1. If you want to get to the Olympic Park at 10:30 A.M., what time will you catch the train at Petersham?
2. What time does the last train leave Petersham?
3. If you miss the 3:08 P.M. train at Petersham, when is the next train?


 

2. Design your own schedule about the things you want to do during the two-week Olympic period in Beijing in 2008. Assume you'll spend 20 hours each week as a volunteer, 20 hours each week as a spectator, and 20 hours each week on your regular job.
