or listen to a slower version here: https://www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Getting-to-work-25pc-slower.mp3

Man: Hi! Sorry I’m late. Woman: It’s half past! You were supposed to be here at nine o’clock! Man: Sorry. I took the wrong bus, and then we got stuck in traffic. Woman: How did you take the wrong bus? Man: I don’t take the bus every day, and I just got confused and got on the wrong one. Woman: But I thought you drove to work? Man: No, normally I cycle, but my bike’s in the shop at the moment. Woman: Why? What’s wrong with it? Man: I got a flat tire the other day. Woman: Well, don’t worry about it. These things happen! Man: Thanks. It won’t happen again. Woman: Actually, I was thinking of cycling to work. How long does it take you? Man: Normally it takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on how fast you ride. Woman: It’s a bit cold at the moment. Maybe I’ll wait a month or two…

Getting to Work – exercise 1 Listening skill: predicting the next word

When there’s one word you don’t hear, how well can you guess what it is? If you understand all the words just before it, it should be quite easy! Every time you say a word, the context and grammar create limits for what the next word could be. There’s often only one option!

Listen to five sentences from the dialogue. Each time the last word has been removed. Can you guess what it is?

Getting to Work – exercise 2 Comprehension: following the conversation

Many learners find listening difficult because they’re trying to remember the meaning of all the words, which requires a lot of concentration. The risk is that you forget to just listen and try to recognise the words. This exercise trains you to focus on the sound of the words, not the meaning.

Listen to the full dialogue and put the sentences from exercise 1 in the order they are used by the speakers.

Thank you for the provided phrases and words. I would also like to see a short dialogue or common phrases when someone got lost in a city or trying to get somewhere, so that there should be various options for speaking about traveling ina city

Hi Tatyana, thanks for your comment. A dialogue like this is a great suggestion. We will looks to add something like this to the travel and transport page soon. In the meantime, you might find our directions page useful, as this contains phrases for asking for directions when travelling in a city.

General English

General English is a loose term used to describe the type of English‏‎ required for everyday situations. You develop communicative competence for social and work-related environments through interactive activities simulating real-life situations. Language skills addressed include: listening, fluency development, oral intelligibility, reading, grammar, writing, and vocabulary development.
To build your vocabulary and develop your English communication skills, practice and study are essential. Working through practice activities and regularly reviewing the new language you learn can help you accelerate your knowledge and understanding of English. Regular and consistent practice is the key to success when it comes to speaking English.
The main aim of these ESL conversation worksheets is to promote English fluency by presenting students with stimulating discussion questions. All ESL conversation worksheets are designed for use with students who have reached Pre-Intermediate level, though they are also very successful with Intermediate and more advanced students. Here you’ll find a wide range of topics that will get your classroom chatting. Students will be able to ask well-structured, relevant questions, hold a conversation with one another, and formulate and express their opinions. Speaking practice is arguably one of the best methods for students to acquire a second language and conversation is a great way to practice speaking the language in a non-intimidating way.

Listening Practice Through Dictation

Across Canada

W:   I’m so excited! I just got back from the travel agency. M:   Travel agency? Where are you going? W:   I’m planning to go to Canada on vacation. M:   Canada! How exciting! How long are you going for? W:   I’m going for a month. I want to see as much as I can! M:   You are so lucky! What places are you going to visit? W:   First, I’ll spend a few days in Vancouver. Then I’ll take a train through the Rocky Mountains. M:   Oh, you’re riding through the Rockies! That’s really exciting! W:   Then I’ll fly to Toronto, and take a bus to Niagara Falls. Did you know that you can actually take a boat under that huge waterfall? It’s called Maid of the Mist. M:   Wow! That’s an amazing thing to do! You’re so lucky! W:   Well, I hope I don’t get seasick! I’ll finish my trip in Nova Scotia. I want to eat lobster for dinner every night. And I’d like to bike around some small fishing villages, too. M:   Have a great time, and take lots of pictures!

A Trip to Europe

G :   Where are you going on vacation this year, Andre? B :   I’m going to Europe with my parents. We’re going to take a tour of France, Italy, and Germany. G :   Oh! That will be such fun! How long will you be gone? B :   Three weeks. We’re going in the summer, so I won’t miss any school. G :   What will you do there? B :   We’re going to visit historical sites, like the Coliseum in Rome. We’ll also see famous museums, like the Louvre in Paris. And, of course, we’re going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. G :   How will you travel from one country to another? B :   There’s a famous train that goes all over Europe. It’s called the Eurorail. G :   I wish I could go with you! My family is going to the seashore again, just like last year. I’d like to go somewhere I’ve never been. B :   Don’t worry, Julie. I will take lots of pictures, and I’ll buy you a souvenir. G :   Thank you! I’ll collect some seashells from the beach for you. B :   Thanks!

