Once you have finished it, click on the transcript below the video to see the correct words. You can use the vocabulary list to help you learn some new words while you're listening.

Extreme commuters

EXTREME COMMUTERS

The average worker in Britain _________ 54 minutes commuting each day. But some travel for much longer. These are the UK's 'extreme commuters'.

Gary Egen lives in Wales and ____________ five days a week to Watford, which is 170 miles away.

"My alarm goes off at 03:30 each day and my ________ takes two-and-a-half to three hours," he says.

But he says he enjoys the time spent travelling: "I have quite a ____________job so I use the journey home to sort my day out in my ___________ and to make a plan for the following day."

Research from the Office for National Statistics says ______________- commuting is becoming more _______________, and that a travel time of three hours or more is often a happier experience than ____________ journeys.

This may be because these extra-long journeys are a _______________ choice for extreme commuters. They often have a higher than ___________ income and can therefore use their travel time more productively.

PAST SIMPLE AND PAST PROGRESSIVE - INTERMEDIATE 1

Two teachers tell us about a scary situation when they were walking home late at night. This gives us the opportunity to see the way they talk about past situations and the way they combine the use of the past continuous (for longer, background situations) and the past simple (shorter actions that interrupt the action in the past continuous).

Self-study activity: Listen as often as necessary until you feel you've got the grasp of what really happened to them. Then retell the teachers' anecdotes in their own words. Make a point of using the past simple and past continuous all the time, and don't jump to the present.

Finally, can you think about a scary situation in your life? Retell the anecdote using the past continuous and past simple.
