Read the passage below and circle the correct word in each bracket.

Our MRT system is the fastest and most popular form of public transport in

Singapore. The travel time from Yio Chu Kang to Orchard is about 15 minutes compared to

about 40 minutes if you [take / took] a bus. When the train reaches a station, it stops for

about 20 to 30 seconds for commuters to board or alight. However, this time includes the

time needed for the train doors to open and close. [At / In] peak hours, some people will

start pushing and shoving to make sure that they manage to board or alight the train

successfully.

The trains run almost 18 hours from 5.30am to about midnight daily. During peak

hours, the train frequency is about 2 to 3 minutes and about 5 to 7 minutes during off-peak

times. [Do / Did] you know that there are more than 100 MRT stations in Singapore? Hence,

it is convenient to board a train to go to any part of Singapore. The trains are very reliable

and run on their own electrified tracks. There are no traffic jams in the MRT system and it is

not affected by the weather. When the train breaks down, sometimes shuttle services are

provided by [a / the] train company to send MRT commuters to the closest interchange.

The trains are clean and comfortable and to make sure that they remain so, littering,

eating, drinking and smoking are not allowed. The trains are also air-conditioned to keep

out the heat. It is quite safe to travel on the MRT as accidents rarely happen. However, we

must be careful at all times to [guard / guards] against pickpockets for they are able to

strike swiftly in crowded areas.

Hooray!
