My mum is always at work and my sisters are never around, so I have nothing to do. My house is boring. The train lets me escape and explore.
I have been taking the train for five years. I've learned that it's fast and convenient. I live about two miles from the Blue Line Imperial Station. I like taking the train because it gives me freedom.
My favourite place to go is downtown. I take the train to Macy's Plaza in front of the 7th Street Station to do some shopping at Borders or Victoria's Secret, or to get something to eat at the food court. With 25 cents, you can take the DASH bus from the station to get to the Fashion District. Since I like making accessories(首饰) like earrings, love going there because of all the deals on jewelry supplies.
I take the train to the Museum of Contemporary Art with friends on the first Sunday of every month since we can get in for free. We tour around the museum and get to do an art project at the end. like going to the museum because there are a lot of wonderful things.
The cool thing about the train is that it connects to other train lines, which lets you see different parts of the city. The Gold Line runs from Union Station northeast to Pasadena and now east to East LA. The Red Line goes from downtown to Hollywood. The Green Line goes from Norwalk to several beaches. When I don't know how to get somewhere, I go to mta. net, type in my starting point and end point and get times and routes. I hardly ever get lost.
