Baseball is America\u2019s sport. Today, I am going to Nationals Park. It is home to Washington, D.C.\u2019s baseball team &#8212; the Washington Nationals!<br>Anna: Hi, Jonathan!<br>Jonathan: Hi, Anna! Where are you going?<br>Anna: I am taking a bus to a Nationals baseball game!<br>Jonathan: Don\u2019t take the bus. A taxi is faster than a bus.<br>Anna: Oh, good idea. You know I love baseball.<br>Jonathan: That\u2019s great. Have fun.<br>Anna: In fact, I wanted to be a baseball player.<br>Jonathan: Is this one of your memories? I\u2019m really busy.<br>Anna: This won\u2019t take long. I can see it now\u2026 I am at home plate. I wait for the pitch. The ball comes. I swing. It\u2019s a hit! I run to first base, second base, third base, then home plate. It\u2019s a home run! The crowd cheers! Woo hoo!<br>Jonathan: You really love baseball. Have fun at the game, Anna.<br>Anna: Thanks, Jonathan.Taxi!<br>Ashley: Hi, Anna. Where are you going?<br>Anna: Hi, Ashley. I am going to see a Nationals baseball game!<br>Ashley: What time is the game?<br>Anna: 7 o\u2019clock.<br>Ashley: Do you have a ticket?<br>Anna: No, not yet.<br>Ashley: Anna, you should go a lot earlier than 7 o\u2019clock.<br>Anna: That is why I\u2019m taking a taxi. Taxi!<br>Ashley: Anna, Anna, that\u2019s not a good idea. A bicycle is faster than a taxi.<br>Anna: Oh, Ashley. Ashley, Ashley, Ashley. A car is faster than your bicycle.<br>Ashley: In D.C. traffic sometimes a bicycle is faster than a car. And right now, there is a lot of traffic.<br>Anna: Good point. But I don\u2019t have a bicycle.<br>Ashley: Okay, Anna, you can use my bicycle.<br>Anna: Thanks! I really want to learn how to ride one.<br>Ashley: What do you mean, learn how to ride a bike? Oh, Anna! Anna, Anna!<br>Ashley: You know, Anna, the Metro is faster than a taxi and a bicycle. You ought to take the Metro. It\u2019s that way.<br>Anna: Good idea.<br>Ashley: OK.<br>Anna: See you later!<br>Ashley: Bye, Anna!<br>Anna: Bye!<br>Anna: The Metro was a lot faster than a bus, taxi or bike. And now I\u2019m at Nationals Park! Look at all these fans! So many people like to watch baseball. There\u2019s the ticket window. What? The tickets are sold out? Nooooooo!Nooooooo! But I really want to watch a baseball game. Does anyone have an extra ticket?<br>Fan: Next time, you should buy your ticket online.<br>Anna: Thanks. Thanks a lot. It is good advice. Being early is better than being late. Until next time \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking Pronunciation Conversation Anna: Hi, there, sp &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/2022\/08\/30\/lesson-31-take-me-out-to-the-ball-game\/\" class=\"more-link\">\u7ee7\u7eed\u9605\u8bfb<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">\u201cLesson 31: Take Me Out to the Ball Game\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1214"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1214"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1219,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1214\/revisions\/1219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
