Simon bought a second-hand car which is one of the new models.
Listen to the conversation, mark each statement as either True (T)or False (F)according to your listening.
W: Hi, Simon, how are you? How is your new car going?
M: Oh, don’t ask me, Anna. It’s a nightmare! I never should have bought it!
W: Why? What’s wrong? I thought you’d got one of those fancy new models?
M: I did, but that’s part of the problem. If I’d bought a second-hand car, I wouldn’t have taken out this big bank loan I’ve got now.
W: Oh, so I suppose you’ve got big repayments to make?
M: Yes, and I can’t sell the car until I’ve paid for it. But it’s not only that. I had no idea running a car was going to be so expensive! I wish I’d thought about the other costs before I bought it.
W: It probably wouldn’t be so bad if the price of petrol hadn’t almost doubled last month.
M: Don’t remind me—the petrol alone is costing me a fortune!
W: Lucky you’ve got that part-time job then!
M: That’s just the thing. Nearly all of my wages are going on the car. If I’d waited a bit before buying the car, I’d have managed to save quite a bit by now. I might even have gone on that college trip last week: it sounded great.
W: Oh, dear. Can’t you ask your dad to help you out?
M: No way! When my granddad left me some money, my dad didn’t want me to spend it on a car. If only I’d listened to him, none of this would have happened! I wish he wasn’t always right!
W: Well, maybe you should value his opinions more. You do seem to argue with him a lot. If you got on better with him, you might have listened to his suggestions.
M: The worst thing is, Dad wanted me to buy some shares with the money and now they’ve gone up by thirty per cent. I should have listened to him. If I’d taken his advice, I’d own a small fortune now instead of a big debt!
W: Oh, Simon, you poor thing. I wish I could help you but I have even less money than you. At least you have a car!
M: Oh, don’t say that! I wish I’d never bought the car! If it weren’t for the car, I’d have no money worries now.
选项
A、TRUE
B、FALSE
答案
B
解析
根据全部对话可知,Simon在新车上花费了很多钱,还背负了债务,父亲叫他买股票也没有买,所以他现在没有攒下任何钱。故该判断错误。
