Man: Good morning. How can I help you?

Woman: Oh hello. I was wondering if you could have a look at my car.


There’s something wrong with it I think. It takes ages to get it
going in the morning.

Man: Let me see. Hmmm. That’s strange.

Woman: Well, it’s been like this for about a fortnight, so, I
thought it best to bring it in and have it checked.

Man: Yes. You were right to do that. There’s something wrong with
the starter motor I think. Look, leave it with me and I’ll see what
I can do.

Woman: Alright then. When will it be ready? Can you fix it now?

Man: Uh I’m afraid we’re very busy at the moment. You can probably
pick it up tomorrow.

Woman: Tomorrow? But I was hoping to do some shopping in town


tonight. Ah never mind. What time tomorrow?

Man: How about just before lunch - about 11.30?

Woman: Fine. I’ll see you then.
