Useful Language
Covers many areas, making travel easy between different places.
“The transport system is well-connected, so you can easily travel across the city.”
Always on time.
“Trains here are very punctual; they rarely run late.”
Not too expensive.
“Public transport is affordable, making it accessible for everyone.”
Using new technology or updated features.
“The transport system is very modern, with digital screens and contactless payment.”
Too many people, making it uncomfortable.
“The metro is always crowded during rush hour.”
Not well taken care of; often broken or in bad condition.
“Some buses are poorly maintained, with broken seats and dirty floors.”
Not consistent; often late or not functioning properly.
“The bus service is quite unreliable; sometimes it doesn’t show up at all.”
What public transport facilities are there in your city?
Well, we’ve got a bus system – although it tends be quite slow and crowded. There’s also a tram line. The trams are modern and comfortable, but they only really go from the city centre to the airport. Finally, there are trains, but these are used more for long journeys rather than inner-city travel.

In my city, we’ve got a tramway and buses that are usually punctual, but don’t connect to a lot of areas, and we’ve got trains as well although they’re not reliable as there are always some problems with them. The good thing is that we’ve got all 3 options depending on what we need, and wheter we’re in a rush or not.

Great response! Just a few corrections:
1. “wheter” should be “whether”
2. “3” should be written as “three”
Overall, well done!
In my city Odessa, the transport system is well-connected so that I can travel easily all around the city. Also this is tram station nearby my home so it takes 5 minutes to walk to this tram station. What I really like trains is that they are quiet comfortable and speedy so it is enjoyable to take a tram and go to a city centre. Even yesterday I took a tram and went to the beach.

Overall, your response is good. Just a few minor corrections:
– “quiet” should be “quite” to describe the level of comfort.
– Instead of saying “Even yesterday,” it would sound more natural to say “Just yesterday.”
– The phrase “go to a city centre” should be “go to the city center” with the article “the” before city.
Great job! Keep up the good work!
There are very good transport system in my city Odessa because we are having bus and tram stops nearby so it is easily to take a bus and go everywhere. However, in my opinion, tram are more convenient than buses because they are speedy and large so that trams are really popular here in my city among locals who use them.

Overall, your answer is quite good! Just a few corrections:
– “transport systems” rather than “transport system”
– “making it easy” instead of “so it is easily”
– “anywhere” instead of “everywhere”
– “trams are more convenient” instead of “tram are more convenient”
– “so that trams are really popular” — this part is a bit confusing. You can rephrase it to “trams are really popular” or “which is why trams are really popular”.
Keep up the great work!
