Listening Practice 4

Nick: Grandma, what are you looking at?

Grandmother: Hi, Nick. It’s an old photo of my grandfather.

Nick: Whoa. That was a long time ago. Why are there no cars in the street?

Grandmother: There weren’t any cars at that time.

Nick: Then how did people get around?

Grandmother: They traveled by horse, donkey, cattle, and other animals.

Nick: How did they move big things like furniture?

Grandmother: They used wagons for that.

Nick: What is a wagon?

Grandmother: It is a cart with four wheels pulled by an animal.

Nick: What if people needed to go a long way?

Grandmother: Then they took trains or ships.

Nick: It must have taken a long time to get from one place to another.

Grandmother: It did. That is why people did not travel as much as they do now.
