初中英语作文范文：如何在北京乘坐地铁

英语自学网

　　The sbuway is the cheapest and fastest means of transportation in
Beijing.It costs you much less than a taxi or even a bus and takes you only half
of the time if you travel by other means.Therefore,if you are visiting
Beijing,the local people will certainly recommend you to ride the subway
wherever it is available.The first ride,however,may present you with some
problems.This is how to go about it.
        　　To begin with,having found the nearest subway entrance,you go down the
stairs until you get to the ticket office.There,you buy a ticket,which costs 50
cents.Then,after passing through the ticket-collector,you walk down more stairs
and get onto the platform.Make sure that you are on the right side of the
platform for your train.While waiting for the train,you should stand behind the
white line so as not to be hurt by the approaching train.Remember smoking is
forbiden in a subway station.When your train has arrived,walk in quickly but do
not push.Once inside it ,you find a seat.If there are no seats left,you should
hold on to the horizantal poles as you do in a bus.For information of your
destination,you may consult the map on the wall or listen for the announcement
over the loud-speaker.On arriving at your stop,you step out of the train quickly
and walk up the steps into the outside world.Then you have completed your first
experience of riding a subway.
        　　Strangers in Beijing may find they are at a loss when they travel by subway
for the first time.But,once a bread-through is made,the second ride will be much
easier.
