本单元是关于对 Tim 回报的对话


Tim: Hello I'm calling from McCarthy's. I helped you when you were looking at watches the other day.

Tim: Well, you dropped 150 pounds!
Customer: Really!
Tim: Yes. Now, how can I return your money?
Customer: Oh how refreshingly 2 honest! But I think a small reward 3 is in order, don't you?
Tim: Oh I couldn't.

Tim: No I don't. I'm single just now.
Customer: A good looking man like you? I don't believe it!

Nobody/no-one, nothing and nowhere 8

In a statement 9:

In a short answer:
