M: Hello. Genie's Bookstore.

W: Finally. I've been put on hold for the past twenty minutes.

M: I'm very sorry. We've been getting a lot of calls today. How may I help you?

W: I'm calling to check on the order that I placed two weeks ago.

M: May I have your name, please?

W: Lucy Hopkins.

M: Yes, Ms. Hopkins... Can you wait a moment while I pull up your records?

W: Wait? It seems that's all I've been doing lately. I was supposed to receive my books a week ago.

M: Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Let me check.... It looks like your books will arrive within the next seven days.

W: Seven days? So I have to wait for another week? Cancel my order. I'm going to find another bookstore.

M: But I guarantee your order will be delivered in a week.

W: Just forget it!

W: Hi, Jason. How are you?

M: Hi, I'm good. How about you, Cathy? You look very tired.

W: Yes, I feel exhausted. I didn't get a wink of sleep because of the soccer match last night.

M: What? Did you watch the semifinals of the World Cup between Brazil and Germany at 3:30 in the morning?

W: Yeah, that's right.

M: You must be a soccer-holic. Was the game exciting?

W: No. It was one of the most boring games I'd ever seen. It was a bad decision to watch the game.

M: Maybe. Moreover, you have a marketing presentation in front of the directors this morning. Can you handle it?

W: No, I don't think I can do that well. I just feel like going home and sleeping as soon as possible.

M: You'll have to find a way to energize yourself for the presentation. You know, if you don't make a good impression and answer questions confidently during the presentation, your career in this company may be in trouble.

W: Yeah, you're right. Oh, why did I watch the game? I shouldn't have stayed up all night.

W: Hey, Brian. Where are you going?

M: Hi, Stella! I 'm going to the multimedia center. I have to return these CDs. What about you?

W: To J&K Department Store.

M: Now? It's only 10:20 in the morning. Don't you think it's a bit early to go shopping?

W: Well... I'm going there not to go shopping but to get my prize.

M: To get your prize? What do you mean by that?

W: You know I participated in a giveaway event held by the department store, don't you? I won the second prize.

M: Really? Wow, you're so lucky. In fact, I've never won any prizes. Anyway, what is the prize?

W: A brand-new notebook computer. In fact, I was about to buy a new one. But now I don't have to.

M: That's great! Ah, you were selected as the first prize winner at another event last month, weren't you?

W: Yeah, that's right. It was organized by Rainbow Computer. At that time I got a digital camera.

M: I think you're a really lucky girl. If only I were half as lucky as you are!

M: Cindy, are you still reading this novel?

W: Yeah, it's really interesting. Once I finish reading it, let me lend it to you. You'll also be fascinated by its touching story.

M: Okay, thanks. Anyway, can you stop reading for a minute? I have something very important to tell you.

W: Something important? What is it?

M: I was just at the main library. The library put the names of the people they hired as assistant librarians on the board.

W: Did they? Hey, tell me. Is my name on the board?

M: Yes, it is. You've just got a part-time job that will pay $12 an hour. And you're supposed to work from next week.

W: Really? Thanks for letting me know. Oh, what a relief! I was really worried that I might not be able to get this job. As you know, I may have a hard time paying tuition without a part-time job.

M: I know. That’'s why I came straight to you as soon as I saw the result.

W: Thank you, Daniel.

M: Honey, I'm home.

W: Hi, sweetie. Back home so late. What happened?

M: My boss called an urgent meeting when I was about to leave the office.

W: I see. By the way, did you book the ship tickets to Green Island this weekend?

M: Sure, I did it during the lunch hour. You know, we got a 30% discount off the regular price because it's the low season.

W: That's great. What about accommodations? Did you also reserve a room?

M: Yes, I did. Can you guess which hotel I booked?

W: No, I can't. Just tell me which hotel you booked.

M: Don't be surprised. We're going to stay at Kingdom Hotel.

W: Kingdom Hotel? Oh, that's one of the most luxurious hotels in Green Island and where I wanted to stay. But I think the hotel is pretty expensive, isn't it?

M: Don't worry about the price. I also got 30% off for the same reason as the ship ticket discount.

W: Really? That's really nice. Now all we have to do is enjoy our trip, then.

W: Albert, can I talk to you for a minute?

M: Sure, Miss Redford.

W: Last night, I finished reading your short story on friendships within your generation.

M: You did? How'd you like it?

W: In the beginning it was a little bit boring, and the description of the characters was somewhat unclear.

