Writing exercise

I’m scared because/about the new scooter regulation in Shanghai. I don’t know which one is allowed and which one is not, I’m not sure if I need to change my scooter expending more money for something that I won’t keep it mine when I go back to home.
On the other hand, I really need my scooter. I can’t use subway or bus because I would spend too much time between my “things to do”. I need to arrive at least at 3 or 4 places on time everyday and I don’t have enought time for going by subway or another public transport.
I have a lots of problems everyday to understand all about related to China. Today is the new scooteer’s law, but what about tomorrow? 🙁
