研究生英语口语期末考试听力对话

Lesson 1 listening1

A: how do you think the transport system in our city could be improved.

B: I think that the road

building system could be made simpler. I never know where the bus routes

actually go. The routes seem to twist and turn rather than going roughly in a straight line.

A: I think we just need to build more roads. Then there would be more space

for cars to drive and we‟d have fewer traffic jams.

B: if we built more roads, people would just fill them with cars again. I think we shou ld discourage people from using their cars.

A; how would you do that?

B; I think we should do a few things at once. Improving road

building would encourage people to use that. If we also charge people to use

their cars in the city centre, they won‟t use their cars as much.

A; I don‟t know. I think it‟s unfair to make drivers pay more money. They

already pay a lot of tax-petrol tax, for example.

B; I think that they should pay more tax. Look at the damage they cause to the enviro nment and people‟s health by discharging all those exhaust fumes.

A; the air would certainly be cleaner if there were fewer cars being used in the city. T he problem is that people will see it as reducing their freedom. It well

be unpopular.

B; that‟s a good point. Car owners will probably be against it, but people who use roa d building will be in favor of it.

A: do you think we should travel by bus or by train?

B;it‟s a difficult choice. The train is a litter faster, but much more expensive.

A; we could face delays if we travel by bus, thanks to traffic jams.

B; buses are more cramped and you can‟t walk around.

A; that‟s true, but I feel that I see more when I travel by bus.

B; really? I think you see more traveling by train.

A:so, which form of transport do you prefer to use?

B:I prefer going by train, ever though it costs more.

A:ok them. We‟ll go by train. I‟m sure we‟ll have a good journey. Shall we go to the s tation and buy the tickets?

B: the train aren‟t usually full. We can get them on the day we travel. We should buy return ticket because they are much cheaper than getting two singles.

A; we should take a packed lunch on the journey. The food they sell on the trains is al ways expensive.

Lesson 1 listening2
