[00:00.00]Unit 11    Transport and fravel
[00:04.70]2  While you read
[00:10.66]1.The white van
[00:15.70]The typical white van driver
[00:19.67]is usually in his twenties and makes deliveries1 for a living.
[00:25.52]He only ever drivers in second gear2 because (a)
[00:31.56]he's too lazy to change it and (b) because the van makes more noise that way!
[00:39.21]He is completely antisocial,whistling at women swearing at everyone else.
[00:46.05]and cutting in front of everybody when he drives.
[00:51.10]2.The second-hand3 French car
[00:56.74]Typical drivers of anything old and French in the UK tend to be old hippies.
[01:04.78]who have Greenpeace and Save The Whales stickers in the windows.
[01:10.82]In the back of the car.
[01:14.27]there are always piles of old papers and bottles and clothes
[01:20.54]that they always mean to take to the recycling centre.
[01:25.50]but never quite seem to get round to!
[01:29.76]3.The customised saloon car
[01:34.51]The typical driver of this kind of car is still in his teens.
[01:41.46]tends to have terrible spots and has only just started shaving,
[01:47.83]but his parents have bought him a car.
[01:52.80]It may only be a pathetic4 little Ford5 Escort6 or something like that,
[01:59.56]but he drivers it as if it's a Formula7 One car,
[02:04.92]racing up and down the local high street with his friends.
[02:10.77]all of whom spend most of their time and money
[02:15.81]buying new lights and bigger wheels for their precious cars-
[02:21.37]which they call' motors'or my wheels'.
[02:27.25]4.The car  with tinted8 windows
[02:32.11]There are some cars that you feel before you see.
[02:37.57]as the bass9 from their car stereos10 is so unbelievably loud
[02:44.52]that your windows start to shake
[02:48.78]and things fall from your shelves as they make their way up the road towards you.
[02:55.15]When you do finally see them.
[02:59.51]they're nearly always the same-BMWs or Mercedes.
[03:05.99]which are either open-topped or have tinted windows,
[03:11.45]and are driven by macho men wearing sunglasses.
[03:17.09]gold chains and designer sportswear.
[03:21.95]5.The big Harley Davidson
[03:26.63]The typical Harley rider is usually in his mid-forties.
[03:32.79]He's going bald and he's getting increasingly11 fat.
[03:38.15]Women have stopped looking at him (if they ever did)
[03:43.71]He wakes up one morning and suddenly realises I'm going to diel!
[03:49.88]but instead of spending more time with his wife and kids.
[03:55.65]he buys a twenty-thousand-pound Harley Davidson-customised,of course-
[04:02.60]and then he rides around,desperately trying to pretend he's still young.
[04:08.84]Of course,he usually only goes round town at 30 kph.
[04:15.37]just in case he gets too excited and has a heart attack!
[04:20.83]6.The people carrier12
[04:25.51]People carriers13 are usually driven by middle-class mums,
[04:31.26]who use them to take their kids on their eight-minute drive to school.
[04:37.29]They tend to have a sticker in the back window saying Baby on Board!
[04:43.64]no matter how old the children are.The funny thing is,
[04:49.70]these kinds of drivers say that the only reason they drive their kids to school
[04:56.25]is because there are so many cars on the roads these days
[05:01.51]that they're worried their children would get hit by one if they let them walk!
[05:07.25]Comparatives and superlatives
[05:21.41]When do you want to eat,then?
[05:26.14]The sooner.the better,I'm starving.
[05:31.28]Where were you thinking of going?Did you have anywhere special in mind?
[05:37.53]Well,I was thinking of this place just round the corner,actually.
[05:43.69]it's one of the best places to eat in town,
[05:48.42]but it depends on how much you want to spend.It is quite expensive.
[05:54.98]Well,I'm a bit short of money at the moments.so the cheaper,the better,to be honest.
[06:02.14]OK.well,
[06:05.37]in that case.there's a nice little cafe on the other side of town we could go to,
[06:11.54]but we will have to get a bus.Is that going to take a long time.
[06:17.99]No.it shouldn't be too bad.There's a bus that goes straight there now.
[06:24.16]almost non-stop.It's much better than it used to be.
[06:29.43]You used to have to go a really roundabout way.
[06:34.61]OK.so shall we go,then?
[06:38.97]Yeah,Let me just get my things together and then we'll be off.
[06:44.82]Listening
[06:58.46]Journey 1
[07:01.93]Jimmie!Jimmie!
[07:05.69]Oh,there you are,Hi,How are you?
[07:11.86]Fine,fine,How're you?How was your journey?
[07:17.13]Terrible!Really,it was just awful!
[07:22.10]Really?Because you're here on time.Yeah,well,
[07:27.14]that wasn't the problem,It's actually quite a fast line.
[07:33.41]No.the thing was,it was just so crowded that I had to stand up all the way here.
[07:41.77]Oh,no,poor you.That's two hours,isn't it?
[07:47.51]Two and a half actually
[07:51.67]and it felt like much longer because I was stuck next to about seventy football fans
[07:59.03]all smoking and drinking and shouting at everyone who walked past.It was horrible.
[08:06.61]Oh,no.That must've been the big game that was on in Coventry today.
[08:12.77]Yeah,maybe.I didn't really ask them too much about which club they supported!
[08:20.22]Journey  2
[08:23.27]Oh,there you are!I was starting to get worried about you!
[08:30.72]I thought you might've missed the flight or something.
[08:35.87]How are you?Come in.Come in.
[08:40.41]No.no.We caught the flight OK,
[08:44.64]it was just that it was delayed by about two hours before take-off because of the weather.
[08:52.30]Oh,dear!Was it a bit of a bumpy14 flight,then?
[08:57.47]Yeah,It was awful!I really thought we were going to crash at one point.
[09:03.82]Oh,no.I must say,I hate flying at the best of times,
[09:10.09]let alone when it gets like that.I know!
[09:14.95]Anywaywe got here in one piece,
[09:19.31]but then they managed to lose one of our bags somehow,so
[09:24.77]we had to wait around for an hour or so while they tried to locate it.
[09:30.51]And did they find it?Yeah-on board a flight to Peru!
[09:36.47]They're not going to be able to return it until Tuesday or Wednesday.they said!
[09:43.03]So how did you get from Gatwick to here?Did you get the train?
[09:50.11]No.we were so tired and fed up once we got in that we decided15 to take a cab16.
[09:57.55]It was fifty pounds.Does that sound about right?
[10:03.30]Fifty pounds?!That's twice the price it should've been.I'm afraid.
[10:10.35]I hope you got their number.
