W: Dinner here is really good. We two have so much to eat.
M: Yeah. I think ＄130 per person isn't too bad.

W: I think an ideal manager should be demanding.
M: I couldn't agree with you more. A manager shouldn't be too easy-going or friendly.

W: We'll have to run some tests on you. First, I'm going to take a blood sample. Make a fist.?
M: OK.

M: Hello. I booked a table for seven o'clock. The name is Tom.
W: Wait a minute, please. Ah, yes. Follow me, please.

W: Jack, be quiet. The news is on.
M: Mom, I don't know why you like the news. It's the same every day. Every day there is some crime, fire and flood. There is never any good news.
W: I know there is some bad news, but it is important that we know what is happening in the world.
M: But I want to watch something else for a change.
W: You can watch something else when the news is over. Now let's be quiet and watch the news.
M: OK. I won't be here. I'll be at my friend's party. I'm going. Bye, Mom.
W: Bye, Jack. Remember to be home by eleven.
M: No, Dad said I could come back at eleven thirty.
W: Well then, half an hour later is OK. Your father and I will be waiting for you.
M: OK.

M: Hey, Linda. Did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year?
W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes?
M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we'll be able to choose how many meals per week we want. We still have to pay for the whole year's meals at the beginning of the year, but we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week.
W: That's a big change, Tom.
M: Yeah. It will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, because they won't have to pay for meals they don't eat.
W: So what about the change for those who do eat at school all the time?
M: It's better for them too. Because the more meals you buy, the cheaper each one will be.
W: It sounds rather confusing.
M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out.

M: Have you seen Mary recently, Cathy?
W: Yes, I have. I saw her two days ago. She hasn't been very well in the past couple of weeks.?
M: Has she seen a doctor since she was ill?
W: Yes, she has. The doctor told her to take it easy for a while, but she didn't take his advice. She's  busy as usual.
M: Do you think it useful for me to ask her to have a rest when I go to see her? Or shall we go together?
W: I think you can go yourself and show your concern to her since she sometimes would take your advice. So it's unnecessary for me to go with you. What's more, I have some other things to do at the moment.
M: OK. Then I'll have a try.

W: Hi, John! I'd like to ask some questions about your reading habits. First, please tell me when you read and how many hours a week you spend reading.
M: OK, Ruby. I know you like reading before you go to sleep, but I prefer to read for half an hour when I'm traveling on the bus. So 5 days a week, plus another half hour — about three hours in total.
W: I probably read more than you — more like 4 hours. What sort of books do you like? Hmm...science fiction, books about war, or love stories?
M: Well, I prefer travel books. I think we can learn a lot from non-fiction.
W: I suppose so, but I prefer to read love stories.Those are perfect for relaxation.

   Tom's father is a doctor and he wants Tom to become a doctor too. However, Tom would rather be an artist. He loves to draw and paint. People say that he is very talented. Tom's parents say it will be foolish of Tom to become an artist, because artists don't make enough money to support themselves. Tom is now in a medical school, but he is not very happy. He doesn't mind the hard work, but he finds studying medicine very boring. Moreover, he doesn't like hospitals, either. Tom is still thinking of becoming an artist, but he isn't sure whether he can do it. He doesn't know how he will support himself if his parents don't help him. He wishes he wouldn't have to worry about money. He wishes he could amuse himself and make his parents happy too.
