Friend:   Peter, you’re learning to drive, aren’t you? Do you go to the AA Driving School?

Peter:   Actually it’s called the ABC Driving School.

Friend:   Is it expensive? I want to learn to drive.

Peter:   It’s cost me a hundred and forty pounds already. I’ve had ten lessons and each one is fourteen pounds.

Friend:   Is that for an hour?

Peter:   Mm … less than that – about three quarters of an hour.

Friend:   I see. And is the teacher’s car new?

Peter:   Yes, and it’s not a big car so parking’s easy, but it doesn’t go very fast!

Friend:   When are you going to take your driving test?

Peter:   I failed it last week. The traffic lights were red but I didn’t see them and I couldn’t brake in time.

Friend:   Never mind. You can take the test again. Tell me about your teacher. Is he friendly?

Peter:   He’s OK, he’s quite young and interesting to talk to, but my father will give me my next lessons. He’s cheaper!

Friend:   Well, good luck!
