DO YOU THINK YOUR COMMUTE IS BAD?
TRY 640 KILOMETRES A DAY!
Do you think gas* prices are too
high? Well, be happy that you
aren't Jim Kendrick of Texas in
the USA.
Every weekday, Kendrick drives
320 kilometres from his home
in San Antonio, Texas, to his
job at AbleCargo in the port
of Houston... and then 320
kilometres back again! He leaves
work at 5a.m. and gets home
and has dinner with his wife at
9p.m.
For his daily journey, Kendrick
won the competition 'America's
Longest Commute'. His three-
and-a-half-hour commute
was longer than all the other
people in the competition, and
is a lot more than the average
American commute of twenty-
five minutes.
'I was surprised to win,' said
Kendrick, who won $10,000.
1 A commute is...
O a type of transport.
O the journey from home to work and back.
O a part of a car.
'I was sure that someone else
had a longer commute. But it's
great-$10,000 is just enough to
buy gas for another year.'
Why does he do it? 'Well, my
wife and I have a beautiful
house in San Antonio and our
lifestyle is important to us.'
'The drive gives me a lot of
energy. Sometimes, when I
drive my Ford Mustang down
the highway, I feel like a
professional racing car driver.'
How much longer does he want
to do this commute? Another
five or ten years,' Kendrick
said. 'I don't see any reason to
stop. But gas prices are high, so
maybe I need to look for a job
nearer home.'
*gas (American English) = petrol
(British English)
2 Jim Kendrick won $10,000 because...
O he was the safest driver in Texas.
O he drove the most kilometres in one year.
O he travelled the furthest to work.
