Oral Mediation (2) for next Wednesday

Choose two tasks:

Task 1. Your Brazilian friend Joâo shows you an invoice from Jonathan Taller Mecánico, the garage you recommended. He wanted to have his car front tyres placed instead of the rear ones and buy a new pair for the front ones. He also wanted to have the oil changed. He was told at the garage it was going to be cheap and that he would have a discount. Joâo does not understand well  why the invoice is so expensive.

You have 3 mins. to read the invoice and another 3 mins. to try and explain to him that it is alright and that there must have been some misunderstanding or lack of information.

He is about to complete his studies and wants to do a Master's Degree in Education at Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
