Dialogue: M: Hi, Amy. W: Hi. M: You look great! Have you been on vacation? W: Yeah, I have. I was on the West Coast. M: Nice! How was it? W: Great. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from work. M: Where did you go? W: Los Angeles and San Francisco. M: How did you like Los Angeles? W: Well, it is cleaner than I thought it would be, and there are a lot of trees, so I like it better than I thought I would. But it's huge! It's really hard to get around. The bus service is terrible, and you know, I don't like taking the underground. We had to rent a car. M: And was the weather good? W: Oh, yes, it was nice and warm in Los Angeles. M: What about San Francisco? W: The weather? It was cooler than LA, but it wasn't uncomfortable. M: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising. W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. And it was a problem because we didn't take any sweaters or anything like that, but it's always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It's probably the most beautiful city in the US-all those hills, the bay, and those magical old Victorian houses. M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles? W: Absolutely! And there's much more that you can see and do on foot! It's smaller than Los Angeles, so it's much easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, minibuses, too. Question: Why is it easy to get around in San Francisco? - Because it is smaller than Los Angeles and the transportation is good. - Because it has an underground system while Los Angeles doesn't. - Because it has a small population and a small number of buildings.

W: I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart. One device is a computerized map display and an artificial voice. You just enter the address for where you want to go and the voice will tell you how to get there,street by street. M: Hey, that's just like my brother. He never gets lost and he's always telling me the best route. So what else will the smart cars be able to do? W: Well, the article says there'll be a device with read-on warning systems that will warn drivers with a long signal if they're getting too close to other cars. And they will even put on brakes if the drivers don't. M: Tell me, Shelly. Will these cars be smart enough to fill themselves up with gas? W: Not by now. Why do you ask?
