[ "I don't think we can find a better hotel around here at this time.", "Let's walk a little further to see if there is another one. I just can't bear the traffic noise here." ]
[ "Hong, it seems like you really struggle to learn English, is this level too hard for you?", "I don't know. I think it's just boring. I don't like the workbooks because the lessons talk about baby things. I'm not a little child. I want to learn something more exciting.", "Hmm, I have an idea that you'll like. This week, you can do a special project for class.", "Oh, what's that?", "I want you to watch some YouTube videos of people speaking in different English accents. I'll send you the links for the ones you should watch, they're very funny. One person does about 30 different accents in 10 minutes.", "Wow, that's great, but, won't it be harder for me to learn English if I'm listening to so many different ways of speaking the language?", "It shouldn't, this is just a fun project to help you get more interested in the lessons. There is a more serious side to it, though. I want you to write a one page essay about the videos and tell the class about your project on Friday. You can show some of the videos during your presentation too if you like. I think the whole class will benefit from this.", "I can't wait to get started. Thank you, Miss Winters." ]
[ "Sorry, Kate. We can't eat out, I'm broke now.", "Don't worry John. Tom has promised to treat us." ]

[ "Can you fix the time for the next meeting, Alex? How about June twelfth that's after the trade exhibition?", "I thought something was happening on that day, Rebecca.", "Oh, yes. You're right. The people from head office are coming.", "What time does the airplane arrive? Can we have the meeting in the morning?", "No, it's all arranged. I'm meeting them at 10:30, so I won't be available at all that day.", "Well, let's have the meeting earlier in June then. The trade exhibition finishes on the third, doesn't it?", "Yes, but we need John's sales report for the meeting. How is it going?", "I'm afraid John hasn't started yet. The figures won't be in place till next week.", "Will it be ready early in June?", "Well, not really. He told me that he will finish them by June tenth.", "So we're looking at the week starting the seventeenth. How about 2 o'clock on that day?" ]
[ "May I take a picture of you and your little boy?", "What is it for?", "It's for a picture book.", "OK." ]
[ "Anna, when did the Smiths ask us to get to their house?", "By 7:30 PM. There were just 30 minutes to go. Are you ready to go now?", "Not yet. Do you know where my blue shirt is? I don't want to go with this brown one.", "It's right there in the cupboard with your other shirts. Why isn't Sarah here yet? She said she'd be here by 7:00 PM. Without her taking care of the kids, we can't go to the Smiths tonight.", "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be here any minute now. It takes us just about 20 minutes to get there. We won't be late as long as we leave by 7:10 PM." ]
[ "At which stop will we get off?", "We still have 3 more stops to go." ]
[ "Mary, would you help me type this work plan? I'm too busy to do it myself.", "OK but why don't you hire a secretary?" ]
[ "Our luggage hasn't arrived.", "Are you with Sunny Times Tours?", "Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Cameron.", "And which flat were you on, Mrs. Cameron?", "The fast jet flight from Manchester to Berlin. I think it's FJ2498.", "It seems some bags have gone to another airport." ]
[ "I've been invited to the party at Alice's house. What should I bring?", "You could pick up a cake. Chocolate cake is her favorite." ]

[ "You only have an hour for lunch?", "No, now I only have 45 minutes.", "That's not enough. Where are we going?", "We can go to a place near the mall.", "Oh, alright, let's go across the street. We can eat at Tony's Italian restaurant. I love their pizza.", "I love their food, too. But they are really slow. Last week I waited 30 minutes for my food.", "OK. Let's have sushi at Dave's.

He's booked flight number BA 1279 to Sydney on Monday.", "Um, I will make sure he gets your message." ]
[ "Excuse me?", "Yes.", "Is there a lady's room around here?", "There is, but unlucky for you. It has a big out of use sign on it." ]
[ "What a nice day! When I got off the plane this afternoon, I could feel that the air here is very fresh.", "Yes, it rained yesterday, but it clears up today. The weather is welcoming you." ]
[ "Kate has won the game. Shouldn't she feel excited now?", "Her father became severely sick yesterday." ]
[ "Hurry up, Jack! It's going to be late.", "I'm coming now.", "Don't forget your name card and umbrella. It's going to rain.", "It's only cloudy outside and it will turn sunny later in the afternoon. So it was yesterday.", "I know, but look at the dark clouds.", "All right, but I will take a rain coat rather than the umbrella. It broke.", "Oh, I'll have it repaired.", "I'm off to school. Bye, Mom." ]
[ "Hi Lucy, what's your favorite TV program?", "I like sports programs best, especially tennis. I really prefer playing to watching.", "What about your best friend Rosie?