M: Well... I'm sorry to hear that. In fact, I was hoping to get some positive feedback from you.

W: Please let me finish my comment. As I kept on reading the story, I found that the storyline was quite impressive and really interesting. I also thought that the ending was really touching.

M: Really? Thank you for saying so. Then, you think there's a possibility that I can win the story contest if I submit it?

W: Absolutely! You're sure to win.

W: Honey, I went to the police station this afternoon.

M: I see. What did they say?

W: Nothing, really. They just told me that they would contact me if they found our pet. Where on earth is she now?

M: Did you give them a picture of her?

W: Yes, I did. What about you? Did you put lost pet posters on the walls around the neighborhood?

M: Yeah. But I think we need more posters... about 100 copies. I covered only half of the neighborhood.

W: I see. I'll ask the copy store to print about 100 more copies.

M: Okay. As soon as the posters are available, I'll put them up.

W: I'll come with you.

M: I hope someone will take good care of her until we find her.

W: What if she gets in a serious accident or we never find her?

M: Don't talk like that. I'm afraid it may become a reality.

W: Yeah, but I just can't stop thinking that the worst case scenario can happen to us.

M: Yes. I'd like to order a fax machine.

W: May I have the model number, please?

M: I'd like the black one, please. And I'd also like to order a scanner. The model number is SCN-2000.

W: Okay. We'll apply that to your order. Would you like to take advantage of our three-month or six-month installment plan? It's interest-free.

W: Hi, I'm looking for some gifts for my family.

M: Well, look around the shop. We have a large collection of souvenirs.

M: It's eight dollars per set of postcards.

W: Okay. I'd like to buy two sets. Oh, these key-rings are cute.

M: They are six dollars each. Would you like to buy them, too?

W: Yes, I'll buy three key-rings for my three sisters. Well, I have a younger brother, but I can't decide on a good gift for him.

M: How about this pencil sharpener? It's small, so he can carry it with him in a pencil case.

W: Cool! I think he'll like it. How much is it?

M: It's two dollars, but I'll give it to you free of charge.

W: Really? You're so kind. Here's forty dollars.

M: Thank you. Here's your change.

M: Hello, Smart Print Shop. How may I help you?

W: Hi. I'd like to print a fifty-page pamphlet. I want it printed in color on A4 paper.

M: For fifty pages, it will cost two dollars per pamphlet. How many copies are you going to order in total?

W: Well, about four to five hundred copies, I think. Is there any discount available for a large quantity order?

M: Yes. If you order 500 or more, it's just one dollar per copy.

W: Really? It's a half-price deal! Then it would be more profitable to print 500 or more.

M: Right. It can save you some money.

W: Then please make 500 copies. Oh, wait a minute! I think I'll order more. I have to send them to our sponsors, too.

M: Then how many more copies do you think you need?

W: Well, I'd like to order an extra 100 copies.

M: Alright. If you bring your pamphlet today, we can get the copies ready by this Thursday.

W: I see. I'll be there with the pamphlet around 3 o'clock today.

M: Hello. Mom, it's me.

W: Oh, Tom. Are you ready to go?

M: Yes, I'm in the train station now. I've just bought a ticket.

W: Great! What is the departure time of the train?

M: It leaves at 1:30. I'll have a light lunch around here while I'm waiting for the train. I have 30 minutes left.

W: Good idea. I'll be at the station to pick you up at 2:30. It takes one hour to get here by train, right?

M: Oh, no! I couldn't get a ticket for the high-speed train this time. There were no seats available. So I'm going on a normal-speed one.

W: Oh, my! Then the train will stop at almost every station.

M: Right. So I think I'm arriving late, but don't worry. I won't be late for the appointment at 5 o'clock.

W: I see. So how long does the train take?

M: They say it takes two and a half hours from this station.

W: Okay, I'll be there on time.

W: Yes, please. I'd like to buy some night cream for my mother.

M: Is there a particular product she prefers?

W: I'm not sure, but I know she has sensitive skin.

M: Then, how about this organic night cream? It's chemical-free and it's only $250.

W: Oh, it's far more expensive than I expected.

M: Okay, then, how about this one? It's one of the best-selling items in this store.

W: Oh, it's from Beauty shop. My mother often uses this brand. How much is it?

M: It's originally $150, but it's on sale now so you can get a special twenty percent discount.

W: Great! Then I'll buy two of those creams. Please gift-wrap them separately.

M: No problem. Just a second, ma'am.

