Intro
Buildings like malls and airports usually have lots of stories and long flights of stairs. Thankfully, they usually have a convenient way for people to carry their bags without working very hard: escalators!
Some people are scared of escalators, but these moving stairs are only accidents waiting to happen when people try crazy antics around their friends.
Lily loves escalators, but Rafael doesn’t. Find out why in today’s English lesson.
