W: We’re having a lovely time, Dad.

M: I’m sure there’s a lot to do.

W: There is! We’ve been for a walk in Central Park. It’s so big! Everything here is big. And we’ve climbed the Empire State Building. The view was fantastic. 

M: Have you seen the Statue of Liberty yet?

W: Oh, yes, we have. We’ve just had a helicopter out of the city, and we flew really close to it.

M: What about a show? Have you seen a show on Broadway yet?

W: What are you reading?

W: He must have worked pretty hard.

M: So, as you can see, she’s a beauty. One previous owner kept it in the garage the whole time, and only drove it on the weekends.

W: That’s why it only has about 25,000 miles on it, even though it’s ten years old.

M: Exactly. The owner also kept all the service records. So you can tell it’s been taken care of.

W: Does this car come with a service contract?

M: All our cars come with a 30-day agreement, so you won’t pay for anything within the first month.  But since this car is used, we can’t offer anything beyond that.

W: I see. The price of almost $15,000 seems a little high. Is there any way we can bring that down?

M: This car is in very good condition, madam. And based on our research of similar cars being

   sold in the area, we believe it’s a fair price. All taxes and fees are included as well.

W: OK. Can I take it for a test drive?

M: Absolutely! Let me just get the keys.

W: I’ll be leaving on the fifth of August.

M: That’s only a few days from now. How many weeks are you going to be taking?

W: I have two weeks, but I want to save a week and take it sometime during the winter. 

M: Where are you going now?

W: To the beach. Just think, in a few days I’ll be swimming every day, playing beach volleyball, lying in the sun and just taking it easy.

M: Don’t tell me about it. It sounds too good.

W: What about you? When are you planning to take your vacation?

M: I don’t know. I should start thinking about it, I guess.

W: What do you like to do?

M: All the things that you are going to be doing. But that’s the trouble. I like both summer and winter sports.

W: Well, take part of your vacation and the rest of it in January or February.

M: Sounds good.

Good afternoon everybody and welcome to this class on English words. I hope that all of you can hear me. If not, please let me know. I am Professor John Morris. I’ll be your teacher for the next 13 weeks. As you can probably tell, this is one of the most popular and crowded classes. Indeed, every time this course is offered, this room is very full. Why is that? Well, in order to use the English language, it’s very important to have at least a basic understanding of how words are formed. Just to mention one figure and there are many, there are about 1 million words in English. If you are an English learner, you may wonder how you can possibly remember all of these words. Well, for one thing, you don’t have to. No native speaker exists who knows all of the words in the English language. Besides, there are short-cuts. Short-cuts? Yes, for example, if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other languages, such as Greek and French, you’ll understand a good number of English words when you first come across them. Let me put it this way, knowing the rules will help you to master a large number of words. This is probably the NO.1 reason why this class is so popular.
