[04:35.69]Exercise 2
[04:39.36]Directions:
[04:42.64]Listen to the second part of the program twice
[04:47.82]and write"T" for true and "F" for false in the space provided.
[04:55.78]Jack: Now let's go staight to our first caller, Mr Black from London
[05:02.44]Good morning, Mr Black. How can I help you?
[05:07.62]Mr Black: Well, I was looking for a second-hand car
[05:13.20]and I saw this advertisement in the local newspaper and it was the car I wanted
[05:21.48]It was  &1,150 and it was described as perfect
[05:29.69]I went to see the car. It looked very good, so I bought it...Mr Black.
[05:37.75]Mary:could I interrupt?
[05:40.74]Mr Black: Yes, please.
[05:44.30]Mary: Did you pay the full asking price for the car?
[05:50.10]Mr Black: Yes, I paid 1, 150 for it. It seemed all right when I bought it
[05:59.64]But a few days later, I had some trouble starting it, and when it was started,
[06:07.56]it didn't run very well.So I took it to the local garage
[06:15.30]They had a good look at it and they said everything was wrong with it
[06:21.74]It had been damaged in an accident and the repairs hadn't been very good
[06:28.48]So it wasn't worth the money I'd paid for it
[06:34.45]In fact, they said it was only worth 40 ponds
[06:40.93]That's a lot less than I'd paid for it
[06:45.83]So I went back to the man, but he didn't really want to know
[06:52.60]and I don't know what to do now.
[06:57.06]Mary: Mr Black, the most important point here is.
[07:02.75]Was the seller a dealer or was this a private sale?
[07:09.05]Mr Black: I don't think he was a dealer.
[07:13.51]Mary: Well, unfortunately, with
[07:17.69]private sales the buyer has very little protection under the law
[07:23.77]did the man say that the car was perfect?
[07:28.52]Mr Black: Yes.
[07:31.44]Mary: When you bought the car, you bought it understanding that it was faultles
[07:38.21]That there was nothing wrong with it at all?
[07:42.13]Mr Black: Yes, yeah.
[07:45.44]Mary: I'm sorry to be a little pessimistic, Mr Black
[07:50.66]I think it's probably worthwhile making a claim under the Small Claims Procedure
