Another current part 2 topic with example answer.
As I commute into the city for work every day, I always do my best to avoid the rush hour traffic, which is not always easy. I usually get up at 6 am and catch the bus at 6.30 to beat the heavy traffic, and go for a relaxing coffee before starting work. 

 However, about 2 weeks ago, I slept in on a monday morning and didn’t wake up until 8am,missing the early bus, and not catching the next one until 8.30, which i knew would mean being late for work due to the traffic.

Normally the bus ride into the city centre takes about 45 minutes, but because of taking the bus during the peak rush hour it now took almost 2 hours. The traffic was unbelievable, and cars were bumper to bumper, moving at a snail’s pace, for the entire journey.

What made it even worse was that the bus was full, and passengers were packed like sardines , which also meant I had to stand for the full journey. To try and pass the time, I just read the  news using my mobile phone, as well as messaging my boss to let him know I would be late for work due to the heavy traffic.

I’m not the  most patient person and being stuck in a traffic jam like this is something I really hate, and always something I try to avoid. I also take pride in always being on time for work, and felt absolutely terrible  to be over an hour late on this day. I now set 2 alarms every night to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

Un frère très méchant
Léo joue au ballon.
- Je peux jouer avec toi ? demande sa sœur Fanny.
- Non ! répond l’ourson. Un peu plus tard, Léo joue aux quilles.
- Je peux jouer avec toi ? demande encore Fanny.
- Non !
- Tu es vraiment méchant ! crie la petite ourse. Furieuse, elle jette sa poupée contre le mur. Crac ! La poupée se casse en trois morceaux !
- Ma poupée ! sanglote Fanny.
Léo ramasse le jouet et dit :
- Je le recollerai !
Alors l’oursonne s’exclame :
- Finalement, tu n’es pas si méchant que ça !

最近特别特别忙。一般我早上七点就醒了。躺一会儿之后，大概到七点二十吧，我就得起床。起来之后第一件事情，先喂猫，然后稍微把家里打扫一下。八点之前，我肯定就吃完饭了。然后我一般会看半小时书。我很喜欢看书，中文的英文的都会看。我一般九点去上班，中午有两个小时休息时间。下午五点下班，回家之后我可能会去健身房，运动一个小时左右，然后回家休息或者放松。
