　　M：Well, it depends．If you come for a private instructor like me, it’s probably going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school．The thing is, people have usually heard of the big school and trust them．Well, I get customers through personal connections．

　　W：Does that mean you have to try harder to get customers??

　　M：Not now, when I started I have to．But at the moment I am fully booked and my prices are quite competitive．

　　W：Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners．What do you think?

　　M：Well, it can be．But I try to get them to sit quietly in the drive’s seat for a few moments．With their eyes closed, you will be surprised how it changed some people．They fell much more ready for driving if they had a few quiet moments．

　　W：Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others．
