Oh, by the way, have the physics grades been posted yet? M: I didn't go and look. I was so busy worrying about chemistry. Do you think there's any possibility of me passing for the year if I fail the final? W: Sure there is. It's the average that is important. Come on. Just relax. How about having a cup of coffee?

Q: Dialogue: M: Mary Lou Westin. It's been a hundred years! I haven't seen you since we were in high school. W: Randy? Randy Betford? Oh, my goodness, you look exactly the same! Even your hair is the same... curls everywhere! M: Well, you look... a lot different... But I mean that in a good way. W: Well, I got tired of that blond hair, so I decided to become a redhead, and I've never looked back! I also lost a lot of weight, and I'm really trying hard to keep it off. I don't wanna look like I did in high school ever again! M: So, do you live here? What do you do? W: I'm a lawyer in Brookfield, the next town over. I just come out here on weekends to do my shopping. What about you? M: I sell insurance, but I'm actually working in Springfield. We're looking to open a new office here in Ovington, so that's why I'm out here. W: Do you like your job? M: Well, I guess I make a nice living, but it's really boring work. I wish I could just change careers. W: I agree. I actually have the opposite problem. I work for an environmental law firm, so the work is exciting, and I feel like I'm really making a difference. The only problem is that the pay is quite low, so I'm basically living hand to mouth every month. M: That sounds like a fair trade, though. I'd switch places with you in a second. Say, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? I know a great seafood place. W: That would be fantastic!

I'm buying some Christmas gifts for those who work with me, but it's really a headache. M: Maybe I could give you some advice. Firstly, you'd better divide them into different groups-who were the people that are your friends as well as your workmates and who are the people you do not know well but you see pretty much daily. W: OK, then what should I do? M: For the friends, you want to get them personal gift. Do they like chocolate? W: This is what I always give, but I know Mary is on a diet. M: Does she like fruit or coffee? Anyway, think of the gift that you know your friend likes. W: Well, I think fruit is helpful to keep fit. What about the rest of them? M: Leave cards in their mailboxes or on their desks. W: Christmas cards? M: Yes, you can afford that. More importantly, it's true of them that you're thinking of them. W: Thank you for your suggestion, Tim. You really have saved me and my money as well. Question: What are the two speakers talking about? - Buying holiday presents. - Making a Christmas plan. - Sharing opinions on friendship.
