New York city is a very large city with 8 million people．How do so many people move about New York on their way to work and school？

In New York you can travel about the city by subway，bus，taxi and private（私人的） car．The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city．It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city．Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city．

The second way to travel about the city is by public bus．It is a slower way to travel． This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy．

You can also travel around the city by taxi．This is very expensive，but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to．If traffic is heavy，the taxi will be slow．During the mornings and afternoons，there is the“rush hour”．This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work．

The last way to get around New York city is using your own private car．It is inconvenient（不方便）since you will perhaps be driving in the“rush hour”．If there is an accident on the road，you will have to wait in traffic for a long time．

The best time to travel around the city is from 9A．M ．to 4P．M ．This is the time after the morning rush hour and before the evening rush hour．Traffic will be less crowded during this time since most people are already at school or at work by that time．

Everybody in Britain talks about the weather．It's the most common subject of conversation．“Isn't it a nice day？”“Do you think it will rain？”“I think it's going to be windy．” These are common ways of starting a conversation．

Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like．But they hardly ever agree with each other．One man may say，“Do you see how cloudy it is in the east？It's going to rain tomorrow．”Another man will say，“Yes，it's cloudy in the east．But I think we are going to have fine weather tomorrow．”

People often look for the weather they want．When a farmer needs water，he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain．He won't believe anything else．When some friends have a picnic，they're so sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly that they sit down and eat their lunch while it rains．

Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says．But he doesn't always tell us what we want，and once in a while he makes a mistake．Still，he usually comes closer to being correct than anyone else．
