Complete the sentences using terms from the dialogue! (each blank requires one word)
The pair of parallel rails on which a train runs are called (railway) tracks 1.
The sea between England and France is called the English channel 2.
An unwanted hole in a pipe that lets water escape is called a leak 3.
The pair of parallel rails on which a train runs are called (railway) tracks 1.
The sea between England and France is called the English channel 2.

1 tracks: "Tracks" are the "rails" on which trains move from one point to another. In the first announcement, the London to Paris train is delayed due to "water on the tracks". This means water is covering the path of the train. Another example: Don't go on to the tracks - you'll get an electric shock!
2 channel: The English Channel is the sea that separates England from northern France. The Channel Tunnel runs beneath "the Channel" transporting trains. Fun fact: The Channel is very shallow, none of the sea is deep enough to completely submerge Saint Paul's Cathedral!
3 leak: A "leak" is an unintended hole (or crack) through which liquid (or gas), enters or escapes. Example: I think the boat has a leak - we're sinking! In the dialogue, water has entered the Channel Tunnel due to a "small leak". Note, "leak" is also used as a verb. Example: Each time it rains, the roof leaks!
