A: Hi Phil, how are you? Long time no see!
B: Rachel, my old friend, it’s been ages, hasn’t it? What a pleasant surprise!
A: Phil, this is my friend Cindy.
C: Nice to meet you, Phil.
B: It’s a pleasure to meet you too. What are you both doing here?
A: We are signing up for next semester’s courses, but are hesitating between Introduction to Psychology or Environmental Biology.
B: Those are two fantastic courses! I’ve taken them both.
C: Really? Which one did you prefer?
B: Hmm, probably Environmental Biology. It felt more relevant.
C: Relevant? In what sense?
B: In the sense that the course dealt with issues that are commonly in the news, and important problems that are affecting our environment. In fact, we had the opportunity to go to the ocean and conduct tests on water pollution.
C: Wow, that sounds fascinating. I am going to sign up immediately!
9.
B: No problem, my friends. What can I do for you?
A: Phil, thanks a million for agreeing to meet with us. We need your advice on a project for the
Environmental Biology course we are taking.
B: I can help with this. Have you created an introduction yet?
A: Yes, but we don’t know what it should contain.
B: Well, your introduction should give some background information on your topic, define your topic, and preview the content of your presentation.
C: How many main ideas should our presentation have? We need to speak for 15 minutes.
B: Don’t cover too many ideas or you won’t have the opportunity to provide enough detail. You should have about 3 or 4 main points.
A: Do we need a conclusion?
B: Absolutely. This should sum up your main points and offer solutions to the problem of air pollution.
C: Thanks Phil. What you’ve said is extremely useful. I feel we will structure a great presentation!

Julie, can you hear me?
Julie: Yes, I can hear you .
Sean: Julie, can you tell us , what is it like living on the Gemini One ?
Julie: The Gemini One is wonderful . It's not so different from living on Earth, really . We have jobs, friends, entertainment, natural beauty . And we have all the modern conveniences that you have on Earth .
Sean: What modern conveniences ?
Julie: Well, we have movie theaters, game centers , music clubs, shops, restaurants...
Sean: How about food ? How do you get your food ?
Julie:I go shopping, just like everyone on Earth . You can get any type of food here.
Sean: Is food expensive ?
Julie: Some of it is . The stuff that's imported from Earth is very expensive . Like a banana from Earth can cost $100 . But most food is really cheap.
Sean: Do you miss getting away to the countryside or the mountains ? Don't you miss nature ? Julie: Well, we have lots of nature up here . I can go hiking and mountain biking , riding in the hills, take a swim in a beautiful lake . It's really beautiful up here .
Sean: How do people get around up there ?
Julie: Oh, just like we do down there . We have electric cars and trains , but not airplanes . Sean: What do you like most about living in the space station ?
Julie: Well, the air is clean . There's no pollution , and it's easy to get around . It's really an ideal world.
Sean:And what do you like least?
Julie: Well, it's kind of expensive to fly home to Earth to see my parents for the holidays.

A: How can I help you ?
B: I am looking for a place to live, near the university if possible .
A: What size accommodation do you need ?
B: Either a studio flat or a one-bedroom flat. It depends on the price really.
A: Well, both are similar in price, though a studio normally requires less furniture. What would be your preference ?
B: Hmm, I like an open plan, so I guess a studio flat would be my preference. Can you describe a studio layout to me?
A: Most certainly. All of our studio flats combine a bedroom, kitchenette and living room into a single unit.
B: How large is the unit ?
A: 30 square meters.
B: Does it come with a balcony?
A: Some do. In fact, we have one studio with a balcony that is available at the south entrance to the university!
B: Perfect! Let’s schedule a visit as soon as possible!
7.
A: Here’s the room –I hope you like it!
B: It’s beautiful and full of light
A: Yep, the floor to ceiling windows and south facing view make it the brightest room in the apartment. In the summer, you get 16 hours of sunshine per day! In the winter, it’s nice and warm, even in February.
B: Excellent! But I have a lot of furniture –a desk, a bed and a sofa. Is it possible to remove the furniture that is here to make room for mine?
A: Yep, the floor to ceiling windows and south facing view make it the brightest room in the apartment. In the summer, you get 16 hours of sunshine per day! In the winter, it’s nice and warm, even in February.
B: And what’s through that door? A closet?
A: Of course. We have plenty of storage room downstairs.
b:。。。。。
A: Nope. You can use the closet in the hallway, near the kitchen. That door is for the en-suite bathroom. It has both a shower and a bathtub.
B: Wow, my own bathroom. What a luxury!
A: That’s why this room is the most expensive to rent in the apartment!
B: Well, I feel the rental price is very fair. When can I move in?
A: Monday of next week.
B: Perfect.

