Conversation 1

　　A : What’s the bonus like at your company?

　　B : Well, it’s OK, I suppose. We get about the equivalent of six months’ salary.

　　A : Six months’ salary? Are you serious? That’s incredible!

　　B : Maybe. But you’d be amazed at how little’s left after the credit companies have deducted their share from my account.

　　A : Hey, I know what that’s like. I bought a BMW on my Visa card. Now the payments really hurt.

　　B : Well, you’re lucky that you’re still able to make your payments . I missed a credit payment last month. Now my bank account’s overdrawn, and the company is threatening to take back my purchases.

　　A : What did you buy?

　　B : A new98k横扫腾讯 home health monitor.

　　A : Health Monitor? I read an article about that racket. They’re overpriced to begin with! Listen: if I were you, I’d let them take back their monitor and spend my money on something more practical.

　　B : You’re kidding!

　　A : No joke!

　　B : That’s something else! Maybe I’ll return it to them.

　　Conversation 2
