1. Taxi Ride.MP3

• Passenger : Hey taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over.

• Driver : Where to?

• Passenger : Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and...

• Driver : Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on.

• Passenger : Excuse me. how long dose it take to get there?

• Driver : Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes for the average driver. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art^[각주:1]. So we should be able to cruise^[각주:2] through traffic and get there in less than 12 minutes.

• Passenger : Okay. Uh, sorry for  asking, but do you have any idea how much the fare will be?

• Driver : Umm... It shouldn't be more than 18 dollars. Not including a tip of course.

• Passenger : Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes?

• Driver : Well, I would guess around 6 O'clock.

• Passenger : Do you have the time?

• Driver : Yes, It's half past four.

• Passenger : Thanks.

• Driver : Uh, this is your first time to the city, right?

• Passenger : Yeah. How did you know?

• Driver : Well, You can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers.

• Passenger : Was it that obvious?

• Driver : Well.

• Passenger : Before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals and a reasonable price?

• Driver : Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know but the decor is very authentic^[각주:3]. And the portions^[각주:4] are larger than most places I've been to. 

• Passenger : Sounds great. How do I get there from the museum?

• Driver : Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often.

• Passenger : Okay. Thanks.
