Model Answer 1:
Journey inside a city like Mumbai is really troublesome if you do not have any 
private vehicle. On the other side, the traffic congestion also make the 
journeys boring and dull. So, I always have an unpleasant experience while 
movement in this city. I am happy that I could describe one of such events 
here.
I went to my university located in the central part of Mumbai city. My 
residence is a bit far away from the university. So, I need to ride on the public 
transport every day to reach the university in time. But in most of the days, I 
make late for the class. Though this is a short trip, often it becomes longer for 
the delays on the road. Like the other days, I went to the university and the

trip was short. But I could not like the journey for some reasons. The bus I rode 
on was crowded and I could not manage a seat to sit. 
Usually, I move for the university alone. I do not have any classmates or friends 
living near me. In fact, my residence is at one corner of the city and it is a 15-
minute journey from the nearest bus stop to the university. So, I move there 
alone. Sometimes, my younger brother comes with me (who is also a college 
student) to attend his college classes. But this is not a routine for us. If he has 
to attend classes early in the morning, he accompanies me or I accompany 
him. But on regular days, I have to make a solo trip towards my university. On 
this day, I was alone and started to catch a class before 9.00 am. Though I was 
able to reach at the university before the class hour, the experience was 
unpleasant for me.
Moving alone, particularly for females is really hard in this city of Mumbai. So, 
as a female, it is the same for me every day. I have to face various types of 
discrimination while I am on the street. Riding on public transports is also 
harassing for me. On the day, I waited for the bus at the local bus stop. The bus 
arrived late. It was supposed to arrive by 7.45 am. But it was late. The bus 
made 20 minutes late. So, I had to wait while the waiting queue increased. 
There were some people before me on the line and they rushed when the bus 
arrived. So, I was unable to manage my seat in the desired place. I had to take 
the seat at a corner and it was a great trouble for me to get down from the bus 
be passing a large crowd of men. 
I did not like the journey for some reasons. Firstly, the bus was late. I planned 
to complete an assignment after reaching the university. But I could not 
complete that. Further, some of the passengers on the bus tried to occupy my 
seat. They failed as I protested against them loudly inside the bus. It was out of 
my nature to shout loudly and I had to do that only to arrange my seat in the 
bus. Besides, I moved hurriedly for the university with the aim to attend the 
class. But the class did not take place at the time. The teacher shifted the class 
to another date for his physical illness. In fact, I had to struggle a lot to reach 
the university but everything was in vain. I had obstacles from the beginning of 
the journey and thus I could not like the journey at all on that day.
