Listening Practice 4

Emily: Hey, Sam. What are you looking at?

Sam: Hey, Emily. These are pictures from my vacation in Thailand. We did so much sightseeing!

Emily: Whoa! What is that thing?

Sam: That is a tuk-tuk. They are used as taxis all over Southeast Asia.

Emily: That doesn’t look like a normal taxi.

Sam: It isn’t. It is a 3-wheeled motorcycle with a seat.

Emily: It looks fun to ride in.

Sam: Yeah, it is. We hired a tuk-tuk for a whole day when we were in Bangkok. It doesn’t travel that fast, but it was a cool experience.

Emily: How fast can it travel?

Sam: They go around 35 kilometers an hour.

Emily: Well, it sounds wonderful! I would like to ride in one too.

Sam: Yeah, it was. The driver was really nice as well.
