In North America, most students usually go to school by school bus or subway. In small towns and cities, walking is still popular. The yellow school bus is very convenient (便利的) because it takes students right to the entrance (入口) to the school. Students can also talk with their friends on it. But the bus is slow and is not always on time. The subway runs quickly. However, it is expensive and can be very crowded sometimes. And the stops may be far away from the school, so students often have to walk or take a bus from the subway stop to the school. Walking is good exercise for those who live close to school. But it’s no fun if you have a large backpack full of books to carry. It’s also unpleasant if (如果) the weather is either too hot or cold or wet.
