Unit 7

Part I Writing

Every Christmas season a poorly-dressed, elderly gentleman would appear in a certain store where he sampled puddings, but never bought any. Obviously he had come down in the world and could not afford to actually buy any pudding. One day a young man happened to meet him in the store. He felt some pity for the old man and offered to buy him one. On hearing the young man’s offer, the elderly gentleman jumped back in astonishment. With a quick decision he bought one of the most expensive puddings in the store. Evidently, the old chap was only buying that pudding to save his honor. The “sampler” may have been poor but he was a very, very proud man. Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

Conversation 1

I’m Looking for a Digital Camera

W Hi, can I help you?

M Yes, I’m looking for a digital camera that’s light, easy to use and of high quality.

W Ok. We have the Koolshot and the Opticool.

M Uh-huh. What’s the difference between them?

W The Koolshot is a little smaller, lighter and easier to use.

M Uh-huh…

W But the Opticool has more features, a more powerful zoom and it takes sharper pictures.

M I see. Do they both come with batteries?

W Yes. They both come with rechargeable batteries.

M That’s good. Umm… What’s the difference in price?

W Well, the Optical is seven hundred and ninety-nine dollars. More expensive but better quality. And the Koolshot, well, that’s six hundred and fifty dollars.

M Hmmm. I really like the Koolshot, and it’s cheaper but…I want quality. The problem is the Opticool is just a bit too expensive.

W Let me see. I can give you a fifty-dollar discount.

M Really? Do you take credit cards?

W Yes. we do.

M Great…then I’ll take the Opticool.
