\nSara: \u00a1Eso no es nada! \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 necesitas un tel\u00e9fono nuevo ya?
\nRa\u00fal: La tecnolog\u00eda cambia r\u00e1pidamente. Y sabes cu\u00e1nto amo la tecnolog\u00eda y los gadgets.
\nSara: Demasiado.
\nRa\u00fal: Necesito un tel\u00e9fono m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido y una c\u00e1mara mejor.
\nSara: La c\u00e1mara de tu tel\u00e9fono es incre\u00edble. No necesita tomar mejores fotos de las que ya hace.
\nRa\u00fal: Ahora estoy tomando m\u00e1s fotos para el trabajo.
\nSara: De acuerdo. S\u00e9 que estoy perdiendo el tiempo tratando de persuadirte. \u00bfQu\u00e9 tel\u00e9fono prefieres?
\nRa\u00fal: Este\u2026 mira.
\nSara: \u00bfEse es el precio?
\nRa\u00fal: Ummm. S\u00ed.
\nSara: Prefiero este. Es m\u00e1s barato.
\nRa\u00fal: Ese tel\u00e9fono tiene una c\u00e1mara peor que mi tel\u00e9fono actual.
\nSara: \u00a1Entonces, qu\u00e9date con tu tel\u00e9fono actual!

\nSara: \u00bfEn serio necesitas un tel\u00e9fono tan caro?
\nRa\u00fal: Prefiero gastar mi dinero en tecnolog\u00eda. No gasto mi dinero en nada m\u00e1s.
\nSara: Nuestro dinero.
\nRa\u00fal: T\u00fa prefieres gastar dinero en ropa. Yo prefiero gastar dinero en gadgets.
\nSara: La ropa es una necesidad.
\nRa\u00fal: No es necesario tener tanta ropa.<\/p>\n

\nSara: Are you sure? Your phone is still very new.
\nRa\u00fal: It\u2019ss more than a year old.
\nSara: That\u2019s nothing! Why do you need a new phone now?
\nRa\u00fal: Technology changes rapidly. And you know how much I love technology and gadgets.
\nSara: Too much.
\nRa\u00fal: I need a faster phone and a better camera.
\nSara: The camera on your phone is amazing. You don\u2019t need to take better photos than you already do.
\nRa\u00fal: Now I\u2019m taking more photos for work.
\nSara: Okay. I know I\u2019m wasting my time trying to persuade you. What phone do you prefer?
\nRa\u00fal: This one\u2026 look.
\nSara: Is that the price?
\nRa\u00fal: Ummm. Yes.
\nSara: I prefer this one. It\u2019s cheaper.
\nRaul. That phone has a worse camera than my current phone.
\nSara: So, keep your current phone!
\nRa\u00fal: And that one?
\nSara: Do you really need such an expensive phone?
\nRa\u00fal: I prefer to spend my money on technology. I don\u2019t spend my money on anything else.
\nSara: Our money.
\nRa\u00fal: You prefer to spend money on clothes. I prefer to spend money on gadgets.
\nSara: Clothes are a must.
\nRa\u00fal: It is not necessary to have so many clothes.<\/p>\n
