You seem to like her very much, don't you?	I can't deny that. She is so beautiful that I fell in love with her at the first sight. I wish I knew more about her.
But I heard that she had a three-year-old girl.	I can not belive that. It must be cooked up by someone.
Paul, what kind of music do you like to listen to?	All kinds, but mostly Pop, rock and classical. Why?
I have tickets to a show. Do you want to go with me?	What kind of music is it?
Pop. It's Maria Carey.	When is it?
At 8P M tomorrow night.	Yeah, I'd like to go. Do you think we should have dinner first?
Yes, that's a good idea.	Let's eat at the restaurant across the street from my apartment.
Oh, I think I know the place you mean. We ate there last month, right?	Yes, that's right. You have a good memory.
Steve. Is that you?	Yeah. What's going on?
Not much. What a surprise to see you here.	Yeah. It's been a couple of months since I saw you.
What have you been up to?	I just started working out.
Really? Where do you work out at?	I joined the Samsung Health Club last month.
What do you mostly do during your workout?	I concentrate mostly on my legs, chest, arms and stomach.
I should start exercising more.	It's hard work while exercising, but it is a great feeling when I get done.
I have a running machine at home. I used to use it, but I already got sick of it.	Exercising at home is hard. The environment is not suited for exercising.
If I want to exercise, I will need to join a gym.	I have a couple of guest passes. You want to check out my health club?
That's a good idea. Let's go over the weekend.	Great. I'll call you Saturday morning.
Aright. I'll talk to you later.	Ok. Bye.
I went shopping without my umbrella yesterday morning.	Yesterday morning was beautiful i thought the sunning was going to continue.
So did i. that's why i didn't take my umbrella. i got cold in the rain in the afternoon. it was raining cats and dogs.	I know. i could not believe it when i got hit by that storm. it was pouring with rain all afternoon.
We really have some miserable weather sometime. i wish i would live somewhere which were sunning all year round.	If it was sunning all year round there would be drought. you probably would not like it either.
I guess you are right. maybe i just wish the weather could be a little more predictable.	The weather forecasters are not good at predicting the weather would be like. our weather is so changeable.
All right, let's see who's ruining my TV time.	What are you going to do? Call my boss and chew him out?
Is your boss named Vic? Your pager says, This is Vic. Here I come!	Impossible. My pager is really old. It doesn't display messages.
Here, see for yourself. That's really strange! It's almost the same as when I. . .	Gosh, you're right! It's from some guy named Vic. I wonder who he is. . .
Will you give your friends a buzz and put out a feeler to see if they like to offer me a loan?	Give them a buzz? What can I say to them? Say that you want a loan?
I just want to make sure that there is possibility of giving us a loan.	And they, too, want to make sure their loan is worthwhile.
I'm pleased to meet you again, Mrs. King.	Pleased to see you, too, Mr. Brown.
You've had a good trip, I hope.	Yes, a very pleasant journey, thank you.
It's been a full two years since we last saw each other.	So it is, I've come again to renew our sole agency agreement for another 2 years.
We shall be pleased to talk the matter over with you. You've done very well in fulfilling the agreement.	I'm glad you're satisfied with our work. I can assure you we've spared no effort and spent quite a sum of money in pushing the sales of your products.
Yes, we appreciate your efforts in pushing the sales of our pianos. We can see you are experienced in this particular line.	Thank you.
But I think the annual sale of 300 pianos for a sole distributorship in Canada is rather conservative. After all, you sold around 400 pieces there last year. You can sell more this year according to the marketing conditions at your end.	That is the result of our hard work. Well, what annual quantity would you suggest for the new agreement then?
500 pieces.	No, no. That's too big a number to be acceptable. Let's put it at 450 pieces. And we'll strive to sell more, of course. We wish to add another clause. For every 50 pieces sold in excess of the quota, we'll get 1 % more in commission for our efforts.
All right, let's fix it at 450 pieces then. And for every additional 50 pianos sold, we'll give you 1 % higher commission.	I suppose all the other terms remain unchanged.
We would like to make a specific mention of one more point. As our sole distributor, you will neither handle the same or similar products of other origins nor re-export our goods to any other area outside your own.	No, certainly not. That's a reasonable restriction.
Another thing is that every six months we would like to receive from you a detailed report on current market conditions and the users comments on our products.	Yes, we've already prepared one. I've brought it with me. I'll put it forward when we talk with the manufacturers tomorrow.
Good, that's all then.	Good.
Hi, what can I do for you?	I'd like to send this package to France. Can it be delivered in the next 5 days?
Yes, we offer an overnight service. It'll cost $70.	Ah, that's a bit expensive. Do you have a 3 days service?
No, but we can get your package to France in one week for $40.	Well, that sounds good. I'll take that. Is the service guaranteed?
Yes, we also offer a service where we can track your package, but that will cost $10 extra.	Oh, I won't need the tracking service.
If we employ you, what starting salary would you expect?	I'd like to start at 3000 yuan a month.
I think your background and experience are worth the compensation.	Does it include bonuses?
No, there are annual bonuses, one week paid vacation a year, and health insurance.	Very good.
Where did you go yesterday?	I went to play tennis in the public park.
How often do you play tennis?	Twice a week. How about you?
I seldom play tennis. I prefer football and basketball.	But it is very difficult to gather a team of players together.
I usually play with my schoolmates.	Do you like watching football matches?
I'd like to order broadband internet for my laptop.	Just plug the Ethernet cable into your computer, and a prompt will tell you the payment options.
Well, I don't have an Ethernet port. My computer runs entirely on wireless service.	That's too bad. But there are several alternatives, if you want to hear them.
Yes, please! Tell me about the alternatives.	We run a fully equipped computer lab on the first floor.
Very good. How much does that cost?	The service is free to hotel patrons. However, printing costs ten cents per page.
I see. And the other alternatives?	Alternatively, we do offer wireless in our lobby. You can bring your laptop down here.
Great! What if I need to print something in the lobby?	You would have to use the computer lab. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
May I help you, sir?	Yes, I have many things to buy. I would like to choose the cleaning milk first.
All right. What is your type of skin?	Dry. That's my problem.
You can use this. It has special effect for keeping your face moisturized. It has this lotion, as a gift attached.	Sounds good. What about shampoo? I would like to buy the product that prevents scurf.
How about this one? It is well-known for the effect of removing scurf.	Is it a newcomer?
Yes, it is a new brand.	I do not care the brand as long as it works well.
Anything else?	I want to buy the toothpaste, the brand of Jiajieshi.
How can I help you?	I'd like to buy some perfume for my girlfriend.
Do you know what kind of scent she usually wears?	She usually doesn't wear anything but a few drops of Chanel No. 5. But I'd like to buy her a new Fragrance.
OK, here are some of our most popular perfumes.	Which one would you recommend?
Personally, I quite like the new perfume from Clinique. It's a subtle flowery scent. What do you think?	That smells great. I'll take one bottle, please.
Would you like to buy any other cosmetics for your girlfriend? We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers and moisturizers.	It's OK. She normally just wears a little foundation and some loose powder, and I don't know what shade to buy.
How about some lipstick? Every woman needs a nice tube of lipstick.	She doesn't usually wear lipstick. She thinks it makes her nose look too big.
How about some mascara? That will make her eyes look bigger.	No, thank you. She has big enough eyes as it is.
I know what she would like-some whitening cream.	No thanks. Western women usually try to make their skin darker, not lighter.
Will that be all then?	That will be all. You've been very helpful, thanks.
how's your job search going?	I don't know. I only started looking for a job a few days ago.
I see. Have you found anything that you're interested in?	I've only found a few openings in my field.
what kind of job are you looking for?	I'm trying to find a job in sound engineering.
there's not a very high demand for that kind of job, is there?	unfortunately not. If I can't find anything in the field, then I could also work in the tourism field.
that's a good idea. You have plenty of experience in the tourism industry, don't you?	yes.
by the way, I saw a job in the paper this morning that you might be interested in.	really? what is it?
it's a job at a recruitment agency.	that's interesting. Do you think they'd hire me?
well, you have plenty of experience job hunting. I think you'd be the perfect person for the job!	that's true. I might as well call them up and see if I can get an interview. Do you have the details?
Oh, hey, Keri! You cook, right! You're a pretty good cook.	I'm OK.
OK. I want to make an omelet, so actually this is really silly, I've never made one before. How do you make an omelet?	OK, Well, I can teach you how I make them, which is the same way my father and grandmother make them, which is a little special.
Wow. That sounds really good.	Mm, it is.
Now tell me, what's your problem?	I don't feel like eating. And I cannot sleep well.
Do you have a fever?	Yes, a low fever. I feel terrible. Am I dying?
Certainly not. Take one of these white pills three times a day.	Before the meals or after the meals?
I know why Mr. Fro didn't like our ad idea! He doesn't know the first thing about coffee.	True. I always see him drinking instant.
Let's take him some of Kitty's best and make the pitch again.	Do you think that will be enough to make him have a change of heart?
I'm really glad that you came to see me.	I had to. I was missing you a lot.
I was missing you too.	So, why haven't you visited me?
I've actually been busy lately.	What have you been doing?
I've just been working really hard.	I've also been busy.
Tell me what you've been doing.	Basically, I've been working too.
Well whatever, I'm glad you came.	So am I.
Are you here about your ticket?	Yes, I am, Your Honor.
What is your argument?	Your Honor, the police officer pulled me over for speeding.
You must've been speeding.	No, Your Honor, I was not.
Tell me how many miles per hour you were going.	I was going 35 in a 40 mph zone.
That's fine, so I'll let you go with a warning.	So, I don't have to pay the ticket?
You won't have to pay the fine.	Thank you very much, Your Honor.
Is our destination the amusement park?	Yes, I think even though we are adults, it's still a good place for us to relax.
What are you going to enjoy?	I want some exciting. Which is more fun, the roller coaster or the ferris wheel?

