Bob: Hey Al, where’s your car? Al: Oh, I took it to the repair shop. Bob: Oh, did you have an accident? Al: No, I left it for the mechanic for a tune-up. Bob: When will it be ready? Al: The mechanic said it will be ready on Monday. Bob: That’s such a long time! Al: Yeah, it is a long time. Bob: Are you planning on going on a trip? Al: No, I just take it to the mechanics every three thousand kilometers or so. Bob: Why do you do that Al: It’s very old, it needs a lot of care. Bob: How old is your car? Al: It’s a 1975 model. Bob: Haha, that’s not so old. My grandmother was born in 1912. Al: Well, I guess compared to your grandmother, my car isn’t that old. Bob: Hey, wait a minute. How are going to get to the movie? Al: We can walk or go by train. Up to you. Bob: Are you crazy? Walk? The shopping mall is much too far
Al: In that case, we’ll go by train.
