Track 3-2-1
A.  Carson and Jenna are looking for a vacation rental home. Listen. Circle the one they choose.
Jenna: OK, I think we have two choices. The first place is a little house. It's located in a fruit orchard.
Carson: Really?
Jenna: Yeah. And you can eat as much fruit as you want. When it's in season, of course. Oh…but wait. It says there’s no air conditioner.
Carson: That’s OK. It’s on the rainy side of the island. It’s cooler there. We can use a fan.
Jenna: You’re probably right…Say. It looks pretty basic. No washing machine or dryer…not even a TV!
Carson: Oh no! What are we going to do without a TV? That's terrible!
Jenna:  Very funny. I'm just letting you know about the place.
Carson:  I know. What's our second choice?
Jenna:  It's on the opposite side—the sunny side—of the island. Very fancy place with a big swimming pool. It s only three blocks from the ocean.
Carson:  Who needs a swimming pool? I mean, it's only three blocks.
Jenna:  I see your point. Well, the pool area also has barbecue grills, beautiful gardens…
Carson:  You like the second place better. I can tell.
Jenna:  Well, it does have everything. Washing machine, dryer, TV, VCR, frying pan…
Carson:  All we need is a toothbrush and a swimsuit…Let's go with the second choice.
Jenna: OK. I'll call them right now and reserve it. I can t wait to go!

Ashley: Excuse me. I’m trying to get to the City Zoo.
Jose: Oh, let me think… OK, um, how are you getting there.
Ashley: I want to drive, if it’s convenient.
Jose: Well, the directions are easy. See that road over there?
Ashley: Yes.
Jose: That’s the second Avenue. Just go straight down Second and turn left at the traffic light.
Ashley: OK.
Jose: You’ll be on Church Avenue and it goes straight to the zoo.
Ashley: Oh, so it’s not too far.
Jose: No, but the traffic is usually heavy. And I don’t think the zoo has many parking spaces
available for cars.
Ashley: Hmm.
Jose: Maybe you should take the subway.
Ashley: Where do I catch it?
Jose: There’s a subway entrance right in front of the park. Take the red line three stops. Get off at the City Zoo stop. It’s pretty obvious.
Ashley: Thanks a lot.
Jose: No problem.
Ashley: Oh, wait. One more thing. How much does the subway cost?
Jose: Two dollars.

Track 3-2-OL-4
B. Listen to a talk about ways to improve life
in the city. Then fill in the blanks with information you hear.
There are several ways to improve life in my city. Our biggest problem is transportation we really need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safe places for bicycling and walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children cay play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theatre for plays and concerts.
