Another current part 2 topic with example answer.
As I commute into the city for work every day, I always do my best to avoid the rush hour traffic, which is not always easy. I usually get up at 6 am and catch the bus at 6.30 to beat the heavy traffic, and go for a relaxing coffee before starting work. 

 However, about 2 weeks ago, I slept in on a monday morning and didn’t wake up until 8am,missing the early bus, and not catching the next one until 8.30, which i knew would mean being late for work due to the traffic.

Normally the bus ride into the city centre takes about 45 minutes, but because of taking the bus during the peak rush hour it now took almost 2 hours. The traffic was unbelievable, and cars were bumper to bumper, moving at a snail’s pace, for the entire journey.

What made it even worse was that the bus was full, and passengers were packed like sardines , which also meant I had to stand for the full journey. To try and pass the time, I just read the  news using my mobile phone, as well as messaging my boss to let him know I would be late for work due to the heavy traffic.

I’m not the  most patient person and being stuck in a traffic jam like this is something I really hate, and always something I try to avoid. I also take pride in always being on time for work, and felt absolutely terrible  to be over an hour late on this day. I now set 2 alarms every night to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

저번 달에 쇼핑을 너무 많이 했나 봐, 돈이 없어.
上个月我好像买的太多了, 没钱了。

나도 그래. 월급 받은 지 2주도 안 되었는데, 
카드값 내고 나니, 벌써 잔액이 얼마 안 남았어. 
我也是。领工资还不到两周, 
现在还完信用卡,  余额已经所剩无几了。 

부모님께 용돈 탔을 때가 제일 좋았던 것 같다. 
还是跟父母领零花钱的时候最好。 

그러게, 나도 그때가 그립다. 
那倒是, 我也很怀念那个时候。
