discussing travel, specifically road trips. They preview key vocabulary such as 'road trip' and 'the
car is packed', and engage in a dialogue between a husband and wife preparing for a journey. The
lesson includes language takeaways like 'munchies', 'fill up the tank', and 'pit stop', and phrases
like 'we've got all our bases covered' and 'let's get going'. The hosts also share personal travel
anecdotes, and the episode concludes with a fluency builder segment to enhance listeners' spoken

-So, are we all ready to go?

-Did you get the camera?
-Got it! Did you fill up the tank?
-Yup, it's all set.
-You're sure we're not forgetting anything?

- I'm sure. . . we've got all our bases covered.
- Well. . . let's get going then! I love road trips!
- Um. . . do you think we can make a pit stop?
