No, I didn't take public transportation when I was a kid. My parents usually drove me to school, and we lived in a rural area where public transportation wasn't available. I often walked or biked to most places since public transportation wasn't as developed in my area back then.
不,我小時候沒有搭乘大眾運輸工具。我的父母通常會開車送我去學校,我們住在一個沒有大眾運輸的鄉村地區。由於當時我所在的地區大眾運輸不發達,我經常步行或騎自行車去大多數地方。
語法分析
1. 過去簡單式:使用過去簡單式("didn't take"、"drove"、"lived"、"walked"、"biked")適合描述過去的習慣和情況。 2. 因果連接詞:「since public transportation wasn't as developed in my area back then」使用 "since" 引出原因,解釋說話者為什麼經常步行或騎自行車。
