What is the price?<br />Well, that depends on the model and anything else you want to have with it.<br />I see.<br />How about this one?

Hello! I'm Geoff Anderson from Coventry, England, and in today's program, I'd like<br />to share with you a special kind of English culture – the football. A lot of people<br />in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big<br />match, all the flags for local football teams, such as Liverpool and Newcastle, are hung<br />outside every window, or even spread proudly on t-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere<br />of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark, packed pubs, staring at television<br />screens. Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout<br />and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal, or with joy when there is a moment<br />of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement.<br />As far as victories are concerned, England had its big moment in 1966 in Wembley Stadium.<br />The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever<br />England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub – a symbol<br />of hope – the English flag. While football has never been something I am particularly<br />interested in, for years I've had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You<br />cannot say you don't like or do not follow football in England. As often this would lead<br />to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their<br />team.
