Abstract: Note for EP Lesson 16 (Hurry up!)

Dialogue Summary

Two friends (man and woman) got into a car. The man just wanted to speed up. The light was about to change and the man asked to step on it. But the girl didn’t want to run a red light. Then the man said the freeway will be packed at that hour and they would take a side street. The woman started to say Having a fit is not going to help. The man knew a short cut and they cut through a park. Finally, they arrived at the library before it closes. The woman taught he is such a geek.

However, they use life risk to replace time.
