How many hours have you been at SE?

It is common to see mobikes on the road.

You can see many beggars on the subway.

Many beggars always beg for money.

I have a big knuckle in my finger.

I will get ready to go to the yoga studio.

I want to ride an elephant when I go to Thailand.

I sprint to the bus station when I almost miss the bus.

Edited

The train was at 8:05am/8am so I woke up at 7am. For me that was so early. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I finished I saw the time was 7:35am it was very late so I was rushing/running to the railway station. I quickly ran to catch the train which I almost missed. The train took 1 hour 37 minutes/1 hour and a half to arrive at the Hangzhou Railway Station. I took the bus to my home for 1 hour 15 minutes. My mom cooked lunch for us. After, my dad took me to a government office/building to make a birth certificate to get married. When I finished, my daddy picked me up to take me to the Hangzhou bus station to go to the Hangzhou Railway Station.
