Paul: Betty, can't you go faster? We will miss
the train if you don't hurry up.
Betty: I know, know… but this bag is so heavy.
It seems to be filled with encyclopedias.
Paul: I told you not to take so many things.
Betty: You are always right, aren't you?... How
much time do we have before the train departure?
Paul: About 20 minutes. Will we go by bus?
Betty: Oh, no. We don't have any time to wait
for it. Let's take a taxi!
Paul: Look, the taxi is standing at the corner of
the street. Go faster!
Betty to the driver: To the railway station,
please!
Driver: OK
Paul: How long will it take to get there? We
are being late.
Driver: Oh, at this time of day, traffic is not
very heavy. It shouldn't take long… about 15 minutes.
Betty: What will the fare be?
Driver: About twenty five dollars.
Paul: Let's
hope there will be no traffic jams and we will catch the train!
