    When I was a boy, I used to travel by bus or by motorbike. My grandparents used to live in a small town, but my parents used to work in another town. It's far from my home to my grandparents'. It's about 100 miles. We used to take a bus or ride a motorbike to visit my grandparents. There were always many people on the bus. I used to feel terrible when I was on it. Therefore (因此) , my parents used to take me to my grandparents' by motorbike. I often felt better, but it was too cold in winter. We must stop to stay warm for a while and had a short rest for several times on the way.

    Now, it has changed a lot. My father bought a nice car three years ago. We can drive to my grandparents' home. And I am an 18-year-old college student. I don't feel terrible even though I travel by bus. I usually feel comfortable when I travel by our own car.
