Busmen have decided to go on strike next week. The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. No one knows how long it will last. The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions. Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week. Many owners of private cars are going to offer 'free rides' to people on their way to work. This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent. Meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts. All the students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test. The students are going to take the test in two days' time. Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work. But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in letters to the Press. Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast!

公共汽车司机决定下星期罢工，从星期二开始，谁也不知道会持续多久。 司机们表示，在双方就工资和工作条件达成全面协议之前，罢工会一直继续。大多数人认为，至少要持续一周。 许多私家车主准备在上班路上免费捎人，这能在一定程度上减轻铁路的压力。 与此同时，一些大学生自愿在罢工期间开公共汽车。他们驾驶技术都很熟练，但上岗前必须通过专项考试。考试定在两天后。 即便如此，人们上班还是会遇到不少困难。 不过到目前为止，公众纷纷写信给报社，感谢学生们。只有一两个人反对，担心这些学生会把车开得太快！
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《论罢工》：下周二开始罢工 → 诉求达成才会结束 → 车主愿意免费搭载 → 学生主动帮忙开公交 → 通勤仍然会困难 → 公众总体表示感谢。再借一个结构讲自己的事：把本课一句直接引语转述给第三个人，检查人称和时间是否仍然合理。
