The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
Hello there, this is Mr.Wong speaking. I hope you're doing well. Ok, so I was driving down the freeway on Thursday morning, and you know I was just minding my own business, obeying the speed limit and whatnot, then there's this one guy that decided to cut me off(American English : 超車搶道), and started braking in front of me. If I wasn't careful, I could've rear ended(=to crash into the back of a vehicle 撞到其他車輛尾部) him making it my fault. But I kept my cool because I knew there was gonna be a traffic police hiding in the bushes with a speed radar(測速雷達) not far ahead. So I decided to change lanes and nine times out of ten he would cut me off again.
So I had to time it right when we're passing by the police. Haha, guess what happened in the end? Yup, he got pulled over and I'm pretty sure he got a ticket as well. Serves him right! Haha, you know, everyone that lives around my area knows that nine times out of ten under the bridge on the freeway, there's gonna be a traffic police with a scanner waiting for ya, tough luck for that guy! Haha, alright, speaking of "nine times out of ten", that's gonna be our...you guessed it…"phrase" of the day. Let's check it out!
