W: I took a taxi yesterday from the train station to Diamond Hotel, and the driver charged me six dollars.
M: I wouldn't say that, miss. Any taxi driver would lose his license if he got caught doing a thing like that.
W: I didn't know that.
M: Now you know. Are you new in this city?
W: Yes. I'll probably stay here for two weeks.
M: In that case, you can try to call a taxi company to send you a taxi next time when you need one. That'll certainly make you feel safer.... Here you are, Diamond Hotel.
W: Thank you for the advice. How much is it?
M: Two dollars and ninety-eight cents.
W: Here is three dollars. Keep the change please.

M: Last year, I took up the hobby of birding or bird watching after my friend took me out to observe some birds out near the lake. Basically, birding involves observing birds in their natural habitat. Actually, you don't need to leave your backyard to observe many birds. The best seasons to watch birds are in the spring and fall as they migrate from north to south in many areas. I usually go out with my telescope and a guidebook in the mornings because most birds are very active in finding food at that time. You also have to know where to look to see them and how to recognize their bird calls. Because I'm new to birding, I use my bird guidebook to look up certain kinds of birds. You have to look carefully at their feathers, the way they behave and move, and their size to recognize many birds because some look very similar. Also, take note of the time of year you see birds because this information might tell you more about their breeding area and migration routes. Besides looking at birds, I like the activity because it gives me a chance to exercise as I travel to different places, and it allows me to relax my mind in the great outdoors.
