Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system. Traffic jams can be terrible. It’s usually quickest to go by subway. The New York subway is easy to use and quite cheap. The subway goes to almost every corner of Manhattan. But it is not safe to take the subway late at night because in some places you could get robbed. New York buses are also easy to use. You see more if you go by bus. There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry Large TAXI signs. Taxis do not go outside the city. However, they will go to the airports. In addition to the taxi fare, people give the taxi driver a tip of 15 percent of the fare’s value.

As a rule, reading work should begin with a general or global understanding of the text, and then move to smaller units such as paragraphs, sentences and words.
To scan is to look for specific information quickly without reading word by word. You have to know what you’re looking for before you begin. When you scan, look for key words, names, dates, or other specifics that mean you have found the information you are looking for. Don’t stop to read everything on a page slowly and carefully. Instead,Scan until you come to the information you need, then read carefully.
forced to live in homes for the aged.
I like reading short stories because they are easy to read and I can finish a whole story within a few minutes. My teacher told us that aside from regular homework, we should also do some outside reading. Thus I chose to read short stories. It doesn’t take much of my time. Books open a lot of doors for us. Aside from entertaining we can also learn from books. When I read books I can go to places I’ve never been to and meet persons I’ve never met or will never have a chance of meeting. It also broadens my mind as it tells me ways to do things that I have never thought of doing. Finally it leads us to know ourselves better.
