May: Hey, This is your order.
Customer: Are you new here? I come to this coffeehouse often. But I didn't see you here before.
May: Yes. I started this part-time job just three days ago. And my internship1 will last 1 week. I'm still a student now.
Customer: Do you mind if I ask you why you've taken the part-time job here?
May: Of course not. You know, there are many foreign customers like you here. And I think it's good for me to improve my oral English.
Customer: Oh, are you an English student? Or you just study English for interest's sake?
May: No, I'm not an English student. But I do like English. I'm going to be a volunteer in the 2008 Olympics where I want to be helpful with the language. So I try to improve my English.
Customer: Very nice. Thank you for your time.
(He hands May some tips.)
May: Thank you, sir. But I'm not allowed to accept any tips.)
Customer: OK then. I don't want to put you in trouble.
May: Well, would you like something else? The new-made café parfait is really good. Want some?
Customer: OK. But I'd like some cookies.
May: Sure. If you want more coffee, please go over there. There is self-help coffee maker2.
Customer: I surely know that. Don't forget that I am a regular customer here.
May: Oops. Well, wait for a while. We'll get it done quickly.
Customer: It's OK. Thank you.

阿美: 嗨。这就是您点的东西。
顾客: 你是这里新来的吗？我经常到这家咖啡厅来。但是我以前都没有在这里见过你。
阿美: 是的。我是三天前开始在这里兼职的。我的实习期会持续一个礼拜。我现在还是个学生呢？
顾客: 你介意我问你为什么到这里来兼职吗？
阿美: 当然不介意了。你知道，这里有很多像您这样的外国客人。而我想这有利于提高我的英语口语。
