#Person1#: Father sent me to the school to pick you up this afternoon. But you were not there. What were you guys doing, William? #Person2#: Our music club held an activity in the shopping center then. #Person1#: What activity? You didn't tell us anything about it. #Person2#: So sorry. I should have told mom and dad and you last night. But I was afraid I would be too nervous to play well if they went there. Mrs. Smith took us there. She has been preparing us for this free performance for a month. #Person1#: It's OK? What did you do then? #Person2#: In the beginning, we all walked in the shopping center like we were shopping there. A few minutes later, one of our members began to play the violin in the center on the first floor. With that music, we all quickly gathered there one by one and joined to play. #Person1#: You mean you held the performance among passers-by? #Person2#: Yes, we played 4 pieces of music in total. So many people stood around us and recorded it with their cameras and cell phones. #Person1#: You did well. Your performance is very meaningful.

#Person1#: French is so hard, do you know what's the most difficult part for me? #Person2#: The grammar? #Person1#: Yes, but only one particular area. I can't remember if a word is male or female. #Person2#: You have to just remember those. #Person1#: But there are so many and I can't find a pattern. For instance, the moon is female and the sun is male. I know those are common in different languages, but a chair is female and hair is male. I think that hair would be considered female. I just don't get it. #Person2#: It can be very confusing, don't let it get you down, Andy. You're doing well this term. One bad quiz score will hardly affect your grade. Your reading is excellent and so is your writing, you'll get used to this part of the language soon enough.

You know, I'm a new student here. #Person2#: All you need is your student identification card to check out books. #Person1#: Yes. Here's my identification. #Person2#: That's all you need. #Person1#: Thank you very much. By the way, how many books am I allowed to check out? #Person2#: You can check out two books at a time. But you can't check out newspapers, magazines and periodicals, they have to be read within library. #Person1#: How long can I keep the books? #Person2#: For two weeks. After that you must renew the book if you wish to keep them longer. #Person1#: I want a book on physics. Could you show me where I can find it? #Person2#: Yes, over there to your left.

#Person1#: You should have seen the T. V. show that was on last night, the topic it covered was really interesting, animal rights. #Person2#: Do you really believe in that? If they are going to focus on something, they should do it on civil rights. #Person1#: Yes, but we can't deny that animals are vulnerable, defenseless, and are completely at the mercy of human beings. #Person2#: I understand your point, but we continue to have transgressions against human rights. If so much attention weren't devoted to the topic of animals, we would then concentrate more on saving a human being instead of protecting a koala. #Person1#: You can't compare apples and oranges. I believe that both topics are important and that we can't ignore them, the mistreatment of animals can cause a great environmental imbalance. I believe that governments should prohibit activities like poaching. #Person2#: Well, you are right on that point. This is the reason that I don't buy leather and I try to buy synthetic products. #Person1#: As long as you don't treat it better than your wife, it's fine.

#Person1#: Robert, I know you have special feelings about the media. #Person2#: I do. I've never had a television in my life. I grew up before television was really common and I just don't have time for it. I think you have to look at the trade-off for whatever you do. #Person1#: What do you mean by trade-off? #Person2#: What it cause not only money but in terms of whether it does good to your life. I have no real machines in my apartment. Well, I do have an FM radio. #Person1#: Yeah, what do you listen to? #Person2#: Oh, weather reports, good music. And I have a telephone now, but I lived for 8 years without one. #Person1#: Eight years without a telephone? #Person2#: Well, I discovered there were telephones on every street corner and I really didn't need one for anything. #Person1#: Do you have a computer? #Person2#: I do not own a computer. Because when I go on the Internet, I'm always disappointed. You see, I think more than technology destroys all the beauty and meaning in life. That's not the way I want to live my life. #Person1#: Aren't there any good things that the modern media bring us? #Person2#: Well, the only modern form of media I really like is the jet plane. I mean I know it's not the media. But I really considered it to be a form of communication. It is allowed me to travel all over the world. I get great enjoyment out of traveling. I link up with people from foreign countries. I meet them. I talked to them. And so in that way, the jet plane has improved international communication, much more than fax or email will ever do. #Person1#: What an interesting idea! Thank you, Robert.

