中文原文
早上闹钟响了好几次，你起晚了。来不及做早餐，抓了面包就出门赶地铁。地铁里人非常拥挤，你好不容易挤上去，结果发现自己忘记带钱包。
My translation
Even my alarm rang for a couple of times, I got up late this morning. There was no time for making a breakfast, so I grabbed a bread and went out to catch up subway. It was very crowded in the subway station. I tried my best to get up on one train, then I found that I forgot to bring my wallet.
Revised version
Even though my alarm went off a couple of times, I still slept in this morning. I had no time for breakfast, so I grabbed some bread and headed out to catch the subway. The train was packed. I struggled to get on, only to realize I’d forgotten my wallet.
