Listening Review 5

Dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago. Nobody knows for sure how they became extinct, but we do know a lot about them. Some of them were huge, dangerous reptiles with sharp, deadly teeth, and others were small, gentler species. There were hundreds of dinosaur species that lived in both cold and tropical areas of the world. Although we don’t know what made them die off, researchers keep studying their fossils to find out.

Unit 13
Listening Practice 1

Lisa: How do you get to school, Craig?

Craig: Hey, Lisa. I go on foot. I walk almost everywhere, actually. I walk to school and the park; I even walk to your house. It is fun, a good way to exercise, and I can enjoy the fresh air. What about you?

Lisa: Well, I also go to school on foot, but not because I like it. My mom won’t drive me because there is always a big traffic jam in the morning. I want to go by bicycle, but my school doesn’t have enough bike racks.

Craig: My school has lots of bike racks, but my mom does not let me ride a bicycle. She thinks it is too dangerous.

Lisa: It is a lot safer if you wear a helmet and kneepads.

Craig: But I hate those things; they make me look goofy!

Lisa: It’s better than getting hurt, Craig!
