A:
Last summer I went to visit my aunt who lives in Scotland. I went by train. The train was not very full and I got into an empty compartment and started to read. Just before the train left the station, a young man, who looked like a businessman, got into the same compartment. After the train started, he began to talk. He talked about his work and went on telling me about the people who bought cars from him in many different towns and cities. I became very bored. I told him that my friend was in the restaurant of the train. I took my book and went to the restaurant and stayed there for the rest of the trip.
