W: Excuse me. Do you think I can return these gloves?

W: They are too small.
M: Didn't you try them on before you bought them?

M: OK, I see. I'm afraid I can't give you a cash return, but you can change them.
W: I believe you sell these gloves for ＄25.
M: Yes. I'll take the gloves of the same price for you to choose.

W: Hello, Simon. Where are you?
M: Hi, Janet, I'm home.
W: Why? I didn't notice you were not here until the teacher called your name but nobody replied.
M: I was about to call the teacher.
W: I heard that you fell when climbing the mountain last weekend.
M: Yes, I did. I nearly hurt my leg， but luckily there was nothing serious. What made me lie in bed was my fever after that. The temperature was much lower on the mountain.
W: Oh, have you gone to see the doctor?
M: Without the doctor's permission, how dare I stay at home during school hours? I can take two days' leave.
W: Please take care of yourself and I can help you with the leave.
M: It's very kind of you, Janet.
W: My pleasure. I'll hang up. Bye.
M: OK, I'll take my pills. Bye.

W: How is little Ed doing at the kindergarten, Jack?
M: Oh, he's doing fairly well. It's been three weeks since he first started going, so Macy and I are pretty used to it now. You should have seen Macy cry when Ed was about to set off on the first day, though.
W: I think that's a normal reaction for mothers. You live quite close to the kindergarten, don't you? How does he get there?
M: Macy walks there with him every morning unless the weather is bad. When it rains, Macy will drive.
W: And is Ed enjoying kindergarten?
M: Yeah, he loves to have other kids to play with. He keeps telling us things they do together.
W: What do the teachers at the kindergarten say about him?
M: They said he's bright, and that he's starting to learn how to tell time. Isn't that fantastic?
W: That is fantastic. It sounds like everything goes well.

M: I was walking around the other day when I saw a sign for The Bookworm. It's a really cool cafe that has great food, and sometimes it has music and other special events. Well, I happened to hear that Peter Hessler was going to be speaking at 7:30 that very night. Peter Hessler is probably my favorite writer at the moment. He used to write about China for The New Yorker, and he also wrote 3 books about his experience living and working in Beijing. I was so excited to hear him speaking that I went right over to The Bookworm at 7:00, took a seat at the bar, and waited for him to arrive. I waited and waited, but he didn't show up. Finally, at 8:30, I asked one of the staff when Peter Hessler was supposed to be there. "Peter Hessler?" he replied. ?"He's not supposed to be here tonight. He was here last month, though." It was then that I realized my mistake. I had come on the right day, but not in the right month!
