How much is this per day, and what

are the policies?

Store Owner: Good morning, Miss, what can I do for you?
Traveler: I’m looking for a car that fi ts my personality. Could you help me with that, Sir? A small
car will do just fi ne, I think.
Store Owner: Well, that’s bit diffi cult because I don’t know what you like in a car, but if I’ll just
base it on my fi rst impression on you, I guess you’ll fi t in a posh car.
Traveler: Oh, I’m not really like that, Sir. I prefer simple but a bit elegant. Just enough that I can
go out anywhere without any hassle but a bit cute of course.
Store Owner: Well, in that case, I recommend you a Chevy, Aveo.
Traveler: Sounds nice, can I see it? Isn’t this the cute car that’s hot nowadays? I can go anywhere
else with it with out any hassle.
Store Owner: That’s right, Ma’am. Here it is.
Traveler: Oh, I like this car. It seems perfect for me; I love shades of yellow too! Can I see what’s
inside? This one’s ok for me. Can we have it hit the road, so I could check its performance?
Store Owner: Sure, why not, Ma’am! It’s my pleasure.
Traveler: Well, I can see that the engine is good too, and I love the seat as well. How much is
this per day, and what are the policies?
Store Owner: Madam it’s $40.95 per day. Since it’s an Economy car, the miles are unlimited.
The location is counter in the airport or shuttle to car, and the seats as you can see are good
for two adults and two children; therefore, you can bring along your friends with you when
you drive around.
Traveler: Ok, we have a deal! Let’s go back to the station, so I can give you a deposit.
Store Owner: Yes Madam. As you wish.
Traveler: Thanks!

1. Have you ever tried renting a car?

Sample answer:
Yes, when my car overheated in the middle of nowhere. I was so exhausted that day, and unfor-
tunately, there were no taxi in sight. I guess it’s a good time to rent a car.

2. Do you usually take time to check the car’s engine before hitting the road
