W: Hey there, Christopher. What are you up to?
M: I’m just poring over some brochures about various car models.
W: Oh, so you’re thinking about buying a new car?
M: Yeah, it looks that way. My wife has been bugging me about it.(1)I thought we could probably survive without one, but with a baby on the way, maybe it is time to get a car.
W: So this would be your first automobile?
M: That’s right. For quite a few years, I rode a bicycle to work. Then I got a motorbike.
W: Yeah, I think I can understand your wife’s position. Asking her to ride on a motorcycle when she’s pregnant is a tall order.
M: Oh...I don’t let her ride with me. It’s just too dangerous.(2)She takes the bus to work, but it is sometimes difficult to get a seat and it’s crowded and hot.
W: So it’s time to buy your very first car! Wow, that’s exciting!
M: Yes, but it’s also a pretty big financial responsibility. I’m having a hard time deciding which model is best for us.
W: Yeah, it is a tough call. Each one has its pros and cons. Are you looking for a sedan?
M: Yes, I’d like a Jeep, but(3-1)my wife says we have to get a comfortable sedan for long drive home to see her relatives.
W:(3-2)I’d advise you to listen to your wife. She will be sitting in the back taking care of the kids, so whatever she prefers is probably the best choice.
M: What do you think about this one? Here, take a look.
W: I like it. It’s quite stylish. But it’s also pretty small.
M: That’s OK. We are only a family of three. And it gets good gas mileage and overall has good value.
W:(4)When I was young, having a car was all about power, prestige and fashion. But today, everything is about economy, value and savings.
M: The world has changed.
W: Have you considered getting a second-hand car?
M:(5)My wife rejected that idea. She says that you never know if the car dealer is unscrupulous. The car could be water damaged or could have been involved in an accident.
W: She makes some good points. Anyway, having a new car is a great experience. How about the color?
M: Blue is my lucky color, so I’ll pick blue if possible. My wife says we should consider black because it doesn’t look dirty so quickly.
W: Cool! Well, let me know when you decide. I’d love to check out your new car!
M: Sure. Thanks for the input.
