In Japan, many people go to work by train. Morning trains are very crowded. There are many people at the station too. But evening trains are empty.

densha no naka de, hon o yomu hito ya, sumaho o miru hito ga imasu. denwa de hanasu hito wa imasen. densha no naka wa shizukana tokoro desu.

On the train, some people read books and some look at their phones. No one talks on the phone. The inside of the train is a quiet place.

If the train is late, you can get a "delay certificate" at the station. You can submit it to your company. Some students submit it to their school.

Every morning, I study Japanese on the train. I study English at home. Commute time is precious study time.
