T: So, you don't say much in your advertisement. Is this an old car?
B: Four years old. Come and have a look at it.
T: Were you the first owner?
B: No, I got it two years ago.

B: Well, I drive to my office in the city centre five days a week, but I don't use it much at weekends.
T: I see. Now, a thing is, I'm a doctor. I've just started work at the hospital inHills Road. I'm on call a lot of the time
and I have to find the car which is really reliable the car I used to have was always breaking down and giving me problems.
B: Oh, this one's very good. It may not be the fastest car around, but it always gets there eventually. And it's got a new set of the tyres.
T: Right. It's good to know that. Can I go for the test drive?
B: Hm, actually, that's not possible right now.
T: Why not?
B: Well, basically, I'm afraid it won't start. You see, the battery is flat.
