<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Excuse me.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes? How can I help you?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Are these drinks on sale this weekend?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can I buy more than one case?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes. The limit is four per family.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Okay, I'll take four, please. You saved me a lot.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I know. This is a really good bargain.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Thanks.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant No problem.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Hey, Mark, long time no see.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Julie! It's good to see you again. How have you been?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Great. I just got back from a week's vacation in Thailand.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really? How was it?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Fantastic! I didn't want to come back.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I hear the beaches in Thailand are beautiful.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user They are. And not only that the people are friendly, but also the food is delicious, not to mention cheap.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I do like Thai food. Did you see much of Bangkok?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Not much. I've go enough city life in Beijing.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I know what you mean. I could use a vacation myself.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Hey, wouldn't it be great if we could go to Thailand together sometime?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Yeah, it sure would.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user I am so excited!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Excited about what?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I just voted.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Is this the first time you'Ve voted?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes, I just had my 18th birthday this year.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant That's lucky.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Why is that?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You turned 18 in an election year.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I didn't think about it like that.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No, but that makes me even more excited.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant You're a part of history.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Let's start out to discuss the question of payment terms.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I suppose you know very well that we require irrevocable letters of credit payable against presentation of shipping documents.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I fully understand your position. An irrevocable letter of credit ensures that the seller gets paid in time. But, on the other hand it would add to the buying costs. We've been, after all, trading partners for 3 years and you know us well. Can't you give us D / A or D / P?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'm afraid it has been our practice so far to insist on payment by L / C.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user But on our part, our government is reluctant to approve of L / C payment for our imports. And there is the licensing problem.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant I understand that. Still, I'm not in a position to help you. Maybe we could do something later when we have had more and larger deals together.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Can I get some medicine to help me?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant For your high blood pressure, we have several choices of medications.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What types of drugs can I try?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps you with water retention.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What about side effects from that medication?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Most people have no side effects. You will have to make sure that you drink plenty of liquids with this medication.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Do I only need to take that one drug?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I am going to add a second drug for now, Lisinopril, which is an ACE inhibitor.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What can I expect when I take that medication?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant You will feel much better except for the fact that you might have a little cough.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Look at the catalogue, John. I think I want to get this red blouse<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Don't you have one like this in blue?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yah, but it doesn't have a red one.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Do you need every color in the rainbow?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Ze ze ze... Women!<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Are you watching another news report about the war?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes. The two sides declared a short ceasefire but it broke down earlier today. Several military target were destroyed by bombing. Many civilians were among the dead and wounded.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user How did this war start?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Bout side claim a small area of territory. Both sides tried to build border fences and began attacking each other.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Politicians from both sides sound increasingly belligerent. Neither side wants to compromise.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Relief agencies report that many civilians are in desperate need of food and shelter. Several European countries have agreed to send aid, but are afraid that their planes will be shot down.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What do you think will happen?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Both countries are very poor. Soon they will run out of money to finance the war. Then, perhaps, they will negotiate.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Great. The bed is exactly what I have been looking for!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You have good taste. It's made of red wood.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Oh, I like red wood. How much do you charge for it?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant 300 dollars.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That's sheer robbery!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Believe me, it's worth the price.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user It's more than I can afford. Can I make an offer?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant How much are you willing to pay?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Shall we make it 250 dollars?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant No. That price would hardly cover the cost.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What about 260 dollars?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant 275 dollars is the lowest price I can offer.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Mr. Wilson. We very regret the mistakes in goods. I am very sorry and we are responsible for the mistake.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant We have no choice but to hold you responsible for the loss we sustained.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user The first problem is supposed to be solved after the investigation. About the second problem, I admit it's our fault, so we will exchange all merchandise that falls short of our sample.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Well. I hope there won't be such things.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user What are you doing to your house?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant We're redecorating our living room.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What are you going to do to it?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant First, we're going to change the curtains, then we're going to paint the walls.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What colour are you going to paint them?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Pale yellow.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What else are you going to do?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant We're going to put in some new furniture.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Can you give me a hand with my luggage?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Of course.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Well, this apartment is really a must-see. Will you come with me to look at it this weekend?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure. And if you rent it, maybe I can help you find a roommate too.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Great! Do you know someone else who is also looking for an apartment?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Yes, my friend Steve. I'll introduce you.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Can you lend me some money?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I am sorry. I've already gone through my paycheck for the week.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You'Ve gone through all your money so quickly? I thought you were well-off.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Not me. You know money always burns a hole in my pocket.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user You'v been work here for nearly a month, how do you feel about the job?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Not bad. Thank you for your help. I am always busy with this job, I feel a bit tired.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I had the same feeling when I first came to work here. but after a period of time, I feel better, I am sure you'll get used to this busy job.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I also feel that work efficiency here is very high. and you have strong working ability and professional skill, it seems that you know all, that's really wonderful!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You know the phrase the survival of the fittest. We have no choices.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant That's right, I have to work.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Do you know a bus that goes to the Gold Line station?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Do you live in Pasadena?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user My house is up in Altadena.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You could always take the 264.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user It'll really take me to the station?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It goes all the way there.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Do you know what street it goes on?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Catch it on Altadena Drive.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I would've never known.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Now you know.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I appreciate you telling me.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user Honey, we are all out of wine and cheese. Do you mind running to the deli and picking up a few things?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Can't it wait? I'm watching the game right now!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Your friends and family are coming over tonight and we still need to get a lot of things.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Fine! What do you need?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user OK, pick up some cured meats to go with the wine. Maybe a pound of polish sausages, ham, liverwurst, salami and any other cold cuts that are on sale.

