Model Answer
The train leaves at nine o'clock in the morning. It goes from London to Oxford today. It arrives at ten o'clock in the morning. My seat is number 12B by the big window. On the train I read my book and listen to music.
Why this works
Here is why these bold words are helpful for your writing:
1. "leaves at nine o'clock"
We always use "at" before a time to say when the train goes.
2. "from London to Oxford"
Use "from" for the start station and "to" for the end station.
3. "arrives at ten o'clock"
Use "arrives at" to tell the reader what time your trip finishes.
4. "by the big window"
This adds an easy detail to tell people where your seat is.
5. "read my book and listen to music"
Use simple action words to say what you enjoy doing on the trip.
