A Problem with the Car
A woman is standing by her new Mercedes, which is parked on the side of a busy road. The car bonnet is open. She doesn’t know what to do and is confused. A man in a car stops to help…
M: Hi… Is there a problem?
W: Oh, my driver got sick and I can’t drive by myself. The car is broken.
M: OK. Don’t worry. I’m here to help you. What’s wrong with it?
W: I don’t know!
M: Is it the engine? It won’t start?
W: No, the engine is fine.
M: Then, maybe the breaks don’t work well? That would be bad…
W: Oh no. The breaks work well.
M: Maybe there’s no fuel? Have you checked the fuel gauge?
W: No, the tank is full! I’m sure that’s not the problem.
M: Hm… so what’s the problem?
W: I just can’t drive! Let’s go inside and I’ll show you!
(They get in.)
M: OK. Start the car, please.
(She starts the car normally)
M: Well it seems fine. The car works fine.
W: But I can’t drive! Look! I can’t see the road!
M: Oh… I know what the problem is… You need to close the bonnet!
