M: Don't worry. I passed my test on a motorbike.

W: I wonder if I'll need my umbrella today.

M: Yeah, it doesn't look very nice out there, does it?

W: True. But it's been cloudy like this for days, yet it's stayed dry.

M: What does the weather report say?

W: Not much. I asked my phone's virtual assistant, but it just said, “It may rain today. There's a 51% chance at 10:00 a.m.”

M: Very helpful!

W: I know! It might as well say, “Your guess is as good as mine!”

M: Ha-ha! You'd better take one anyway. Better to be prepared.

W: Good point. And I guess I can take my travel umbrella. It's small.

W: I can't believe it. I've lost my whole story.

M: What's happened?

W: All of a sudden, my screen went black. When it came back on, there was nothing there. I spent all morning writing that story.

M: Did you save it as you went along?

W: I thought I did, but the computer saves things itself, doesn't it?

M: I don't trust that. Have a look to see if there's a copy on your backup.

W: There's nothing there. I checked.

M: Oh dear.

W: Well, that's it. A whole morning has been wasted. I'll just have to do the whole thing again.

M: How annoying! It has happened to me before. Come on. Let's go to lunch. You might feel better after eating something.

W: OK. I have no better choice.

M: I really do need some money. I never seem to have anything these days.

W: Have you ever thought about getting a job?

M: Not until my graduation. But I'll have to wait for three months.  I need money this week.

W: Maybe some kind of part-time job?  Before that, you could borrow something, but I wouldn't advise that.

M: I suppose you're right. I should look for a part-time job.

W: I've already begun looking for full-time jobs.

M: Maybe I should be doing that as well. Have you been invited for any interviews?

W: I haven't actually applied anywhere yet. I've just looked at what kind of job is being offered.

M: What are you thinking of doing?

W: I'd like to be a translator, but maybe a teacher if I fail that. How about you?

M: For my career, I want to do engineering.

W: That smells good. What are you making?

M: My breakfast for tomorrow.

W: But it's almost dinner time!

M: Well, I've got a very early start tomorrow morning.

W: What are you going to do?

M: I've got a meeting at my company's head office. If I don't prepare, I know I'll end up eating something unhealthy at the train station. I've also made a salad to take with me for lunch.

W: Wow, I've never known you to be this organized! You're very serious about losing weight, aren't you?

M: I am. And I'm happy to say it's working!

W: Oh, really?

M: Yes, I've lost six kilos since I started at the beginning of the year. I weighed 95 kilos when I started in January.

W: That's amazing...and in only four months!Have you been exercising too?

M: Yes. I used to take the bus to work, and now I ride a bike instead.

W: That's really great. Maybe I should try to learn from you!

M: You don't need to lose any weight!

W: I may be slim, but I eat way too much junk food. And I drive everywhere, even when it would be easy to walk.

M: Well, I can lend you the book that inspired me.

W: That would be great! Thanks.

Honestly, I can't believe my dream has come true. As a young man, I have always been imagining moving to Los Angeles one day and putting my whole heart into music. Of course, at the time, this seemed like a very distant hope. But thanks to my fans, supporters and wife, I'm here today. First, I released(发行) three twelve-song records, which slowly gained attention around my hometown in northern England and some nearby regions like Scotland and Ireland. And now, my latest project, which was just a single song, caught the world's attention. For that, I'd say it only happened because I refused to give up. Through the ups and downs in my career, I did it all for the love of music. So, being recognized for this award means a lot to me.

To all the young musicians out there, you can do it too. Plus, to all the fans and anyone enjoying my music, I've done this for you. This award is for all of us — may many more great things come in the future. Now, put your hands together for our host, Bob Ackerman, with the next award.
