I could take the bus to work..
Description
Another mini-cast: the sentence to practice here is:
"I could take the bus to work, but I'd rather walk."
Listen carefully as always, and notice how words pronounced in isolation may be pronounced differently when they're in a sentence.
If you want to practice your speaking and correct grammar at the same time, try making up variations on the podcast sentence. Here are a few examples:
I could walk to work, but I'd rather drive.
I could take my scooter to work, but I'd rather bike.
I could fly to work, but I don't have a plane.
I could walk to work, but I'd rather take the bus.
