Introducción

John and Chris are at a great street market today. There are so many stands of interesting products, from antiques, jewelry and collectibles to hand-made clothing, food and even small pets.

John y Chris están en un buen mercado callejero hoy. Hay tantas paradas de productos interesantes, desde antigüedades, joyas y coleccionables hasta ropa hecha a mano, comida y incluso pequeños animales domésticos.

John

Look at that stand, Chris. There are some old records!

Chris

Yeah, a lot of people are collecting records again.

Chris

Wow! Here is the first album by U2. I would love to own this!

John

Pretty cool! How much is this?

Vendor

This one is very special. There are only a few copies left. It's $25.

Chris

Twenty-five dollars? I'll give you $15 for it.

Vendor

Sorry, I can't go lower than $22.

Chris

Come on…. how about $20?

Vendor

Okay, but that's the lowest I will go. Would you like me to wrap it?

Chris

Yes, please or else it will get scratched in my bag.

A little bit later…

John

I would like to go look at those antique clocks and watches. My Dad's birthday is coming up and he loves antiques.

Chris

Okay, let's go over there.

John

This watch is gorgeous. I think my Dad would love this.

Chris

Yes, it's nice. Do you think it works?

John

How old is this watch?

Vendor

It's 40 years old.

John

Where was it made?

Vendor

In Switzerland. It's a very good piece.

John

Does it work?

Vendor

Yes, of course. It just needs a new battery.

John

Do you have one so we can check?

Vendor

Sure, I will show you.

John

My Dad already has two other watches, but neither of them works so he doesn't wear either of them lately.

Chris

I bet you he would be very happy with this.

John

How much is it?

Vendor

$100.

John

I don't have enough money. Can't you sell it to me for less?

Vendor

No. This piece is a high-quality Swiss watch.

John

How about $75?

Vendor

Sorry. I can't go lower than $100 I'm afraid.

John

Oh well, that's too bad. I can't afford it. Thank you either way.

Vendor

Have you seen this watch? It's in your price range.

John

It's nice, but I don't think my Dad will like it. Thanks anyway.

Vendor

Have a nice day!
