Talk about a cable-car ride

Talk about a cable-car ride. A ride in the cable-car is one of the most exciting and enjoyable experiences one can have. The cable-car is really a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air. It moves along the cable with other cars on pulleys, the wheels of which are turned by electric motors. The cars are painted in eye catching colors and spaced at regular intervals. Each car can take up to six person. After the passengers have entered a car, they are locked in from outside by an attendant. They have no control over the movement of the car. Before long, the passengers get a breath-taking view, through the glass windows, of the modern city of Singapore, the bustling harbor, and the several islands off the coast. In contrast to the fast moving traffic on the ground, the cars in the air move in a leisurely manner, allowing passengers more than enough time to take in the scenery during the brief trip to the island of Sentosa. The return journey is no less exciting than the outward trip. Talk about a bus ride. The bus finally arrived! I quickly hopped onto it and chose a seat near the exit.

The rattle of the engine and the heat of the blazing sun had sent some tired students on the bus into a deep sleep. I was amused to see them nodding like old men. One boy was even snoring away. The prim girl sitting next to him looked at him disapprovingly. I wondered how she could bear the heat in her long back gown. She alighted when the bus came to a beautiful mosque. Next to the mosque was a field where some boys were playing football. As the bus moved on, the trees and tall buildings seemed to whiz by. At this rate, I would be early for the appointment. In a short time, the bus reached the library. I alighted and walked towards the library. Construction work for an MRT station was underway nearby. Very soon, I would have an alternative means of transport to the library. ... - tailieumienphi.vn
