4. Order the lines to make a meaningful dialog.

___ Ben: I don’t know if I can afford it, but I wish I could. Because a gramophone
reminds me of my childhood. One of my neighbors had one in her house, so I
used to visit her and used to listen to a scratchy recording of a Bach sonata and
sometimes Faure’s Requiem.
___ Lucy: Oh, I’m so glad that you like it. I don’t know if anybody nowadays would
recognize a gramophone when they saw one. It belonged to my grandfather,
actually. When he passed away, I got it. It’s my treasured possession.
___ Ben: I’d love to.
___ Lucy: You’re so cute. Why don’t you visit some antique shops and buy yourself
one?
___ Ben: Lucky you. I wish I had a grandfather who loved gramophones!
___ Lucy: I see. You treasure the gramophone because of the memories associated
with it. I have Chopin’s Nocturne 9. Would you like to listen to it now?

___ Ben: What a gorgeous gramophone! I wish I had one in my house.
