| When people go to England, they must learn something about transportation there. In England, cars, buses and bikes must keep to the left side of the street. If a person wishes to cross a street, he must stop and either look at the traffic lights or look both ways down the street. And instead of looking left first, as we do in China, they look right first. To get about in London, visitors should learn to use buses and the underground. First of all they must know which direction (方向) they are going in and which bus and underground train they must take. At the bus stop they wait for buses to come. As soon as they get on the bus, they must pay for their tickets. | |||||||