A: Welcome to Thinking Like Thomas Edison, the top rated television show on new inventions. Today our special guest is Phil Fisher, a university student and inventor of a new shampoo, Grow, which cures baldness. Mr. Fisher, welcome to our show.
B: It is an honor to be here .
A: Mr. Fisher, can you begin by telling us how your new shampoo works.
B: Well, baldness is caused by a hormonal imbalance that occurs when people become older. My shampoo corrects this imbalance.
A: Absolutely astonishing! Did it take a long time to invent this shampoo?
B: It took a year of hard work and research to come up with the formula. But it was well worth it! A: And how much does Grow cost?
B: The same as any normal shampoo.
A: Wow, that’s almost too good to be true! Finally, does using your shampoo have any side effects?
B: Only one: sometimes, it makes people’s hair turn bright green.

A: Tina, this iPhone 4 is the best phone ever. You have got to get one!
B: I am thrilled that you like your new gadget, but I am perfectly happy with my own phone.
A: That’s because you have never tried mine!
B: Alright then, what’s so special about the iPhone 4?
A: To start with, let me ask you a question: how many microphones does your phone have?
B: One.
A: Ah hah! The iPhone 4 has two! This means that my voice always sounds crystal clear and people don’t have trouble understanding what I am saying…Here’s a second question for you: how many cameras does your phone have?
B: One.
A: Oh, what a shame…Mine has two! One on the back that focuses on what I am looking at, and another on the front that focuses on me. During a video call, I can switch back and forth between both cameras whenever I want. This lets the person I am speaking with me see me AND see where I am!
B: Really? That’s so cool! Maybe it’s time for a new phone after all…

Steve: Look at this .I just bought a donut .I'm so sick of the clerk wrapping each pastry individually,then taping the bags shut ,then putting those bags in another bag ,folding it down ,and then taping that bag shut .I can't take it anymore .It's crazy and it's bad for the environment . Trish: How long have you been living here ? Don't you know that's the way it is ?
Steve: I just want them to stick 'em in a napkin for me ,so I can eat while I'm walking to class . Trish: There you go again .Don't you know it's rude to eat while you walk ?
Steve: I'm so tired of this place .I don't have time to sit down and eat . People here are too inflexible ,and they have too many rules .
Trish: Yeah, right, Steve ,so you're gonna convert everybody here to your way of doing things ? Steve: Yeah, there has to be more individual freedom to do whatever you want .
Trish: Why don't you just relax and go with the flow ?
Steve: Go with the flow ? The whole system is a waste of my time .The clerks here should learn how to be more efficient ,like in the U.S .
Trish: What are you talking about ? When I was in the U.S. , the clerks were really rude .They just ignore you ,and seem offended if you want anything .Don't you think it's better this way ? Steve: Are you kidding ?
Trish: Well, I kind of like it .It's nice to relax and enjoy the moment while your packages are being wrapped .I like all of the traditions ,and the care and attention that people give you ,and the manners .To me, it's a wonderful place to live.

Jane: We're both very adventurous .My dad was, like, into motorcycles when he was younger...And he was in one of those , you know, motorcycle clubs .
Nate: You mean, like a motorcycle gang ?
Jane: Yeah... But that was before he was married .I've been riding a motorcycle myself since I was 17.

