W: Are your parents early again? Didn't you tell everyone to come to the party in an hour?

M: Yes, but I've just asked my friend Joe to come early and bring some baby food, since my sister will come later with her daughter. He's probably arrived.

W: Can I follow you through the forest?

M: Yes, but change out of that T-shirt. The temperature in there can be very low, so you need something better than that. 

W: OK. I'll finish my lunch and then I'll be ready.

M: I like the book that it's based on.  And I learned about the director in my film class and really enjoyed his work. 

W: Well, I hope it meets your expectations! Oh, it's about to start. Let me turn my phone off.

M: My goldfish died.

W: Oh, that's so sad. I'm here for you, darling. 

M: I loved her so much. Goldie always swam up to me and blew me a kiss.

W: Would you like to get another goldfish, honey? After all, you still have a goldfish bowl and plenty of fish food.

M: Oh, I ran out of fish food.

W:I thought your dad bought some last week.

M: Dad did.But I fed Goldie the whole box of fish food for her birthday present. 

W: No wonder she died.

W: Hello. Where are you heading today?

M: I'm off to Tokyo for a week.

W: Do you have your passport with you? 

M: Yes, here you are. I don't need a visa to go to Japan, do I?

W: Fortunately for you, you don't. Would you like a window seat?

M:  Are there any seats available by the emergency exit? 

W:  Let me see...Yes, there's one left in the back of the plane. 

M: OK. I'll take it then. 

W: All right. How many pieces of luggage are you checking in?

M: I like to travel light so I just have this one.

W:  If that's your only piece of luggage, it is small enough to be carried with you. Here's your boarding pass. Enjoy your flight!

W: I've had this laptop for five years. There are so many valuable things saved on it.

M: Did you back them up? It's a good idea to back up your photos and videos.

W: I never thought I needed to. How did the computer break down?

M: It's hard to say. Was it dropped or exposed to water?

W: Actually, I left it outside on my balcony by accident.

M: I see. It must have been rained on.

W: It wasn't that. But it was in direct sunlight for hours. 

M: In this summer heat? It must have fried the internal components and processors. 

W: I didn't know that was possible. Can I save the photos, at least? 

M: I'm afraid not. We can replace it with a new laptop model, though.

W:  I also need the memory saved on this laptop for work. Is it really damaged beyond repair?

M: I'm afraid so, but there are useful parts we can recycle for money.  If so, we can give you a discount on a new computer. 

W: OK, I guess I'll do that.

M: Where are you going for your winter vacation this year? 

W: This year Dennis and I are thinking about climbing the world's second highest mountain. 

M: Wow, extreme mountain climbing? That can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You know that sometimes the temperatures can be up to 50 degrees below freezing with winds up to 60 miles per hour. Also the ice can crack and break under your feet at any time. 

W: Well, I've been looking at some information about mountain climbing in my extreme sports magazines. I think it's something that we would both like to try.

M: Certainly learning as much as you can will help you to have a safe and fun trip. When I was young I used to go on long hiking expeditions because I was a professional photographer. I would just make sure that you bring someone who knows the mountain very well with you.

W:  We are planning on bringing a guide with us. We also have a professional trainer that has helped us train this year. Now all we need is the plane tickets and we are ready to go!

M: Hello, everyone. My name is Karl Roberts, and I'll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication. 

To begin with, please take a look at the introduction in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.  We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course. And we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursdays in Room 405 during the last two months of the class. 

This is the text for the class, "Beyond Language". Unfortunately, the books haven't come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow.  Besides, the grade is determined by your performance on final tests, a research project, and class participation.  

My office hours are from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet me at other times as well.
