BR 1-08: The way I go to school

This is the story how someone goes to elementary school. Children who appeared on this book go to school by various ways.

The first kid goes to school on foot. I think this is usual.

Second kid goes there in a wheelchair. She has lost the use of her legs. My elementary school had a student like that when I was an elementary school student. I sometimes helped him.

Third kid goes there by bike. Nobody had been there by that. Teachers would get mad. But I had been to junior high school by bike. Is it usual?

Fourth kid goes there by car. Of course, he doesn't drive. His parent takes him. I asked a favor of my mother and I often went there by car when it rained or I was reluctant to walk.

Fifth kid goes there by taxi. I think it is rare. But some student who lived far from school had come by that. I was envious of them.

Sixth kid goes there by van. Van!? What is "van"? What is the difference between a van and car or bus? I can't understand well. Anyway my elementary school didn't have a van.

Seventh kid goes there by bus. My school didn't have a bus, but I think some has one.

Eighth and last kid goes there by boat. Boat!? What is "boat"? Where do you live, or where does school locate? I think this girl is very intelligent. So her mother lets her to go high level school. Do you have a friend like that?
