<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user I'm so hungry. Let me have a look at the menu.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant We can pig out on potato chips and cookies. They are very cheap.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Our company is going to do some cutbacks soon.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really? Where did you hear that?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I met with the supervisor just this morning. I don't know, but I am a little worried. Who do you think will get sacked?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'm not sure... well, first, it couldn't be George. He is such a kiss-ass. He'd wash the boss's dog if he asked.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No, it's not going to be George. I don't think it's Andy either. He is involved with the boss's sister in-law. And you know how whipped our boss is.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant That's true. What about Lisa? I bet there's nobody who could do a worse job than her.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Lisa? No way. I've heard a rumor that she and the boss were having an affair. You know rumors can't come out from nowhere.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, okay. Then there is still Michael. But he's the boss'pet after having the best sales record for three months in a row. It definitely won't be Michael.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No, that would be crazy. But then who will it be? Oh dear, it must be me. I should have known it! Why else would he have talked to me alone about the downsizing. What should I do? I've got a family to support.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Well, it could be me too. But I am not too worried. This place is suffocating me with this boss being such a hard-ass and colleagues who barely know how to get dressed in the morning. It would almost be a blessing to be fired from this place.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user How do I make a good impression in the interview?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You should try to put your best foot forward, and be careful of your personal appearance. At least you should get yourself dressed up. Appearance isnt everything, but it's the first thing an interviewer notices about you.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Anything else?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Don't boast and don't be modest.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What do you mean by this? You can't do the two things at the same time.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Appear confident and show the interviewers that you're competent. Don't exaggerate things or you'll give the impression that you're talking big.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I see.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Try to be natural, alert and interested.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You'Ve given me very valuable advice and I have more confidence in myself now. Thank you very much.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant My pleasure. Good luck to you.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user Jason. There's a snag in the plans for the Hoover Center.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What's wrong? I thought everything was set.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, it was. But the contractor's just told me he's not going to be able to finish by the twentieth, as planned.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Maybe we could work out an overtime schedule. It's definitely worth it to finish by the twentieth.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user How were you getting along with your studies?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Quite well. I made good records in college. I won the scholarship in every semester.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user In addition to your major, did you have other fields to study?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Yes, I had taken finance courses in a training school. Compound talents are needed in the society and I must study continually to keep abreast with the times.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Excuse me, what's the charge for a picture?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant $ 1. You can get your photos instantly.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That's great. Give me the landscape of the Triumphal for the background.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant No problem. Say'cheese'. That's good. Please wait a moment.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user What can I do for you today?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Can I sign up for some classes today?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Which classes?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I would like to take a driver's course.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Would you like to make an appointment?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Why do I need an appointment?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You need to sign the paperwork.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Can I do that right now?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user When can you come in?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant How about 9 o'clock tomorrow morning?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'll schedule you for then.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Thanks for all your help.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user The tea smells good. What tea is it?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It's a special green tea named Longing Tea from Zhejiang province.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What's special about it except its pleasant smell?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You can see that it keeps the original color of the tea leaves very well.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user They must have some special methods to do this during the process.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Probably. I love green tea. It's one of my daily necessities.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Then, do you have “ tea time ” every day? I mean, do you drink tea at a settled time?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Not really. But I really love to have after-meal tea.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What's the advantage about tea?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant There are a lot of them. In hot or warm days, tea helps to dispel the heat and brings on an instant cool with a feeling of relaxation. Moreover, the tea leaves contain a number of chemicals which are good for people's health.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Does that mean the stronger the better?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant No. Constant drinking of over-strong tea would do harm to people's health. So don't make your tea too strong.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Got it. What's the proper time for tea?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It's fine for most time of the day. But don't have tea before bedtime.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Why?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant It will give rise to occasional insomnia. OK, let's enjoy the tea before it gets cold.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Next please! Hello sir, may I see your passport please?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, here you go.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Will you be checking any bags today.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, I'd like to check three pieces.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'm sorry, sir. Airline policy allows only two pieces of checked luggage, at twenty kilograms each, plus one piece of carry-on luggage. I will have to charge you extra for the additional suitcase.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What? Why! I am taking an intercontinental flight! I'm flying sixteen thousand CMS! How am I supposed to only take two, twenty kilo bags? That'absurd!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I am sorry, sir, there's nothing I can do. You cannot board the flight with that large bag either.Carry - on bags must fit in the over-head compartment or under your seat. That bag is clearly too big.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Now I see. You charge next to nothing for an international ticket, but when it comes to charging for any other small thing, you charge an arm and a leg! So tell me, miss, how much will I have to pay for all of this.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Let's see... six hundred and twenty-five US dollars.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant That's more than my round-trip ticket!<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Hi, Mr. Brown, we have visited the factories and I'm very satisfied with your factories production conditions.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, they are our main export bases of tools with the advantage of having good production experience and long historical record. All their products enjoy high prestige in the world market.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That's very good. But I have little knowledge about the packing of your pliers. I just want to know the details about that.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Ok, I'll show you how the packing is like. We have a showroom on the ground floor. Let's go downstairs and have a look.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Sure.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant These are the various kinds of packing for pliers. Normally, we have three types of packing<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Oh, the packing looks very nice.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant The skin packing is the most advanced packing for this product in the world market. It catches the eyes and can help push sales.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Good, what about the export packing?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, they are packed in boxes of two dozens each, 100 boxes to a wooden case.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Is the wooden case strong enough for transportation? You see, 100 boxes of pliers are very heavy. It's about 2,400 kilograms.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You can rest assured of that. So far, no customers have complained about our outer packing.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'm glad to hear that. By the way, do you accept neutral packing?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, we can pack the goods according to your instructions.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Very good. Ok, Mr. Brown, I'm now totally satisfied with your packing. You can execute our first order now, and I will open the L / C immediately after I return to Taipei.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant All right. We'll make the shipment as soon as your L / C is on hand.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user Can you do me a favor?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure. What is it?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you keep an eye on my bag, please? Nature's calling.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure. Will you be long?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No, I just want to use the bathroom.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Go ahead. It will be safe with me.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Did you ever get your bus pass?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I don't think I'm going to get one.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Why not?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It's just a waste of cash, man!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Actually, it'll save you money.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Oh, really?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Because you can use your bus pass as many times as you want.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yeah, and you never have to worry about scraping for change.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant That sounds like a good deal.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yeah, So, are you going to buy one?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant I will.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>assistant That'll be fine.<|im_end|>

