Paul: Betty, can't you go faster? We will miss the train if you don't hurry up. Betty: I know, know… but this bag is so heavy. It seems to be filled with encyclopedias. Paul: I told you not to take so many things. Betty: You are always right, aren't you?... How much time do we have before the train departure? Paul: About 20 minutes. Will we go by bus? Betty: Oh, no. We don't have any time to wait for it. Let's take a taxi! Paul: Look, the taxi is standing at the corner of the street. Go faster! Betty to the driver: To the railway station, please! Driver: OK Paul: How long will it take to get there? We are being late. Driver: Oh, at this time of day, traffic is not very heavy. It shouldn't take long… about 15 minutes. Betty: What will the fare be? Driver: About twenty five dollars. Paul: Let's hope there will be no traffic jams and we will catch the train!
