Listen to the conversation.

Nick: Ann, could you help me?

Ann: With pleasure. And what seems to be the trouble?

Nick: I can’t turn your CD player on. It looks like computer. I’ve never seen such model.

Ann: Oh, it’s Japanese. It looks a little bit sophisticated, but, as a matter of fact, very easy to use.

Nick: How does it work?

Ann: Well, first thing you have to do is to plug it in. Push the ‘on’ button. You see the green lamp lights.

Nick: And how can I put the disk in?

Ann: You should press ‘eject’ button. You see how the cover opens. Then put the disk here and close the cover. Is that clear?

Nick: Aha… Yes, thank you.

Ann: Why don’t you try it yourself now?... That’s right. Now you see the small display shines. You can press cursor buttons like those on computer’s keyboard to select an item in the menu. Then press ‘yes’ button to exit the menu. … Are you with me?

Nick: Yes. That’s great!
