        As part of my history project on transport，I did some short interviews with people in my neighbourhood. My first interview was with my friend Susan's grandmother，Mrs Sanderson.
Question 1
How did you get to school when you were young?
      I walked to school with my friends，except for Fridays when we had to carry all of our things for school sports. Then we caught the bus. I enjoyed walking because we could chat on the way. I didn't like it when it was raining hard，but Mum always made sure that I wore my raincoat and gumboots. In addition，I became a strong walker，and I believe that's why I've been healthy all my life.
Question 2
       My parents drive me to school. Why didn't you go to school by car?
You know，we were not rich enough at that time. We could not afford a car until I finished school.
Question 3
How did you get around when you weren't going to school?
       We often went for a family trip by train. At most weekends we went on picnics and I loved playing with my cousins in the park. The trip took much longer than it takes by car today of course.
Question 4
How do you get around now?
        I still love walking，but I need to drive my grandchildren around. So I mainly use my car.
