In this episode we are going to learn 【Transportation 】in Chinese. -------------------------------------------------- As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content. 2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it. 4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text. -------------------------------------------------- 中国的交通很方便。 zhōng guó de jiāo tōng hěn fāng biàn 。 The transportation in China is very convenient. 去上班可以坐地铁、坐公车、打车或者自己开车。 qù shàng bān kě yǐ zuò dì tiě 、 zuò gōng chē 、 dǎ chē huò zhě zì jǐ kāi chē 。 To get to work, you can take the subway, bus, taxi or drive yourself. 家离公司近的人可以走路去上班。 jiā lí gōng sī jìn de rén kě yǐ zǒu lù qù shàng bān 。 People who live close to the company can walk to work. 但是大城市人很多，堵车很厉害。 dàn shì dà chéng shì rén hěn duō ， dǔ chē hěn lì hài 。 But there are many people in big cities, and traffic jams are severe. 如果你赶时间，坐地铁最好。 rú guǒ nǐ gǎn shí jiān ， zuò dì tiě zuì hǎo 。 If you're in a hurry, it's best to take the subway. 因为地铁不会塞车，很准时。 yīn wèi dì tiě bú huì sāi chē ， hěn zhǔn shí 。 Because the subway does not have traffic jams, it is very punctual. 以前坐地铁用地铁卡，现在用手机就可以了。 yǐ qián zuò dì tiě yòng dì tiě kǎ ， xiàn zài yòng shǒu jī jiù kě yǐ le 。 Before we used subway card to take the subway, now using mobile phone is enough.
