[ "Good morning, Mister Black.", "Good morning. Could you help me please? I'm looking for some books for my mother.", "OK. What kind of books is she interested in?", "She's very fond of romantic love stories.", "I see. What about this one? Has she read it before?", "I'm not sure. But she probably won't remember the story even if she has. She's very forgetful.", "How old is she?", "She'll be 90 next year.", "No wonder! Remember to renew it if she can't finish reading it within half a month." ]
[ "Is this table on the corner OK?", "Sure, we can sit here.", "Gee, you've hardly got anything on your plate.", "Yeah, I guess I'm just not that hungry.", "What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?", "Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the shop again.", "Really? What's wrong this time?", "I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes I think.", "Well, at least that shouldn't cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?", "He said he would call me later today about the cost.", "Watch out, he doesn't try to take advantage of you.", "What do you mean?", "Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to over charge that person.", "Maybe so, but I trust this man. He has done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be fair.", "Oh. That's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, do you need a ride home after class today?" ]
[ "Would you like some apple juice or orange juice? I made it last night.", "No, thank you. I prefer tea to fruit juice." ]
[ "There is only 20 minutes left. I've got an appointment. I'm meeting a friend in the City of Westminster at 9:00 AM. I hope not to miss it.", "Well, I'm going there, too. I can give you a lift if you like.", "Could you really? That would be kind.", "Where are you meeting your friend?", "Near the park. But if you can drop me at an underground station that will be fine.", "The park's not far out of my way. I'll take you there.", "That's very kind of you." ]
[ "Here we are Friday night, do you want to go dancing?", "Well, not really. I'm kind of tired and hungry, I had a pretty hard week. How about going out to listen to some music?", "How about a little light jazz?", "That sounds nice. How about going to a restaurant with live music?", "Sure, do you have any place in mind?", "What about the club Blue Note?", "I've never heard it. I was thinking of the House of Angels.", "Oh my office manager was there last week. He said both the food and the music were wonderful.", "Really? What kind of food do they serve? Is it expensive?", "Mostly sandwiches and salads and the prices are very good. So do you feel like trying it?", "Yes, absolutely. I'll just get my coat." ]
[ "Wooden Steve supposed to take part in this new drama?", "Yes, but he backed out at the last minute." ]
[ "When is Jason coming?", "Well, he said he'd be here at 7:30. But if you know him, it will be at least 8 o'clock." ]
[ "Welcome back, everyone. Now I'm talking to Nick Parker, the singer with the band, Crispy. Hello, Nick. Welcome to our show.", "Hello.", "Nick, I have one question. Your sister Mel is in the band, too. Isn't she?", "Yeah, we've been playing and singing together since we were young. Dad took us to hear the great bands playing live, Mel and I put on shows at school. But mom didn't want us to get too serious about our music. She thought we should concentrate on our study. However, we were still enthusiastic about our music.", "Then how was your band formed?", "2 musicians from music schools saw us playing in a concert. They asked if we'd like to form a band with them. We agreed to try it out.", "How about the band in the first year?", "To our surprise, the audiences enjoyed our performance in the local concert. Then we recorded 2 songs and sent them to a music company. They asked us to join them, but our parents said we had to finish college first.", "Have you had any disappointments?", "Everything we've recorded has done well. 3 singles have gone to number one and our first album has sold over 1,000,000 copies. We've got thousands of fans. However, I've been ill recently, so we've started recording our second album late, which is a pity." ]
[ "So what are your plans for this summer?", "I could work for that company again, but I have a great chance to do some traveling and learn more about the world. My friend Bill is going to travel around Europe this summer. He has some relatives in France. He wants to visit and he also plans to go to Germany, Lithuania and Latvia. All I need to pay for is my air tickets and meals.", "What about hotels when you're not staying with Bill's relatives?", "We'll stay in guest houses. I have enough money saved from my part time job.", "What about money for next term?", "I'll need to borrow a little from you, but this is a once in a lifetime chance. I really think I could learn a lot and I can improve my French, too." ]
