M: Hi, Jean. You look worried. Is everything OK?

W: Well, my new boss is expecting us to start work at 8 o'clock in the morning. But I have to take our children to school. That means I'll be late for work. And you can't spare any time to do it.

M: Oh, dear...er...but not a surprise. My friend Alice had a similar problem last year.

W: How did she settle it?

M: She didn't do anything at first. But in the end she told it to her boss. He said he hadn't realized the early start would present a problem and he agreed to let his staff start half an hour late.

W: That's great. Perhaps I should deal with it the same way.

M: Do you know when and how bicycles began? Well, in the eighteenth century, cities became larger and larger. And people moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse. So people needed a simpler means of transportation, and inventors in many countries tried to solve this problem. Therefore, the first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared finally. People called it "the horse on wheels", but it was difficult to ride and it also felt uncomfortable. Then in 1861, after many improvements being made, bicycles became a practical means of transportation. And people liked bicycles, because they were not as expensive as horses, and better still, they didn't need to be fed. However, they could go anywhere and were easy to ride.
