Jack was his door.

SPRING Video Lessons Spring International Language Center Littleton, Colorado www.spring.edu/webroom SCRIPT – “Buying A Car” Idioms: as far as I know ripped off: a rip-off take it from me Phrasal Verbs: call up (check out) pick up Abubaker wants to buy a car, but he doesn’t have any idea. He is going to ask Awidat and Yvonne’s advice. Awidat and Yvonne are using some idioms and phrasal verbs in their conversation, which confuse Abubaker a lot. Let’s see what’s going on. Abubaker : Hello guys! How are you doing? Yvonne : Just fine! What have you been doing lately? Abubaker: I have been looking for a car for weeks. Could you please help me? Awidat: No problem. I will pick you up to go to a car dealership tomorrow. Abubaker: Wait! pick up? I don’t want to buy a “pickup” truck! I just need a small car. Awidat: No, pick up means to get somebody and drive him or her somewhere. So, I mean I will drive you with me to the car dealership, but which kind of car do you need to buy, a used car or a new car? Abubaker: OK! I see. I think I will buy a used one. Yvonne: No! Take it from me, that’s not a good idea to buy a used car. Abubaker: Take it from me? Do you mean you want me to take the car from you? But you need your car, don’t you? Yvonne: No, no, no. Take it from me means trust me, believe me. You should buy a new car. Awidat: I agree with Yvonne, because when I bought my car, it was used and I got ripped off. Abubaker: OK! Now, what do you mean about rip off? You are using so many phrasal verbs that I don’t understand. Awidat: Rip off means someone convinced you to pay too much for something, and it wasn’t good quality. So, I mean I paid too much for my used car, and it wasn’t good quality. Abubaker: Now, I understand you. Yvonne: My friend Alex is going to sell his car. I will call him up and ask him. Maybe we can make an appointment with him after we check out the car dealership tomorrow. Aubaker: Wait! Check out? Are we going to a hotel? We don’t need to check in the car dealership, right? Just kidding! I know what that means! It means look at some thing. Awidat: That is right. Abubaker: Anyway! That’s really helpful. But, are you sure that Alex won’t rip me off? Yvonne: Well… As far as I know, he is a nice guy. Abubaker: But as far as you know means you aren’t sure, so maybe he will rip me off? Awidat: Don’t worry Abubaker. I have experience. I will help you to make sure he doesn’t rip you off. Abubaker: Thanks for helping, guys. Then, I’ll see you tomorrow. Awidat and Yvonne: See you.
