IV. Speaking Out

MODEL 1   Don’t let it get to you!

Susan: You look so angry. What happened?

Chris: Nothing I’d rather not talk about it. Just don’t ask.

Susan: Come on. Relax. Talk to me.

Chris: All right. This morning I took my car to the garage to check the air conditioner. They only gave it a quick look, refilled it with some Freon, and charged me 300bucks!

Susan: No wonder you’re livid. I’d be mad too if someone ripped 1 me off like that.

Chris: Yeah. And they were rude. They said I didn’t know anything about cars, which I don’t, but they didn’t have to be blunt 2!


Susan: Sounds like you got a raw deal!

Chris: What’s worse, as I was leaving, I herd 3 then saying, “Don’t trust that guy. He looks broke.” When I heard that, I almost hit the roof.

Susan: Don’t let it get to you. Better ignore them.

Chris: I agree. I did manage to keep my cool.

Susan: Well, the best thing you can do is to file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency 4.

Chris: sounds like a good idea.
