[00:01.28]1. W: I can't figure out what's wrong with my tape-recorder.
[00:04.78]It was just a few weeks ago that I got it repaired.

[00:10.81]It's a very old tape-recorder and is quite worn out.
[00:14.63]Q: What does the man mean?
[00:16.64]2. M: Oh, what a breakfast?

[00:40.28]M: I hope they taste as good as they look.
[00:42.66]Q: What does the man mean?

[00:49.53]nowhere when I was mopping the floor today.

[01:36.29]Q: What does the woman mean?

[03:38.78]Thousands of small marble monuments mark the graves of once beloved animal pets.
[03:44.76]Under them are buried such creatures as goldfish
[03:47.92]pigeons, rabbits, and birds, as well as cats and dogs.
[03:52.96]Many of the graves as cared for by the people who once owned these animals.

[04:44.74]The Mediterranean is a word both easy to pronounce and easy to spell--if you only know hot.
[04:51.56]It is a word of five syllables: me-di-ter-ran-ean, meaning mid-earth.
[04:57.56]The Chinese translation is a happy one
[05:00.54]as it means exactly the same thing.

[05:07.41]On its shores were the seats of early civilization:Egypt,Greece and Rome.

[05:16.48]and provided a highway for trade and diplomacy.

[05:29.07]Linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean.
[05:32.54]the Canal shortened the passage from Europe to Asia by some 10,000 kilometres.

[05:44.45]An ocean liner takes some 10 hours to go through.
[05:48.29]It goes slowly, but safely.
