GETTING AROUND IN Hong Kong

Today we're looking at unusual journeys to school, Twelve-year-old David Wong tells us about his journey to school in Hong Kong.

I live in Mong Kok in Kowloon, Hong Kong. A lot of people live in Mong Kok and everybody uses public transport. In the rush hour, it's very busy. My school's a long way away, on the other side of the city. I travel on all the city's public transport to get to school. I don't take any money because I've got an Octopus Card. It's called the Octopus Card because an octopus has eight legs and eight is a lucky number in China.

Yesterday was a normal school day. I went on foot from my flat to the underground station in Mong Kok. Then I took the ferry across Victoria Harbour. I arrived on the island side, and I took the tram. I like travelling by tram best because you get a great view from the top! Finally, I went on foot up the escalator to my school in the Mid-Levels. Some students go by bus, but the escalator is more fun. The whole journey was only 45 minutes!

FACT! People in Hong Kong make 12 million journeys on public transport every day.

1. Посмотрите на карту и картинки. Как люди добираются на работу и в школу в этом городе? Легко ли это? Прочитайте блог Дэвида и проверьте свои ответы.

Ответ:

People in Hong Kong travel to work and school mainly by public transport, such as buses, trams, ferries, and the underground. They also walk and use long escalators. It seems to be quite efficient and easy. Despite being busy during rush hour, a long journey across the city can take only 45 minutes, and a single payment card (Octopus Card) makes it convenient.

Люди в Гонконге добираются на работу и в школу в основном на общественном транспорте, таком как автобусы, трамваи, паромы и метро. Они также ходят пешком и используют длинные эскалаторы. Похоже, это довольно эффективно и легко. Несмотря на загруженность в час пик, долгая поездка через город может занять всего 45 минут, а единая платежная карта (Octopus Card) делает ее удобной.
