How are you? Thank you for your last e-mail. I know how you get to school. Now let me tell you how I get to school. I live far from my school. My school is about ten kilometers from my home. I usually leave home at half past seven. First, I walk to the subway station. Then I take the subway to school. It usually takes me about half an hour to get to school. I usually meets many friends . So my trip is interesting, too.