[ "Now we have five-day classes every week, so we have more spare time than before.", "How do you spend your time, Timmy?", "I have interest in playing the violin and I'll continue to practice playing it.", "Do you often take part in a concert?", "Yes, I like to listen to some music. At present, my major objective is to learn from others.", "Do you like classical music or pop?", "I like both. How do you spend your spare time then, Lily?", "Playing the piano is my favorite activity.", "Our hobbies are similar to each other. I hope we can often exchange experience together.", "So do I. But I am weak in the theory of music.", "Me too. Would you like to go with me to visit my uncle? He's a professor of the institute of music." ]
[ "Hey Jack, you really need to start to exercise.", "Yes, I know I'm putting on wait.", "Why did you quit gym anyway?", "Well, my roommate has moved out and I really hate to go to the gym alone." ]
[ "Professor, have you graded my term paper yet?", "To tell you the truth, I've been tide up in committing meetings all week." ]
[ "Hey Linda， did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year?", "Not yet, are there a lot of changes?", "There sure are, instead of paying one feet to cover all meals for the whole school year. We are now able to choose how many meals a week we want, and can contract just for that amount. We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning, but we can choose to buy 7, 10, 14 or 21 meals per week. They give you a card with a number of meals you get each week marked on it.", "That's a big change Tom, and a complicated system.", "Yeah, but it will be much better for people who don't eat 3 meals a day 7 days a week in the cafeteria, because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat.", "So, what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time?", "It better for them, too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is.", "I see, it still sounds rather complicated.", "True, it took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the 10 meal plan.", "Why is that?", "Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends, so the 10 meal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price, and I won't be paying for meals I don't usually eat." ]
[ "Oh, Ann, that was a wonderful dinner. That's the best meal I've ever had.", "Thank you.", "Can I give you a hand with the dishes?", "I'll do them myself later. Would you like some coffee?", "Thanks a lot. I'd love some. Oh, Ann, I didn't realize you were such a good cook.", "It's because I've been taking these courses. Actually, I've just learned how.", "I can't cook at all. I, I can't even boil an egg.", "You're kidding. Well, if you want to, you could take several classes at college and learn how to do it, too.", "Forget it. I was not born for that. Oh, I just remembered, I wonder if I could possibly use your phone.", "I'm sorry, but there's something wrong with my phone. It doesn't work. Is it really important?", "Well, you see, I have to call my secretary about tomorrow's work plan. So I'm afraid I have to go now. Thank you for your dinner." ]
[ "How was your trip to New York?", "It was fun. I took the train there.", "I didn't know that a train went from Los Angeles to New York.", "Well, it doesn't go there directly. First, I took a train North from Southern California to Seattle Washington, then I transferred to another train, this one went across the northern part of the country, from Seattle all the way to Chicago, Illonois.", "How long did that part of the trip take?", "45 hours.", "Then how long did it take to get from Chicago to New York?", "Another 20 hours, this time I had a window seat, and the view was amazing! High stayed up just to look, by the time I arrived in New York. I was exhausted!", "Would you recommend traveling that way?", "I think it's a great way to see the country, trains often travel near the coast or through other beautiful areas. But I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants to save time, the whole trip took more than 3 days." ]
