05. Our question:

Asked by: Kantonsschule Hohe Promenade (2) | Liverpool High School (2)

What kind of transport do you use in everyday life?

Our student body, even in a relatively small area, is very diverse. In our class of ten, we have some things in common, but we also have our own unique traits. In our class, every student lives in a single-family house. We all have two working parents, and live with both. Two students are in single-parent families. Within the class, every student will be heading on to advanced education in the fall. Each student and his/her family has at least one car. Among us, five students drive to school on a regular basis. One student gets a ride from a parent. Two students walk, and the remaining two use school transportation.
