I tried to catch a train. At the time, I was running late for check-in, so I had to take a cab. And I remember I even tipped the driver 10 bucks for asking him to drive faster to the train station.

Is the traffic in your city bad?

Honestly, it depends on the time of day. During rush hour, the roads can get pretty backed up with traffic. Sometimes it can take you hours just to drive a couple blocks. But if it’s in the afternoon or on the weekends, it’s not as bad. You just have to be strategic about when you drive.

Can you drive?

Yes, I can drive! I’ve been driving ever since I was old enough to get my license. At first, driving really stressed me out, especially when it got busy on the roads. But now that I’ve been driving for a while, it doesn’t stress me out at all. Bad drivers get on my nerves though.

No, I can’t drive. Most people my age just take public transportation to get around. Honestly, the thought of driving really stresses me out. I think I’d get on other drivers’ nerves because I would be driving too slowly. I’d rather just take a bus or a subway, or get a ride from my friends.