W: Daniel, let's check on the plans for our housewarming party this Sunday.

M: Okay. Let's see. We've already decided on what food to prepare.

W: Right. Now we need to know exactly how many people are coming.

M: Well, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson told me they could join.

W: Yeah, and I heard Neil would bring his wife and his two daughters with him.

M: Cool! It's been a long time since I saw those little ladies. Then we have six guests in total.

W: Well, don't we have two more? You said Lucile would come with her boyfriend.

M: Oh, I forgot to tell you. She called me this morning to say that they couldn't make it because of her business trip.

W: I'm sorry to hear that. I wanted to meet her boyfriend.

M: Me, too, but there will be another chance. Then including us, we should prepare food for eight servings, right?

W: Yes. Let's go shopping for groceries this evening.

W: Danny, how is it going with the preparation for the school festival?

M: So far so good. I've finished designing the poster.

W: Wow, this is great! It looks professional. Did you design it yourself?

M: I got some help from my sister. She's good at computer graphic design.

W: Great! So, how many copies of the poster should we order?

M: Well, let me see. You said we were supposed to send the posters to thirty other high schools, right?

W: Yeah, it can be a kind of invitation to those schools.

M: Right. And we also need to put up the posters on the walls of the buildings on campus.

W: For that, twenty-five copies will do, I think.

M: But I think we'd better order 10 more copies just in case.

W: That sounds good. I'll place an order for them this afternoon.

W: Hey, David. What's that in your left hand?

M: This is a digital camera. I bought it at Zeus Mall yesterday.

W: Wow! It looks great. Is it the latest model?

M: Yes, it is. You'll be surprised if I tell you how much it cost.

W: How much was it?

M: The original price was 500 dollars, but I paid only 350 dollars.

W: Really? How come?

M: Actually, this camera has some minor scratches here on top.

W: Let me see. Well, they are not very noticeable. They have nothing to do with taking pictures, do they?

M: Not at all. The salesclerk said the price was reduced simply because many consumers didn't like the scratches.

W: Anyway, I think you got a good deal.

W: What did you do wrong?

M: I ran through a stop sign while answering a phone call.

W: You mean you used your cell phone while driving?

M: Actually, I didn't pick up the phone. I used a hands-free set.

W: But it also distracts your attention. You shouldn't have answered the phone call.

M: You're right. I won't do that again while driving.

W: By the way, did you get fined for it?

M: Yeah. I asked him to give me a break, but I was fined one hundred dollars.

W: Don't rush. I have one more thing to consider.

M: What else? You just said you liked everything about it.

W: I said almost everything, not everything.

M: I see. What is on your mind?

W: Well, I’'m thinking about the challenges we'll have with the location.

M: Location? It's about a twenty-minute walk from the subway station. It can be good exercise.

W: I don't agree. I don't want to exercise under the hot sun in summer.

M: Come on. It's not a long distance.

W: Let's look around for another house. I want to make sure we make the best choice.

M: I slipped on the stairs and twisted my left ankle yesterday.

W: That's too bad. Did you go to the hospital, then?

M: No. This is just a minor sprain.

W: I think you need to see a doctor. You twisted your ankle about a month ago, didn't you?

M: Yes, but I was okay after a few days and I think I’'ll be okay this time, too.

W: What if you twist your ankle again?

M: I won't. I'll be careful from now on.

W: Listen, George. You are not a doctor and you don't know how serious the injury is.

M: Don't worry. I can take care of myself.

W: You are not okay. Anybody is able to see you're limping from a distance. The injury can worsen.

M: Okay, okay, I see. I'll go see a doctor right now.

W: Yes. I stored the data files on this CD. Here you go.

M: Thanks. Let me check.

M: Good job, Stella. (pause) Uh-oh, the computer can't read anything from the CD.

W: Oh, no! That's impossible. I'm sure I saved the data on it.

M: Look at the screen. It says “no files detected." It is possible that the CD has a scratch on its surface.

W: No. I took care of it very carefully. Is the CD-ROM disk drive okay?

M: Yes. It has no problems. I checked some CDs a few minutes ago. Didn't you back the files up?

W: Yes, I did, on the hard disk drive of my computer at home.

W: I'm a big fan of the Tigers.

M: You mean Baileytown Tigers? They played terribly last year.

W: They are different now. They will play much better than last year.

M: What makes you think so?

W: They scouted Jimmy Anderson, one of the greatest hitters in the league.

M: Oh, really? I didn't know he joined the team. He was an all-star last year.

