19. Wills
W: You’re late.
M: Yes, I’m really sorry. I had to wait ages for a bus.
W: Why didn’t you drive?
M: Ah, well, I’ve sold my car.
W: Oh, are you getting a new one?
M: No, I’m not getting another car. I’ve decided 1 to live without one.
W: Wow, what made you do that?
M: I think there’re too many cars, and this town is far too polluted 2.
W: Well, that’s true. But car is useful.
M: I don’t think so. Not in the city center anywhere. I can never find anywhere to park and spend most of time sitting in the traffic jam.
W: But how can you get to work?
M: By bicycle.
W: Don’t you think bicycle is dangerous?
M: Not really. I don’t think there is as dangerous as cars.
W: Well, I couldn’t do without my car. I have to take the children to school everyday 3.
M: I don’t think children get enough exercises these days. They should walk to school.
W: Well, I haven’t got children, but I agree with Joe. I couldn’t live without my car. I sometimes have to come home late from the office.
M: Why don’t get the bus. Public transport 4 is very good.
W: That’s not true. The buses are not very regular where I work. But anyway, I was a woman. I don’t feel safe waiting for a bus late at night.
M: Ok, I see what you mean. But don’t you worry about pollution?
W: Of course. But you don’t understand. It’s easy for you to worry about the environment. I have to worry about hurrying, shopping and children …
M: Ok, ok. You’re right. Come on. Let’s go to another drink. Hey, what do you think about my new haircut 5?
