翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Recently there are more cars on the road in the morning. Do you know why?
Huahua: Because school has started! Parents have to send their children to school, so there is more traffic.
Qingqing: No wonder there’s heavy traffic during rush hours again.
Huahua: You should find a way to avoid going out during that time.
Qingqing: I think I’ll take the MRT instead. Although there’s a bus stop right downstairs from my apartment, taking the bus often makes me late, so I’ll go a bit further to catch the MRT.
Huahua: That’s a good idea. You can do it!
