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.
