The commute

Read Aloud · B1

Your prompt

Read this passage aloud.

Read the passage aloud at a steady, natural pace. It is fine to pause between sentences.

Reference

My commute takes forty minutes each way, and for a long time I resented every one of them. Then I stopped trying to work on the train and started using the time differently: a podcast one day, a book the next, sometimes just looking out of the window. The journey is the same length, but it no longer feels like time stolen from my life.
