[00:21.52]I love travelling in the country, [00:24.19]but I don't like losing my way. [00:28.16]I went on an excursion recently, [00:31.19]but my trip took me longer than I expected. [00:36.08]'I'm going to Woodford Green,' [00:38.35]I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, [00:42.01]'but I don't know where it is.' [00:45.29]'I'll tell you where to get off.' [00:48.15]answered the conductor. [00:51.07]I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. [00:57.38]After some time, the bus stopped. [01:01.22]Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus. [01:08.92]'You'll have to get off here,' [01:11.05]the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.' [01:16.45]'Is this Woodford Green?' I asked. [01:19.92]'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly. [01:25.84]'I forgot to put you off.' [01:29.34]'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.' [01:35.12]'We're going back now,' said the conductor. [01:39.31]'Well, in that case, [01:41.11]I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.
