M: Hi, Lynn. Nice to meet you. Thanks for your interest. Here's my car. It's a 2006 Honda Civic. I took a lot of road trips in it! It is not perfect, but it is safe to drive and it has new tires. W: Is anything broken? M: The radio is broken and the heater is broken, but the air conditioner works well. W: I think you should lower the price because the radio and the heater are broken. If you don't lower the price, I don't think I want to buy it. M: Sorry, but I'm not lowering the price. It's a very safe car, even if the radio is broken. Would you like to drive the car so you can see if you like it? W: No, thank you. I am worried something else is broken too. What was said before this conversation?

Question: M: Well, no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair. He'd been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss. W: You've missed quite a lot of lessons lately, haven't you? Are you losing interest? M: Yes, I'm afraid so. Neither John nor I have a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You've hardly been in Germany a month. W: It was neither quick nor easy. We'd both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to revise it. M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don't really need to learn German.