[ "Look, Jack has got the ball! He's going like lightning towards Oxford's goal! Oh, go on Jack!", "That Oxford center halfback is trying to stop him." ]
[ "Do you know that the price of meat has gone up?", "Yes, I do. That's why I buy some fish here. This shop usually sells high quality goods at a lower price.", "Really? It's my first time to come here. I just want to buy some pork.", "I like pork, too. If you like beef, you can come tomorrow morning.", "My wife's fond of pork very much. But my 2 children and I like beef better and my wife seldom eats it.", "In fact, eating chicken and fish is good for health and cannot make you fat.", "Yes, my daughter likes chicken and she wishes to keep her figure. My son likes fried fish.", "Fried food is not so good, is it?", "Surely. No wonder my 7 year old son is fatter than my 11 year old daughter." ]
[ "Have you seen Dan the Bear?", "No, I haven't.", "Oh, well, he supposed to give his performance in 10 minutes. All the kids are waiting for him to sing.", "Maybe he's out by the fish tank, giving away balloons and talking with the dolphin trainers. Did you check there?", "Yes, I did, but they said they hadn't seen him. If you see him, please tell him that he's needed on the small stage as soon as possible.", "OK. I'll send a radio message out to all of the security officers and have them look for him. I'm sure he's on his way right now.", "Great. Thank you so much for your help. Will I see you at the bar after work tonight?", "Yes, but a bit later. I want to get a haircut and change clothes first.", "Great. I'll buy you a drink if you can get Dan the Bear on stage on time." ]
[ "Lucy, I've been looking for you, where have you been?", "I went to help watch my sisters 3 daughters.", "That must have been hard to deal with.", "That's what I'd expected, but it turned out that we had a great time together." ]
[ "Morning, Mr. Johnson. Do you need some more medication?", "No, my leg is feeling fine actually. But this bed is really uncomfortable.", "You told me that you'd like to be able to move and control it yourself.", "That's true. But I don't know how to use it. This controller is huge and there are too many buttons.", "Yeah, it can be pretty confusing. See these buttons at the top here. They control the part of the bed near your back. So you can either sit up or lie down." ]
[ "I wonder if you could get my bike repaired.", "Sure, but it will take some time.", "How long will it take?", "A week or so?" ]
[ "May I have the key to room 1304?", "Your name, please.", "Tim Smith.", "Yes, here you are， Mr. Smith." ]
[ "Hey, Tim. My uncle died last weekend. His funeral is on Thursday. So I can't work. Can you work for me tomorrow?", "Sorry, Jenny. But I have a soccer game on Thursday. You should ask Melinda to take your shift. I think she got back from vacation yesterday." ]
[ "I wanted to read this novel tonight, but there's a free movie night in the student center.", "That's funny. I wanted a quiet night into, but there is a free dinner for foreign students in the cafeteria." ]
[ "Hello, Ann.", "Oh, hello. Come on in. Let me take your coat. You managed to find us then.", "Well, I got a bit lost coming off the ring road. Sorry I'm a bit late.", "Oh, don't worry. The dinner hasn't been ready yet. Martin is still in the kitchen.", "So he is cooking, isn't he?", "He is quite an expert in the kitchen. Fortunately for me, I can't boil an egg myself.", "Oh, I brought you this. I wasn't sure what you liked. But obviously, it's meant to be quite a good year.", "Oh, thanks. Lovely." ]
[ "Hey Joe, is there anything to eat? I'm starving.", "No, I thought there was a frozen pizza but it's gone. Um, Meg, why don't we get take out?", "Oh oK. Why don't we get Chinese food wongs quick?", "OK. Where is the?", "Oh it's on the notice board in the kitchen.", "Oh here it is. OK, what do you feel like having?", "I like the lemon chicken.", "Lemon chicken, OK, and the sweet and sour pork is always good, isn't it? What about some rice?", "Yeah, 2 orders of steamed rice and how about some vegetables.", "I don't care, fine. One serving of stir fried vegetables. Anything else?" ]
[ "Excuse me, but do you know when the next train for Philadelphia leaves?", "Sorry, I don't know, but there are schedules beside the ticket window." ]
[ "Isn't our appointment at 8:30?", "Yes, it is. But I'm afraid I will have to be 15 minutes late." ]
[ "Which TV channel do you like best?", "Sports channel is my favorite. You can't imagine there are so many exciting sports." ]