So, what are we cooking? #Person1#: ok, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagne, a salad, and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard? #Person2#: sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away, too. #Person1#: that's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius? #Person2#: that's a bit high for lasagne. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there. #Person1#: fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet. #Person2#: you know, I could do this myself. Why don't you go get the screwdriver and the pliers and go fix the vacuum cleaner so it works better? #Person1#: I don't think it's broken. #Person2#: well, if it's not broken, then you need to learn how to vacuum better, because it doesn't look like you've vacuumed for ages! #Person1#: fine.

#Person1#: The volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens certainly caused a lot of damage, didn't it? #Person2#: It did, but not as much as experts have predicted. It seems to have had a beneficial effect as well. #Person1#: Really? But were crop losses great? #Person2#: Yes, However, since the weather following the eruption was unexpectedly good, some crop yields remained steady or even increased beyond normal expectancy levels. #Person1#: I'm glad to hear that. But what was the beneficial effect you mentioned? #Person2#: A mass destruction of various insect populations. #Person1#: How could the ash kill insects without effecting people too? #Person2#: It's highly abrasive and quickly wears away the outer wax layer, protecting insects bodies. Removal of that layer causes the insects to lose body moisture by evaporation, the result is usually lethal. #Person1#: How about that? Sounds like an effective yet natural insecticide.

#Person1#: Well, we've settled everything in connection with this transaction except the question of the mode of payment. #Person2#: Because this order is a comparatively big one, we would like to pay by time L / C, say, 60 days L / C. #Person1#: Payment by sight L / C is quite usual in international trade, and as a rule, we only accept payment by sight L / C. #Person2#: But we have only moderate mean at hand. If you can do us a special favor this time and allow us to delay payment, we'd really appreciate it. #Person1#: Accepting time L / C is unusual and I've never done it before, but we could consider your request. I'll phone our company to see what they say. #Person2#: Thank you for your consideration. When will you let me know your answer? #Person1#: This afternoon.
#Person1# tells #Person2# they only accept payment by sight L/C. #Person2# asks #Person1# to allow them to delay payment and #Person1# will consider it.

#Person1#: Your 3. 5 percent share is going to be worth at least a million. #Person2#: I need to be motivated, Vince. Multi - motivated. As in multi-million. #Person1#: What if I said no? #Person2#: Ever hear of WebTracker? #Person1#: You wouldn't! If you leave, you'll make nothing. #Person2#: I might make nothing even if I stay. For that kind of risk, I want to get rich. #Person1#: OK. If you sign the Stars. com account before WebTracker does, we'll talk next week.

#Person1#: Good afternoon! Did you call for a plumber? #Person2#: Yes, yes I did. Please come in! I ' m so glad you came! This old house is falling apart! Come on into the bathroom. See, here, there ' s water leaking everywhere! #Person1#: I see. Let me have a look. It seems that your toilet is clogged, and that ' s why it won ' t flush. Let me just get my plunger. No, that ' s not working either. I suspect that there ' s some sort of foreign object in the pipes that ' s causing a blockage. That ' s what ' s making your toilet overflow. #Person2#: Oh, that must be because of my four-year-old daughter. She is always flushing things down the toilet. You know how kids are. #Person1#: Yeah, I have a little one myself. Anyway, these water pipes are really rusty, so they also should be changed. Thatcould be causing water to not drain completely, that might lead to more problems in the future. I would also suggest fixing this faucet that isn ' t shutting off properly. I could have it all finished by today if it ' s urgent. #Person2#: That would be great! Is it expensive? #Person1#: Let ' s see... I would say about eight hundred dollars.
#Person2#'s toilet is clogged so #Person2# calls #Person1# to fix it. #Person1# checks it and suspects it's due to some foreign object in the pipes flushed down by #Person2#'s daughter. #Person1# also suggests changing the rusty pipes.
