Now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is “City Traffic”. You'll have a picture (some pictures) showing two different types of transport.

Now here are your pictures.

[1 minute later]

Now, [ C1 ], would you please start first? [ C2 ] and [ C3 ], please put your pictures aside and listen to what [ C1 ] has to say.

[1.5 minutes later] OK. [ C2 ], now it's your turn.

[1.5 minutes later] OK, [ C3 ], and now it's your turn.
