[Q]: 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.

[Q]: M: Oh, yes, I was standing outside my house. W: Do you remember what time it happened? M: Yes, it was 4: 30 by my watch. W: Good. Now, was the truck going fast? M: Yes. Well, perhaps the driver thought the light was changing to green. But it was red. W: Are you sure, Mr. White? M: Yes, absolutely sure. W: Then the truck hit the taxi, did it? M: Yes, with much noise. Then I called the police. W: Well, thanks a lot, Mr. White. Good-bye. M: Good-bye. What was said before this conversation?
