Q: Woman: Well ... Car Salesman: Do you want to take her a test ride? Woman: Well ... Um. How old is it? Car Salesman: Well, it's only three years old? Woman: And what's the mileage? Car Salesman: Uh, let me check. Oh yes. 75,000 miles. Woman: 75,000 miles? That's quite a bit for a car that's only three years old. Car Salesman: Well, once you're in the driver's seat, you'll fall in love with her. Get in. Woman: Ugh ... Uh, I can't seem to get the door open. [Ah, it's okay.] It could be broken. Car Salesman: Ah, just give her a little tap. Ugh. Now she's opened. Woman: Great. A door I have to beat up to open. Car Salesman: Hey. Get in and start her up. [Woman tries to start the car ...] Car Salesman: [Um] Well, it's probably the battery. I know she has enough gas in her, and I had our mechanic check her out just yesterday. Try it again. Woman: Uh. It sounds a little rough to me. [Well ...] How much is this minivan anyway? Car Salesman: Oh. It's a real bargain today and tomorrow only at $15,775, plus you get the extended warranty covering defects, wear, and tear beyond the normal maintenance on the vehicle for an extra $500 for the next 30,000 miles. [Oh ...] with a few minor exclusions. Woman: Like ...? Car Salesman: Well, I mean, it covers everything except for the battery, and light bulbs, and brake drums, exhaust system, trim and moldings, upholstery and carpet, paint, tires ... Well, a short list, you know. Woman: Uh. Well, almost $16,000 is a little out of my price range, plus the seats covers are torn a little. Car Salesman: Well, hey, I might be able to talk the manager into lowering the price another two hundred dollars, but that's about all. Woman: No thanks. I think I'll just keep looking.

A: Car Salesman: Oh. Hi there. A beauty, isn't she?

Q: W: Thank you. M: I'm Paul Turner. Branch Manager. W: Katie Thomas, nice to meet you. M: I hear that you're looking for temporary office work. W: That's right. M: How old are you, Katie? W: Eighteen. M: That's rather young. What experience have you had? W: Well, I've just left school, in fact, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college. M: It doesn't sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding, especially when it comes to new office technology. W: Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school. M: Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing? W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went in to learn about word processing. M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office? W: I think I'm quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sports. So I'm used to working as part of a team. M: Sounds good. Let's see... There's a request from Johnson's Imports for "a bright youngster..." . What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Come in. Please have a seat.

Q: M: Yes, I will never be tired of it. I have read three times. I can always learn something new from it every time I read it. W: Really? Who's the writer? M: Charles Dickens. I think he's a great English writer. What about you? W: So do I. He is also my favorite foreign writer. What do you think about it? M: It's exciting. W: Where did you buy it? M: In the Rese Bookshop. W: I don't know where it is. Is it far from here? M: No. Only 10 minutes' walk from here. Next to the People's Cinema. W: Oh. I see. I am going there to get one, too. Thank you. M: You are welcome.

A: W: Hello, Bill. You are reading the novel again.

Q: M: It's nothing serious actually. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. W: What seems to be the matter? Is it the flu? M: No, I think it's something I ate. We ate at that new restaurant last night, and I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me. W: Was it that new restaurant over on Fourth Street? Opened only two weeks ago? M: As a matter of fact, it was. Why do you ask? W: Because Jerry ate there last week and had the same kind of problem. He was sick the next day, too. M: That's interesting. Maybe the health authorities should look into the matter. W: That's what I think. Two people with similar problems in such a short time can't just be coincidence!

W: You look rather pale, Mr. Williams. Aren't you feeling well?
