换钱情景英语口语对话

  derek: you won't believe what just happened.

  kelly: what?

  derek: i went down to change some money, right?

  kelly: yes. we need some. how much did you change?

  derek: i wanted to change around 5000 dollars. and you know the exchange rate.

  kelly: yes, it's about 35 pesos for every taiwan dollar, right?

  derek: not today.

  kelly: what do you mean?

  derek: i went into the bank with my money, and i looked at the exchange board.

  at first i couldn't believe it. i thought i was reading the board wrong or something.

  kelly: why?

  derek: because the board said 60 pesos for every taiwan dollar.

  kelly: sixty? that's too much. how can that be?

  derek: i thought it was wrong too. it didn't make sense.

  kelly: just two days ago it was 35. how can it be 60?

  derek: so, i went up to the teller and started to exchange the money. and it's true.

  they really gave me sixty pesos for the dollar.

  kelly: that's amazing! really? how could it change so much in two days?

  derek: i tried to ask the bank teller why it changed,

  but she didn't speak english well enough.

  so i decided to go to the magazine shop. the one around the corner.

  and i bought an american newspaper.

  kelly: what happened?

  derek: it seems that yesterday the mexican government declared

  it wouldn't pay back the loans it got from the world bank.

  the government declared a default on the loans.

  kelly: that's serious.

  derek: i know. the economy here is having serious problems.

  but because the government declared a default, the currency value went way down.

  kelly: so now mexican pesos are worth about half as much.

  derek: yes, it's an amazing drop.

  kelly: wow. i feel sorry for the mexicans. but it's good for us.

  derek: yes, it's very good. we suddenly have twice as much money to spend here.

  our hotel is now half as expensive as when we got here! isn't that strange?

  kelly: yes, and you know what?

  derek: what?

  kelly: i don't really like this hotel that much.

  so tonight, now that we are so rich,

  tonight why don't we stay in the most expensive hotel in town?

  derek: why not? we should do it. because now we can afford it.
