 LISTEN TO THE TEXT
 I have not published this column for a while because of time problems and also because I have been thinking of how best to improve it. Today I am trying out a new style to introduce some new sentences about catching a bus or a train and I hope to hear your comments.
In Chinese, when we want to express the meaning of catching some vehicle, we usually say "Wo Gan Che", "Wo Gan Gong gongqichen", "Wo Gan Huozhe", "Wo Gan Feiji" and so on. The sentence pattern is as below:
Sentence Pattern
No.0174: 我赶车 － I catch a bus ( or a train).
－ Wǒ gǎn chē。
No.0175: 我要赶车 －Ｉwant to catch a bus (or a train).

No.0176: 我要去赶车 － I am going to catch a bus (or a ttrain).
