(woman) Hey, Mark, how’s it going?
(man) Hmm, not too good!
(woman) What’s wrong?

托福TPO13口语task5范文：
The man’s problem is that he needs to drive everyone to the museum but the van he was going to used broke down. There are two possible solutions, the first is to rent a van, the second is to postpone the trip until the van gets repaired. I think the second solution is better. First of all, in doing so, he won’t take the risk of having to pay for most of the bill, he mentioned that only four group members have gotten back to him and agreed to contribute to the cost. Second, going to the museum is not a seasonal thing, the displays are all the same no matter when they go, so I think it’s not a big deal if they waited for a few days.
