Lesson 19.
YOUR CAR BREAKS DOWN
I. NOTE
Many Americans now have telephones in their cars. Increasingly, you will see
people driving while holding a telephone. Some are concerned that it is unwise to
drive engage in a telephone conversation at the same time. Those who have car
telephones defend their use by saying that they actually drive more slowly and
cautiously, because they are not in such hurry to get to the office to return their phone
calls.
Throughout the U.S., the number 911 has been recognized as an emergency
telephone number. By dialing 911, you can report your whereabouts and a life-
threatening situation. Fire, police, or medical personnel are then dispatched
depending on the circumstances.
II. DIALOGUE
You: I don’t know what’s wrong. It’s a rental car. Maybe I should call the emergency
number of the agency.
Motorist: Can I give you a lift to the next exit?
(You notice that he has a telephone in his car.)
You: If you don’t mind, I think I’ll call the rental agency.
Motorist: Not at all. Go right ahead.
