Every morning, David takes the bus to work. The bus stop is in front of his building. The bus comes at half past seven.

The journey takes forty minutes. David usually sits by the window and listens to podcasts. Sometimes he talks to an old woman called Rosa. She goes to the market every day.

David works in a bank in the city centre. He gets off the bus at the last stop. In the evening, he goes home by bus again, but on Fridays he walks, because he likes the fresh air.
