LESSON 6. MONEY (CONTINUED)
♦ A KNOCKDOWN PRICE
ОглавлениеHi Denise,
I’ve got great news. At last I’ve got my first pay and started setting aside some money for my holidays! I hope I’ll save up1 enough to visit you next year. I managed to flog2 all my old smartphones and tablet PCs to my roommates. My parents have already said «good-bye’ to that money. They didn’t think I’d get it back3 one day. So they allowed me to use it the way I wished. Now I can start searching for a knockdown price for air tickets on the Internet. It won’t cost me a fortune4, I hope.
Looking forward so much to seeing you soon,
Patric
