	This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 57, Part 1.

	CYNTHIA:	Good morning, Martin.
	MARTIN:	Good morning. How are you?
	CYNTHIA:	Fine thanks.
	MARTIN:	I'm happy you could come today.
	CYNTHIA:	I'm happy to help out. Did you finish the petition?
	MARTIN:	Yes, last week. It's ready. Do you want to read it?
	CYNTHIA:	Of course. I want to sign it too.
	MARTIN:	Here. The petition asks the city to put trash containers at each corner of the park.
	CYNTHIA:	Good. It's not very clean or very neat. It has too much paper, glass bottles, and trash. Do we need a petition?
	MARTIN:	I think so. Dr. Sanders has asked the city to put trash containers in the park many times. Some of the trash is dangerous for children.
	CYNTHIA:	The petition looks good. I'll sign mine now.
	MARTIN:	Answer the other questions too.
	CYNTHIA:	What do I need to do now?
	MARTIN:	Ask everyone to sign.
	CYNTHIA:	OK. I'm going to the other side of the park. You stay here.
	MARTIN:	Thanks. I'm going to start with those ladies over there. Good morning, ladies.
	OLIVE:	Do I know you?
	MARTIN:	Maybe. I live in that building over there.
	ROBERTA:	Good morning.
	MARTIN:	I have a petition. Will you read it?
	OLIVE:	I don't sign petitions.
	ROBERTA:	What is it about?
	MARTIN:	It's about this park. We want to clean it up.
	OLIVE:	You don't need a petition for that.
	MARTIN:	We want the city to put trash containers at each corner.
	OLIVE:	Well, they should.
	ROBERTA:	Then you should sign the petition, Olive.
	OLIVE:	I'll read it.
	ROBERTA:	I'll sign it.
	MARTIN:	May I ask some questions?
	ROBERTA:	All right.
	MARTIN:	Do you live in the neighborhood?
	ROBERTA:	Yes. I live at 128, 36th Street.
	MARTIN:	When were you born?
	ROBERTA:	I was born in 1922.
	MARTIN:	How long have you lived in this neighborhood?
	ROBERTA:	Oh, about 50 years. I came here when I married.
	MARTIN:	That's wonderful. Please sign you name here. What's your name?
	OLIVE:	Olive Maglocci.
	MARTIN:	How old are you?
	OLIVE:	It's none of your business.
	ROBERTA:	Oh, Olive. She's 75 years old.
	MARTIN:	Where do you live?
	OLIVE:	I live at 1783 Parkway.
	MARTIN:	Where is that? Is it near here?
	OLIVE:	No. I don't live in this neighborhood.
	ROBERTA:	She's visiting me.
	MARTIN:	Oh, I see. I'm sorry. Only people in the neighborhood can sign the petition.
	OLIVE:	Why? The park needs to be cleaned up.
