Original:
It was a long way for me to get here from my office. Althought it’s just 5 stations,the line 2 was so busy, there was too many people want to take it. So I really don’t want to take line 2,but I must take it. Shanghai is a big city, it’s beautiful and busy. I am a local citizen in Shanghai.When I was a child,there were not many modern buildings here.But know the buildings are taller and taller.I think it means our city is developing, but I also feel that people have less connection with others.

Edit:
Getting here from my office seemed to take ages / forever. Although it’s just 5 stations, line 2 (was packed with people)  was extremely / unusually / incredibly busy. A lot of people wanted to take it. So I really didn‘t want to take line 2, but I had to. Shanghai is a big city, it’s beautiful and busy. I was born and raised in Shanghai. When I was a child, there weren’t many modern buildings here, but now the buildings are taller and taller. I think it means our city is developing, but I also feel that people have less connection with others.