You seem to like her very much, don't you?

I can't deny that. She is so beautiful that I fell in love with her at the first sight. I wish I knew more about her.

But I heard that she had a three-year-old girl.

Paul, what kind of music do you like to listen to?

All kinds, but mostly Pop, rock and classical. Why?

I have tickets to a show. Do you want to go with me?

What kind of music is it?

Pop. It's Maria Carey.

When is it?

At 8P M tomorrow night.

Yeah, I'd like to go. Do you think we should have dinner first?

Yes, that's a good idea.

Let's eat at the restaurant across the street from my apartment.

Oh, I think I know the place you mean. We ate there last month, right?

Yes, that's right. You have a good memory.

Steve. Is that you?

Not much. What a surprise to see you here.

I know. i could not believe it when i got hit by that storm. it was pouring with rain all afternoon.

We really have some miserable weather sometime. i wish i would live somewhere which were sunning all year round.

If it was sunning all year round there would be drought. you probably would not like it either.

I guess you are right. maybe i just wish the weather could be a little more predictable.

The weather forecasters are not good at predicting the weather would be like. our weather is so changeable.

All right, let's see who's ruining my TV time.

What are you going to do? Call my boss and chew him out?

Thank you very much, Your Honor.

Is our destination the amusement park?

Yes, I think even though we are adults, it's still a good place for us to relax.

What are you going to enjoy?

I want some exciting. Which is more fun, the roller coaster or the ferris wheel?
