스피킹 챌린지 III - Unit 02. Commuting ( like, dislike, desire, plan ) + to 부정사(to infinitive)/동명사(ing)

Dialogue

I really hate driving to campus.

How long is your commute?

It's around one hour. I don't really live that far from campus.
It's just that I hit traffic at rush hour.

You should take a subway.

I hate taking a subway. There are so many people and
I have to do a lot of transfers.

But, doesn't it save your time?

I only save then minutes. I don't think it's worth it.

You should move closer to school. I moved last month and
I only have to walk 15 minutes to campus.

Hmmm... I'll think about that.

Also, Pat bought a bike and it only takes him five minutes to get to his first class.
He lives farther than I do. / 나보다 더 멀리 살아.

That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. I'll look up apartments in the area when I get home.

Good luck!
