LESSON THIRTEEN (13)
THIRTEENTH (13TH) LESSON

PART 1

A journey

 

We’re waiting to leave for Sussex. Dad's gone to collect the car he's hired. It's on the other side of London but the traffic's not too bad today. London's more crowded during the week than at weekends. Dad doesn't like traffic because he doesn't like driving slowly. He usually drives fast but carefully. Mum doesn't drive as well as Dad. She usually drives slowly but carelessly. She stops too suddenly and turns too quickly. She’s got to lean to drive smoothly.

I'm more comfortable with dad because he drives smoothly. I haven't learned to drive yet but Dad's going to teach me. I need a lot of help. I want to take my test soon and Simon wants to get a licence, too. He isn't as old as I am.

 

PART 2

Crowded roads

Mrs. Hunt What time is it?
Mr. Hunt A quarter to nine (8.45).
Mrs. Hunt And how far have we got to drive?
Mr. Hunt About seventy miles.
Mrs. Hunt The traffic's not very heavy. We're not going to be late.
Mr. Hunt Yes but we've got to hurry. The traffic's going to be heavier soon.
Mrs. Hunt Why?
Mr. Hunt Because today's Saturday. The roads are going to be very crowded.
Mrs. Hunt Are they going to be as crowded as the Swiss roads?

Mr. Hunt Oh yes. Some of them are going to be more crowded. The heaviest traffic's going to be on the A.22.
Mrs. Hunt Well, remember....

Mr. Hunt Yes, I know. I've got to be careful and I've got to drive slowly. Don't worry.
I always drive carefully.

 

Speed limits

Mrs. Hunt Guy, you've passed a policeman! Please drive slowly!
Mr. Hunt It's all right.
Mrs. Hunt No, it isn't. You've got to stop. The policeman's signalling you.
Mr. Hunt Oh dear! We're going to be late.
Policeman May I see your driving licence, please?
Mr. Hunt Yes, here it is.

Policeman Andyour insurance certificate.
Mr. Hunt
This is a hired car. Here's the form.
Policeman Right. Your speed's been sixty miles an hour for five miles. The speed limit's fifty on this road. It's a dangerous road.
Mrs. Hunt But you haven't stopped the faster cars.
Policeman That's right but I've stopped you. I'm not going to report you this time. But remember, drive carefully.

Mr. Hunt Have we lost a lot of time?
Mrs. Hunt No. It's only twenty to ten (9.40).

Mr. Hunt How far have we gone?

Mrs. Hunt About thirty-five miles.
Mr. Hunt That's not too bad.
Sheila Mr. Hunt, I want to go to the ladies. Would you mind stopping at the next garage you see?
Mr. Hunt That's a good idea, Sheila. The car needs some petrol and I need a drink of water.

Simon May I buy a bar of chocolate, Dad?
Mr. Hunt No, Simon. You don't need a bar of chocolate.

 

The garage

Attendant Can I help you?

Mr. Hunt Yes, I need some petrol and the girls want to use the ladies. Where is it?
Attendant The toilets are there. They can pick up the key in the office. What kind of petrol, sir?

Mr. Hunt I'm not sure. I don't need the most expensive kind you sell.
Attendant This one's not as expensive as the highest grade we sell. It's medium. You can't use the cheapest petrol in this car.
Mr. Hunt Four gallons of that one then.
Attendant Do you need oil?
Mr. Hunt I'm not sure. Would you mind checking the oil, water and tyres?
Attendant that's one pound thirty (£1.30), sir.
Mr. Hunt Have you checked the oil, water and tyres?
Attendant Yes, the oil's fine, the radiator's full and I've put a little air in the rear tyres.
Mr. Hunt Thank you.
Mrs. Hunt Please drive slowly, Guy. We've got lots of time.
Mr. Hunt What time is it now?
Mrs. Hunt Five past ten (10.05). We're going to arrive between twenty-five past ten
(10.25) and twenty-five to eleven (10.35).
Mr. Hunt Perfect!
