A: how long will it take us to drive to London? B; I think it’s a distance of 180 kilometers from here to London, so it should be a two-hour drive onthe motorway. A; that’s unless there is a traffic jam. It could take three hours. B; you’re right. We will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey,because we will be in built-up area. A: so, shall we allow three hours to cover the distance? B; ok. You haven’t seen my company car, have you? A; no. let me take a look….it’s longer than my car. B: I think it’s over five meters long. I can’t remember exactly. It has a maximum speed of over 200kilometers an hour. A; wow! That’s fast! I don’t think we will be traveling that fast on the motorway. B; we can’t. if we went that fast, we would break the speed limit. Intermediate A: how are the children doing at sport? B: I’m very pleased with their performances. Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds.That’s very fast for a kid his age. A: he’s not very good at the long jump though, is he? B; he’s not bad. He can jump a distance of over four meters. I think he just prefers running tojumping. Jimmy’s very good at the high jump. He can jump over two meters. Again, that’s fine forsomeone his age. |
