يَقُولُ يُوسُفُ: أَذْهَبُ إِلَى المَدْرَسَةِ بِالحَافِلَةِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، وَتَسْتَغْرِقُ الرِّحْلَةُ عِشْرِينَ دَقِيقَةً. فِي عُطْلَةِ نِهَايَةِ الأُسْبُوعِ أَرْكَبُ دَرَّاجَتِي إِلَى الحَدِيقَةِ لِأَنَّهَا مُفِيدَةٌ لِلصِّحَّةِ وَلَا تُلَوِّثُ البِيئَةَ. أَمَّا فِي الأَسْفَارِ البَعِيدَةِ فَنَسْتَخْدِمُ القِطَارَ.

Paper 2 — Reading

المُوَاصَلَاتُ العَامَّةُ مُهِمَّةٌ فِي المُدُنِ الكَبِيرَةِ. الحَافِلَاتُ وَالقِطَارَاتُ تَنْقُلُ آلَافَ النَّاسِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، وَهِيَ أَرْخَصُ مِنَ السَّيَّارَةِ الخَاصَّةِ. كَمَا أَنَّهَا تُقَلِّلُ الازْدِحَامَ وَتَحْمِي البِيئَةَ. لِذَلِكَ يُفَضِّلُ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ اسْتِخْدَامَهَا.
