Tapescript unit 3: Listen
At 6.30 in the morning, the bus collected BA and his father from their home. After
picking everyone up, the bus continued north on Highway Number 1. It crossed the
Dragon Bridge and stopped at the gas station to get some more fuel. Then, it left the
highway and turned left onto a smaller road westward. This road ran between green
paddy fields, so the people on the bus could see a lot cows and buffaloes. The road ended
before a big store beside a pond. Instead of turning left towards a small airport, the bus
went in the opposite direction. It didn’t stay on that road for very long, but turn left onto
the road which went through a small bamboo forest. Finally, the bus dropped everyone
off at the parking lot ten meters from a big old banyan tree. It parked there and waited for
people to come back in the evening.
