Exercise 3

1. Sam (8 years old) is watching the pump attendant fill petrol into his father's car from the rear window. Write a dialogue for a conversation between the boy and pump attendant.

Dialogue :

Sam: Hello.
Pump Attendant: Hello little boy.
Sam: What are you doing?
Pump Attendant: I am filling petrol into your father's car.
Sam: Why are you doing it?
Pump Attendant: I am filling petrol in cars because if the car is out of petrol, the car will not be able to move. Therefore, your father will not be able to drive it.

Sam: Is it dangerous?

Pump Attendant: Well, to me it is not. Because I have been filling petrol in to my customers' cars for 10 years already.

Sam: Is petrol expensive?

Pump Attendant: It depends on the amount of petrol the customer wants in his or her car.

Sam: Are there always so many people coming here?

Pump Attendant: Well, yes. Many people would come here for filling up petrol in their cars in order for it to move. They can also come here to have a car wash or buy anything from the shop right over there.

Sam: Why do you always have to help people to fill petrol? Can't they do it themselves?

Pump Attendant: Well, some people do not know how to fill petrol in their car. That is why our company here has many pump attendants, to help our customers pump petrol into their car.

Pump Attendant: Are there anymore questions?

Sam: No, I do not have anymore questions. Thank you very much for answering all my curious questions, and my father just came back. Goodbye Mr Pump Attendant!

Pump Attendant: You're welcome. Goodbye little boy!