B :   Hi, I haven’t seen you for two whole weeks! Where did you go on your vacation? G :   I visited my cousin in New Mexico. I had a great time! B :   Mexico? I thought you went to the US. G :   I did. New Mexico is a state in the southwestern US. It’s between Texas and Arizona. Guess what? A lot of Americans don’t know that New Mexico is a state. The license plates on cars in New Mexico also say “USA.” This is so that people don’t get confused and think the driver is from Mexico. B :   That’s funny! So, tell me what you did in New Mexico. G :   My favorite part was visiting Carlsbad Caverns. There are 30 miles of caves! In one cave, we had to wear hats with lights on them so we could see in the dark. Sometimes we had to crawl through very narrow tunnels on our hands and knees. B :   Weren’t you scared? G :   No, it was a lot of fun! I’m going to visit my cousin again next year. You should come with me!

A Good Way to Travel

M:   Traveling is a good hobby. If you have very little money, backpacking is a good way to travel. Many students like to backpack. They can travel cheaply. They can travel to many places. These travelers carry their belongings in large backpacks. They are called backpackers. Backpackers take buses or trains to save money. They camp outdoors to sleep. If they stay in a city, they may go to a hostel. A hostel is like a hotel. Hotels are not cheap. Hostels are very cheap. Travelers often share rooms at hostels. There are only a few toilets and baths. People share them, too. Hostels are a good place to meet other travelers. You can make friends. They can tell you about fun things to do in the area. Many hostels have kitchens. These kitchens have stoves. Some have toasters. You can buy your food from a store. Then, you can cook at the hostel. This is cheaper than eating out. Just remember to clean up when you are done!

A Train Announcement

W:   Welcome on board the TGV 740. We are now leaving Paris. We will arrive in Marseilles at 3:00 p.m. We offer free beverages in each car. Please have as much coffee, tea, or soft drinks as you wish. There is a restaurant on the train. You may purchase a meal there during the trip. The restaurant is in car 11. We will make two stops on this trip. We will pick up passengers in Provence and Dijon. Passengers changing trains can ask the attendant for a free timetable. This will help you with your onward trip. Please note that smoking is only permitted in cars 15 and 23. Newspapers are given to all passengers. Mobile phones and the Internet may be used in cars 18 and 25. If you need assistance, please press the button near your seat to contact a cabin attendant. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip. We are pleased to have you on board. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

Europe’s airports join call for more EU budget for transport

ACI Europe

Fully decarbonising air transport by 2050 will require funding in excess of 820 billion euros.

BRUSSELS – As the Connecting Europe Days event takes place in Brussels this week, under the Belgian Presidency of the European Union, 40+ European transport organisations, representing the key spectrum of Europe’s transport network, are again joining forces to urge the Council and the European Parliament to increase the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) budget for transport in the upcoming review of the Multi-Annual Financial Framework.

As one of the 40 organisations in the CEF transport coalition, ACI Europe calls for more EU budget to be dedicated to transport, with a particular focus on airports and the broader air transport sector.

Olivier Jankovec , ACI Europe Director General commented “ Greater EU financing is a prerequisite for the sector’s ability to decarbonise by 2050. There is no escaping that transport modes incurring harder-to-abate emissions, such as aviation, do require more policy and financial support commensurate to the challenge they face. While ACI EUROPE joins the wider transport sector’s call for more EU budget for transport, we believe that there should also be a fairer allocation of the funds amongst different transport modes.”

According to the independent study from the consultancies SEO Amsterdam Economics (SEO) and the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) commissioned by the DESTINATION 2050 alliance , fully decarbonising air transport by 2050 will require funding in excess of 820 billion euros. Whilst aviation stakeholders are fully committed to the objectives of the EU Green Deal, and have embraced the Fit for 55 legislative package, the sector will not be able to go it alone in financing its transition. A successful, on-time decarbonisation requires sufficient access to finance and public investments, which in turn depend on supportive and fully aligned policies.

The investment needs of airports should be considered as a matter of priority. Europe’s airports did not benefit from the same level of support during the COVID-19 crisis at national level compared to other stakeholders. As a result, they had no choice but to pile on debt, which still remains close to 40bn euros higher than pre-pandemic levels. This has led to a significant reduction in capital expenditure – with airports investments reduced by 27 billion euros compared to plans over 2022-2024. All of this at a time when financing decarbonisation, digitalisation, resilience, service quality and capacity has never been more crucial for the well-functioning of European air transport sector and its ability to continue delivering value to European citizens. Europe now faces a looming airport investment crunch, as financing needs are estimated at 360 billion euros by 2040.

If Europe is to strengthen its resilience, be a leader in the transformation to net-zero economy and finally complete the Trans-European Transport Network, it must translate its words into deeds and reflect these ambitions in the new EU budget for transport.
