[00:22.96]I'm sorry.What's that?

[00:26.72]The Gagosian.It's an art gallery.

[00:32.47]I've no idea.

[00:35.63]Sorry? I'm sorry.I'm not from round here myself.

[00:41.20]I don't really know the area.

[00:44.46]Ask this guy here.Hey.excuse me,mate.Yes?

[00:50.70]Do you know a place round here called...

[00:54.78]Sorry,what was it called again?

[00:58.44]The Gagosian.It's a gallery.

[01:02.98]Oh right.Yes,I think I know the place.It's down there somewhere.

[01:11.24]Down past the park,but I'm not sure whereabouts exactly. Sorry?

[01:18.99]I'm not sure where it is exactly,but it's down there somewhere.

[01:25.55]Follow the signs to Hall Green.

[01:30.59]Just keep going straight on down this road,straight on you get to a park.

[01:37.75]It's around there somewhere.Ask someone else when you get there.

[01:43.50]OK.Thank you very much.

[01:48.33]No problem.I hope you find it.

[01:52.69]3 Pronunciation:sentence stress

[02:04.16]1 Excuse me,could you help me?

[02:09.52]2 I'm looking for a gallery called The Gagosian.

[02:17.06]3 Do you know if this is the way to The Gagosian?

[02:24.14]4 I'm sorry.I'm not from round here myself.

[02:32.29]5 I don't really know the area.

[02:39.56]6 Ask this lady here.

[02:45.72]7 It's down there somewhere.

[02:52.36]8 It's just past the bridge on the right.

[02:59.62]9 Follow the signs to the city centre.

[03:06.98]10 Just keep going straight on down this road until you get to some traffic lights.

[03:16.41]Then turn right.

[03:19.58]11.It's along that road on your left.You can't miss it.

[03:29.24]12 Ask someone else when you get there.

[03:36.50]5  Asking for directions

[03:48.41]Excuse me.Could you help me? I'm looking for a gallery called The Gagosian.

[03:56.96]The Gagosian!

[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 1 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.

[04:38.49]Go down there,until you get to the traffic lights,and then turn right.

[04:44.06]You'll see an underpass 2.

[04:47.29]Go under there to cross over to the other side of the main road.

[04:52.65]OK.I go under to the other side.

[04:57.69]Yes.Then,when you come cout,you'll see the bus stop,

[05:02.97]and then you want to get the 214 bus. 214.

[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 3

[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 4 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 5 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 6 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 8 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 7 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 9!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 10 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 11 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 12 card number for the deposit 13.

[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.
