--- lesson 88 trapped in a mine[00:00:01]

--- first listen and then answer the question.[00:00:07]

--- why is the rescue taking so long?[00:00:13]

six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours.[00:00:20]

if they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives.[00:00:26]

however, rescue operations are proving difficult.[00:00:32]

if explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse.[00:00:36]

rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine.[00:00:43]

they intend to bring the men up in a special capsule.[00:00:50]

if there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil,[00:00:55]

they would have completed the job in a few hours.[00:01:00]

as it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go.[00:01:04]

meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago,has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives.[00:01:12]

though they are running out of food and drink,[00:01:23]

the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon.[00:01:26]

they have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly.[00:01:31]

if they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.[00:01:36]

--- end[00:01:45]
