Maya: how do you usually get to school?
Anthony: I usually ride my bike. Which form of transport do you prefer to use?
M: I feel that I can see more when I pedal a bicycle, but when I feel lazy, I drive my car.
A: I think we should discourage people from using their private cars. They produce too much pollution!
M: I agree, but I would find it difficult to stop using my car. It's just so convenient.
A: cars might be convenient, but they're so bad for the environment.
M: do you have a car?
A: no. I used to have one though. Once I started using my bicycle to get around, I found that I didn't really need it.
M: maybe if I sold my car now, I wouldn't be so tempted to use it.
A: you could try. It would save you a lot of money.
M: that's true. Every month, I spend hunderds of dollars on gas, insurance, and repairs.
A: if you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving, you will get lots of exercise, too!
M: I could stand to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking anywhere!
A: let's go to a car dealership. I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price.
M: sounds good! Let's go!