[ "Liberty Park. Good morning, how can I help you?", "I would like to know more about art festival next week. What can I do at the festival?", "Oh, you can do lots of things! You can listen to music, look at paintings by local and international painters, joined the picnic in the park or watch play.", "Wow! What paintings can I see at the festival?", "There are best, local painters are showing their paintings. Two of them are very traditional and like to paint landscapes. The third local painter is a modern artist and her paintings show the world in a different way - the way she sees it. You can also see new and old paintings from France, Japan, Brazil and Norway.", "When is the art exhibition?", "Oh, there are 2 actually. The local painters will show their paintings at 11:00 AM on Saturday and the international exhibition starts at 3:00 PM on Sunday. Would you like to know where it is?", "Yes, please.", "The local exhibition is in Building 4 and the international exhibition is in Building 8." ]
[ "Good morning, I'm Andrew. You seem to be new here. Can I help you?", "Nice to meet you my name is Jenny. Actually, I'm a freshman and I'm looking for the law school." ]
[ "Officer, one of my neighbors has been missing for 3 days.", "Please give me his physical description." ]
[ "We need to have a serious talk.", "About what?", "Your attendance or rather lack of it.", "OK, so I've missed a few classes.", "A few classes? I've been told you've missed 6 out of 8 times in 2 different classes. That's really setting yourself up to fail. You're about to be in big trouble.", "What's the big deal about missing some classes?", "The big deal is that you're here on a student visa.", "So?", "So if you don't attend classes regularly, you won't be a full time student which your visa requires.", "What are you going to do? Turn me into the police?", "Oh, of course I'll have to report you if you continue missing your classes, then I'm afraid you'll have to pack your things." ]
[ "Hello.", "This is Jim Evans from the Market Research Company. May I ask you a few questions?", "Oh, I suppose.", "Do you read any newspapers and if so, which ones?", "I read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.", "About how many hours a week do you read newspapers then?", "Oh, about 2 or 3.", "OK. Now, do you read books regularly and if so, what type?", "Well, novels are my favorite. But to tell you the truth, I haven't read one in quite a while. I'm taking a class at night, so the only books I've been reading lately, our textbooks.", "And how long do you spend a week reading textbooks?", "Not enough. I guess 7 or 8 hours." ]
[ "Only 2 months to go, so what are you going to do after graduating from college?", "My uncle has a company. He'll give me a job. I want to gain some work experience there.", "How long do you plan to work there?", "Just one year. Then I'll look for another job.", "Why won't you just worked for your uncle?", "Because I want to go to London and work there. You know the competition is very fierce there. With some work experience, I can find a job there more easily. So what's your plan?", "I'll find a job in this city and work here for one year. Then I'll go back to college to get my degree in business.", "Are you interested in working for my uncle?", "Thanks. But I've applied for 3 jobs.", "Have you got any replies?", "Yes, 2 of them have offered me a position." ]
[ "A cup of coffee sounds good, doesn't it?", "Yes, but I think I'll have orange juice first.", "Do you feel like having anything to eat?", "Well, I think I'll try the pancakes." ]
[ "I'm not feeling well. I've got a bad cold.", "Have you got a sore throat and a running nose too?", "No, but I've got a headache." ]
[ "Hey, where is everybody?", "They took Ben to the park. Where have you been?", "Sorry, I'm late. I picked up the cake and it took me longer than I expected. When will the party start?", "Ben invited 8 children from school and they'll arrive at about 2:00 in the afternoon.", "Ok then, I'll put the candles on the cake and leave it in the kitchen, and then I'll come and help set the table." ]
[ "I'm sorry for making you wait for so long. Now there is a table available in non smoking section, please follow me." ]
[ "Between the brown and black shirt, I decided on the brown one.", "Sorry, which one?", "The brown one." ]
[ "So what do you suggest?", "Maybe you would like to try our dish of the day, it's made with local vegetables." ]
[ "Could you come to our evening party tomorrow?", "I'd like to, but it's a great pity that I have something more important to do then." ]
[ "What can I do for you?", "I'm here to see Mister Romero.", "Do you have an appointment, sir?", "Yes, my last name is Clark.", "Jordan Clark?", "Yes, that's me.", "Wait, one moment, Mister Clark. I'll just check to make sure Mister Romaero is in his office.", "Perhaps I'll use the restroom while I wait. Is there a men's room nearby?", "Yes, just head back toward the elevators, you'll see one on the right." ]
