A Big Transfer Day in the City

Today I had many things to do, so I went out early. First I went from home to the post office to mail something, then from the post office to the hospital to see a friend. After my friend was hospitalized, he wasn’t in a very good mood, so I wanted to bring him some fruit. I know the route to the post office well, but I don’t often go from the post office to the hospital. I stood at the entrance and looked at the map and found I needed to take a bus to East Gate first, then transfer to the subway to People’s Square, and then transfer again to another line near the hospital.

When I got to the bus stop, the sign said there were ten stops in total. After I got on, I kept listening to the announcements and watched the intersections and traffic lights outside, afraid of missing my stop. When we reached the fifth stop, the bus suddenly stopped for a long time, and the driver said there was a traffic jam ahead. I felt a bit nervous and worried about being late, so I asked someone next to me, “Excuse me, how many stops are left from here to East Gate?” That person said, “About three stops left. You can also get off at the next stop, walk to the subway station, and the subway will be faster.”

I thought about it and decided to get off at the next stop. After getting off, I crossed the street first, then walked to the right and saw a subway entrance. I entered, bought a ticket, found the direction, and took Line 2 to People’s Square. There were many people on the subway, but I told myself not to rush. At every stop I checked the station name and listened to the announcement of the next stop. At People’s Square, I needed to transfer, but there were so many paths that I almost got lost again.

I saw a staff member and asked, “Excuse me, how do I transfer to the hospital side?” The staff member said, “Walk straight first, turn left at the first intersection, then go downstairs. After you see the sign for ‘Line 3,’ turn right and you’ll arrive.” I followed what he said and finally found Line 3. After I got on, I noticed the car was very quiet and everyone was looking at their phones. I slowly relaxed and felt I was getting better and better at taking transport.

Near the hospital, I got off and walked out of the subway station. It was lively outside, but where was the hospital? I wasn’t sure again. I saw a big gate with “hospital” written on it, but I didn’t know if it was the one I needed. Then I saw an auntie and said, “Excuse me, how do I get from here to First Hospital?” She smiled and said, “You’ve already arrived! This gate is First Hospital. After you go in, walk forward. Turn right at the second intersection, and you’ll see the inpatient building.”

After listening, I was very happy and went in quickly. When I saw my friend, he smiled too. We chatted for a while, and I gave him the fruit. He said thank you. On the way home, I realized I had been transferring and asking directions from morning to night, but I wasn’t afraid at all anymore. As long as you practice more, going out in the city really becomes more and more convenient.
