--- lesson 84 on strike.[00:00:01]

--- first listen and then answer the question.[00:00:06]

--- who will be driving the buses next week?[00:00:12]

busmen have decided to go on strike next week.[00:00:18]

the strike is due to begin on tuesday.[00:00:22]

no one knows how long it will last.[00:00:25]

the busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions.[00:00:28]

most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week.[00:00:37]

many owners of private cars are going to offer 'free rides' to people on their way to work.[00:00:43]

this will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent.[00:00:50]

meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts.[00:00:56]

all the students are expert drivers,[00:01:03]

but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test.[00:01:07]

the students are going to take the test in two days' time.[00:01:14]

even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work.[00:01:18]

but so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in letters to the press.[00:01:24]

only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast![00:01:31]

--- end[00:01:38]
