Sample answer:
That is true! I definitely believe that the increase in the price of gasoline/fuel greatly affects the
market today, since everything else follows its increase. The price of a number of commodities
also increases because of the inflation rate. If the crude price increase, dollar exchange rates are
also affected; there would be a chain effect on everything that depends on fuel gases.

3. Do you think that the gasoline stations, most especially the big players, have
a great responsibility in keeping a healthy and clean environment?

Sample answer:
Yes, oil companies have a great responsibility in preserving the environment. The use of fossil
fuels has contributed to the ozone layer depletion and greenhouse effect. The presence of pol-
lutants emitted by gasoline/fuel pollutes the air. Therefore, these companies should consider
supporting the Department of Energy in their program of endorsing E10 or ethanol pre-blend-
ed gasoline as an alternative fuel.

You rushed to the nearest Shell gasoline station on Maple Street, London.

Sample answer:
Sir, could you give me a hand? My car was stuck on the road nearby because I ran out of fuel.
Could you help me push my car so I can refill it? I am glad you could help me, let me lead the
way. I need to refill my tank with unleaded gasoline. I would have a full tank. I do not want
running out of gas again. I am lucky that there happens to be a gas station nearby. How much
do I have to pay you for your service aside from the gas? Thank you for the free service. Here is
$1883.655 for 15 liters. I would also request pumping some air in the front tire. I truly admire
your service here. Please take this small amount as a sign of my deepest gratitude. I will be
coming back here. Have a great day!
