How do students around the world get to school?
In North America,most students go to school on the school bus.Some students also walk or ride bikes to school.In other parts of the world,things are different.In japan,most students take trains to school,although others also walk or ride their bikes.In China,it depends on where you are.In big cities,students usualy ride bikes to school or take buses.And in places where there are ribers and lakes,like Hongshanhu and Kaishandao,students usually go to school by boat.That must be a lot more fun than taking a bus!