Everything would be ready in a minute.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you bring me a glass of orange juice, please? I am quite thirsty.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Here you are. Here you go.

Bring me one this week, please.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user How long will it take for my new apartment to be ready?<|im_end|>

We have testimonials from various companies who are very happy with the service.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, I'm sure you do.

Plenty of the spaces here are free when people drive their cars out to work.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Ah... I see.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant We plan to rent some of them out at the hourly rates.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What is the hourly rate for a car like this?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I am not sure. But it'll be at least ten yuan an hour.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user How mush would it cost if someone parks here for one hour and ten minutes?<|im_end|>

I'm gonna go and make you some chicken soup.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'm not hungry, Mom.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I know you don't have an appetite, but you need to eat something. You'll get too weak if you don't eat.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Oh... I'm sweating already. It's so hot. I can feel it boiling! Can I get out yet?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant That's a good sign. But just soak a little longer, OK?<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user I'd like to help pitch in with dinner.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really? You're joking.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No. I'd like to do something special for you on your birthday.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'd like that. Alright, put on this apron first.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user OK... Now how can I help, hon?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Hmm, let me see... Boil some water.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Easy. I could do that with my eyes closed. ( after a while ) Done.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Not bad. Okay, now take some meat and potatoes from the fridge.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user How many potatoes do you need?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Three. And bring four bell peppers.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Gotcha... OK. Here they are.<|im_end|>

Hey, the fruit looks different this time.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I make each one a little different. It's a way for me to express my creativity!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It looks really artistic! How did you learn to do that?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Oh, look at your table!

