Last week and this week we where reading Catching the bus in Samoa it talks about the differences between a Samoan bus and A New Zealand bus. Here is one of our tasks
Official - done or said by someone with authority
Luggage - holding things for taking on a journey
The supapkako helps to load and unload the luggage
Breeze - a wind
Most of the times the windows are kept down,and a cold breeze flows thourugh the bus
Passengers - a person who is driven or carried in a car. Train or aircraft
these buses takes passengers from the market in town to the wharf
Uncomfortable - not comfortable
So travelling is uncomfortable enough without a heavy person sitting on you as well.
Ornaments - a decoration
hey reflect the personality and taste of the driver,and they might be decorated with ornaments,soft toys and stickers.
Cord - a thin flexible strip of twisted threads or strands
when you want to get off,you pull the cord to let the driver know,
Market - a place where things are brought and solded,usally from stalls from the open air
I would go to the market to catch the bus home.
Combinations - a number of things or people that are combined
Samoan buses are painted in bright combinations of colours.
