now i want to be independent i also saved up some money from my part-time jobs though i still have to borrow some from you to be able to buy a car now that you have a license and you know how to drive i think there is no problem with getting your own car really thanks dad but buying a car is pretty expensive do you want to drive mine to school but then you can't drive to work right right [Music] we can buy a used car dad i think it wouldn't be too expensive i heard an average used car only costs around two thousand dollars which is half a price of a new cheap car besides a used car does not mean it has bad quality we can always check it when we go buying some are almost like new too what do you think that's a great idea yeah why didn't i think of that see dad there's always a solution to everything speaking of used cars i have a friend who works as a salesperson in a used car garage we can go there he can help us with choosing the best car that's great dad which garage is that i think the garage is called max carr should we go there this sunday i think that would be great okay so sunday it is [Music] welcome to max cut isn't this jackson long time no see how are you long time no see tim i'm doing great how are you i'm good too it's so good to see you again and this must be your daughter right hi i'm liz nice to meet you nice to meet you too so we are here to buy my daughter a car she just got her license so i want her to be able to drive herself to school every day we are looking for a car that is suitable for her oh i see i can help you with that what is the price you are looking for i can afford a car that is around 2000 or two thousand five hundred dollars i see [Music] and let me introduce this one [Music] this is suzuki car modeled s200 it is a four seater car it's a common option for ladies this one looks so pretty you of taste liz the color bronze makes it look elegant and stand out can you tell me a bit about this car's history how long was it used oh i got this one from a young household they wanted to buy a seven seated car so they sold this one to us [Music] i think it was used for around five years the condition is pretty mint do you know if it was in any accidents before from what the former owner shared no it has not been in any serious accidents before but it did have a fender bender once nothing serious in my opinion but it did leave a small scratch near the car's taillight you can see it here oh it does not look too bad we can get it fixed right of course this one can be handled by any auto repair shop our garage can help you find ones at a cheap price thank you for that i have another question was this car frequently used in the past i think not every day this person usually commuted by train to work so his family only used this car for trips to the mall or far places [Music] it was used like once or twice a week which was around 100 miles a week have the former owner changed the timing belt and water pump for this car before yes they did it once last year oh i forgot to ask how much is it we sell it for two thousand dollars hmm not too bad i like this one liz what do you think i like it too dad great then we have decided to buy this car perfect we recommend you bring it to an auto repair shop for checking and fixing before actually driving the car you can visit the shop called max repair all of our customers go to this shop for renovating their car thank you for the recommendation okay now we will proceed with the paperwork inside please come with me okay thank you tim [Music] welcome to max repair auto shop well how can i help you hi i just bought a used car and i want to check and repaint it sure what's the problem there's a small scratch next to the car's left tail light can you see it [Music] i want

dialogue three patrick jane and lucas are people from three different countries who became friends after a volunteer trip they called each other before christmas and shared about their country's christmas hi guys how are you good to see you long time no see right watcha what have you been up to well i'm preparing for the christmas holiday oh how is christmas celebrated in the united states that's great do you have turkey for your christmas dinner unfortunately no an indispensable item on the british christmas table is the pudding with special things hidden in the filling what does it contain inside sometimes it's a pea or a coin [Music] which is said to bring good luck to the person who receives it wow sounds interesting is there a holiday similar to christmas in your home country we also have a christmas holiday but it's not similar there in italy our christmas dinner is usually a sumptuous meal which has a dish of grilled eel a traditional vegetable plate called cardoni and a pastry with cream cheese [Music] wow you have a big and delicious dinner for christmas eve well in my country going to the christmas market is a tradition for us germans the market's most famous merchandise is the dresdener chris dolin wow that would be so yummy i want to try it that would be okay if you came to my country yeah i will do it in the future all right i'll be waiting so in your country what do people usually do on christmas day in germany adults usually put a table near the window with many dishes children draw pictures on the windowsill all night so that santa doesn't forget to fill their dishes with candy and treats [Music] really in england children often write letters to santa claus and throw them into the fireplace throw them into the fireplace why do they do that because they believed that these letters would fly through the chimney and reach the north pole where santa's abode for the sake that's amazing how about in your country lucas according to traditional italian custom it's not an old man but an old woman named strega bufana who will visit the children wow that's so unique and special yeah but sorry guys last night i made my brother a promise to go skating this afternoon so i'm afraid i have to go now that's fine catch you later bye see you soon [Music] talking about rumors [Music] hey victor have you finished our monthly financial

