Well, now this transport most important thing is in our life, then there is no exception for me also. And I use a private or just public transport every day when I was going to somewhere. And also there was one moment, it’s we have very important meeting in our company. And that’s why I went to sleep in my home, actually meeting started at 11 o’clock and I was slept about until 12 o’clock. And then I realized my manager called me so many times, I just asked for him, I just sorry about that, I came in the way. But I need to go in this place quickly, but then I just reserve a taxi called a taxi to go into my workplace. But in the middle of the road there was a problem, but I need to quickly just go into my workplaces. There’s problem about this, I think it’s more mostly serious situation because most places it’s overcome heated, but taxi driver says he just needed to just check the car heated. But he thinks about this serious problem, that’s why we just called people who in this field just help us, just like mechanics. And then after it’s just took more than an hour to fix it and actually I was so late and my manager just call me several times and it was so bad for me. But at least I told about the situation after the car repair, I went to my workplace, I explained the situation and gave me my story about that. And he just very kind and warm person and he just accept my apology. And then it’s everything going started, but it was a memorable and risky accident for me.

Well, now this transport is the most important thing in our life, and there is no exception for me either. I use private or public transport every day when I go somewhere. There was one moment when we had a very important meeting in our company. That's why I went to sleep at home. The meeting started at 11 o'clock, and I slept until about 12 o'clock. Then I realized my manager had called me many times. I just apologized to him, saying I was on my way. I needed to get to the meeting quickly, so I reserved a taxi to go to my workplace. However, in the middle of the road, there was a problem. I needed to get to my workplace quickly. This was a serious situation because most places were overheated, but the taxi driver said he needed to check the car's heating. He thought it was a serious problem, so we called someone in the field to help us, like a mechanic. It took more than an hour to fix it, and I was so late. My manager called me several times, and it was very stressful for me. At least I explained the situation after the car was repaired. I went to my workplace and shared my story. My manager was very kind and warm, and he accepted my apology. Everything started to go well after that, but it was a memorable and risky incident for me.
