A: I understand that I can get a nice-looking pair of pants for around 50 bucks. You’re paying $450 for the designer’s name.

A: Okay, fine, suit yourself. It’s your money.
Conversation 5.
A: I can’t believe it! Our English teacher is Chinese.

B: But, uh, Mr. Chen can speak English fluently, and he knows things that native speakers don’t know.
A: Yeah? Like what?
B: Like how to learn English. I’ll bet he can show us how he did it, and that will make it easier for us, too.
A: Hmm. Maybe you’re right.

Hi! I’m Michael. I’m a 32 year-old white male, I’m divorced, and I want to try again with the right lady. Like bodybuilding, rock music, dancing, and I like to party. I’m looking for an attractive woman who likes the same things I do. And she’s gotta be someone I can trust.
Conversation 7.
Hi, I’m Fred. About four years ago, Jeanne and I retired. We were looking forward to taking care of our yard. But just when we got the yard looking really nice, Jeanne’s legs started causing her trouble. At first, I tried to take care of her and the yard all by myself, but it was just too much. So we asked our daughter Gloria to come back home to live with us, together with her family. Now it’s like a zoo around here, but it’s nice having Gloria here to help with Jeanne.
Conversation 8.
One of the things I really like about living in Costa Rica is that it’s so safe. I mean, I can go walk around the streets with 50,000 pesetas in my wallet and I don’t even worry about it. In American cities, I used to worry about waling around with 20 dollars in my wallet. And another thing is that sometimes I go into a restaurant and I can leave my backpack sitting at a table and I go up to order and I come back knowing that my backpack is going to be safe and no one’s even touched it .

Conversation 10.
A: Hey, Jason, do you think…could I borrow $100?
B: Are you crazy? What do you need that much money for?
A: I lost two hundred in a card game last week, and all I had was a hundred. The guy I lost to told me I had a week to come up with the money. And tonight’s the night. I don’t know what he’ll do to me if I don’t have the money.
B: Okay, I guess I can loan you the money. I’d hate to see anything bad happen. Let’s go to the cash machine.
A: Thanks, bud. You know, if you loan me an extra fifty or so, I can get in a game, and then I’ll win it back.
B: Not a chance. You’re lucky I’m loaning you the hundred. And I’ll tell you something—this is the last time I’m gonna do it. You’ve been gambling way too much. You’d better kick the habit.
