A PERFECT CLOUDY DAY

Hello everybody,

Even tough today it's cloudy , and it seems it's going to rain , I feel quite good.

The day began in a different way as usual. This morning I got up early, I walked to the tram station, and I catch the tram. Now I suppose you're thinking that a lot of people do the same every morning, but for me it'is special, because I always drive my car to get everywhere.I like the tram, more than the other public transports.

On one hand, most days, the bus in the mornings is so full, that the bus driver decides not to stop at some stations, so you loose this bus, and you have to wait for the following one.Then your are late to work.In the case he decides to open the doors, your problem is to get a seat, or a place where you can hold, not to fall in case the bus driver has to brake the bus.


On the other hand the subway is good too, but I prefer to see the landscape while I'm travelling to some place.


Finally we have the train, that it likes me too, but I prefer to catch it when I have to go to Barcelona's center, because in 5 minutes, I can be there.


To sum up the tram has been the best way to get to work today because in ten minutes I was in SantJust , I could have a seat, I could even read the news.

I'm not sure if I like cloudy days, like you. But I completely agree with you about the best way to move is tram. I'm used to travel by underground, because is the best way for me but I think tram is nicer.

I've read somewhere that the tram is the most popular means of transport in Barcelona. I agree too, it's very pleasant. And Cloudy Autumn days are just beautiful!

English organizes sentences in a different way than we do. You need to read in English every day, pay attention to the structures of the language. It’s simpler than in Spanish or Catalan and you seem to translate from your language. This doesn’t work!

Pay attention to my comments.
You say:
-Instead today is a cloudy day, and seems it's going to rain in a few minutes, I feel quite good.
and I'd say:
-Even though it's cloudy and it seems it's going to rain, I feel quite well.
-I CAUGHT the tram.
-but for me IT'S special,
-I always DRIVE MY car to get (0) everywhere.
-ON one hand, most days, the bus IN THE mornings is SO full, that the bus driver decideS NOT TO stop AT some stations,
-so you LOOSE this bus, and you have to wait for the followING ONE. THEN YOU ARE LATE to work.
-where you can hold, NOT TO FALL in case the bus driver has to brake the bus.
-while I AM travelling to some PLACE.
-Finally the train, that is good for me too, I think it's the best way if you have to be in Barcelona's center in a few minutes, but in this case I went to the opposite direction. ??? CAN YOU REPHRASE THAT PARAGRAPH? I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. ORGANIZE IT IN A SIMPLER WAY. IT SEEMS THAT YOU MIX BOTH TRAIN AND TRAM, BUT YOUR LAST SENTENCE MAKES NO SENSE
- TO SUM UP the tram has been the best way to get TO work today because in ten minutes I was in SantJust , I(0) could HAVE A seat, I (0) could EVEN (WO) read the news.

I think the tramway it's the worst public transport that we have but I love cloudy days! I live in Sant Just and I've to say that I arrive later to Esplugues by tram than on foot.
