W: Could you pass me a cleaning cloth? I can't put clean dinner plates on this dirty shelf.

M: Here you are. If you like, I'll prepare some vegetables while you are doing that.

W: Last night's homework was terrible. How did you feel about it?

M: I didn't think it was too bad. I handed it in to the teacher this morning. Let's see what he thinks.

W: I was thinking of starting a band, but I need a drummer and a singer. Do you know anyone?

M: Sorry, I actually don't. Everyone I know plays the violin, like I do.

M: You can sit here if you'd like a window seat.

W: Oh, that's very kind of you, but my seat is right over one of the wings. I'll be able to have a great view. Thanks, anyway.

M: Look what I've bought. I'll be able to get some air to my legs.

W: Great, and you'll need a new pair of shoes. Black shoes and socks with shorts isn't a good look.

W: I'm getting really hungry. Do you want to order takeout?

M:There are still leftovers from yesterday. Also, we have plenty of eggs to cook.

W: It is Friday, though. You know you want to have something fresh and easy.

M: Fine, but only if you pay for it.

W: Great. Let's order some burgers for dinner to celebrate the week.

M: I don't want a burger, though. Get me a salad with extra carrots and onions.

W: Now that I have retired, I would like to learn a new skill.

M: What kind of skill, Grandma? Something like gardening?

W: No, I thought about cooking, but I'm quite good at that already. Then I was thinking of computers.

M: That would be different. Do you think you could do it?

W: Well, my eyesight is poor, but I am still very active and my memory is excellent.

M: There is a night school held at the town hall, and they teach about computers.

W: That's what I thought.I will give them a ring.

M: I've been reading a book and I would have said it was the best book I have ever read.

W: But...

M:But I got to the last chapter, it just repeated over and over what had already been said in the book.

W: So, it's not the best book you have ever read?

M: Well, I loved it 90% of the time. I suppose I'm greedy and want total satisfaction.

W: Hey, you paid for all of those pages — not 90% of them. You're supposed to expect total satisfaction.

M:Actually, I found it on a train so that doesn't apply. But even if I'd borrowed it, I suppose I'd expect to completely enjoy it.

W: Do you think I should read it?

M: I was going to recommend it to people,but after that last chapter, I felt like throwing it away.

W: I'm curious. I must read it.

M:I'll get it for you.

M: Hey, Alice. Thanks for saving me a spot at the table.

W: No problem. How come you are so late?They were just serving pizza, but it's all gone now.

M: I know. Mrs. Clay had to keep the entire class 10 minutes after the bell.

W: What is she teaching you right now?

M: The countries of the world and their capital cities. It's so confusing.

W:There is no way it's as confusing as what we learned in Mr. Potter's class. He's teaching us about shapes and measuring angles.

M: Ah, math is always hard for me. Hey, did you hear Mr. Johnson is taking us on a field trip?

W: Oh, yeah.We're going swimming this afternoon.

M: He's such a cool teacher. Last year when his class got all B's or higher, he took them to a soccer game.

W: That's awesome!I wonder where he will take us this year.

M: I don't know, but my vote is for the amusement park!

M:Ladies and gentlemen，thanks again for coming to the 16th Annual Vinewood County Community Awards. I am honored to be standing here before you as captain of the Vinewood Police Department.I am even more privileged to be presenting our final award of the night. But before that,I am proud to say this year we raised $30,000. That's $5，000 more than last year! Now I want to talk about Rob Cook. This man is a true hero.He has already received the White Flower Award, which symbolizes charity. Back then he helped pay for the construction of a school. Then we gave him the Gold Star for bravery, when he saved a child from a terrible fire. Today we honor him again with the Pink Rose. Although Rob is retiring this year and we are all sad to see him go, there is one advantage of his leaving. There will be more awards left for the rest of us. And now, please welcome...Rob Cook!
