1. A: Are you going to take the bus downtown, or are you going to take your bike?

B: I think there's too much traffic on the road today to go by bike. It's not safe to ride in traffic.

A: I guess there's so much traffic because of the big football game. Well. look. I'm driving downtown. Can I give you a ride?

B: Hey, thanks.

A: So do you use your bike very often?

B: Not during the week, but I ride it pretty often on the weekend.

2. A: How are you going to get downtown? Are you going to drive?

B: I don't think so. I just heard the traffic report on the radio. It seems there is a traffic jam on the freeway. They said a couple of buses have broken down.

A: I guess it will be quicker to take the subway.

B: Absolutely!

3. A: Gosh. I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait for a bus. waited half an hour already! Do you think we should go back and get the car?

B: Oh, no. I hate driving at night.

A: Let's take a taxi. I don't want to be late for the movie.

B: Good idea. I'll call for one on my cell phone. They usually come pretty quickly.

4. A: How are you going to get home from the restaurant on Sunday, Harry?

B: Oh, I can just take a bus or a taxi. There are usually plenty of taxis around that area at night.

A: Yes. but not on a Sunday night. You might wait for a long time. Why don't you ask Kevin to drive you home? He's having dinner with us and he lives near you.

B: That's right. I'll ask him.

5. A: What's the traffic like downtown today? B: It's pretty bad. One of the traffic lights is broken, so all the traffic is backing up.

A: Oh. How should I get to my doctor's appointment? Drive? Take a taxi?

B: A taxi won't be any faster than driving.

A: Well then. I'll probably take the subway to the station and then walk from there.

B: Yeah, today I think that's the fastest way.

6. A: How do you plan to get to your friend's house? Do you need a ride?

B: How's the weather?

A: It's really nice out.

B: Oh. thanks anyway, but I'll ride my bike. I was going to take the bus, but I need to get some exercise.

A: All right. But be careful of the traffic.
