M: Are you pleased   your new job? How is it going?
W: It’s great. I’m really (enjoy) it. The people are nice and I’m learning lots of new things. It’s a shame about the travel  .
M: Oh, why?
W: Well, it’s quite far from   I live. I travel over   hour each way every day.
M: That’s quite a journey. Is there a direct route from your place?
W: No,  (fortunate). I leave for work at about 7:30 am and catch the bus not far from my place. When I get to downtown, I have to get off   take the metro all the way up to north of the city. The ride   (last) about 30 minutes.
M: Well, can you read a paper  a book?
W: , it’s the rush hour. It’s usually standing room only.
