 Neighbors
Claude: Hello Alice! What are you doing now?

Alice: Oh! Hi Claude, I am trying to fix the faucet, it is broken, and the tube is leaking lots of water.

Claude: I see, water is becoming a big problem, the pressure is weak at home and I must collect it
on recipients.

Alice: I am wondering why we are having this problem, every other month we have to pay for the
bill, and we started with this problem some weeks ago.

Claude: let me give you a hand, but I must confess I am not a fixer at all, I am more an office guy.

Alice: You are so kind, I am watching a video on you tube that explains how to fix this issue, look at
my cellphone, I guess it is necessary to change the whole connection.

Claude: It is not cheap at all, and the water is leaking a lot, I guess you had better call a plumber,
because the situation could be worse.

Alice: It makes sense to me, I am not sure if the hardware store is open today or maybe I can look
for a plumber on internet, I hope it is not expensive.

Claude: it depends on the damage, I guess a plumber might fix this issue fast, they are prepared
for this and he may take a look to my problem of water as well.

Alice: It sounds great Claude, so that could be cheap for both and fix our issues, let’s take a look to
some plumbers on internet.

Claude: Yeah; but it is important for you to stop that leaking of water on the tube first, we have no
idea if the plumber is attending something now.

Alice: I am using some tape meanwhile; it is just for a moment besides there are many plumbers
available and not all of them are busy now.

Claude: I guess it is not a good idea just to tape the tube, you should close the main source of
water in order to stop the leaking.

Alice: The problem is that I do not have idea where the main source of the water service is, from
this house.

Claude: it is near to the kitchen in a small door, maybe you have some stuff around that door, and
you may not see it.

Alice: Please, help me to find it, I do not know what small door are you talking about?

Claude: it is ok, let me go in and close the source, please contact the plumber we cannot waste
more time.

Alice: Good idea Claude, I hope the plumber comes as soon as possible.
