I was thinking that it might be 4 or 500. ,F: This material is imported from Italy. It's the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about $2000. ,M: Uh-hah. But isn't that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that it was too expensive. ,F: It's possible that the suit you saw was the same color is this one but made of a different material. Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think there are the lowest anywhere in the city.

Part 3. Exercise
F: Hello, Tom. How are you finding teaching here? ,M: I get the feeling that somehow the school successful. The buildings and furniture are so old, yet amazingly, the students seem happy. These days you can't compete in less you can really provide the best. That's the trouble with these small family owned schools, so many are taken over by large companies. They seem to offer a whole range of subjects, not just English and maths. ,F: I think that's good. Because they can bring together a mixture of teachers of different subjects. A geography teacher say might give you fresh ideas that you can apply and teaching English or math. ,M: I've always found it a real eye opener talking to other English teachers, because people's methods of teaching the same subject can vary so much. Actually, I sometimes feel that about classes. I feel it's my role as the teacher to make sure we get on all right, but I can't always do it. ,F: Each class develops its own culture, and you may not be able to do anything about it. You just have to accept that you don't get on with every class. I couldn't get on with every class, either.
(A) M: Really? You could get on with every class and you respect the culture of every class? (B) M: I'm sorry, I didn't understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (C) M: OK, I see. You mean not each class develops its own culture, and you want to teach different subjects. (D) M: So, you think each class develops its own culture, but we can be able to do everything about it. However, you do not get on well with every class.
