conversation 1
Woman: Hi, Mr. Smith. what's new?
Man: Nothing particular. But,...
Woman: What's the matter?
Man: I, I don't know how to explain it to you.
Woman: Go ahead. It's nothing serious. We are good friends, aren't we?
Man: Yes, of course. But I'm afraid I can't tell you.
conversation 2
Woman: Oh, dear! which dress should I choose? I can't make up my mind. Please help me.
Man: You know I don't know anything about fashion.
Woman: Which dress do you like best?
Man: well, they are both all right.
Woman: Only all right?
Man: Oh, no. I mean you look very nice in both of them.
Woman: Mike, that's no help to me at all. I can't wear both of them at the same time. I want a decision.
Man: But after all, it is your decision, not mine.
Woman: Oh, yes. The green dress is very smart. but I can't be sure if it goes with a hat.
Man: You are not wearing a hat, are you?
Woman: I was going to
Man: But I am sure no one wears a hat these days.
Woman: No, I, I suppose they don't , but in a smart society.
Man: I honestly don't know. Do you think I should wear a suit?
Woman: I would have thought so.
Man: but surely with this summer weather, a sports coat will be all right.
Woman: But that sport coat is such allowed check. I don't think it will do for such a occasion.
Man: No, perhaps not.
woman: Oh, I feel like such a model.
Man: So do I. Perhaps we should just wear what we want to. A lot of people do these days. Or perhaps the answer is not to go at all.
Woman: You mean rather than make fools of ourselves. I do feel terribly tired.
Man: But then again , you did want to go.
Woman: Yes and I would regret missing it. I wish you were decisive husband instead of floundering.
Man: Me floundering about you are the one who is worrying: Should I wear this or Should I wear that. It's you who are not certain, not me.
Woman: That's why I need someone to tell me a way out.
Man: All right. I'll tell you what we'll do.
Woman: What?
Man: we'll toss for it.heads you wear the white dress,tails wear the green. let money decides everything.

Woman: Yes, nobody was with her.
Man: Where did you see she was?
Woman: In Thailand.
Man: I must say i think that is very odd. Are you absolutely certain it was her?
Woman: Yes. yes, I am sure.
Man: Because I don't want any, er, do you understand? But you are quite sure,are you?
Woman: Quite sure. I mean that hair of hers and the voice of hers.
conversation 4
Woman: Jack I hear you have a chance to go to college without taking a test. Is that right?
Man: The news goes so fast. Ah , yes, I haven't decided yet.
Woman: Don't hesitate. That's a very famous university which a lot of students are longing to attain.
Man: Maybe you are right. But the major is not fit for me.I like architecture more than computers.
Woman: But this chance is really precious.
Man: Wow, I know. So I am thinking now.
Woman: I hope you can make a clever choice. Anyway, the opportunities around you are not that many.
Man: Thank you for your kindness. I will think about it carefully.
conversation 5
Woman: what's the matter, John? you seemed to be restless ,today。
Man: You see, I've been offered a new job. I can't decide whether to take it or not.
Woman: Oh, that's easy. If it's better than the one you are doing now, go for it. That's my advice.
Man: It isn't that easy. I hate to quit my present job. People around here are very nice and the work itself is challenging .
Woman: Then what about the salary? Would you get more?
Man: Yes. they say I would get a big sum.
Woman: Have you discussed it with your wife?
Man: Yes , she leave it to me.
Woman: As I say it the work is well worth try. After all you can get a higher salary.
Man:I have to think about it. |