W: Yes. And their pitching staff will also be excellent this year.

M: You mean they scouted outstanding pitchers, too?

W: Yes. They scouted Rick Taylor and Mike Simpson. You know they are top-class pitchers.

M: Wow! They reinforced themselves with star players, didn't they?

W: Honey, don't you think we need to replace the wornout coffee table in the living room?

M: Yeah, I think so. Did you have something in mind?

W: Yeah, I found a nice type of coffee table on a website yesterday. Just a moment. (pause) Look here.

M: Oh, it has various types of coffee tables. Which type do you like?

W: Look at this oval one. It looks classy and modern, doesn't it?

M: Hmm. But it's too simple. This rectangular one with two drawers would be more practical.

W: You're right. But it looks rather old-fashioned to me. How about this round one? It also has two drawers.

M: That looks nice, but.... We also need some open space for storing books or magazines.

W: Well, then, let's look at the round ones more. Oh, look here. This one has a lower shelf as well as drawers.

M: Oh, great! It looks more practical.

W: The $100 price seems reasonable, too. Then let's place an order for this one.

M: Yeah, go ahead.

W: I can tell how you're feeling just by looking at you. I think you need to relax and rest more than I do. The doctor said that this is not a serious operation.

M: I know that, but I wonder if everything will be all right. Oh, you just relax. I'll come see you before your surgery.

W: Don't come that early. They told me that I would be in the recovery room by eight o'clock in the morning. Why don't you come at that time?

W: But why?

M: I just want to be here with you.

M: Do you think it's easy to cut pollution from cars? Today, the average family minivan gets only 23 miles per gallon. Some lawmakers in Congress want cars nationwide to do better ─ averaging 40 miles per gallon. That would produce less smog per mile traveled. But reaching that goal will be costly. Few customers want to pay the extra cost. Then, what about electric cars? They don't burn fuel, so they put out no exhaust at all. But they aren't perfect. Why? Because batteries that run them get their energy from power plants. And power plants often emit their own pollutants into the air. Solar energy? Both lawmakers and automakers agree there are no easy answers on the road to electric cars powered by the sun. Much more work is needed to make such an earthfriendly car practical.

M: Good morning. I'd like to buy a memory stick for my camera.

W: How much capacity do you want?

M: I am not sure. I want about 1,000 photos stored in my camera.

W: Well, one photo usually occupies 2 or 4 megabytes. So your camera needs 2 or 4 gigabytes of memory space.

M: How much are they?

W: A two-gigabyte memory stick is 20 dollars, and a four-gigabyte one is 30 dollars.

M :Well, I'll buy a four-gigabyte one.

W: But you may need more memory sometime.

M: What do you mean?

W: You may want to have both pretty soon. If you buy both today, I can give you a ten-percent discount.

M: Come to think of it, you're right. I may lose or damage one at any time. Okay. I'll buy both.

W: Thank you, sir. Let me help you pay over there.

W: Good morning, students! Now you students ─ and especially your parents ─ worry about what you can do while in college to help prepare for your career. You don't need to worry about it as there are lots of things for you to do here in college. First of all, find out the types of occupations that your major might lead to. And make sure that you take courses related to your career choice. Secondly, get valuable experience in a company before graduation, and you will have a good chance of working for the company later. Finally, establish good relationships with many professors who have connections with industries that interest you. All these will be helpful later on. Okay. A great opportunity for the right person! Good luck!

W: Exactly what do you report on?

M: Well, for example, what boys and girls are wearing to school, what kind of cell phones they prefer, or what TV shows are popular.

W: Interesting. Why is that important?

M: Companies that make products need to know what appeals to their target group of 8- to-24-year-olds.

W: I see. How much do you get paid for the job?

M: I get about 100 dollars for each report.

W: Sounds like easy and interesting work. Perfect for me, too. Can you recommend me for the company, if possible?

W: Peter works as a shop assistant in a store. The store is having a sale on kitchenware. It has been crowded with many customers all day long, so he is feeling very tired. About five minutes before the store closes, an old lady comes in. The lady asks Peter about some saucepans she saw in the window last week. Peter asks the lady what they were like, reminding her of the closing time. The lady only says they were lovely, dark brown, and had flower-like lids. Peter tells her it's almost all new stock in the window now. Peter says again he has to close the store. But the lady ignores him, browsing throughout the store. Peter is getting more and more irritated. In this situation, what would Peter most likely say to the old lady?
