Proposals. Free Parking Place Downtown / in the City Centre at Weekends. Interaction by Fernando (consolidated C1 level), Alberto and Sara, Avanzado level students (2012-13)

There was some confusion with the topic: banning or allowing? Proposal or New law? Anyway...

Feedback - read as you listen!

Beg. a bit long. The other two could've uttered some little comment and/or F. could've done this in two steps or something. Anyway, it was good it ended with a question.

How PUBLIC TRANSPORT WORKS in the city

MORE expensive than they were in the past

IT's (TTTTTT) too difficult

The elderly NEED TO use public transport

if the major improveS this law

for me the best THING/OPTION is this law

You're a very TOUGH business woman!

I think YOUR PROBLEM is not a big deal, REALLY.

THere IS ANother problem…

Maybe if people have to pay we CAN AVOID…

pay TO PARK / for PARKING

One euro! That's cheap!

The possibilities are improvING public transport (verbos haciendo de nombres en -ing, mejor)

SO THAT THE MAJOR IS AWARE OF the problem

So who IS GOING TO write the letter?

But I can try TO. (see ellipsis in Grammar Bank 6B - Advanced)

WELL DONE, PEOPLE!!!
