TAILIEUCHUNG - A complete English language course part 7

I have made sparing use of the IPA phonetic alphabet (and in a broad rather than narrow transcription) where I have thought the disparity between the spelling of common words and their pronun-ciation warranted it; and I have listed the IPA symbols and combin-ations of svmbols at the front of the book for reference. | 44 get in Get in the car boys enter vehicle get out Let s get out of here leave go away get away The thieves tried to get away escape Life and living - a trip down the high street If you re too shy to ask the way or if you re simply not pushed for time you can get to know where everything is in town by having a look round and keeping your eyes open. Let s take a short walk down a typical high street shall we I ll lead the way and we ll see if we can spot any useful or interesting places. 45 Over here on the left on our side of the street is the supermarket and right next to it there s the post office - every town has one of these somewhere and you can tell it by its red sign. Over there on the other side of the street you can see some smaller shops there s a newsagent s on the corner and a couple of cafes - we might go in one of those later for a cup of tea . what do you think Further down on the right is the bus station and just behind that you can probably just see the sports and leisure centre which is open to everyone you can often find private sports and health clubs in towns as well - they re smaller and you have to pay to be a member. Now - can you see that big old building coming up on the left opposite the bus station That s the public library. Actually that reminds me - I ve got to take some books back there today or tomorrow otherwise I ll get a fine. Anyway just a bit further on there are two banks one on either side of the street and then you can see some traffic lights. Then there are some more small shops just past the lights including a butcher s and a greengrocer s and some Indian and Chinese restaurants. Then if we stop here outside the pub and look straight ahead that building in the distance is the railway station - it s about a ten-minute walk from the town centre. There we are - a typical British high street. So now let s go back the way we came - I think I could do with that cup of tea now. Glossary shy - afraid to talk to people pushed for .