If they have bean dip get that as well. Last but not least, get some pickles.<|im_end|>

<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Excuse me.Have you got any books on genetic engineering? I've looked for them everywhere, but I can't find any.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'm not sure if we've got any now.Books of that kind are on this shelf.Well, I'm afraid we've sold out.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What a pity! I should have come earlier.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Come some time next week if you like. I think we'll have got some by them.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user This is the schedule for the project. Any comments or questions?<|im_end|>

<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Howdy! Nice car! What seems to be the problem?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I don't know! This stupid old car started spewing white smoke and it just died on me. Luckily, I managed to start it up and drive it here. What do you think it is?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Not sure yet.How about you pop the hood and we can take a look. Mmmm, it doesn't look good.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What do you mean? My daddy gave me this car for my birthday last month. It's brand new!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well missy, the white smoke that you saw is steam from the radiator. You overheated your engine so now the pistons are busted and so is your transmission. You should have called us and we could have towed you over here when your car died.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Ugh... So how long is this going to take? An hour?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'm afraid a bit more than that. We need to order the spare parts, take apart your electrical system, fuel pump and engine and then put it back together again. You are going to have to leave it here for at least two weeks.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant What! How am I supposed to get to school or go shopping? This is not happening!<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>

I'll give you another room immediately, sir, and a refund for tonight.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Thank you. I'm glad that you don't believe that your guests are liars.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>assistant It's a bit expensive. Can you tell me the schedule?<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Well, do you have any experience in guiding?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, but I only have few experiences. I guided a few groups of foreign tourists from America last winter vacation. I showed them around some places of interest.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What places of interest did you show them?<|im_end|>

The winter is rather long, but the cold is generally not severe. The temperature seldom gets as low as ten below zero Centigrade.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What is the temperature today, do you know?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user About freezing point, I think.But the morning's forecast said that we are going to have a very cold spell in the next few days - and the temperature will probably drop to 10 or 15 degrees below zero.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Oh, I'm very lucky that my wife let me take a heavy overcoat.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user It is considerate of your wife.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, she is.

My sister used to always send a postcard to herself whenever she went anywhere. I want to do that, too.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant we have plenty of postcards to choose from here. The same designs can be found on these posters.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user posters are difficult to travel with. I think I'll just buy the postcards.

You should DIY ( do it yourself ) sometime.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Fat chance, I'm too scared of bungee jumping.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No, really, I think you'd like it.

<|im_start|>user How often are stockholders meetings held?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Stockholders meetings are held biannually. Usually the meetings are scheduled for spring and fall. In between the meetings, each stockholder receives biannual reports. Financial statements are made once a year.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What percentage of the stockholders actually attend the meetings? I'm guessing not a large percentage...<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You're right, it's a low percentage. Also, in order to attend meetings, you have to hold a certain amount of shares. It's quite a large number, so most of the stockers are excluded from proceedings.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user So, how much say do the stockholders really have?<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user Mr. Jones, shall we now discuss the packaging?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Very well. You know, we have definite ways of packaging garments. As to blouses, we use a polythene wrapper for each article, all ready for window display.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Good. A wrapping that catches the eye will certainly help push the sales. With competition from similar garments producers, the merchandise must not only be good value but also look attractive.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Right you are. We'll see to it that the blouses appeal to the eye as well as to the purse.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What about the outer packing?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant We'll pack them 10 dozens to one carton, gross weight around 25 kilos a carton.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Cartons?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, corrugated cardboard boxes.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Could you use wooden cases instead?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Why use wooden cases?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for such a heavy load.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant The cartons are comparatively light, and therefore easy to handle. They won't be stowed away with the heavy cargo. The stevedores will see to that. Besides, we'll reinforce the cartons with straps. Silk blouses are not fragile goods. They can stand a lot of jolting.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Maybe you are right, but the goods are to be transhipped at Hamburg or London. If the boxes are moved about on an open wharf, the dampness or rain may get into them. This would make the blouses spotted or ruined.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant No need to worry about that. The cartons lined with plastic sheets are waterproof, and as the boxes are made of cardboard, they will be handled with care.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, I don't want to take any chances. Besides, cartons are easy to cut open, and this increases the risk of pilferage.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Tampering with cartons is easily detected. I should say that this rather discourages pilferage.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Maybe so, but I'm afraid that in case of damage or pilferage, the insurance company will refuse compensation on the ground of improper packing, or packing unsuitable for sea voyage.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant But cartons are quite seaworthy. They are extensively used in our shipments to continental ports. There are never any complaints from our clients, and our insurance company has also approved such packing for W. P. A. and T. P. N. D.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user If you could guarantee compensation in case the insurance com - any refuses to honor a claim for faulty packing, we would be quite willing to accept cartons.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'm sorry, but we can't take on any responsibility that is beyond our functions and powers. We'll make sure that the packing is seaworthy, but we can't commit ourselves to being responsible for every kind of mishap.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I can understand your position. Perhaps I'm asking too much.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant We'll use wooden cases if you insist, but the charge for packing will be considerably higher, and it also slows delivery.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, I'll call you immediately for instructions on the matter.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Please do. I'll be waiting for your reply.<|im_end|>

