北师大初中英语八年级上--Unit8 les29-2

[00:00.00]2.2 Last month,I went to Los Angeles
[00:08.94]to visit my friend Gavin.
[00:11.40]I traveled¹ there by train.
[00:14.12]The journey² was³ very beautiful,
[00:16.53]but it was very long.
[00:19.38]It was late in the evening
[00:20.92]when my train arrived in Los Angeles.
[00:24.65]When I walked out of the station.
[00:27.26]I saw⁴ some taxis waiting outside.
[00:30.81]"I could⁵ take a taxi to Gavin's house,
[00:33.42]I thought⁶."
[00:34.79]But then I decided⁷ to take a bus
[00:37.58]because buses were cheaper.
[00:40.70]I walked to the bus stop.
[00:43.19]There was a map of the bus routes⁸,
[00:46.35]but I couldn't understand it very well.
[00:49.72]I got⁹ on a bus and hoped¹⁰ it would¹¹ take me
[00:52.95]the right way,
[00:54.96]but after about fifteen minutes,
[00:57.49]I realized¹² I was going¹³ the wrong way.
[01:01.02]I got off¹⁴ the bus and took¹⁵ another one
[01:04.18]back to the train station.
[01:06.89]By now it was very late.
[01:09.94]I decided to take a taxi,
[01:13.08]but I couldn't find one anywhere¹⁶.
[01:16.17]Finally,I phoned Gavin and said¹⁷,
[01:20.25]"I'm still at the train station.,"
[01:22.83]Please come and pick¹⁸ me up!"
[01:25.76]Luckily,his dad was able¹⁹ to come
[01:28.68]and pick me up in the car.
[01:31.49]What a journey!
