TEXT I
TAKEN FOR A RIDE
I love traveling in the country, but I don't like losing my way. I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected. "I'm going to Woodford green ,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus ," but 1 don't know where it is."' I'll tell you where to get off," answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking round, I realize with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus. "You'll have to get off here", the conductor said. "This is as far as we go". "Is this Woodford Green?”, I asked "oh Dear, "said the conductor suddenly, " I forgot to put you off' . " It doesn't matter," I said" I'll get off here". We are going back now," said the conductor. Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus," I answered.
