pIf you’ve got it, you might as well let everyone see it. That’s the philosophy of the people in this dialogue, but you can decide whether you agree or not./p pSlow dialogue: 1:08 br /Explanations: 2:51 br /Fast dialogue: 15:58/p pMonica: Wow, check you out! When did you buy a new car?/p pKevin: This isn’t just any new car. It’s a Ferrari./p pMonica: I can see that. It must have set you back a few. /p pKevin: Yeah, but it was worth it. You should see the looks I get riding around in this baby. My brother is green with envy./p pMonica: Then you’ve been showing it off around town./p pKevin: No, I’ve just been showing it off to a few friends and family members. There’s no sense owning a fine machine like this and not bragging a little, right?/p pMonica: Especially since your brother has been gloating about his new boat, you mean./p pKevin: There is that. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I think a new Ferrari trumps a measly new boat, don’t you?/p pMonica: Do you and your brother always whip it out like this?/p pKevin: Like what? I’m just sharing my new toy with my brother. I’m sure he’s just as happy for me as I was for him when he bought his new boat./p pMonica: Truer words were never spoken./p pScript by Dr. Lucy Tse/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnglishAsASecondLanguagePodcast/~4/TDeWuKOV5mU" height="1" width="1"/
