[00:01.120]--- Lesson 50 Taken for a ride
[00:07.400]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.400]--- Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?
[00:21.080]I love travelling in the country, but I don't like losing my way.
[00:27.720]I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.
[00:35.640]'I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus,'but I don't know where it is.'^“
[00:44.880]'I'll tell you where to get off.' answered the conductor.^“
[00:50.640]I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.
[00:56.920]After some time, the bus stopped.
[01:00.800]Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
[01:08.480]'You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.'^“
[01:15.880]'Is this Woodford Green?' I asked.^“
[01:19.520]'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly. 'I forgot to put you off.
[01:28.920]'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.
[01:34.680]'We're going back now,' said the conductor.^“
[01:38.560]'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.^“
