Answer 1

Chris: That’s a lovely new car you’ve got, Fred. I’ve never seen such a beautiful machine. It looks twice as good as a car from a James Bond film!

Fred: Thanks, Chris. Actually, it’s the same as the one they used in the recent Batman film. I’m really happy with it.

Chris: It must be less fast than my car. But it would be far too expensive for me.

Fred: Well, these sorts of cars are not as expensive as you’d think nowadays. You should buy one! The sooner you go down to the car showroom, the sooner you’ll be driving in style!

Chris: I’m not sure, Fred. I think I would prefer to spend my money on a holiday rather than on a new car. Thanks for the tip though.