Maybe you'll have time for some traveling now.", "Maybe, but I think I'll stay at home this weekend.", "Oh, well, why don't you come to my house? My family is coming over. We're having a barbeque in the back garden.", "Thanks. But it's with your families, so you probably don't want other people there.", "No, really. Don't worry, because I'm inviting a few people from my class as well. I'd really like you to come.", "That would be great. Is it a special family gathering?", "Well, my oldest sister has a new baby girl. So it's a bit of a celebration for that." ]
[ "Could you give me a hand moving this cupboard, please?", "I'm sorry, it looks a bit heavy to me. Jim is next door. Why don't you ask him?", "Good idea." ]
[ "I hear you're going home. Is it true?", "Yes, my mother is very ill. I wanted to leave on Thursday. But I couldn't get a ticket. I bought a ticket for Friday. I'll try to get back before Sunday night." ]
[ "Sam, where's the closest ATM?", "It's not that far. Do you see that yellow building over there? It's next to it, on the right.", "Oh, I see. Do you know if there's a convenient store around here?", "Well, you could go down to twenty second street. There are a lot of stores down there that are open 24 hours a day.", "Can I take the subway to get there?", "Yes, but that will probably take about half an hour. You should just take a taix.", "Won't that be expensive?", "No. From here I think it's only about $5.", "OK, I will go there by taix." ]
[ "Oh, hey. I'm off on Friday, so we can leave early for the cabin.", "A bad news, uh, I checked the weather up there. It looks like rain for this weekend." ]

The opposite world of ours. There are monsters and spiders action and even comedy. The coolest part is that most of the actors are kids our age, you should check it out." ]
[ "Hi Robert, this is Ana.", "What's up?", "Well, actually would you mind lending me your Camera for a few days? I want to take some photos of my new apartment to send to my parents." ]
[ "Hey, Susie. What are you doing?", "Hi, Tommy. I'm making a list for our club. We are raising money for the children's home. They need a new kitchen.", "You'll need a lot of money for that. How are you raising money?", "Last month, we sold homemade cookies. We had a yard sale last week as well. We've gotten some donations too, but we need more. Any good ideas?", "I think you should have a car wash. I'm sure you'll raise a lot of money." ]
[ "Can you help me find some books? I need them for my class. I'm writing a report about US history.", "Of course. Do you know how to use our computers? Our entire book collection is on our website. You can look up the books you need, then I'll walk you over to their location in the main building.", "Thank you, but I'm not sure which books to look up on the computer. My topic is very general. How can I search for a few books on a topic instead of one specific book?", "I'll show you. Type your topic into the search box on the screen and a list of books will come up. Then pick the few books that you want and will look for them on the bookshelves.", "Thank you.", "Remember, you can only check out up to three books at a time." ]
[ "Good morning, Miss Gray, could I talk with you for a moment?", "Yes, Tom, come in. What's the matter?", "I want to change my deskmate.", "Why? Don't you get on quite well with Lisa these days?", "Yes, but actually it is she who wanted to change the deskmate. She said she didn't want to be my friend anymore.", "Oh, why? Can you tell me the reason?", "Yesterday, she wanted to borrow a pen from me, but accidentally I didn't have an extra 1 to lend her, so she got angry with me and didn't want to be my deskmate anymore.", "OK, Tom, it is not so serious actually. Later I will talk with Lisa. I'm sure she will understand you. Now it is time for the math class. Let's go. Oh, by the way, can you help Miss Cook hand out the grated English homework?" ]
[ "We should discuss our plans for the art exhibition. I have tickets, but since it starts so soon after work, getting there might be a problem, should we take a taxi or a bus there.", "No, we might be late if we run into traffic. Let's just take the subway." ]
[ "Your bedrooms looking quite good now, Sam. I'm glad we were able to buy that carpet in the sales. It looks perfect on your floor.", "Yeah, I'm not sure the lamp is right from my desk, though. It's too big, could we see if there's anything I like better when we next go shopping?", "Well, we can have a look when we go to the city center tomorrow. I still need a new blanket for your sister's bed.", "OK, good idea." ]
[ "I was wondering whether you needed any part timers.", "What were you thinking of?", "Any kind of hotel job.", "Have you ever done anything like this before?", "No, not yet." ]
[ "Have you chosen the music for the party yet?", "I was going to just let people bring their own.", "Oh, I don't think you should do that. One person needs to be in charge. Otherwise, people will start disagreeing. Sony's really good at music. You could ask her.", "OK. Have you got her number?", "Yeah, it's on my mobile. I'll text it to you." ]
[ "What are you doing this weekend?", "We're going to the Sports Center to workout.", "You do that every weekend, don't you?", "Usually. We work all weekdays and workout on weekends." ]

