Story: My Way to School

Every school day, I go to school in the morning. I usually leave the house at half past eight. My school is not far from my home, so I often walk there.

First, I walk along a quiet street near my house. Then I go across the road at the traffic lights. After that, I walk past a small park where many people walk their dogs in the morning.

Sometimes, when the weather is bad, I go to school by bus. The bus stop is near my house, and the ride does not take much time. On the way to school, I think about my lessons and plans for the day.

My way to school is simple, but it helps me start the day calmly and get ready for school.
