Driving an Off-Road Vehicle 


Claudia: When you invited me to go for a drive, this wasn’t what I pictured. 


Jae: You’re about to have the ride of your life. Get in and I’ll strap 1 you in. 


Claudia: What is this thing? 


Jae: It’s an off-road vehicle. Haven’t you seen one before? It has four-wheel drive and can travel on any terrain 2


Claudia: When you say “any terrain,” what exactly do you mean? 


Jae: With this baby, we can drive on sand, gravel 3, mud, and even snow. 


Claudia: You mean you intend to take me driving on sand and gravel? 


Jae: Yeah, just wait until we start spinning and skidding 4. You’re going to love it. You’d better put on this crash helmet – just in case. 


Claudia: I was picturing a drive in the country. 


Jae: But this is much more exciting, right? 


Claudia: I don’t know... 


Jae: Come on. If you’re lucky, I’ll take you mudding next weekend. 


Claudia: Whoopee.
