The most expensive model
MR. FRITH: | I like this television very much. How much does it cost? |
ASSISTANT: | It's the most expensive model in the shop. It costs five hundred pounds. |
MRS. FRITH: | That's too expensive for us. We can't afford all that money. |
ASSISTANT: | This model's less expensive than that one. It's only three hundred pounds. But, of course, it's not as good as the expensive one. |
MR. FRITH: | I don't like this model. The other model's more expensive, but it's worth the money. |
MR. FRITH: | Can we buy it on instalments? |
ASSISTANT: | Of course. You can pay a deposit of thirty pounds, and then fourteen pounds a month for three years. |
MR. FRITH: | Do you like it, dear? |
MRS. FRITH: | I certainly do, but I don't like the price. You always want the best, but we can't afford it. Sometimes you think you're a millionaire! |
MR. FRITH: | Millionaires don't buy things on instalments! |
