1 Hi Michelle!

0:08

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

What are you working on?

0:09

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

It's a report on city trends for my urban studies class.

0:14

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

We have to choose one city and explain an important

0:18

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

change that is happening there.

0:19

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

What city did you choose?

0:21

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Los Angeles.

0:22

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

It's my dream to go there and study for a master's degree,

0:26

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

so I decided to learn more about it.

0:28

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

What changes did you learn about?

0:31

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Well,

0:32

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

one big trend is about public transportation.

0:35

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Oh, I heard transportation is terrible in L .A.

0:39

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Everybody drives their own car.

0:42

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Actually,

0:43

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

that's not so true anymore.

0:44

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

In fact,

0:46

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

public transportation is getting better and better.

0:49

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

The city is building a new metro rail system.

0:53

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Six lines are already running.

0:55

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

There are two subway lines and four light rail

0:59

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

lines above the ground.

1:00

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Now you can take a train all the way from downtown to

1:04

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

the beach.

1:05

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Wow!

1:06

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

I didn't know that.

1:08

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

So,

1:09

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

what other trends are happening in L .A.?

1:12

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

More mixed -use buildings,

1:14

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

especially in the downtown area.

1:16

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Mixed -use?

1:17

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

What does that mean?

1:19

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

You know,

1:20

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

buildings with restaurants and shops on the street level and

1:24

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

apartments or offices above.

1:25

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

That's not new.

1:27

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

I was in New York and I saw buildings like that everywhere.

1:31

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Well,

1:32

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

they are new in Los Angeles.

1:35

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

In the past,

1:36

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

most people lived in one area,

1:38

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

and their work was far away,

1:40

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

so they drove.

1:40

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

But nowadays,

1:42

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

people don't want to spend time in traffic.

1:44

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

They want to live close to work,

1:47

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

and they want to be able to walk to shops and entertainment.

1:50

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

I understand.

1:52

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

But wait a minute.

1:53

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Doesn't the downtown area have a lot of homeless people?

1:57

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Well,

1:58

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

there are homeless people,

2:00

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

but the city is working hard to solve that problem.

2:03

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

At the same time,

2:05

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

more and more families and professional people are moving downtown,

2:08

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

so now the population is more mixed.

2:11

S… Speaker 4 (Track 4.1)

I see.

2:12

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Okay,

2:13

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

did you read about any other trends?

2:15

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Yes,

2:16

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

urban gardens.

2:18

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

People are working together and planting gardens in schools,

2:22

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

in parks,

2:23

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

and even on the roofs of buildings.

2:25

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

Why?

2:27

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Don't they have supermarkets in Los Angeles?

2:29

S… Speaker 4 (Track 4.1)

Of course they do.

2:31

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

But with urban gardens,

2:33

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

people can eat fresh,

2:34

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

natural food almost all year because the weather in L .A.

2:38

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

is so nice.

2:39

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

But gardening is boring.

2:42

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Actually,

2:43

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

it's fun.

2:44

S… Speaker 3 (Track 4.1)

And people say the gardens are a great way for people to get to know their neighbors.

2:49

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

You know, Michelle,

2:50

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

I think I have a lot of wrong ideas about Los Angeles.

2:54

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

Thanks for telling me about your report.

2:56

S… Speaker 2 (Track 4.1)

You're welcome.
