A: Right now you’re taking a small car, but you know, I can give you a much more comfortable car if you like

B: How much more will it cost to take a large car?

A: It’s only an extra $5 a day if you take it for the whole weekend.

B: Oh, that’s a good idea because we’ll have more room. We have three children, so a bigger car would be much more comfortable.

2.

A: Would you like to buy a city guide?

B: How much is it?

A: It’s $15.

B: Fifteen dollars? Can I look at it?

A: Sure, Here you are.

B: Let me see what kind of information it has in it. Hmm, sightseeing, restaurants, hotels. Actually, I already have a guide that has all that information. So, thanks anyway.

A: No problem.

A: It’s cheaper for you to take the car for three days instead of just for two days.

B: How come?

A: Well, it’s $30 a day, but if you take it for three days, we have a special rate of just $70 altogether.

B: I see. Actually, I’m leaving on Sunday. I really only need it for two days. Thanks anyway.

4.

A: Would you like to take out accident insurance? We have an excellent policy we can offer you. Take a look at this brochure. It gives you all the information you’ll need.

B; Thanks. Let me see… what does it say? Oh, I see. It only costs an extra five dollars a day. That seems pretty reasonable.

A: So, you’ll take the accident insurance?

B: Yes. I think I will because I can drive without worrying.

A: You certainly can.

5.

A: Now, are you sure you wouldn’t like to rent a bigger car? The car you’ve asked for only has two doors. If s probably more convenient to have a four-door car,

B: Does it cost any more?

A: If s just an extra $10 for a four-door.

B: Well, I don’t think if s necessary because I’D be alone. A small two- door car is fine. Thanks anyway.