<|im_start|>user I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's that time of year again. Have you got your performance evaluations finished yet?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Oh no! Evaluations! You can tell that's not my favorite job; I haven't even started yet. When is the deadline for turning in thecompleted forms?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Well, you do still have three weeks. But remember the employee must sign them, too. Filling them in is nothing - it's meetingwith the employees that takes so much time.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I never know how to rate the employees'work. Of course attendance and productivity are easy, I just look at the sales figures.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user So it's the subjective criteria like team building and colleague support that you find hard?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Exactly! Attitude... how do you rate attitude?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I suggest letting each employee fill out his or her own evaluation for those items. Then, based on their self - assessment, you can add your comments. It's a great starting point for discussion<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Great idea. And after all, that's the whole point of an evaluation. I almost can't wait to give it a try.<|im_end|>

But the other candidate has several years of related experiences.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Maybe that is true. But I am a fast learner and I am willing to work overtime, and I do not mind a lot of business travel.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user We surely believe you.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Can't you give me another chance and reconsider your decision?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I am afraid we are sticking to our choice.<|im_end|>

I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I am afraid not. Have you lost your passport?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I think so. I can't find it anywhere in my hotel room and I remember the last place I used it yesterday was in this department store.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Where exactly did you use your passport in the store?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user In the shoe department. I had to show it to pay for these shoes with my traveler's cheques.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, let me call the shoe department to see if they'Ve found a passport. Sorry, your passport hasn't turned up there either.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Then what shall I do?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You can fill in this lost property report and I will keep my eye out for it. These kinds of things usually turn up eventually, but I suggest you contact your embassy and tell them about your situation, so they can issue you a new passport in case it doesn't show up.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You are right.

<|im_start|>user Greetings should never be ignored in the interview.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure. It is helpful to shorten the distance between you and the interviewer and create a lively atmosphere.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Appropriate greetings will win the interviewer's favorable impression<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant But you should pay special attention to your words and attitudes.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user In the beginning of the interview, greet the interviewer with a kind smile.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant In the interview, use polite words, such as'Thank you', or'Please'.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That's right. Details can mean succeed or fail.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant When talking you should focus your eyes on the interviewer in order to closely watch his or her expressions.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user At the end of the interview, you should make your acknowledgements and say Goode.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Whatever the result is, you should keep your good demeanor.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Only in this way can you leave a good impression on the interviewer.<|im_end|>

<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Tell me something about yourself and your past experience.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I have eight years of experience working in the IT industry. For the past two years, I have been working as a project manager for a dotcom. I am also MI certified. I'm looking for a team environment where I can join the excitement of building a company.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What experience have you had that qualifies you for this position?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I have worked on a variety of projects and jobs in the high tech industry. I wanted to have the experience of working for a dotcom and have learned something about being in on the ground floor of a business.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What attracted you to this job?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I've been searching for a while now to find a company that had a business model and corporate philosophy like yours. I am interested in working for a company that provides products and services to the K - 12 education market. My background is in this field, and my strength is in building relationships and solving problems. I am excited and interested in the idea of developing business relationships through e-commerce.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What qualities do you think are important to this position?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant To have a combination of technical and business knowledge and to be very results-oriented.

I like definite deadlines and I like to meet those deadlines. I expect some deviation from the original plan, but I try to stay focused and not let myself drift too far. I have great attention to detail and like to take my time and do it right the first time.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Why did you leave your last position?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I've set some goals for myself and my career, and unfortunately I'm at a standstill in my current situation. I have begun to explore options available before I spend too much time in a job where I can't advance. My goal is to continue to take on new responsibilities and be a key contributor to the success of an online venture.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What are your salary expectations?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary. I'd like to postpone that discussion until later.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Do you have any questions?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Yes, I do. Who are your financial backers? Who are the key competitors? Does the company have a plan for the IPO? What would you say is the best thing about your product or service?<|im_end|>

I've already put it in my suitcase.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Pack some necessary medicine in your carry-on.<|im_end|>

I just lost one hour's worth of work.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Really? How could you do that? Don't you save every couple minutes?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user No, I didn't save this time.Damn it! And I'm sick of writing this paper. Now I have to write it all over again too.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I've had that problem too many times. So I learned to save.When I'm writing something, I save every three sentences or so. I don't want to lose anything.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I hate computers. Sometimes I think they cause more trouble than they're worth.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What are we going to do now?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I don't know. I feel like going out.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I wonder how much of the city is down.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user It doesn't matter. I still can go out and buy a beer.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Maybe. But if there's a blackout, probably the pubs are closed.And besides, I know you have a political science exam tomorrow. I thought you had a lot of reading to do.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes, that's true. Damn! I just lost half my paper, and now I can't even do my homework.This is a bad time for this to happen.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I have a flashlight in my closet.

