I don’t know. What
do you think Sue?

I think we should
go, or if I can’t go you
can go without me.
Will we still go to Christopher’s
Kitchen tonight?

3

No, I think Sue should
rest, and we don’t want to
go without her. We can go
next week, can’t we?

4

Yes, of course we can.
We’ll go next week.

You can borrow our car if you like.

Yes, I think
that’s better.
And I think we
need to rent a car.
Sue’s leg is too sore
to go on the bus.

No, you might need it.
I’d rather rent a car. Can I
rent a car around here?

5

Yes, you can.
I’ll go there
with you.

6

Can I help you?

Yes, I’d like to
rent a car for a
week, please.

Which car
would you like?

We don’t need a
big car, so I think the
Vixen would be good.

I’m sorry, sir. I’m afraid they’re
all out this week. How about a
Sonar? It’s only $5 a day extra.

Yes, that one is $65 a day.
I’ll check to see if we have one.

9

Yes, that’s fine. Does the
price include insurance and
unlimited kilometers?

10
No, insurance
is not included.

Can I get one today?

Yes, and I almost forgot
that there’s a deposit of $750
in case you damage the car.
You can use your credit card
for that. Can I see your
driver’s license, please?

It’s $13 a day extra and it’s 10 cents a
kilometer over two hundred kilometers

a day, but there is a ten percent discount
if you rent the car for a week.

12

Yes, of
course.

Would you sign
here, please?
