Topic1 The daily commute1 time in Beijing is the longest one nationwide"Where did my time go? If I'm not in my office, then I must be on my way to the office." These jokes reflect the busy life of Chinese people in metropolises2. Long-time commute is something that people there have to experience every day. And people in Beijing spend 97 minutes on average to get to work, longer than any other Chinese citiy.
So how long do you spend on the way for daily commute?
Topic2 Book a hotel room and bring your whole family there to take showersA Mr. Ma from Yangzhou, East China's Jiangsu Province has complained about being
discriminated3 when an

The hotel says it wouldn't provide such services to five people Mr. Ma brought along with him while he was the only person who checked in.
What happened? Who do you side with here?