I think I'll go out myself.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Maybe we can trade.Why don't you stay here and read for my exam, and I'll go drink beer?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant No, it just won't work.If I read for your exam, you won't know the answers tomorrow. I will.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user So? You can go to the class for me.Just write my name on the exam book and take the exam. Why not?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant How many students are in the class?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user About fourteen.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant So it won't work, old buddy. They'll see that I'm not you. Sorry.<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user Here's our sample room.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant You've got a large collection of sample foodstuffs here.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes. We are exporting a wide range of foodstuffs to many countries. And the demand is getting greater and greater.By the way, which items are you interested in?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'm particularly interested in shortbreads. Do you have some samples you could show me?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes. This way, please.

A cop was there so he can prove that the damage wasn't there.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That sucks. I'd be pissed if that happened to me.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I got an estimate and it's four thousand dollars.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Oh my gosh.

<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user How often do you use the internet?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I use it almost every day, but I usually only use it to check my email. I don't often surf the net. You use the internet a lot, don't you?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes. I use it to find products and components at the lowest price for my company. It can be frustrating when the connection is poor.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant So, you're online eight hours a day.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes, I like the job though. Sometimes, I help other people in the office if they're having trouble online.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant How useful do you think the internet is as a source of information?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I think it's fairly useful, but there are two big problems. First, a lot of the information you find online is false. Second, when you buy something online, you don't see it until you actually get it.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant How do you solve the website problems when you're buying something online?<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user I plan to add an introductory letter behind the resume to increase the probabilities of success in the interview.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant That's a good idea. Do you know how to write an introductory letter?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'm not sure of that. Do you know?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I just know a little. First you need to include your basic information, such as your name, age, gender and major, etc.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes, I think so, too. I must introduce myself in truth.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I think the most important is that you need to show the employer that you are qualified for that job.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user So I should write my strengths in the introductory letter, especially those related to the work.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, thus the employer can know you very well, and then decide whether you are the right person.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user You are very nice to tell me those.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant I wish you good luck!<|im_end|>
<im_start>system A conversation between you and a user.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user OK, I'm sorry it took so long.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I understand.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user The phone has been ringing off the hook today.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>user Do you have any plans for dinner tonight?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant No, I was thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven or something. How about you?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I was thinking maybe we could make dinner together tonight. What do you think?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I'm absolutely useless at cooking!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I could teach you how to cook something healthy. Frozen pizza are so bad for you!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I know they aren't good for you, but they are cheap, convenient, and fairly tasty.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I recently saw a recipe for spicy chicken curry in a magadize. Maybe we could try that?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yeah, why not. Do you have all the ingredients?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I bought all the ingredients this morning, so let's start!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What do we do first?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user first, you need to wash the vegetables and then chop them into little pieces.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Ok. Should I heat the wok?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yes. Once it gets hot, put a little oil in it, add the vegetables and stir-fry them for a few minutes.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant What about the chicken?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That needs to be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and then it can be stir-fried on its own until its cooked through.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant How about the rice?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'll prepare that. Do you prefer white rice or brown rice?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant White rice, please. None of that healthy brown stuff for me!<|im_end|>

You see, in our market October is the season for the kind of commodity. So the goods must be shipped before October or we won't be ready for the season.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, considering our long standing good business relationship, we'll try hard to negotiate with our manufacturers for an earlier delivery.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Thanks. Then may I suggest that you put down in the contract'shipment on September 15 or earlier'?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant Let me see. Now the workers will have to work on three shifts for it. Well, we can manage it on 20th September. That's the best we can do.<|im_end|>
