Listening Practice 1

Justin: Hey, Tina. When did you get back from Europe?

Tina: Hi, Justin. I came back yesterday. I am still pretty tired from the long flight.

Justin: How long was it? Seven hours?

Tina: It was eight actually.

Justin: Man! I could never sit on a plane for eight hours. Did you have a lot of long flights while you were traveling?

Tina: Not really. We just bought a round-trip ticket to England and back. We didn’t fly at all inside Europe.

Justin: But I heard you went to four countries. How did you travel and do all your sightseeing?

Tina: We took trains. Europe has a great train system.

Justin: Oh, yeah. I heard they have a lot of high-speed trains. Is that right?

Tina: Yeah, some can travel up to 300 kilometers an hour.

Justin: Wow. I took a high-speed train when I visited Korea last year. It was amazing!

Tina: I bet. I love trains! It is too bad we don’t have a better train system here in America.

Justin: I know! That would make life a lot easier.