She had a little accident last week in her new car.", "Oh, you're kidding. Was anybody hurt? Was there much damage?", "No, it was really a small accident and everybody was fine. It was the other driver's fault.", "Well. That's good. Other than that, how's she doing? Is she still going out with Graham?", "Haven't you heard yet? They're getting married.", "You are kidding.", "She said he gave her a ring on her birthday.", "That's great." ]
[ "Are you going to leave? It's already 7:30.", "No. I am going to wait another 20 minutes." ]
[ "Hello, Mr.Hudson. This is Rose speaking. I'm calling to see if I can give you my research report this afternoon. It's due today.", "Certainly. You can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office.", "Would it be alright for me to come by your office at 5:00 o'clock? I couldn't possibly arrive any earlier because I have a dance class and two language classes this afternoon.", "Well, I'm supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00 this afternoon. Why not leave it with my secretary? She stays until 5:30." ]
[ "How much money will I have to spend to rent an apartment in America? I'll only have $500 a month.", "Your rent should be about 1/4 of that." ]
[ "Can I help you?", "Yes, I bought this book here yesterday, but when I took it to school I noticed this page was missing." ]
[ "The forecast says there will be a severe winter, are you prepared?", "Hardly. I'm waiting for the next sale to get a down jacket." ]
[ "I have heard that you live in the city for many years. Have you ever been to the countryside?", "Last summer, my parents and I went to the countryside to visit my grandmother.", "Do you like the country life?", "Yes, there is fresh air and lots of green fields." ]
[ "OK, the books are free, but the DVD costs $1 to borrow.", "That's fine. When do I have to return the books and the DVD?", "The books are due back next Monday. The DVD must be returned in 3 days.", "So the books must be returned in 6 days and the DVD in 3 days?", "Usually it's 5 days for the books, but because Sunday is a holiday. We changed the return date to Monday.", "OK. That means I can spend one extra day reading. I won't have to rush through then, like I normally do." ]
[ "Are you coming to watch me play baseball today? The game is at 4:00.", "Sure, I'd love to see it. The last time I saw you play you did a great job." ]
[ "Lisa, shall we go to the library after class? I want to borrow some reference books for my term paper.", "OK, Sam. The library is a good place to study and I can also read my favorite magazines." ]
[ "I really look forward to the football game next Tuesday.", "It's a pity that I can't go with you. I can't ask for leave that day, my boss wants me to accompany him to the factory." ]
[ "If I were 10 years younger, I would have got the job.", "Right. They think young girls can do the job better." ]
[ "Have you finished your term paper? I handed mine in last week.", "I finished typing mine at 2:00 o'clock this morning. I have to submit it by noon today." ]
[ "Hi Jenny, I'm calling to ask you if you want to go to the park with us tomorrow.", "I'd like to but I cannot. I'm leaving for New York tomorrow.", "Are you going there to see a friend?", "No, I'm going there for work.", "Will you go by train or plane?", "Neither. David is driving to New York tomorrow. He'll give me a lift.", "That will be a long trip.", "Yes, but Lisa will go with us too. We can talk and listen to music on the way.", "How long are you staying for?", "Just 5 days. Oh, I have to pack now. I'll call you when I come back.", "OK. Bye." ]
[ "What do you think of the modern art exhibition?", "It was too difficult for me to understand, but my wife enjoyed every minute of it." ]

