How do you get to and from work every day?

I always commute by train. It takes me more than an hour to get to work because I have
to take three different trains.

自然な表現

I always commute by train. It takes me more than an hour to get to work, because I have
to take three different trains.

1. Comma should be used before 'because' to separate two independent clauses.
Wow! That seems like a lot, however I notice that it still takes you just over an hour. It seems you have a good train system in your country. What time do you start working? Are the trains usually crowded?

My work starts at 10 a.m, a little later so I can avoid the rush hour and it's not crowded so I can get a seat.

自然な表現

My work starts at 10 a.m, a little later, so I can avoid the rush hour, and it's not crowded, so I can get a seat.

1. Comma is needed here to set off introductory phrase from the main clause.
2. Comma is needed here to separate two independent clauses joined by conjunction 'and'.
3. Comma is needed here to separate two independent clauses joined by conjunction 'so'.
That's lucky. Not many people get to start working at that time. What time do you get off work since you start at 10 a.m.? Are the trains crowded on your commute home?

I get off work at 7 p.m. The trains are little bit crowded on my commnte home. When I'm lucky, I get a seat.

自然な表現

I get off work at 7 p.m. The trains are a little bit crowded on my commute home. When I'm lucky, I get a seat.

1. The correct phrase is 'A little bit'.
2. You can also say 'packed' here.
3. This is the correct spelling.
The commute home is clearly more challenging than your morning trip to work. Have you considered using other forms of transport to get to work?

That's right. No, I haven't. The only way is by train.

自然な表現

That's right. No, I haven't. The only way to get to work is by train.

1. This was added to make your sentence complete and more clear.
I see. I also assume that taking the train is faster than driving or taking a bus. Would you move to an area closer to your workplace if you had the chance?

Yes. On my way from work, I get off at a station along the way and do see a movie or do some shipping.

自然な表現

Yes. On my way home from work, I get off at a station along the way and   see a movie or do some shopping.

1. This was added to make it more clear.
2. 'do' is not needed here.
3. This is the correct spelling.
