Man: It’s very quiet. There’s just a small supermarket that sells food.
Woman: I don’t mind that. Can I take my car to the park?

Woman: And how much does it cost to go in?
Man: From Mondays to Fridays everyone pays twelve dollars, but at weekends it’s thirteen dollars for children and sixteen dollars for adults.
Woman: Right. Will I see any animals in the park next month?
