 LISTEN TO THE TEXT
 I have not published this column for a while because of time problems and also because I have been thinking of how best to improve it. Today I am trying out a new style to introduce some new sentences about catching a bus or a train and I hope to hear your comments.
In Chinese, when we want to express the meaning of catching some vehicle, we usually say "Wo Gan Che", "Wo Gan Gong gongqichen", "Wo Gan Huozhe", "Wo Gan Feiji" and so on. The sentence pattern is as below:
Sentence Pattern
No.0174: 莎区拾 鐚 I catch a bus ( or a train).

No.0175: 荀莎区拾 鐚鐚want to catch a bus (or a train).
