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