[00:16.64]1. Well, I usually start work

[00:19.99]at about six in the morning.

[00:21.90]I don't usually do long distances-

[00:24.49]the furthest I drive is about a hundred miles.

[00:27.31]It's very stressful, know what I mean?

[00:29.12]Driving all day.

[00:30.61]And the traffic's really bad nowadays,

[00:32.60]much worse than when I started.

[00:34.87]Traffic jams everywhere...

[00:38.30]2. Look at them!

[00:40.82]Cars parked everywhere.

[00:42.67]And crossing the road is really dangerous.

[00:45.57]People drive so fast.

[00:47.61]I was going across the road the other day

[00:49.54]with my grandson,

[00:50.95]and suddenly this big lorry came along

[00:53.25]and nearly hit us.And the pollution,

[00:56.24]it's really terrible these days...

[01:00.69]3.People say I'm mad,

[01:03.52]'cos I always ride to school.

[01:05.76]I love it and actually it's much quicker

[01:07.69]than the bus or even a car

[01:09.82]because the traffic's so bad these days.

[01:12.38]And it keeps me fit, doesn't it?

[01:16.34]4. I know I use it too much,

[01:19.08]but public transport is terrible where I live.

[01:22.02]We live out of town, you know,

[01:23.93]and I need the car to go shopping,

[01:25.80]to go to work, to take the kids to school.
