Repairing an Appliance 

Virginia: Hand me that screwdriver1, will you? 

Alonso: Don’t tell me you’re trying to fix that dryer2 yourself. We need to call in an authorized3 repairman or repairwoman. 

Virginia: Do you have any idea what they’ll charge? 

Alonso: All right, then I’ll call a handyman and see if he knows anything about fixing dryers4

Virginia: If he doesn’t, he might make matters worse. I think it’s just a matter of clearing a clog5 or replacing a worn component6

Alonso: Yes, but which one? We should just upgrade to a newer model. 

Virginia: This dryer does not need to be replaced. It’s not that old. 

Alonso: But it’s been on the fritz on and off for a year. 

Virginia: I don’t want to throw out a perfectly7 good appliance just because of a minor8 problem. 

Alonso: Well, this “minor problem” is the reason I had to walk to work in damp clothes this morning. 

Virginia: That wasn’t so bad, was it? 

Alonso: In the middle of winter?! You try walking with icicles in the most uncomfortable places! 

Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