[ "Something important has just happened at the office, Anna. So I can't meet you for lunch. After all, I'm afraid.", "What is it?", "I have to meet an important buyer at the airport.", "That's really annoying? What about the play tonight? You promise to go with me. I already have my mother take care of our kids.", "Yes, darling, I promised, but I'm afraid we'll have to cancel it.", "What about Thursday. Could we go then?", "I think all the seats will be booked up. And anyway, I'm afraid I won't have time next week.", "I've telephoned the theater. The seats aren't all booked up in fact.", "Well, as I've just said, I am booked up." ]
[ "Is it OK if I pay for this book by visa? I haven't got much cash on me.", "We can't really take cards for amounts under 5 pounds. That one's only 3.99 pounds, isn't it?" ]
[ "Hi Sandra.", "Hi.", "Are you working on something?", "Yeah, I'm preparing a presentation for my history class." ]
[ "Dinner is ready.", "I'm coming. Wow, so much food! why so much food?", "It's your birthday today, remember?", "Oh, I forgot it." ]
[ "Have you found any pairs of shoes that fit?", "Well, I like the black pair, but my heels kept slipping out of them. The second pair was comfortable, but the color didn't look good at all. And this pair is a little tight in the front." ]
[ "I want to sell this old refrigerator. How much do you think I can get for it? I bought it for $800 five years ago. It works really well except for the broken shelf." ]
[ "Good afternoon, I'm Robert Anderson. I have an appointment with Mrs. Brown. Is she in?", "Yes, she is. She is waiting for you in her office. Please, come in." ]
[ "Why do you know so many things about foreign countries, Mr Hopkins?", "Because I work in a great ship. And I travel all over the world under the leadership of our captain." ]
[ "Hello, my name is Peter Jones. I'm your new neighbor. I just moved in next door.", "Oh, nice to meet you. My name is Miss James. I hope you enjoy living here.", "I hope so, too. You know when we were considering whether to buy the house, Mr. Johnson, the housing agent told us that jogging was very popular here. I am a big fan of jogging. I used to go jogging every day in my old neighborhood.", "Aah, yes. Many people here love to jog. I go jogging twice a week.", "Can you tell me a good place to go jogging near here?", "Sure, the long coast path along the beach is a perfect place for jogging.", "Coast path. Sounds nice. Is it far from here? Can I walk there?", "Yes, it's only a 5 minute ride from here.", "Oh, I see. Anything in particular I should know about jogging there?", "Emm, yeah, just be sure to wear sunglasses there. The sunlight there is very bright and it can be hurt on your eyes.", "Thanks for the advice. So are there any other activities to do there on the beach?", "Oh, yes, beach volleyball is also very popular. A lot of people play there on the beach." ]
[ "May I speak to Mr Brown please?", "Oh, sorry. He isn't in at the moment.", "When will he be back then?", "Sorry, I don't know. Can I take a message?", "Certainly." ]

[ "Most of the world's rainforests are in danger. They are disappearing at a high rate.", "Yeah, many plants and animals exist only in rainforests." ]
[ "Do you often eat out at restaurants?", "No. I enjoy cooking at home. What about you?", "I eat at restaurants pretty often. I'd rather cook and eat at home, too. But my work keeps me busy all the time." ]
[ "If you want to get the washing machine fixed in time, you'd better get a mechanic to do the job rather than do it by yourself.", "You have a point, but you know I'll have to wait for a long time to get a mechanic." ]
[ "You look down, what's the matter?", "Can you believe that? It's sunny right now, but the weather report says there will be rain this afternoon. I can't go for a picnic this afternoon." ]
[ "I've been wondering what sort of clothes we're going to need for our visit. What's the weather like in your country in May?", "It's not very pleasant, and generally there are more rainy days in May than in any other month, but at least it isn't cold there, then." ]
[ "Let's call and order pizza for dinner.", "The telephone isn't working, and the Internet is down. So I guess we have to cook dinner." ]
[ "May I drive the car this time, Bill?", "OK, I know you're a good driver, but be careful.", "Thank you Bill. Where exactly are we going now?", "I am not sure. Maybe we're heading for a small town to have a stop there. What do you think about, Laura?", "Shall we go down the valley to find a nice place for a camp? It will just take a short time to the valley.", "Good idea, and we can also have a delicious meal and a bush-walk there." ]
[ "Jim, why were you late for school this morning?", "I'm sorry, Mrs Brown.", "Did you get up late?", "No. I got up at 7:00 o'clock as usual this morning.

