北师大版高中英语模块7--Unit 24 Lesson2-4

[00:00.72]Exercise 6 Listen to the conversation.
[00:04.11]Guess what the things refer to.
[00:11.45]Sorry I've turned up late.
[00:13.16]The Broadway- you know what the traffic's like.
[00:15.68]I got beld up for ten minutes.
[00:17.32]Mmm it's awful there at this time of day,
[00:19.10]isn't it?This city's a real mess-
[00:21.28]don't you think?
[00:22.11]Yeah, it'd be a good idea if they...
[00:24.66]if they stopped traffic going into the center-
[00:26.63]you know what I mean?
[00:27.95]There could be lost more pedestrian¹ streets
[00:30.14]and that sort of thing.
[00:31.34]Mmmm that's not a bad idea.
[00:33.00]Like they have in Rotherham.
[00:35.41]But... what about doing something
[00:36.84]about public transport?
[00:38.56]It's about time e had more buses.
[00:40.49]You have to wait ages or the number 23,
[00:42.18]don't you?I think they should put buses
[00:44.62]every fifteen minutes.
[00:45.91]So do I.And what would be really great is
[00:48.30]if they were... free.
[00:50.01]Then people would use them more,wouldn't they?
[00:52.21]They're so expensive at the moment,
[00:53.80]even with a season ticket.
[00:55.45]And they keep going up all the time.
[00:56.67]That's true.
[00:57.70]What we need are some big changes in this place
[01:00.70]I'd charge people more for bringing cars
[01:02.49]into the center.
[01:03.39]Especially big ones like jaguars².
[01:05.23]Yeah... the mayor's useless isn't he?...
[01:07.30]
