Band 7

I’d like to talk about a short journey I often make but really dislike. It’s the microbus ride from my home in Nasr City to my university in the centre of Cairo. It takes only about twenty-five minutes when the road is clear, but I do it five days a week, usually at half past seven in the morning, because my first lecture starts at nine. The problem is that at that time every microbus is packed to the roofЯркое словосочетание для очень переполненного транспорта, and I often have to stand with my bag between my knees. The driver plays loud music and drives far too fast, then brakes suddenly, so passengers fall to each othersОшибка формы: должно быть «fall into each other». There’s also a big junction near the bridge where the cars hardly move, so we sit there for agesНеформальная, естественная фраза для долгого ожидания every single day. I can’t read or even use my phone, because there’s no room, and sometimes I feel a bit sick. I usually put my earphones in and try to listen to a podcast, but between the music and the horns I can’t follow a single sentence. I tried the metro once, but it needs two changes and takes longer, so I go backОшибка времени: должно быть «went back» to the microbus. What I dislike most is that the journey tires me out before the day has even startedРасщеплённое предложение, точно использованное для выразительности, and I never know exactly how long it will take. I’m hoping to find a flat near the university next year.

Band 8

I’d like to talk about a short journey I make several times a week and really dislike: the microbus ride from my home in Nasr City to my university in the centre of Cairo. It takes only about twenty-five minutes when the road is clear, but I do it five days a week, usually at half past seven in the morning, because my first lecture starts at nine. The problem is that at that time every microbus is packed to the roof, and I often have to stand with my bag between my knees. The driver plays loud music and drives far too fast, then brakes without warning, so passengers topple into one anotherТочный глагольный оборот для резкого движения. There’s also a big junction near the bridge, a real bottleneck where the cars barely move, so we sit there for ages every single day. I can’t read or even use my phone, because there’s no room, and sometimes I feel slightly sick. I usually put my earphones in and try to listen to a podcast, but between the music and the horns I can’t follow a single sentence. I tried the metro once, but it needs two changes and takes longer, so I went back to the microbus. What bothers me most is that the journey wears me out before the day has even begun, and that I can never tell how long it will takeДва параллельных придаточных с «that» внутри расщеплённого предложения, использованные точно. Honestly, I’m counting the months untilИдиоматичный, гибкий способ выразить надежду I can find a flat near the university.
