[03:59.91]Yes,do you know it? [04:04.17]Yes,but it's miles away. [04:08.42]But someone told me it's near the park. [04:14.77]No,no honestly.It's near Oxford Circus.I've been there. [04:20.13]Where is it? Oxford Circus. [04:24.39]Ah,Oxford Circus.Yes,Is it near here? Can we walk there? [04:32.56]No,as I say,miles way.You're best taking a bus.

[05:09.73]Yes,and ask the driver to let you off at Oxford Circus,OK? [05:15.79]Just tell him what stop you want to get off at. [05:20.65]OK.Thank you,thank you. [05:25.41]I share a flat with a friend from work-Kate. [05:36.56]She's a nice woman and we get on well, [05:40.61]but there is one thing we always argue about: [05:45.65]cars!She loves her car.She goes everywhere in it. [05:51.82]She's even given it a name-she calls it Jenny! [05:56.86]Every day kate drives to work and I cycle. [06:02.50]Kate thinks I'm mad. [06:05.84]She says cycling is dangerous and dirty- [06:10.39]you get all hot and sweaty-and she thinks it's hard and boring. [06:15.95]Of course,the one things she never says is it's slow. [06:21.41]That's because every day she leaves the house 20 minutes before I do on my bike. [06:28.78]Most days,though,we arrive at work around the same time, [06:34.24]but quite often she arrives later than me, [06:38.92]because the traffic lights weren't working [06:43.04]or because there were road works [06:46.88]or because of a car crash on the main road into town [06:51.74]or because she couldn't find a parking space. [06:55.90]I can always cycle past these traffic jams and problems, [07:01.22]so it takes me more or less the same time every day. [07:06.37]I guess it can be a bit dangerous sometimes, [07:11.65]but only because there are so many cars,and anyway, [07:16.79]I've never actually had an accident or fallen off my bike. [07:21.97]And of course,cycling keeps me fit,which is why I'm still a size 10 and she's 14, [07:29.91]although Kate doesn't like it when I say this! [07:34.27]If I don't travel to places by bike, [07:39.13]I prefer to go on the bus or the train. [07:43.39]It's just more relaxing than going in the car. [07:48.06]In the car,all you can do is listen to the radio or listen to music, [07:54.41]but on public transport,you can read,listen to your Walkman,write letters, [08:01.57]watch lots of different kinds of people,make new friends or just sleep! [08:07.73]Anyway,the thing Kate and I have been arguing about most recently [08:13.98]is the new charge the council is going to introduce. [08:18.94]They want to charge car drivers 5 a day to go into the town centre. [08:25.89]That's 25 a week if you work there! [08:31.22]They say this will stop people making journeys [08:35.97]that they don't really need to make. [08:39.52]It will make the streets safer, [08:43.36]it'll make the city safer to walk in and it will cut pollution. [08:48.82]Also,the council have promised to spend the money they make on improving public transport. [08:56.19]I think it's a great idea. [09:00.03]Kate,of course,is really angry about it. [09:04.71]She calls it robbery and has said she's not going to pay it! [09:09.85]4 While you listen [09:20.51]Conversation 1 [09:24.17]I'm sorry,do you speak English? Of course. [09:31.32]Oh..is this the right platform for Leeds? [09:37.28]No,you're on the wrong side. [09:41.04]You need to go over there. [09:44.59]Oh right,I wasn't sure.Thanks. [09:49.56]Conversation 2 [09:54.00]Yes madam? [09:57.66]Oh,I'd like a ticket to Manchester. [10:02.41]For today? Yes. [10:05.96]And returning? Yes,return. [10:10.32]I mean,what day are you returnig? [10:15.00]Oh,OK.Yes.Monday. [10:19.86]OK,what time? [10:23.80]Sorry,I don't know.Do I need to? [10:28.66]OK.I can give you a cheaper ticket,but it's not valid before 9.30. [10:36.03]Sorry?I..er...please,can you say it again? [10:42.06]Do you need to come back before half past nine in the morning on Monday? [10:49.80]I er..I don't know.How much? [10:55.57]This is what I'm trying to tell you.If you come back before nine, [11:01.63]it's peak hour so it'll be 175. [11:08.11]One hundred..Yes,but if you come back after 9.30 it's 50 return. [11:16.05]Fifty!Oh,still very expensive. [11:20.59]There are cheaper tickets,but you have to book in advance. Eh? [11:26.26]In advance.Listen there are people waiting. [11:31.83]Do you wnt the ticket or not? Yes. [11:36.27]OK,so I guess,that's the standard saver return to Manchester. [11:43.92]It's only valid for off-peak trains. [11:49.07]That'll be 50 pounds.How are you paying? [11:53.30]Do you take cards? [11:56.33]Yes that's fine...can you sign here?... [12:00.43]OK,thank you! Next pease!Where are you travelling? [12:06.60]Conversation 3 [12:10.67]Yes,sir.Hi.I'd like to rent a car for a week. [12:16.63]Certainly,sir.What class of vehicle would you like? [12:22.09]Um...probably just the cheapest one you've got,to be honest. [12:27.65]I'm afraid we don't have any available,but we do have a Renault Clio, [12:34.00]which is Class B.Thats the next cheapest. [12:39.33]So how much would that be for one week? [12:43.48]Three hundred euros. [12:46.96]That includes unlimited mileage,so you can drive as much as you like during the week without paying any extra. [12:55.31]OK.Does that include insurance? [12:59.76]No.There's 60 charge for that,I'm afraid. [13:05.53]OK.OK.That sounds all right.I'll take it. [13:10.99]OK.In that case,I'll need your passport and driving licence,please. [13:17.94]And then you'll need to leave your credit card number for the deposit. [13:23.71]Conversation 4 [13:27.47]Sorry,do you speak English?A little. [13:32.93]I want to go to the Museu do Chiado? [13:39.49]Museu do Chiado. [13:42.94]Could you tell me what stop I have to get off at? [13:47.79]Yes,yes.Sit down.