[ "Where do you want to go, Madam?", "The Hilton Hotel, please? Uh, it's cold, huh? I'm freezing.", "Come on, San Francisco's usually cold in winter, you know? It's often very rainy, which makes the weather colder.", "Well, it gets very hot in summer, doesn't it?", "Not really, it gets warm in July and August. That's the best time to visit the city. Ah-oh, here comes the rain." ]
[ "I hate my job. I want to work somewhere where I don't have to wait tables and deal with people everyday.", "Yeah, get out of customer service. You should be an accountant or work online from home." ]
[ "Have you found any pairs of shoes that fit?", "Well, I like the black pair, but my heels kept slipping out of them. The second pair was comfortable, but the color didn't look good at all, and this pair is a little tight in the front..." ]
[ "Alice, you are calling all the morning.", "Because I have a wonderful idea.", "You want to hold a grand party and you're inviting friends?", "No, I want to buy a diamond necklace. But it's too expensive.", "I don't know your meaning.", "It's $12,000 and it's really lovely.", "You want to borrow money from your friends.", "No. I want to buy it with other friends.", "Good idea. Then you can wear it by turns.", "Yeah, and we are all the owners of the necklace.", "Good idea, but not all accepted.", "Right, but 8 girlfriends have agreed to do so.", "How many people would you like to find at last?", "12 including me. We each pay $1000.", "You can wear a month in a year, if you buy it." ]

[ "Do you like being a flight attendant?", "Actually, I do. I love it and I meet lots of interesting passengers. The only thing I don't like is staying at the hotel all the time. I miss home cooking." ]
[ "Hello there. I'm Paul Daddy Lee. And there is fun time. I'm very happy to welcome actress Gemma Louis today.", "Thank you.", "Actually, shouldn't I call you a film star rather than an actress? After all, you've been world famous since making the film Starshine 2 years ago, haven't you?", "Well. Yes, I suppose. I enjoyed making that film, but I really want to be a stage actress.", "It was quite a surprise to get the lead in Starshine, wasn't it?", "Yes. I got the part in spite of having no film experience.", "How was that?", "I was at a theater school. The director chose me to play the part after visiting several schools. I had a long talk with my parents before I accepted it. In the end, I went for it.", "But you didn't make anymore films after finishing Starshine. Why is that? You must have had plenty of offers.", "Yes, I did. But working far from home, I sometimes felt very lonely. So I came back to England.", "So no more films?", "Oh, I don't know. I'd be happy to do another film, but I'm booked up for the next few months.", "Now, what about the play you're appearing in at the moment?", "It's great. It's actually a comedy called Dark Days." ]
[ "How much are the tickets?", "They 15 pounds each. But student tickets are half price.", "Could I have two student tickets, please?" ]
[ "I'm going to wear my red dress to the interview.", "Oh, no. Red's much too bright. I think you should wear your blue one and the great jacket." ]
[ "Veronique, when you are not studying, what do you like to do?", "I like listening to music by French singers. Go into any French music store and you'll find the Top 10 albums by US, German and English artists. It's good to have variety, but I love French music.", "Do French teens like fast food, you know, hamburgers, chips and things like those?", "Well, we don't really like that. We usually have quick breakfast, sandwiches at lunch and a family dinner at around 8:00 to 8:30 in the evening. The younger teenagers like to eat hamburgers at McDonald's.", "Paris is well known for popular clothes, so I'm sure it offers French teens the most up-to-date clothes to choose from.", "Exactly. I like to wear clothes by Agnes B, a popular French designer. I think Agnes B clothes are kind of classic, but they can also be very lovely. One of my favorites is a silver jacket, because it came from one of the shows and most importantly, there is no other like it." ]
[ "I was thinking of starting my own business. I know you wanted me to take over your restaurant business but I can't stand working in the food industry.", "OK, but what do you really want to do?", "I want to sell skateboards, clothing and shoes.", "You want to run a clothing shop?", "No, it's actually a skateboarding shop.", "What would make your shop different from all the others?", "I thought we could make our own T-shirts. Maybe you and dad could lend me some money first." ]
[ "There is a really good art competition in teens news.", "Isn't that the one that's on every year? You have to paint a picture of your family or your friends.", "This year it's a picture of the countryside.", "Can I enter then?", "Neither of us can. You're too old at 16.", "Isn't your younger sister good at art?", "Yes, she might like to enter.", "What does she draw with?", "Colored pencils mostly and sometimes oil paints. She hates using watercolors though.", "Look here, she won't be able to use oils in this competition.", "That's OK. She prefers colored pencils anyway.", "Oh, look at this. They're giving away some great prizes, a computer, a television and a camera among other things.", "Who gets the computer then? The winner?", "No, the computer and camera are the second prize. Strange! I thought the computer would be the best prize.", "Yes, but look at the size of this screen, 60 inches. That's much better than a computer." ]
