expanding tactics for listening, 17- listening 3

17- listening 3

1. It was a pretty bad snowstorm and the roads weren't in very good condition. I guess I was driving a little too fast and I went into a skid. I couldn't control the car at all! I went off the side of the road and into the snow. Luckily the car wasn't damaged and I wasn't hurt, but I couldn't get the car to move. I just had to stay in it and wait for the tow truck. Finally, after about half an hour, the tow truck arrived and pulled me out.

2. Yeah, it was pretty scary. We ran into a bad storm and the plane really bumped around. The passengers were pretty scared. and of course all the kids were screaming and crying. It lasted for only 10 minutes, but those 10 minutes felt like an hour! I don't know how the pilot got the airplane out of that storm, but he finally did. And the rest of the flight was perfect.

3. All I wanted was to get the newspaper. You know how some hotels leave it in front of your door in the morning? Anyway, I stepped out of the room to get it, but the door shut behind me. I tried to open it, but it was locked, and my key was inside the room! I was in my pajamas! Luckily for me, someone from housekeeping came by. and she had a key.

4. We were staying in this hotel in Thailand when there was a fire. I was so scared when I heard the fire alarm go off! We got out of the hotel as quickly as we could. The hotel was badly damaged, and some people lost their clothes and money. Fortunately, we were lucky. No guests or staff members were injured.

5. I was out shopping with a friend when I saw some kids selling raffle tickets to raise money for a charity. It was for a really good cause, so I bought a ticket. I didn't think much more about it. But in the end, I won first prize! It was a good prize, too—a weekend trip for two to New York City!

6. I was at a restaurant with my wife when this famous movie star sat down at the table next to us. I couldn't believe it! I wanted to ask him for his autograph, but my wife said I should let the man have his dinner in peace. Later, when my wife was in the rest room, I asked the waitress if she would ask the movie star to sign my menu. And believe it or not, he did!
