W: Hello, Steve?
M: Hi, Veronica. What’s going on?
W: Oh, my car’s having problems again, but I don’t have the time or the money to get it fixed.
M: Is it really bad?
W: It’s starting to overheat whenever I’m idling or in heavy traffic, and two days ago I had to pull off the expressway and wait until the engine cooled down.
M: Have you taken it into a shop?
W: Well, I went to two different places yesterday; one mechanic said he’d check the coolant level and look for fluid leaks; the other guy said he thought it was the thermostat. I didn’t leave the car with either of them, though, because I didn’t have a ride back.
M: What are you going to do?
W: I really don’t know. I’ll have to figure out something; the bus service is terrible around where I five. Anyway, could I ask you for a favor?
M: Of course, what is it?
W: You know, tomorrow’s Monday and we’re supposed to turn in our homework in English, but I’ve only gotten halfway through it — I’ve just been too busy. If I came over, would you help me finish it?
M: Sure, I’ll be here all evening. And actually I haven’t finished the homework either; I’ve just been putting it off, so it’s good you’re coming over — I need someone to motivate me.
W: Thank you so much, Steve. It’s so nice of you. See you later.
