Reading Practice: A1 Level – At The Bus Stop
Welcome to an Exciting Reading Activity!
📝 Story Time: At The Bus Stop
Every morning, I walk to the bus stop near my house. The bus stop is small but busy, and many people come here to catch the bus. Some people read a book, others check their phone, and a few chat with a friend. I wait with a smile on my face, excited for the day to begin.
Today, I met my friend Anna at the bus stop. She wore a bright red coat and said, “Good morning! How are you?” I answered, “I am fine, thank you!” We talked about the sunny weather and our plans for the day. The sky was clear, and the warm sun made everything feel cheerful. 🌞
Soon, a big red bus arrived. The friendly bus driver opened the door and said, “Hello, please come in!” Anna and I climbed on and found seats by the window. As the bus started moving, I looked outside and saw green trees, colorful houses, and smiling people on the street. The ride was calm, and it felt like a little adventure.
At the bus stop, waiting is not boring at all. It is a time to meet friends, share a smile, and start the day with hope. Every bus ride brings a new story, and every moment at the bus stop can be exciting!
