Band 6.5

Prompt: How often do you use public transport?

Examiner Grace: Hello there! How often do you use public transport?

You: So I usually use public transport every day because I take the subway to go to school, but I don't think I use any other public transport. Instead of the subway. Examiner Grace: Ah, the daily grind! And what do you like about it?

You: Um I don't really like taking the subway, but I would say that one of the main advantages is that it's really fast and you don't have to wait for the traffic to get better. Examiner Grace: Avoiding gridlock is definitely a win! Is there anything that you would change about it?

You: Um I don't think I would personally change anything about it because usually the traffic in the subway is already really fluid. Examiner Grace: Wow, that sounds surprisingly smooth! What about using buses or trams?
