Things for Sale
1 A Hello. The Pearson residence.
B Oh hello. I was ringing up about the advertisement in the paper for an electric
cooker. Is that you?
A Yes, it is. We still have it for sale.
B Oh good. How old is it?
A Well, it's about five or six years old. (Uh huh) It has two ovens (Uh huh) and four
burners and it's in very good condition.
B Are you still using it?
A No, we're not using it any more because we've bought a gas cooker. (Ah) Would
you like to come and take a look at it?
B Yes, I think so. Where are you, actually?
2 A Hello. 770606.
B Hello. Is that the person who's advertising the wooden desk?
A Oh yes, yes, that's right, yeah, that's me. (In the paper)
B You've still got it, have you? (Yeah, yeah) What sort of desk is it?
A Well, it's a bit of an antique, actually, used to belong to my granddad. It's got, well
obviously a fold-out bit at the top which you can write in, and it's got three drawers
underneath. It's quite interesting.
B And what's it made of? What's the wood?
A I'm not a great expert at wood, actually, but I think it's got some sort of veneer
over the top which looks like walnut. I don't know if is. (Really?) It is old. B And
you're selling it for Ј60?
A Yeah, or near offer, yeah.
B Yeah. OK, well can I come and see it?
A Yeah. It's a bit difficult today, but are you free tomorrow any time?
B Yeah, in the morning I could come.
A Morning, fine, yeah. What time would suit you?
B About nine o'clock.
A Right, OK, nine o'clock. (OK) What's your name, sorry?
