Sample Answers
How often do you go to work/school? I commute to school pretty regularly, about three to four times a week. I try to balance my time between attending lectures and working on projects, so I'm usually on campus a few days a week.
What is the most popular method of transportation where you live? In my city, I'd say the most popular method of transportation is definitely driving. Everyone's got a car, and the roads are pretty well-maintained, so it's just easier to get around that way. Plus, parking's not too bad, so it's a convenient option.
How far is it from your home to your workplace/school? It's about a 20-minute drive from my place to school, depending on traffic. I'm pretty lucky, though - I've got a few friends who live nearby, so we often carpool or grab the bus together.
Do you think people will drive more in the future? Honestly, I don't think so. With all the concerns about climate change and sustainability, I think people are gonna start looking for alternative modes of transportation. Plus, a lot of cities are investing in public transit systems, so I think we'll see a shift towards more eco-friendly options.