As you can see, ladies and gentleman, we are here in beautiful Pebble Beach where the top golfers in the world are trying to win the grand prize of one million dollars!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Whoa, that's a lot of cash! Let's go to the course and see how Tiger Woods is doing.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant All right, we are here at the eighth hole. It's a par four, and has some very difficult hazards which many golfers find difficult to avoid. Although, I did see Jack Nicklaus hit a hole in one on this very same hole!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Tiger Woods is about to tee off, and let's see if he has the same luck as Jack. Tiger is asking his caddie for his driver and, he seems to be very nervous.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Oh no! Not a good swing at all! It's definitely not his day today. On the seventh hole he got a bogey and before that he barely made par. He will definitely not get a birdie on this shot.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user It seems that his ball has flown somewhere deep in the trees. He is having a hard time finding it and even his caddie has climbed a tree to try and spot it.<|im_end|>

That's why we made a special trip to see you.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user OK, let me hear it. I'd be glad to help if I can.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Good. I want to discuss with you the mode of payment for the construction of the power plant under negotiation.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, I trust that your presence will hasten the settlement of payment terms.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I would like to explain to you our financial position. The manufacture of machinery and its accessories and parts will consume both time and money. It takes five years to manufacture the machinery and we will have to advance the cost for the main machines to be produced, and besides this there are large sums to be paid to our subcontractors for the manufacture of the accessories and parts.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user But for an enterprise of your size, an order from us will certainly not embarrass you financially.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, in fact, it is beyond our financial capability.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user In what way can we solve the problem?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Have you considered the possibility of a buyer's credit?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes. But the sum is large, it must be provided by a group of banks.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant So, we propose your company apply to Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for a long-term loan. Six months before each shipment, you through Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation open, in our favour, an irrevocable, dividable L / C which is to remain valid for two months.<|im_end|>

I always get airsick and can never relax until after I've landed.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant That's fine. I'd like to be on the aisle anyway. It's easier to get in and out.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Thanks.

I'm a new user of your credit card and I was wondering if I'm taking full advantage of it.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, there certainly are many benefits that go along with our credit card.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, of course. It's so much easier than cash, to be honest; nowadays I hardly ever use cash. I just put it on the card and pay off the balance every month.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You know it is not necessary to pay the balance in full every month.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes, you will see on your monthly bill and statement the amount in full but also the minimum payment.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant So, if for some reason I was having a bad month and spent a little too much I could just pay the minimum?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes. As long as you keep making regular monthly payments, paying the minimum is just fine. Of course, your credit limit will be lowered accordingly.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant How so?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user For example, if your credit limit is 5,000 RIB and you owe 1,000 RIB, your available credit will be 4,000 RIB. So, your credit limit drops.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Oh, I see. Well, I don't plan on only paying the minimum, but it's good to know that I can if I had to. Thanks for that.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user Hi, Mr. Smith. I'm Dr. Hawkins. Why are you here today?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I thought it would be a good idea to get a check-up.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes, well you haven't had one for... five years. You should have one every year.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I know. I figure as long as there's nothing wrong, why go see the doctor?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them early. So, try to come at least once a year for your own good.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant O. K.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Let me see here. Your eyes and ears look fine. Take a deep breath, please. Do you smoke, Mr. Smith?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and heart disease, you know. You really should quit.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'Ve tried a hundred times, but I just can't seem to kick the habit.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, we have classes and some medications that might help. I'll give you more information before you leave.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant O. K., thanks, doctor.<|im_end|>
