Hope:

How are you doing today, Joey?

Joey:

Terrific! What about you, Hope?

Hope:

Pretty good.

Joey:

對了, Hope, Do you want to see my new smartphone?

Hope:

Your new smartphone? Wow! It’s pretty! This pink color just matches your skin tone.

Joey:

My skin tone? You mean my skin color?

Hope:

Yes, your skin tone. Your skin color.

Joey:

I see. Thanks for saying so. Pink is the latest color of the brand this year. And I like pink!

Hope:

When did you get it?

Joey:

Yesterday. I went to a 電信行after work yesterday.

Hope:

Oh, that’s a telecom store.

Joey:

Yes, a telecom store. I went to the telecom store after work yesterday because I was informed that 我手機合約即將到期。

Hope:

So, your phone plan is about to expire.

Joey:

Yes, my phone plan is about to expire, and I need to renew it. So, after talking with the clerk there,

I decided to get a new phone. And this is the latest model of the brand.

Hope:

So, do you mind if I ask you how much it is?

Joey:

No. The original price is 36,000 NT dollars. And with the phone plan, I only pay 12000 NT dollars.

Hope:

I see. It’s much cheaper than an iPhone. So, you switched to an Android phone?

Joey:

Yes. I think it’s time for a change. What do you think of it?

Hope:

Well, perhaps, you are right. The cost of an iPhone keeps going up every year.

Compare to it, an Android phone seems more steady in price.

Joey:

Yes. The latest iPhone is over 40000 NT dollars.

Hope:

Wow, that’s a lot of money.

Joey:

That’s why I chose to buy this model of phone.

Hope:

So, how much is your monthly payment now?

Joey:

My monthly payment? 我的月租費?

Hope:

Yes. How much should you pay each month?

Joey:

If I were right, I should pay 600 NT dollars per month. And it’s 網路吃到飽方案。

Hope:

It is an unlimited data.

Joey:

An unlimited data. 我以為是 all-you-can-eat?!

Hope:

No, All-you-can-eat is for eating at restaurants.

Joey:

I see. So, I should pay 600 NT dollars per months for an unlimited data.

Hope:

That’s a good deal. How long is your phone plan, by the way?

Joey:

It goes with an unlimited data for 36 months. I think it’s a good deal, too.

Hope:

So, about your new smartphone, what are the most important features for you?

Joey:

Well, I like taking photos and shooting films, so I need a phone with a good camera and good 記憶體來存照片。

Hope:

Good memory.

Joey:

Memory? That easy! Okay! I need a phone with a good camera and good memory to keep those photos and films.

Hope:

So, how big is the memory of your smart phone?

Joey:

The memory of the smart phone is 512 GB.

Hope:

I see. It is 512 gigabytes.

Joey:

Yes, it 512 gigabytes.

Hope:

Say, how big is your smartphone size?

Joey:

It’s 5.5 inches. It’s big enough for me to watch videos.

Hope:

That’s good. So, have you got the screen protector yet?

Joey:

Screen protector? 螢幕保護貼嗎?

Hope:

Yes, a screen protector to go with a good quality phone case.

Joey:

Not yet. I plan to get them after work today.

Hope:

Hey, Joey. I can introduce you to a shop offering a reasonable price.

Joey:

Sure! That’ll be great!
