　　In Hong Kong, there are many ways to travel on land. Many people travel by bus. The buses are often crowded and noisy. Sometimes we have to wait for a long time to get on a bus. Travelling by minibus is more expensive but it is faster. The minibus is also more comfortable because every passenger has a seat.

　　Now more and more people like travelling by MTR. MYR is quite expensive but it is clean and fast. To places like Tai Po and Sheung Shui, we can take the KCR. Travelling by the KCR is as comfortable as MTR.

One of the problems career people(上班族) have in the morning is dressing for the office when there will be an evening party immediately followed, with no time to return home to change. The easiest solution is to keep a full set of toiletries (洗漱用品) and make-ups stored somewhere at the office. A woman going to an evening party should dress in one of her “basic dresses” in the morning—the kind that can change into a different look with an added scarf or jewelry. In fifteen minutes, when her office day has ended, she can metamorphose(彻底变化) herself into another person with freshly cleaned teeth, combed hair, a new face, a different and dressier(漂亮的) pair of shoes, and some sparkling jewelry. If she must wear a long dress for the party, she should bring it to the office in a protective bag and store it safely until she has to put it on.
