My grandad lives in the country and every morning five days a week gets the bus to school.0:50
He doesn't have to change as the bus takes him right to the school.0:58
He gets off the bus at half past eight or thereabout.1:06
My grandad likes to do many things but he likes travelling most of all.1:11
He often goes to different cities perhaps once or twice a month and sometimes he goes to other countries too.1:19
He travels by sea, by train or flies.1:28
He likes voyages very much and often takes pictures on board the ship.1:33
He likes the sea and the wind.1:39
Last month he travelled to Scotland.1:43
It was not a lucky trip.1:46
He nearly missed his train because he arrived late at the railway station.1:48
On the train somebody stole his favourite silver box in which he kept his tobacco.1:54
There was no bus or taxi to take him to the hotel where he wanted to stay and so he had to go on foot.2:01
When he arrived at the hotel he was tired and went upstairs.2:11
However, his luggage was not there so Grandad went downstairs again but couldn't find it.2:17
When he did it was midnight and the lift did not work.2:26
So he was very unhappy that night and slept badly.2:32
However, in the morning the sun began to shine again and life seemed brighter.2:37
There is nothing like travelling.2:45
My grandad says you'll always enjoy it, only look on the bright side.2:48
