【推荐1】In China, students go to school in many ways. Some students go by bus, some go by bike and some walk to school. Do you know how Japanese (日本的) students get to school? In the city, students usually go to school near their homes. So many students walk to school. It usually takes them 5 to 10 minutes to get to school. But in the village, schools are usually far from students homes. It usually takes them 40 minutes to an hour to walk to school. Many students in the village get to school by train, because it goes quickly and doesn’t need much time.

Many Japanese schools are small. And students don’t often take the school bus. Parents don’t often drive their children to and from school, either.