[ "I hear you're going to drive to Shanghai this weekend.", "Oh, I've changed my mind.", "What?", "I think flying will be more comfortable." ]
[ "Is this seat taken?", "I don't think so. The lady who was here finished her lunch and left just now." ]
[ "What happened to you? You are so late.", "That bus I took broke down in front of the hospital, and I had to walk from there." ]
[ "Why don't you have some of my cake Sue? I made it just for this party.", "Sorry Bill, I'm not into cakes at the moment. I thought you knew about my diet.", "On your birthday? Surely you can eat whatever you want on your birthday, you can start your diet tomorrow. And anyway, you look great.", "Well, thanks Bill, I am not on a diet to lose weight, actually. My doctor told me to stop eating certain foods. I'm trying to avoid being allergic to something.", "I didn't know food could help with that. I also noticed you didn't eat any of the sandwiches Jill brought.", "Yeah, and you and Tom and Sharon all brought different cakes. I'm dying to try them.", "Why don't I go get you a salad? I'm sure you'll feel better if you eat something?", "All right, it's the only thing here I can eat what I really wanted some hot soup.", "Why don't I go and get some soup from the restaurant across the street for you?", "That's awfully nice of you, but I'm enjoying my party, maybe we could go afterwards.", "Ok, you go back in the house and chat with the guests. And I'll call the restaurant and tell them will be there in a few hours." ]
[ "I just called the airport. Our flight has been delayed for 3 hours.", "What? That's terrible. We just checked out of the hotel. Now what are we supposed to do?", "Well, the woman at the airport said that all flights are delayed due to heavy fog. They expect the fog to lift by noon time because they'll be some wind then.", "In that case, why don't we just have a relaxing breakfast here in the hotel restaurant? Then we'll catch a taxi to the airport around 11:00." ]
[ "Ted, do you often play basketball in your spare time?", "I used to, but now I often play table tennis. What about you, Mary?", "I like playing tennis with my friends." ]
[ "Hey, Tina! How's the Spanish course going?", "Tough. Our teacher is using a lot of authentic material. You know, stuff off the radio and TV, he even tapes conversations with his friends and uses them in class.", "So what are some of the things that make it difficult?", "Well, the speed for a start.", "What do you mean?", "You know, they just talk so fast. I can't understand every word.", "Maybe you shouldn't try?", "What do you mean?", "Well, maybe you should just listen to the keywords. You know, the most important words." ]
[ "I made us a dinner reservation for 9:00 pm tomorrow evening. It's late. But the restaurant doesn't close until 11:00 pm.", "OK, sounds good. I might be a little late. But I should arrive no later than 9:30.", "OK." ]
[ "How do you usually go to work? By bus or by underground?", "Neither, I usually walk to the company. But today I took a taxi here because I got up late." ]
[ "Hi, what's up with you?", "Fine.", "What did you do today?", "I stayed at home for a whole day.", "Really? No good weather outside? What's the time now there?", "It's 10:00 pm. It rained for almost 2 weeks. The weather today is terrible, too.", "Oh. It's just before 9:00 am here and it's snowing outside. Have you received my gift?", "Yes, thank you. I really enjoyed the pictures you sent me.", "I am glad you like them. They were taken in Orange Park last month. It is a wonderful place and worth a visit. There are many kinds of stones and the ticket to it is free." ]
[ "Do you think you could give me a ride to the library tonight?", "I'd like to, but I'm heading in the other direction. I'm meeting Jean tonight." ]
[ "I hope you'll have a nice holiday with lots of sun!", "Thanks. But I hear over the radio that the weather isn't good.", "Is it going to rain?", "It's worse than that. It's going to snow!" ]
[ "Is that 3467912? I'm trying to speak to the guest in room 405.", "I'm sorry, you must have the wrong number. This is room 406. You can try 3467913. Oh no, 11." ]
[ "Alright, Sara, we know that you're planning something big for John's birthday. Could you tell us just what you have in your mind?", "I wanted to make his birthday a very special event.

I kind of guessed you had some secret plan and we're waiting for the right time to tell me." ]

After I finished it, I realized I really loved writing.", "So what was your first book about?", "It's about a man in a cat's body. Kids loved it after it came out.", "Are all your books for kids?", "By far, yes. But I'm planning on a book for adults." ]

Name, home address, today's date thirteenth and your signature?", "Ok, here you are.", "Ok, please phone or come down to reception if you need anything. Breakfast is served from 7:00 to 9:30 in the Green Hall, and check out time is 11:00 o'clock.", "Thank you, would it be possible to have a newspaper sent to my room?", "Yes, certainly, which newspaper would you like?", "The Times, please." ]
[ "Talking about the future. I think there will be huge changes in the way people use cars. Laws will be made about what kind of car you can own and when you can use it.", "Maybe they'll just be too many of them on the roads. The air will be so seriously polluted that nobody will be able to breathe normally.", "Exactly. People will have to rely on trains.", "Why do you say that?", "Well, we won't be able to use cars and the airports take too much space. That leaves trains.", "Huh, so do you think they'll be better trained systems between cities?", "Sure, they'll enable people to travel between cities in a matter of hours. There may even be trains going under the oceans to connect the main continents.", "Under the oceans? I get nervous enough flying on a plane." ]
[ "So, Tom. What do you do in your free time?", "Well, I love sports. Umm, hockey, baseball and skiing are my favourites.", "Wow, you're really good athlete.", "No, no I'm not, I don't play those sports. I just watch them on TV." ]
[ "OK, tell me about yourself.", "Well, last year in school I played on the football team. It kept me busy but I learned to manage my time. And also it has been a great experience in learning how to work on the team with other players.", "How would your teachers describe you?", "My teachers would say I work hard to get my homework done on time and I'm not afraid to ask for help if I need it. They'd also tell you I am friendly to my classmates.", "Well, why should I hire you over the other 8 students?", "I think I am the very person you can rely on. I'll arrive to work on time and do the best I can on the job. Besides I've done volunteer work and now I'd like the gain actual work experience.