career path i could properly be famous now [Music] two thousand dollars twenty five hundred dollars no one is paying higher going once going twice sold so the 2500 painting by famous artist victor will belong to this lady thank you thank you [Music] hey victor victor you need to stop daydreaming our boss is coming in no time amy you know what i think i will quit this job and follow my truest desire victor [Music] hey phoebe have you heard the news what news everyone is talking about it victor the accountant guy has been promoted to be the chief accountant chief accountant i heard he's promoted to be our manager but he rejected the offer oh that's such a surprise why did he refuse that golden opportunity i heard that victor's father is a millionaire the father was also a very well-known painter so he taught victor drawing and painting the family is really wealthy but the father wanted victor to experience living like a normal worker people said that was the last wish before the death of victor's father oh gosh i sensed something fishy about victor he always seemed to be asleep and quiet shh yes because he just works to fulfill his father's last wishes oh there goes amy she's really close with victor let's ask her [Music] oh my gosh i don't even know what you are talking about rumors flew but they were untrue victor's father is not a millionaire that is not

morning bob good morning shaylee where is nina didn't she go to work with you ugh nina is still under the weather she's ill [Music] no she's still a bit drunk after the party [Music] we don't think she's sober enough to go to work so nina took an absence today oh i see it was so bad that you couldn't come to the party last night shaylee why so at the party last night boss ordered a lot of pizzas and drinks for us people were eating chit chatting dancing and eating again we had a lot of fun but it was probably because of the pizza some people had troubles after eating too they vomited it was such a stinky mess when checking if nina was doing okay she looked totally under the weather i mean she was wasted when i saw her nina you are such a party animal but i think you should stop drinking my friends who are you are you bob yes i am nice to meet you bob oh this is my favorite song it is let's dance okay so you guys kept dancing and drinking more not for long shaylee nina threw up on me when we were in the middle of the dancing you yucky nina oh come on this is my favorite t-shirt not anymore [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] i told you too if you hadn't drunk too much you would not be under the weather now yeah i regret it so much now [Music] marriage watch the following video to see how the characters talk about marry the life and their views on marriage marriage conflicts [Music] why are you looking so tired these days jack yeah my wife and i are having a difficult time these days we are fighting all the time she seems to change so much after having a baby really what's wrong it's all these little things that keep adding up so i'm very tired for example i came home from work being so tired and the house was a mess sometimes i threw my clothes away on the floor thinking it's messy anyway i would clean up everything later but she was extremely angry with me about that okay is there anything else another okay milk bottle story for example there was some milk left over she asked me to empty the bottle and wash it but i was so busy that day that i forgot when she found out she grumbled all night if you are tired all day at work then come home and have to listen to your wife be cranky are you happy okay got it i think you should have more sympathy with your wife she just gave birth many women also experience postpartum depression so it's normal to get angry easily besides you're the one who made mistakes anyway your reason for everything is that you come home from work being tired but it may be even more tying for her to take care of the baby alone all day at least you shouldn't add more work for her right back to the milk bottle you don't know how carefully mothers take care of their babies just thinking about the bacteria multiplying in the baby's bottle is driving them crazy besides maybe she needed a bottle for her baby right away but she didn't have one washing and cleaning the bottle also takes time baby can't wait you know yeah it seems like i was too careless actually i'm not mad at her at all i'm just a little tired of hearing complaints all day long then you should think about how tired she is from the lack of sleep to take care of the baby i think if you apologize to her and explain that you are also a first-time father you may make many mistakes but we'll try to help her more i think she will be happy again i understand thank you i will try to talk to her and help her more [Music] will you do me the honor of being your husband [Music] lily time flies so fast it's already our two year anniversary right so quick i'm glad i had you by my side all this time so am i today i order this crab soup i know you like it a lot try it so delicious i love it thank you i still remember on our first date you took me here and let me try it john i saw something on the plate let me finish the soup oh my god john [Music] lily these two years with you have been the happiest time of my life we have gone through many ups and downs together many challenges and grown up together every single day i now know that you and i are truly meant to be together you are the one i've been waiting for my whole life i believe it is the time we should move one step forward lily let's get married let's spend the rest of our lives together will you do me the honor of being your husband yes john of course yes she said yes oh my god john i was so surprised what if i didn't finish the soup i knew you would finish it very quickly i know you too well lily [Music] happy marriage [Music] hi kelly how are you it has been a few months since the last time we met i'm fine thanks catty how are you and your family never better thank you for asking i really admire you and eric you are such a perfect couple though how long have you been married now almost 10 years that's a long time no regrets no there are ups and downs of course but i wouldn't change it for anything i'm so glad to hear that what is the key to a happy marriage in your opinion yeah it works well of course part of being a good couple is knowing when to give each other some space that's true i see a lot of people who move in together and they give up all the things which make them individuals we spend a lot of time together but we have our own friends our own hobbies and so on sure you mean you don't want to be too dependent on each other absolutely although you need to strike a balance you need to make time for each other too of course i imagine that it can be easy to let things slip when you've been together so long yeah it's dangerous actually you can't take things for granted otherwise your relationship will suffer one more thing is we have a cute daughter i think having a child really strengthens the connection between two people of course but you know sometimes conflict happens the most when you're parenting that's right therefore i think the most important thing to maintain a happy marriage is sharing respect and understanding thanks a lot for your sharing catty i definitely learned something today [Music] traffic violations when you go somewhere you're always in traffic before going to your destination this video is
