 　　Unit 3

Party A

1.M: You are upset. What's wrong?

W: The electric company is going to shut off our service

M: Are we behind on the bills?

W: Yes, why didn't you take care of that bill?

M:I guess I forgot. I'll make them a check today.

2. W: Guess what! The toilet is still running over. You were going to fix it last night.

M:I thought I did. Well, we'd better call a plumber 1 then.

W: Alright. I’ll look one up in the phone book.

3. W: Jack 2, shall I wear my blue evening dress to the party tonight?

M: Can’t you wear your red one? Red seems perfect for the occasion 3, don’t you think?

W: But blue fits me better.

M: Then why did you have to ask me?

Part B

W: Andy, listen to this: one-bedroom apartment, modern kitchen, doorman building, ＄650 per month. What do you say we go and look at it?

M: What is wrong with where we are now?

W: I’m tired of living in a basement apartment. I want room; I want light; I want a view.

M: But ＄650 a month---it’s too much.

W: I think we can manage it.

M: I don’t think you’re taking the utilities 4 into account. Now with the telephone and electricity, that’s going to bring that up to＄750 a month.

W: Oh, I suppose you’re right. Okay, listen to this: fourthfloor walk-up, one-bedroom, utilities included, ＄450 a month.

M: I’m not going to walk up four flights of stairs every day.

W: All right. Here’s another one: East Parkside Avenue, two-bedroom,, large windowed kichen, high ceilings, two baths.

M: East Parkside Avenue! That’s a run-down neighborhood.

W: Okay, listen to this: Westville, spacious 5, one-bedroom, floor-through, renovated 6 building, working fireplace 7, eat-in kitchen.

M: You must joking! It’s nearly an hour away from where we work.

W: Okay. You’re so demanding, Andy.

M: I don’t know. Let me see. How’s this? Third Avenue, new building, excellent view…

W: Oh, that sounds fantastic. Let’s go and look at it right away.

M: Why right away?

W. Because you’ve been putting me off long enough.

M: You know, I’ll say this for you, Gloria. When you get your mind set on something, there’s no stopping you. But you know, that’s one of the things I like best about you!

M: Honey, what’s with the ＄125.45 phone bill? Over＄100 in long distance charges.

W: I don’t know, They’re not time. I’ve only made one call to Mother this month.

M: Really? Then someone has got a hold of our credit 8 card number and using it to make long distance calls. Virtually 9 all of the calls are credit card charges.

W: How many of the credit card calls do you think the person’s made?

M: Exactly ＄130.25. I’ve kept track of all of my long distance calls.

W: I’d love to give this person a piece of my mind if I could. But it would be virtually impossible to track the person down. And it would cost at least ＄50 to ＄100 to call those numbers again. What should we do?

M: I’m not going to put up with it any more. I think the best way to straighten the problem out is to call the phone company and change our calling card number.

W: We can’t afford to wait any longer. We must cut down the phone bill.

M: Yes, I’ll call the phone company tomorrow.
