Mr Frith:        I like this record-player very much. How much does it cost please?

Assistant:        It’s the most expensive model in the shop. It costs sixty-four pounds.

Mrs Frith:       That’s too expensive for us. We can’t afford all that money.

Assistant:        This model’s less expensive than that one. It’s only twenty-eight pounds.

But, of course, it’s not as good as the expensive one.

Mr Frith:        I don’t like this model.

The other model’s more expensive, but it’s worth the money.

Mr Frith:        Can we buy it on instalments?(分期付款)

Assistant:   Of course.  You can pay a deposit（保证金） of ten pounds, and then one pound a week for sixty weeks.

Mr Frith:        Do you like it, dear?

Mrs Frith:       I certainly do, but I don’t like the price.

You always want the best, but we can’t afford it.

Sometimes you think you’re a millionaire!

Mr Frith:        Millionaires don’t buy things on instalments !
