a: how long will it take us to drive to london?
b; i think it’s a distance of 180 kilometers from here to london, so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway.
a; that’s unless there is a traffic jam. it could take three hours.
b; you’re right. we will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey, because we will be in built-up area.
a: so, shall we allow three hours to cover the distance?
b; ok. you haven’t seen my company car, have you?
a; no. let me take a look….it’s longer than my car.
b: i think it’s over five meters long. i can’t remember exactly. it has a maximum speed of over 200 kilometers an hour.
a; wow! that’s fast! i don’t think we will be traveling that fast on the motorway.
b; we can’t. if we went that fast, we would break the speed limit.

a: how are the children doing at sport?
b: i’m very pleased with their perfomp3ances. timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds. that’s very fast for a kid his age.
a: he’s not very good at the long jump though, is he?
b; he’s not bad. he can jump a distance of over four meters. i think he just prefers running to jumping. jimmy’s very good at the high jump. he can jump over two meters. again, that’s fine for someone his age.
a; two meters? that means that the high jump bar is above his head! are any of them good at long-distance running?
b: the longest race we run is the 1500 meters. a few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes.
a: how are they at swimming?
b; they’re ok. i ask them to swim 500 meters each day. that’s 20 lengths of the swimming pool. they’re not very fast, but that’s ok. i just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape.
a; kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters.
b: i’d be afraid to jump from that height!
a: i think that these kinds haven’t learnt to be afraid yet. she started diving from a lower height, but she soon wanted to go higher.
b; it seems that they really enjoy to go faster, higher and further.
