How to survice public transport

People always complain about the weather, about money and about public transport. Sometimes they're right and something they just need something to complain about. I always think: imagine a world without public transport, then there is no possibility for most students to go to school..

There are many trains, busses and metros in Holland. If you're an student over 18 or if you go to university then you can travel for free. The Dutch government give this students an OV-chip cart. So that's a big plus for us. Secondly, because you have to travel by train or bus all the time, you have the opportunity to make homework during travelling. That means that when you're home you have plenty of time to do other things, nice things. At last, maybe the train do have delay sometimes, well recently there have been lots of delays (because of the snow) but you have to imagine that if you're travelling with a car than you have all those files you have to wait for.

So overall, we - students - can't live without our free, possibility to make homework and quick public transport.

  1. tip: in the first sentence you repeat 'about' several times. That's not required because it's a summary.
    tip: it's a student and not an student.
    tip: i'm not sure the construction 'do have' is correct.

    top: after reading the first alinea I was curious about the rest of the blog.

    Good subject for foreign students

    Many, many mistakes in English! You should reread your work after writing, study your grammar and you should not translate literally from Dutch. You should use a dictionary !

    "metros" is not an English word
    "an student" = "a student" (we discussed this last week!)
    a "cart" is a "kar" in Dutch, you mean: "card" (use a dictionary!)
    "the train do have delay ": "train" is "it" so gets an -s (the train does). We discussed this in class in lesson 1 !

    YOU SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB NEXT TIME.
