12 #Needing_a_New_Computer
MIKE : I think I need a new computer.
GARY : Why?
MIKE : Mine is so slow now. It takes a long time to start up and it keeps freezing.
GARY : That's not good. How old is it?
MIKE : Several years old. It was a high school graduation gift from my parents.
GARY : Yeah, it's probably time to replace it.
MIKE : I don't know what to buy. There are so many different models these days.
GARY : You should go to a computer store and ask about the different kinds?
MIKE : That's a good idea. Do you want to go with me?
GARY : When? I have to work today. Can you wait until tomorrow?
MIKE : Sure. I have to work until 5 pm tomorrow. Can you go around 6 o'clock tomorrow evening?
GARY : Yeah. Let's meet at your place at 6 pm.
MIKE : Ok. I'll do some research on computers tonight.
GARY : My brother just bought a brand new computer too. I can ask him if he likes it.
MIKE : That would be great!
GARY : See you tomorrow around 6 pm.

LINDA: Something is wrong with my refrigerator.
SUE: What's wrong with it?
LINDA: It's not staying cold.
SUE: That could be a big problem.
LINDA: I know. I'm worried that my food is going to spoil. I just went grocery shopping yesterday.
SUE: I have room in my second refrigerator if you need to store some things.
LINDA: You have two refrigerators?
SUE: Yeah. We needed two refrigerators because I cook a lot. There was a big sale at the appliance store, so we bought another one last week.
LINDA: Is the sale still going on? I may need to buy a new one.
SUE: Today is the last day of the sale.
LINDA: Then I better tell my husband. We need to go today.
SUE: Isn't your husband a great repairman? Maybe he can fix your refrigerator.
LINDA: It's getting old. I'd rather buy a new one.
SUE: If your husband can fix your broken one, you can have two refrigerators like me.

14 #New_Appliance_Store
JOAN: Hi CAROL There's a new appliance store opening downtown today. Have you seen the flyer for the grand opening?
CAROL: Hi JOAN Yeah, I was thinking about checking it out.
JOAN: Do you want to go together?
CAROL: Sure. I don't need a new appliance, but I would love to update my washer and dryer one day.
JOAN: I just bought a new washer and dryer set. I love it!
CAROL: I'm jealous. My set is really old. It takes a long time to wash and dry.
JOAN: You should really look into upgrading your set. It can save you money.
CAROL: How can it save me money?
JOAN: The new washers use less water and the dryers use less energy.
CAROL: Really? Maybe it's time for an upgrade.
JOAN: I can show you what I bought.
CAROL: That would be great! Maybe it will be on sale.
JOAN: I wish I knew about the new store when I bought my set. I paid full price for mine.
CAROL: You didn't buy it on sale?
JOAN: No, I was foolish.
CAROL: I'm not jealous anymore.
JOAN: Let's go check out the new store.
