It was a year ago when I had an appointment and I woke up and I realized that I am late for the train and I decided to go there by taxi, which was about one hour distance from my house to this place. It was my first training for my English and it was my first training lesson for my English and I did not want to be late from the first lesson to be shown as an irresponsible student. So I decided to go with taxi but work didn’t work well and I really stuck in traffic jam. It was really great traffic as where I see there was cars that don’t move and many cars were waiting for moving. I did this training three times a week and it was the first session. I disliked it at the end. I arrived there at two hours, which was twice the original time. Generally I disliked it as I experienced the station which I tried to avoid.

It was a year ago when I had an appointment. I woke up and realized that I was late for the train, so I decided to go there by taxi, which was about an hour's distance from my house to this place. It was my first training lesson for my English, and I did not want to be late for the first lesson and be seen as an irresponsible student. So I decided to take a taxi, but it didn't work out well, and I got really stuck in a traffic jam. It was a terrible traffic situation, as I saw cars that weren't moving, and many cars were waiting to move. I did this training three times a week, and it was the first session. I disliked it in the end because I arrived there in two hours, which was twice the original time. Generally, I disliked it as I experienced the situation I tried to avoid.