A: Cindy, are you OK? You look extremely anxious.
B: I am anxious. I am delivering a presentation this afternoon and feel really worried it won’t go well.
A: But you always worry, no matter how well prepared you are!
B: I know, it’s a trait I’ve acquired from my mother. Like her, I am a real worrywart. She’s also a bit pessimistic and always thinks about what can go wrong, not right. I am afraid here too I’m the same way. We always want things to be perfect.
A: So you are both perfectionists?
B: I guess so.
A: You know, Cindy, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, or you’ll never have any fun with anything in life! Your mom is a highly intelligent person and does everything well. So do you. Your presentation will be a success, I’m sure. Just enjoy the moment!
B: I’ll try, but it’s tough –as they say, a tiger cannot change its stripes!
7.
A: What are you doing ?
B: I’m writing a letter.
A: A handwritten letter? What’s wrong with email?
B: It’s to my parents. They are completely computer illiterate!
A: What? They haven’t learned how to use a computer?
B: Nope. They’re very set in their ways: they don’t like change.
A: Come to think of it, my parents are somewhat similar to yours. I mean, they can use a computer and the Internet, but they generally don’t like to make big changes. They’re actually quite conservative.
B: That’s interesting. Can you give me an example?
A: I can give you loads! One would be that my parents still treat me like a child: I’m twenty yet they still give me a curfew and don’t want me to have a girlfriend! They believe I should focus all of my time on my studies.
B: That is conservative thinking! But I guess that’s understandable –that’s probably how they were treated by their parents, so why should they think any differently?
A: Good question.

Kevin: It's kind of isolated.
Cathy: Isolated? What do you mean ?
Kevin: It's off the coast ,and you have to take a boat to get there .This week's program is that you hike and hear lectures and talk about current issues.
Cathy: Where do you stay? Tents?
Kevin: No, it's an old hotel .They have a couple of rules, though .
Cathy: Uh-huh?
Kevin: It says here there's no TV and you can't use any electrical appliances .

Cathy: What? So I won't be able to check my e-mail either?

A: So what are your thoughts on the two applicants?
B: I thought they were both strong. It’s going to be a tough decision.
A: Well, let’s look at their respective pros and cons.
B: Good idea. I feel that Eric, on the plus side, is a good team player and is also capable of being highly self-sufficient. On the downside, he doesn’t seem very motivated.
A:I would agree. Mark, on the other hand, seems very driven and motivated. My main concern is that he may lack self sufficiency as well as initiative and therefore need more
supervision.
B: Who do you think has the best managerial skills?
A: Well, Mark certainly seems like a good organizer and planner, but I think Eric would be better at leading and controlling.
B: I am not so sure I agree that Eric would lead well. As we said, he appears less motivated: it’s hard to motivate and inspire others if you’re not motivated yourself. A: Good point. Let’s sleep on it and we’ll make a decision tomorrow.
6.
A: Eric, how did your interview go?
B: I feel it went smoothly. How about yours?
A: I don’t know. I think I answered a question badly. They asked me to describe my greatest strength and my biggest weakness.
B: They asked me that question too. What did you answer?
A: So then what did you say your biggest weakness is?
B: Honestly, I don’t. You will never get hired because of a weakness, so I believe it’s best to show your qualities only at an interview.
A: I said that my greatest strength is that I am very passionate about everything I do. Then I said my biggest weakness is that I sometimes have trouble solving problems on my own. Do you think that is a good answer?
B: I said that I always want things to be perfect even though I know it’s not always possible.
A: Very clever.

Jean: A witch doctor ?
Chandra: Yeah, well, I guess you could call her a...I don't know ,a spiritual healer .She
was an old woman in our village .And she took a look at me and she said I needed silver.
Jean: Silver?

Jean: I don't believe that.
Chandra: Well, I didn't either for a while .But you know what ? When I was 20 I took it off and I put it in a drawer for a little while .And then, I started to get sick again .And I didn't get better .I was just sick all the time .And then I remembered the necklace ,and I put it on .And after that, I was fine.
Jean: Wow.

A:Jane, I saw Helen yesterday: she just got her bellybutton pierced .
B:Urgh! What did she do that for?
A:To show off her flat stomach of course!
B:She’s mad.
A:Well, at least she doesn’t wear a stud in her nose!
B:That’s true. I wonder why she doesn’t? You’d think she’d prefer showing off her nose to her bellybutton.
A:She says almost all of her friends wear ear studs and earrings. She wants to be different.
B:Well, look at me. I’m her friend, and I often don’t wear jewellery.
A:That’s because you are plain and boring! Ha ha!
B:Well, look at me. I’m her friend, and I often don’t wear jewellery.
A:Suit yourself!
