SCRIPT
Marie: So, Mrs. Beatty, we should talk about your safari trip
to Botswana.
Mrs. Beatty: I’m so excited! My first time in Africa!
Marie: You’re going to be flying into Johannesburg, South
Africa. Would you like a window or an aisle?
Mrs. Beatty: A window. I want to see everything.
Marie: In Johannesburg you should take a taxi or a limo to
your hotel. The next day you could fly or you could take a
train to Francistown in Botswana.
Mrs. Beatty: Is it an express train?
Marie: Yes.
Mrs. Beatty: I’ll take the train. I’d like to see the country
Marie: Great. Then after you see Francistown, you can take a
small plane or a bus to the Okavango Delta.
Mrs. Beatty: How small is the airplane?
Marie: It’s pretty small.
Mrs. Beatty: I’ll take the bus. Is it an express bus?
Marie: I think so. When you get to Gumare, you’re
going to be taking a boat to your hotel.
Mrs. Beatty: A boat?
Marie: The hotel is on an island. When you get to
the island, a man with a donkey can take your
luggage to the hotel.
Mrs. Beatty: A donkey?
Marie: There are no cars on the island.
Mrs. Beatty: Is it an express donkey?
Marie: I think it’s probably a local donkey. Of
course, if you don’t want the donkey, you could
take a small plane – it goes straight to the hotel.
Mrs. Beatty: I think I should take the donkey.
Donkeys never have mechanical problems, right?

time, when I go to school, as well as working. I think
that not only me but also a lot of people like to ride
motorbikes like me. In short, motorcycle is the most
