Getting a Flat Tire
Jaloliddin: What is that thumping 1 noise?
Minisa: I don?t hear anything.
Jaloliddin: I think you have a flat tire.
Minisa: The left rear tire has a slow leak, but I just inflated 2 it the last time I was at the gas station, so I?m sure it?s fine.
Jaloliddin: No, really, I think you need to pull off to the side of the road.
Minisa: We?re on a busy freeway, but if you insist.
Jaloliddin: Wow, your tire is definitely flat. See how the tire is completely worn out, with hardly any tread left?
Minisa: Yeah, well, I?ve been meaning to get a new one. Now what?
Jaloliddin: We need to change it. Let?s see if you have a jack 3 and a spare tire.
Minisa: I think they?re in the trunk, but I don?t think I could do it myself.
Jaloliddin: [sigh] Right. I?ll change the tire. Do you have a wrench 4 so I can get the lug 5 nuts off?
Minisa: I have some basic tools in the trunk, too, I think.
Jaloliddin: Put your hazard lights on and I?ll get to work. At least your rim 6 doesn?t look bent 7.
Minisa: I?m glad to hear that. What should I do?
Jaloliddin: Bone up on basic car maintenance?
