Ответ от учителя
During our discussion, my partner and I talked about our experiences with traveling on the underground. We found that we both use it quite frequently, at least a few times a week.
When discussing the advantages of the underground, we noted that it is often faster than other forms of transportation, especially during rush hour when traffic can be heavy. It is also relatively affordable, especially compared to taking a taxi or driving a car. Additionally, the underground can be convenient for those who live in areas without easy access to other forms of transportation.
However, we also discussed some disadvantages of the underground. One major issue is overcrowding, especially during peak hours. This can make the experience uncomfortable and even unsafe at times. Additionally, delays and service disruptions can be frustrating, especially when trying to get to work or an important appointment.
Overall, we both agreed that we generally like traveling on the underground. Despite its drawbacks, it is often the most efficient and convenient way to get around the city. However, we both agreed that improvements could be made to make the experience more comfortable and reliable, such as increasing the frequency of trains and reducing overcrowding.
