Question

My home is far from my school. The yellow school bus gets to my home at 8: 30 every morning. When I get on the school bus, I say “Good morning” to Sally, and Sally says “Good morning” to me, too. Then she drives me and other students to school. On the way to school, I like to have a talk with my friends.

I take the special（特別的）bus called—Smart Bus to school. Parents are notified（被通知） ten minutes before the bus gets to their home, when their children get on the bus and when their children get to school. Parents don′t need to worry about（擔(dān)心）their children too much.
