A: Are you going to take the bus downtown, or are you going to take your bike?
B: I think there's too much traffic on the road today to go by bike. It's not safe to ride in traffic.
A: I guess there's so much traffic because of the big football game. Well, look, I'm driving downtown. Can I give you a ride?
B: Hey, thanks.
A: So do you use your bike very often?
B: Not during the week, but I ride it pretty often on the weekend.
2.
A: How are you going to get downtown? Are you going to drive?
B: I don't think so. I just heard the traffic report on the radio. It seems there is a traffic jam on the freeway. They said a couple of buses have broken down.
A: I guess it will be quicker to take the subway.
B: Absolutely!
3.
A: Gosh. I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait for a bus. We've waited half an hour already! Do you think we should go back and get the car?
B: Oh, no. I hate driving at night.
A: Let's take a taxi. I don't want to be late for the movie.
B: Good idea. I'll call for one on my cell phone. They usually come pretty quickly.
4.
A: How are you going to get home from the restaurant on Sunday, Harry?
B: Oh, I can just take a bus or a taxi. There are usually plenty of taxis around that area at night.
A: Yes, but not on a Sunday night. You might wait for a long time. Why don't you ask Kevin to drive you home? He's having dinner with us and he lives near you.
B: That's right. I'll ask him.
5.
A: What's the traffic like downtown today?
B: It's pretty bad. One of the traffic lights is broken, so all the traffic is backing up.
A: Oh. How should I get to my doctor's appointment? Drive? Take a taxi?
B: A taxi won't be any faster than driving.
A: Well then, I'll probably take the subway to the station and then walk from there.
B. Yeah, today I think that's the fastest way.
6.
A: How do you plan to get to your friend's house? Do you need a ride?
B: How's the weather?
A: It's really nice out.
B: Oh, thanks anyway, but I'll ride my bike. I was going to take the bus, but I need to get some exercise.
A: All right. But be careful of the traffic. |
