A train might take you there, but it’s so much easier to see the sights by driving around in a car. Maybe it’s time to rent a car. It’s always a good idea to check many car-rental companies to find the best price. You can search on the Internet or call the company’s 800 number. What kind of car do you want? You’ll need to decide on a type: economy, midsize, or luxury. You can choose the car that fits your needs. Be prepared to pay more for larger cars. You’ll also need to buy insurance, just in case a bear in the country decides that your compact car is lunch! Here, they talk about three different types of cars: Economy (here it means cheap and maybe low quality or small) Midsize (a medium sized car, usually with four doors) Luxury ( a more expensive car, that is special for some reason. Maybe it means you get more benefits if you rent this car) LIA: Hello. I’d like to rent a car for the weekend. FRIENDLYRENT-A-CAR: Do you have your driver’s license with you? LIA: Yes, I do. FRIENDLY RENT-A-CAR: If you want an economy car, we have a nice compactoutside. LIA: Is it a four-door? FRIENDLY RENT-A-CAR: No, it isn’t. It’s a two-door, but it has a hatchback. And it has a sunroof! LIA: Do you have anything bigger and faster? FRIENDLY RENT-A-CAR: Well, we have a midsized convertible, but the compact is more economical. LIA: How about a big van? I have a large family. FRIENDLY RENT-A-CAR: Sure, we have a van. It’s very roomy. It’s the biggest and most expensive of the three. LIA: Well, I’d like the convertible for myself, but I guess I’ll take the van. Maybe next time... four-door - a car with four doors two-door - a car with two doors hatchback 掀开式车门 ( a type of door on the back of a car) 掀背式汽车 (a car that has a hatchback door) Convertible 折篷汽车 Sunroof [汽车的] 天窗 Economical - this means cheaper 经济的 An economical car - 节油型汽车
