第 88 课:distance and speed 距离与速度 - 1

A: how long will it take us to drive to London?

B; I think it's a distance of 180 kilometers from here to London, so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway.

A; that's unless there is a traffic jam. It could take three hours.

B; you're right. We will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey, because we will be in built-up area.

A: so, shall we allow three hours to cover the distance?

B; ok. You haven't seen my company car, have you?

A; no. let me take a look….it's longer than my car.

B: I think it's over five meters long. I can't remember exactly. It has a maximum speed of over 200 kilometers an hour.

A; wow! That's fast! I don't think we will be traveling that fast on the motorway.

B; we can't. if we went that fast, we would break the speed limit.
