Ian: So, Chan. Are you going home for New Year's?
Chan: Are you joking? Taipei's pretty far from here!
Ian: That's no problem. There're a lot of flights to Taipei from this city.
Chan: Yeah, but you're forgetting one important thing.
Ian: What's that?
Chan: The airfare! I'm a student, remember?
Ian: So, how much is it to Taipei?
Chan: Almost a thousand dollars! That's too much money for me!

Leyland: Excuse me, driver. Does this bus go to Central Avenue?
Bus Driver: Yes, it's the second stop.
Leyland: So it's not very far?
Bus Driver: Nah! It's only about half a mile.
Leyland: Really! Well, it's a nice day today, and I'm not in a hurry.
And if it's that close... hmm . . .
Bus Driver: C'mon, buddy! Are you getting on the bus or not?
Leyland: Sorry, driver. I'll just walk to Central Avenue.
Thank you so much.