[ "Diana, can you give me a hand? I'm supposed to place all these new products in the display case, but they'll never fit.", "Yeah, I see what you mean. But did Miss Harper mean to put them all on display, or just one of each as a sample for the customers to see?", "Oh, I get it! So maybe I should just select a single example of each model instead of one of each color for each model.", "Check with Miss Harper first. But in my opinion, that's the only way you'll be able to do it." ]
[ "I can come to your house and pick you up in half an hour, is that alright?", "Sure, that means you will be here at 8:30." ]
[ "My jewelry store needs a new website. The One I have now is so out of date. I bet I'm losing customers because of that.", "I have been designing websites for 3 years. Just give me a week and I'll create an amazing site that will impress both you and your customers." ]
[ "How often should I take the pills, and how many should I take, doctor?", "Take 3 pills after lunch and before you go to bed in the evening." ]
[ "Ah, I'm all wet. Should have brought my umbrella.", "Yeah, the weather forecast was a total joke. It said it would be warm and sunny." ]
[ "Can I go out with friends dad?", "Yes, Carol, but you can't go out in those clothes. It's freezing today.", "Ok, dad. I'll wear something warmer" ]
[ "Oh, no! Where's Little Freddie?", "Johnny forgot to feed him while we were at work. I think he chewed a hole through his box and ran around.", "Don't tell the landlord we've got a mouse in our apartment! Let's catch him now." ]
[ "Steven, do you have any friend in London?", "Yes, my old friend, Hanson, lives there working as a lawyer.", "Are you close?", "Yes, he's one of my best friends. Our friendship formed at college when we were volunteers at a club. Why did you ask that?", "I'm going to London on business next week, but I know nothing about it." ]
[ "Do you have any English dictionaries?", "Yes, just over there. Only 2 copies are left.", "I'd like to see some English textbooks, too. Do you have any?", "Yes, they are at a discount." ]
[ "Miss, what time is flight 452 for Boston due to departure?", "It leaves at 4:50, but you check in one hour ahead of the departure time." ]
[ "Hi, Victor. Can we have a talk today?", "I'd love to, but I've got a pretty tight schedule today. I'll finish a report by 10:00 and then drive to the airport to pick up an engineer at 11:00. After that, I'll have a meeting with him over lunch. I won't have a break until 2 o'clock. But then from 3:00 until 5:00, I have to attend a senior staff meeting." ]
[ "Hello, mom.", "Hello, Dan. Have you arrived in your office?", "Yes, I have.", "Are your shoes totally wet? The rain was so heavy when you went out for work.", "Yes, but don't worry about it. I have bought a new pair of socks. They make me feel better.", "I think you need a pair of rain shoes. I know your size is 41. But what color do you like?", "Well, black is my favorite.", "But there is no black rain shoes left. How about the gray ones?", "That's alright. Mom, thank you so much. Anyway, you need to go back home now. It's going to snow according to the weather forecast. I know your legs feel painful in the wet weather. Take care of yourself." ]
[ "Good afternoon, madam, what can I do for you?", "Thank you. I bought this tablet computer here yesterday, and it doesn't seem to work." ]
[ "Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too?", "Sure, it's a new find by American researchers and reported in Russia on Tuesday." ]
[ "Would you like me to drive you to the downtown?", "No, thanks. I'll take this subway. But could you pick me up early in the evening?" ]
[ "Looking for jeans. Ours slim styles are our tightest, we also have straight which are a little looser around the ankles.", "I think I'm wearing a boot style now, but they're too loose in the legs. I also have a very small waist." ]

My husband wants it for the soup he likes to make.", "That costs $4.00 a pound.", "Oh, that's expensive. I think he can make the soup with 2 pounds of chicken. I'll make some salad tonight. So we won't need so much food." ]

I took her to the doctor and he said she was healthy.", "Yes, it's normal for babies to cry. You should hire a babysitter this weekend and sleep." ]

Do you have much cash in it.", "Not much, but I have several cards in it.", "That's bad, do you need to borrow some money?", "No, thanks.

I'm excited to see this lake. The guidebook says it changes color throughout the year.", "That's true, in the fall and winter, it's skyblue because of the light reflecting off tiny pieces of ice in the lake. At this time of year. It turns green because of the plants that grow under the water." ]
[ "Do you have money with you? I've run out of mine.", "How much do you need?", "About $9. Oh, no, 7 will be OK." ]
[ "Can I have one of those phone cards behind you as well, please?", "Sure, but I need to see your ID for the beer.", "What? Ha ha, young man, I'm probably 20 years older than you. You know what? You just made my day. This is the best thing that has happened to me this week." ]

They suggested that we take some warm clothes.", "Did you ask how the hotels were?", "It seems they're excellent and not expensive.", "Yeah, that's what I've heard. Did they say if they had any language problem?", "Sometimes. They told me that hardly anybody speaks English, except the people on the hotels. But the staff of the hotels are helpful and friendly.", "Well, that's good. And did they buy much while they were there?", "No, they advised us not to buy clothes. They're much more expensive than in the states. But they told me you could get gold jewelry for very little." ]
