[p=30, 2, left]Let’s find out what people think of the scheme? What are the advantages and disadvantages?[/p][p=30, 2, left]Don’t worry too much about difficult words as I'm going to explain them at the end of the programme.[/p][color=#000][indent][p=30, 2, left]I think the Mayor’s scheme to introduce the cycles into London is a fantastic incentive for people of all ages.

[p=30, 2, left][i]Cyclist 2: It’s a great scheme; it’s good for the environment, saves money and reduces traffic.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Cyclist 3: I am Ken[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Yang Li: How did you find it?[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Ken: I found it great.[/i][/p]
[p=30, 2, left][i]Yang Li: In what way is it good?[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Ken: It’s faster than walking.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Yang Li: It’s faster than walking. It saves you time.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Ken: It saves me time and it keeps me fit.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Yang Li: OK. Any disadvantages?[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Ken: There often isn’t anywhere to park the bicycle when you've finished with it so you have to ride further than you want to.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Yang Li: Right. Would you recommend more people using it?[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Ken: I certainly would, the more the merrier.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li:[/b] The more the merrier. 越多越好。Well, London is a big international city with thousands of visitors pouring in every day. I wonder whether they are tempted by a bicycle ride in London. What’s your name and where are you from?[/p][color=#000][indent][p=30, 2, left]I think the Mayor’s scheme to introduce the cycles into London is a fantastic incentive for people of all ages.

[p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li: [/b]Welcome back to the studio. Now joining me is my colleague William Kremer. Hi Will.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]William: [/b]Hi Li. Now I heard some good vocabulary from your interviews, so shall we take a look at it?[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li: [/b]That’s exactly what I would like you to help with.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]William: [/b]OK well let’s start with that speech by Boris Johnson. Pay particular attention to the use of prepositions.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li: [/b]注意介词的用法。[/p][color=#000][indent][p=30, 2, left]... And I want to get people out of their cars onto bicycles because I think we have far too many people who waste time sitting in traffic jams going mad bending their steering wheels when they should be on a beautiful new bike like this cycling in lovely London weather across very flat roads in great safety and enjoying the open air.[/p][/indent][p=30, 2, right]Boris, Johnson[/p]

Now that's an idiom and it's a really good one to learn: the more the merrier.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li: [/b]这是一个固定的成语，越多越好。说到这里我想问问听众朋友 Would you prefer to hire a bike or to have your own bike?[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]William:[/b] You can send us an email to [email]chinaelt@bbc.co.uk[/email].[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li:[/b] Well William I remember you promised me that you would lend me your bicycle key to try it out?[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]William: [/b]OK, a promise is a promise. Shall we try it out?[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Yang Li: [/b]Great 说到做到。Let’s go.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]William:[/b] Ok... let’s go.[/p][p=30, 2, left][i]William: Yes, you just take the key and where it says membership key just press it in and wait for the green light, you should see a green light come on… there we go, now you need to pull the bike quite hard. There we are, and that’s it.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Yang Li:[/i][i] Ok that's brilliant.
