developing tactics for listening, 2- listening 3

2- listening 3

1. I hate using taxis here. The drivers drive too fast and really dangerously. And they're often rude. The cars are mostly in pretty poor condition. But what I hate the most is that they aren't air-conditioned. It's so hot here. They really need air-conditioned taxis. By the time I arrive somewhere, I feel really hot and uncomfortable.

2. I've taken quite a few taxi rides recently. I've never had any big problems using taxis here. They're usually clean, and the cars are pretty new. The prices are good, too. The thing I like most. though, is the drivers. They drive very carefully, and I think that's very important.

3. I find that taxis here are okay. They're pretty comfortable. Most of the cars they use are new, and they keep them pretty clean. They're a little expensive, though. I paid $75 to come from the airport. That's too expensive. I guess the thing I hate the most, though, is that the drivers don't speak English very well. It's very difficult to explain to them where you want to go.

4. The taxis here are okay, I guess. The drivers take credit cards. That's the thing I like most about them. It's really convenient. But the taxis are pretty old. so they're not very comfortable. Half of them don't have seat belts or air conditioning.

1. I hate using taxis here. The drivers drive too fast and really dangerously. Les conducteurs roulent trop vite et de manière vraiment dangereuse. And they're often rude. Et ils sont souvent impolis. The cars are mostly in pretty poor condition. Les voitures sont pour la plupart en très mauvais état. But what I hate the most is that they aren't air-conditioned. Mais ce que je déteste le plus, c'est qu'ils ne sont pas climatisés. It's so hot here. Il fait si chaud ici. They really need air-conditioned taxis. Ils ont vraiment besoin de taxis climatisés. By the time I arrive somewhere, I feel really hot and uncomfortable. Lorsque j'arrive quelque part, j'ai très chaud et je me sens mal à l'aise.

2. I've taken quite a few taxi rides recently. J'ai fait pas mal de trajets en taxi ces derniers temps. I've never had any big problems using taxis here. They're usually clean, and the cars are pretty new. The prices are good, too. Les prix sont également intéressants. The thing I like most. Ce que j'aime le plus. though, is the drivers. Cependant, ce sont les conducteurs qui sont les plus importants. They drive very carefully, and I think that's very important. Ils conduisent très prudemment, et je pense que c'est très important.

3. I find that taxis here are okay. Je trouve que les taxis sont corrects. They're pretty comfortable. Ils sont assez confortables. Most of the cars they use are new, and they keep them pretty clean. La plupart des voitures qu'ils utilisent sont neuves, et ils les gardent assez propres. They're a little expensive, though. Ils sont cependant un peu chers. I paid $75 to come from the airport. J'ai payé 75 dollars pour venir de l'aéroport. That's too expensive. I guess the thing I hate the most, though, is that the drivers don't speak English very well. Ce que je déteste le plus, c'est que les chauffeurs ne parlent pas très bien anglais. It's very difficult to explain to them where you want to go. Il est très difficile de leur expliquer où l'on veut aller.

4. The taxis here are okay, I guess. Ici, les taxis sont corrects, je suppose. The drivers take credit cards. Les chauffeurs acceptent les cartes de crédit. That's the thing I like most about them. C'est ce que j'aime le plus chez eux. It's really convenient. C'est très pratique. But the taxis are pretty old. Mais les taxis sont très vieux. so they're not very comfortable. Ils ne sont donc pas très confortables. Half of them don't have seat belts or air conditioning. La moitié d'entre eux n'ont ni ceinture de sécurité ni climatisation.
