Describe a common vehicle in your city that you often use. v. 1
Describe a common vehicle in your city that you often use. You should say: What it is How often you use it How much it cost to travel in it And explain why you often use it. Model Answer 1: Underpass train is a common vehicle type in my city and I often use this transportation system. Though bus is the most common transportation system in my city, there are so many people who use the underpass trains to reach to their schools and workplaces. I use the trains almost 5-8 times a week to reach my workplace/ university. While returning home, I take the taxi as train schedule in the evening contradicts my schedule. The train is much cheaper than the public bus or taxi in my city. Since I do not own a car I need to rely on the public transportation systems and the train costs only a few dollars per week. Someone can have a train pass for the whole month only for 50 dollars and this would allow him/her to travel any places within the city as many time as he/she needed. The train station is in walking distance from my living place and that’s the primary reason I prefer this transportation to reach my university/ workplace. I do not have to wait for a long and usually I can get a moderate seat in it. There is no traffic jam to kill my time on the road and that’s another important reason for my preference for this train transportation system. Finally, I can save a great deal of money using the train over the taxi or other types of transportation systems. Because all of these facilities and advantages I often use this transportation system.       Sample Answer 2: Rickshaw (a three-wheeler vehicle, driven by a rickshaw puller) is a common vehicle in my city. The majority of the people use this vehicle to move to different places. They use this vehicle mostly to reach short distances. I am glad to have this special cue card for me and now will explain the matter in brief. I need to use this vehicle frequently. In fact, I am a college student and need to move for my college every morning. My college is not far away from my residence. So, I need to ride on a rickshaw to reach my college. Besides, I also take rides on this vehicle when I need to move inside the city and cannot manage to ride on public transports. Besides, the rickshaw is considered an environment-friendly transport as it does not emit any fumes. The cost of riding a hiring a rickshaw is moderate. The rent varies based on the distances. But the cost is more if I consider it with the fare of public transports. Usually, it takes around rupees 15/20 to reach a distance like about one or half a kilometre. But when it is long distance, the passenger needs to negotiate with the rickshaw puller. In most of the cases, they demand a higher fare than the usual if not negotiated. I use this vehicle often for some reasons. The most important thing about riding a rickshaw is it helps to sit comfortably and independently. Riding on public transports is really a troublesome matter. The number of seats is limited but the buses are overcrowded. Hence, it is inconvenient for females like me to struggle in the morning rush to grab a seat amid hundreds of other people. Moreover, riding a rickshaw also helps to reach the destination in due time as it directly starts for the destination after being hired. So, I often use rickshaw.

Sample Answer
2: Rickshaw
(a three-wheeler
vehicle
, driven by a
rickshaw
puller) is a
common
vehicle
in my city. The majority of the
people
use
this
vehicle
to
move
to
different
places. They
use
this
vehicle
mostly
to
reach
short
distances
. I am glad to have this special cue card for me and
now
will
explain
the matter
in brief
.

I
need
to
use
this
vehicle
frequently
. In fact, I am a college student and
need
to
move
for my college every morning. My college is not far away from my residence.
So
, I
need
to ride on a
rickshaw
to
reach
my college.
Besides
, I
also
take rides on this
vehicle
when I
need
to
move
inside the city and cannot manage to ride on
public
transports
.
Besides
, the
rickshaw
is considered
an environment-friendly
transport
as it does not emit any fumes.

The
cost
of
riding
a hiring a
rickshaw
is moderate. The rent varies based on the
distances
.
But
the
cost
is more if I consider it with the fare of
public
transports
.
Usually
, it takes around rupees 15/20 to
reach
a
distance
like about one or half a
kilometre
.
But
when it is long
distance
, the passenger
needs
to negotiate with the
rickshaw
puller. In most of the cases, they demand a higher fare than the usual if not negotiated.

I
use
this
vehicle
often
for
some
reasons. The most
important
thing about
riding
a
rickshaw
is it
helps
to sit
comfortably
and
independently
.
Riding
on
public
transports
is
really
a troublesome matter. The number of seats
is limited
but
the buses
are overcrowded
.
Hence
, it is inconvenient for females like me to struggle in the morning rush to grab a seat amid hundreds of other
people
.
Moreover
,
riding
a
rickshaw
also
helps
to
reach
the destination in due
time
as it
directly
starts
for the destination after
being hired
.
So
, I
often
use
rickshaw
.
