聽錄音,然后回答問題。弗里斯先生可以用分期付款方式購買電視機嗎?如何操作呢?
MR. FRITH: I like television very much.
How much does it cost?
ASSISTANT: It's the most expensive
model in the shop.
It costs five hundred pounds.
MR. FRITH: That's too expensive for us.
We can't afford all that
money.
ASSISTANT: This model's less expensive
than that one.
It's only three hundred
pounds. But, of course,
it's not as good as the
expensive one.
MR. FRITH: I don't like the model.
The other model's more
expensive, but it's
worth the money.
MR. FRITH: Can we buy it on instalments?
ASSISTANT: Of course.
You can pay a deposit of
thirty pounds, and then
fourteen pounds a month for
three years.
MR. FRITH: Do you like it, dear?
MRS. FRITH:I certainly do,
but I don't like the price.
You always want the best,
but we can't afford it.
Sometimes you think
you're a millionaire!
MR. FRITH: Millionaires don't buy
things on instalments!
