Love,
Nhu

Tapescript for the second forty-five minute test
Voice One:
We are high in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the State of North Caroline. It is very early in the morning. We have been walking in the mountains for almost one week. Each night we sleep in a small cloth shelter called a tent. We carry the tent, sleeping bags, clothes, food and water with us in our backpacks.
The air in the morning is fresh and clear. It smells like green trees and wild flowers. Our surroundings are dark green. We have been deep in the forest for many kilometers. Little light reaches here. It is so thick with trees. We cannot see the sky.
Voice Two:
At last we come to a clear area. We can see the sky and the land around us. When we look across to other mountains, it is easy to see why they were named the "Blue Ridge Mountains". The early morning air in the distance looks like thick smoke. It makes the color of the mountains a deep ocean blue. This color is caused by the amount of water in the air. It is almost like fog. When the sun rises higher, some of the water in the air will be burned away. Then the mountains will be slowly turn dark green.
