BMWs too. They all pass the old woman. Nicola drives as fast as possible. Soon she approaches a

red light, a traffic light. (Sometimes we say traffic light. Some people say a red light.). Soon she

the light. The first BMW tries to follow but a huge truck cross the intersection and hits the first

BMW.

intersection still chasing the Toyota.

Nicola turns her car onto Haleakala Highway. (Haleakala is a name. It’s the name of the big volcano

on Maui Island. And Haleakala Highway is the highway that goes to the top of the volcano.)

Which road does she turn onto?

Haleakala Highway. (It’s okay if you can’t really pronounce this word it’s not really English it’s

Next month the chase continues. That is the end of our mini story. As usual listen to it many times

every day. Pause and answer the questions energetically. Shoulders back, Chin up. Big smile. Use a

lot of energy even when you’re just listening. This will help you.
