I live in a town called Perigucux, but I work in a small village in the countryside. The only way I can go to work is by train. In the UK, I went to school by train or by bus every day. So I would like to give you my comparisons between trains in France and the UK.I was surprised when I found trains run every two hours in France. This is a real problem because sometimes I have to wait at the station for a long time. In the UK, trains usually leave at least 30 minutes.Just like in the UK, the trains sometimes are delayed（延迟）in France. There is nothing else I can do in the village before the train arrives, so I have to wait at the station. Once I had to wait for four hours. I even wanted to cry when the train arrived at last.Although there are some things I dont like about trains in France, they have some especially good points. I like the uniform（制服）that all workers wear at train stations in France. I also find that the workers are very friendly and helpful. Whats more, the stations are very large and tidy.1.
