  • Speak.

  • Thank you for the lift to work today, Fei Fei.

  • It's a pleasure, Finn.

  • But my car has got a few problems.

  • Oh.

  • Sometimes it makes funny noises.

  • And I even had to call mechanic a few times.

  • Yeah, it looks like quite an old car.

  • Yes, it is.

  • I'm saving money to buy new one.

  • Well, maybe, Fei Fei, you should give up eating in expensive restaurants every week and all those expensive holidays.

  • But I love my holidays.

  • And the good food, the designer clothes.

  • Yes, but if you want to save money, you have to go the extra mile.

  • The extra mile?

  • I don't think this old car would survive even one more mile.

  • I don't mean go the extra mile in the car.

  • I mean go the extra mile when saving money.

  • How do you mean in English?
