A: Hello, Steve?
B: Hi, Veronica. What's going on?
A: Oh, my car's having problems again, but I don't have the time
or the money to get it fixed.
B: Is it really bad?
A: It's starting to overheat whenever I'm idling or in heavy
traffic, and two days ago I had to pull off the expressway and
wait until the engine cooled down.
B: Have you taken it into a shop?
A: Well, I went to two different places yesterday; one mechanic
said he'd check the coolant level and look for fluid leaks, and
the other guy said he thought it was the thermostat. I didn't
leave the car with either of them, though, because I didn't have
a ride back.
B: What are you going to do?
A: I really don't know. I'll have to figure out something; the
bus service is terrible around where I live. Anyway, could I ask
you for a favor?
B: Of course, what is it?
A: You know, tomorrow's Monday and we're supposed to turn in
our homework in English, but I'm only gotten halfway through it-I've
just been too busy. If I came over, would you help me finish it?
B: Sure, I'll be here all evening. And actually I haven't finished
the homework either; I've just been putting it off, so it's good
you're coming over-I need someone to motivate me.
