Electric Car Or Gasoline Car?

(1) Will:

Listen

Our car is getting old. We need a new car.

(2) Rachel:

Listen

Yes, we talked about this before. We definitely need a new car.

(3) Will:

Listen

What kind of car do you have in [vocab word=mind]mind[/vocab]?

This means "What kind of car are you thinking of?" or "What kind of car do you want to buy?"

(4) Rachel:

Listen

I think an [vocab word=electric]electric[/vocab] car is the best.

An electric car runs on electricity. It doesn't use gasoline.

(5) Will:

Listen

Why do you want an electric car? A regular [vocab word=gasoline]gasoline[/vocab] car is better.

"Better" is the comparative adjective of "good".

(6) Rachel:

Listen

Will, an electric car is better for the [vocab word=environment]environment[/vocab].

(7) Will:

Listen

I know. But, electric cars are more expensive than a gasoline car. A [vocab word=typical]typical[/vocab] electric car [vocab word=cost]costs[/vocab] 40000 dollars or more.

"than" is a preposition. Will is comparing the price of an electric car with the price of a gasoline car. (The price of an electric car > the price of a gasoline car)

(8) Rachel:

Listen

But, in the long run, you pay more money to [vocab word=maintain]maintain[/vocab] a gasoline car than an electric car. You never have to do an [vocab word=oil]oil[/vocab] change for an electric car, for example.

"In the long run" means over a long time (5 years, 10 years ...) "More" is a comparative adjective. We are placing this comparative adjective in front of a noun ("money").

(9) Will:

Listen

The battery in an electric car can die. Batteries for electric cars are very expensive.

(10) Rachel:

Listen

A battery in an electric car [vocab word=last]lasts[/vocab] between 10 and 20 years. So, we won't have to worry about the battery.

(11) Will:

Listen

Gasoline cars are more [vocab word=convenient]convenient[/vocab] than electric cars. There are more [vocab word=gas station]gas stations[/vocab] than [vocab word=charging station]charging stations[/vocab] in this town.

"More convenient" is a comparative adjective of "convenient".

(12) Rachel:

Listen

That's true. But, you can [vocab word=charge]charge[/vocab] an electric car at home.

(13) Will:

Listen

There are more choices for gasoline cars than electric cars. There aren't many electric cars in the [vocab word=market]market[/vocab].

(14) Rachel:

Listen

We could go to an electric car [vocab word=dealership]dealership[/vocab] together. I think you'll love BMW's new electric car.

A car dealership sells cars. Rachel used the modal verb "could". You can use "could" to make a suggestion.

(15) Will:

Listen

Alright. We'll go next Saturday.
