About this listen

 This listening episode (A1–A2 level) is narrated by Carlos and introduces learners to a typical day in Mexico and how people get around in everyday life. First, Carlos describes his daily routine. He wakes up early, prepares coffee, and has a simple breakfast with common foods such as eggs and tortillas. Then, he talks about leaving home to work or study. Carlos explains that in Mexico the main meal of the day is usually eaten between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m., and it often includes rice, beans, chicken or meat, and almost always salsa. In the evening, people relax, watch TV or listen to music, and get ready to sleep. Next, the episode focuses on transportation in Mexico. Carlos explains that in big cities like Mexico City, many people use public transportation, especially the subway and buses, which can be very crowded during rush hour. He also mentions that driving a car can be difficult because of heavy traffic. In smaller cities and towns, people often walk, ride bicycles, or use local taxis. The episode ends by highlighting that at night transportation is calmer and it is a good time to rest after a long day.
