[00:00.00]Unit 17 Cars and cities

[00:05.09]2 While 1 you listen  More sleeping policemen!

[00:13.95]Did 2 you hear about that did who was 3 knocket down on Junction 6 Road the other day?

[00:21.21]Yes,it was awful,wasn’t it? Still,it’s hardly 8 surprising,is it?

[00:27.27]What do you mean?

[00:30.33]Well,there are always accidents 9 down there,aren’t there,

[00:35.29]especially with the speed 10 cars go at.

[00:39.73]And,well,basically,the crossing’s in the wrong place,isn’t?

[00:45.06]I don’t know why they’ve never moved it.

[00:49.53]I mean,it’d be better if it was exactly 11 opposite 12 the shops,wouldn’t it?

[00:55.59]Yes,I know what you mean.

[00:58.93]They could 14 do something to slow the traffic 15 down,couldn’t they?

[01:04.39]Maybe they could put sleeping policemen there or something like that.

[01:09.72]Yeah,maybe-maybe one every so often would 13 help,

[01:15.60]but what would be really great if if they had 16 one of those speed cameras.

[01:22.16]Bit Brother,you mean!

[01:25.63]No,they really make a difference 17.

[01:29.57]You should see how they’ve slowed the traffic down where my parents live.

[01:35.14]Yeah,I suppose 18 you’re right.

[01:38.66]I’m only against 19 them because I got 20 caught by one last month.

[01:43.94]You’re kidding!

[01:47.10]No.A hundred and fifty pounds 22 it cost 23 me!A fine and six penalty 24 points!

[01:53.87]Oh,that’s terrible 25!

[01:57.11]Yeah,but it was my own 5 silly 26 fault 27.

[02:01.65]I mean,I should’ve known 28 better,

[02:05.31]but going 29 back to what you were saying 30 about the crossing,you’re right.

[02:10.56]It would be far safer if it was closer to the shops,

[02:15.52]because that’s where everybody 31 crosses,you know.

[02:19.89]That’s where most kids 32 cross,so it’d be more sensible 33 if it was moved down.

[02:26.65]Yes,I think that’s the root 34 of the problem 35.

[02:31.33]I mean,it does seem 36 a funny place for a crossing.

[02:36.68]And I wouldn’ve said 37 the other problem with it is

[02:41.54]the fact 38 that lots of cars park all round there.

[02:46.40]Yes,that does make it difficult to see,I suppose.

[02:51.36]Apparently,the car that hit that kid 21 had just driven off 39 from there.

[02:56.72]Oh,really?Had it?Well,you see what I mean,then.

[03:02.60]4.Disagreeing 40

[03:15.34]Listen and check your answers.

[03:20.20]Well,I agree 41 up to a point,but(it’s not as 4 simple 42 as you think.)

[03:26.68]Yes,I know what you mean,but(it’s time we did something about it.)

[03:36.95]Yes,but don’t you think that (we should wait till 7 later 43?)

[03:46.32]Yes,but don’t forget that(everything costs 44 money).
