12.In North America,most students go to school by bus.The subway is also widely used in some cities.In small towns and cities,walking is still popular. The yellow school bus is a familiar sight all over North America.It is a very convenient form of transportation because it takes students right to the entrance to the school.It also gives students the chance to chat with their friends.However,the bus is slow and does not always pick up the students on time. The subway is a means of getting around quickly in many cities.However,it is expensive and can be very crowded(擁擠的) during the rush hour.Another disadvantage(劣勢(shì)) of the subway is that the stops are not so close to the school,and students often have to walk very far or take a bus from the subway stop to the school. Walking has a lot of advantages for those who live close to school.It's free and it is a form of exercise.However,it's no fun if you have a large backpack full of books to carry.It's also unpleasant if the weather is too hot,cold or wet.
