MARTIN: |
That's very interesting. You restored the old Packard. How did the
car look? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
It
was beautiful. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Did
it look new? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
It
was better than new. The paint was better and the tires were better.
And it was brown. I love brown cars. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Where is the Packard now? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
I
sold it. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What are you doing now? Are you restoring cars now? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Sometimes. I repair foreign cars too. Tell me about your car. Maybe
I can fix it. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Do
you sell cars? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Sometimes. I sell used cars. I buy damaged cars and repair them.
Then I sell them. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Are
they wrecked? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
No,
they aren't wrecked. Sometimes there are accidents in shipping. The
cars are damaged. They have broken lights or windows. The paint is
scratched. The tires are ruined. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Oh,
I see. The problems are not serious. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
No,
the repairs are simple. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
need a new car. Do you have a good car now? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
I
have three beautiful cars now. What do you need? |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Can
I see them? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Not
today. They aren't here. They are at my home. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Tell me about them. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Do
you like sports cars? |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
like them, but I don't want one. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
OK.
One is a green sports car. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
like green cars. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
I
can paint any car green. One car has four doors. The other car has
two doors. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN:
|
The
four-door car is better for my family. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
The
four-door is smaller. The two-door is bigger. The two-door is blue.
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN:
|
What color is the four-door car? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
It's white. Do you like white cars? |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Green cars are better. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Do
you want to see the car tomorrow? |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
can't come tomorrow. I'm going to Arkansas. Which car do you like?
|
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Two-door cars look very nice. This one is light blue. It is dark
blue inside. The seats are blue leather. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Is
it automatic? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Yes, both cars are automatic. The sports car is not automatic.
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What is the four-door like? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
It's white outside and red inside. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
don't like red. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
It's older. The two-door is new. The four-door is one year old. It's
not expensive. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Can
I see them on Friday? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Sure. Can you come to my house tonight? I live on the north side of
town. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
can come tonight. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
Come at eight o'clock. I live at twelve twenty-six Taft Street.
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
can find it. I have a map. What does the house look like? |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
It's white brick. It's not very big. It has large windows in front.
The roof is black. And the front door is yellow. The number is on
the front door. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
And
it has a green car, a white car, and a blue car in front. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
And
my motorcycle. |
|
|
|
|
KELLY: |
See
you tonight. |
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Thanks. Goodbye. |
