There is traffic, traffic lights, and it is hard to find a parking place. -How much is that phone? -It’s 300 euro. -Oh, this is . It is expensive for me. I haven’t got money to buy it. Do you have a cheaper one? -This one is only 100. I think it is cheap . -Perfect! The more expensive one has functions anyway. -How is your coffee? -It is not strong . And it’s sweet; there is sugar in it. And how is yours? -Mine is bitter. It doesn’t have sugar. There aren’t places where you can have a good coffee! -Whose toys are these? -They are my brother’s. He has toys and they take out space. But he always says he doesn’t have toys. He is spoiled. I don’t have toys, but they are for me. -Whom did you call? -I called my sister, but she was busy to talk. She said she has work to do, reports to write, and not time to finish it all. -And does she get money for her work? -No, she doesn’t.

He had cocktails. -Yes, I told him he had drinks, but he didn’t listen to me. He is drinking alcohol these days... -Where do you want to go tonight? -I don’t know, we don’t have options. There are not bars in this little town. I don’t want to stay late anyway, because I have to wake up early. And I had partying last week. -Why don’t you bake a cake today? -I don’t have flour; I forgot to buy. Last week I made cookies and cupcakes. But I misread the cookie recipe and I used flour and not eggs. -Yes, the cookies were tough to eat… -Who turned the TV volume up? It is high. Turn it down, please. decibels aren’t good for your ears. -But, Mom, when the volume is low I can’t hear clear what they’re saying. -Well, maybe you should turn the TV off. You watch TV anyway and I think you’ve had cartoons for today.
