M: Mom, can I borrow $5, please? It's too far to walk to the campus. And my friend Andy cannot give me a lift because he asks for leave today. I'd better take the bus to college this morning.
W: OK. Here is $10. Get yourself some lunch too.

W: How many tickets would you like, sir? And for which sections?
M: A family package for the main zoo and the special feeding zones. So for two adults and two children in total.

W: You look different, Bill. Did you change your hair?
M: Oh, thanks for noticing. My hairdresser was ill so I had the trainee instead. But I hate it! He has messed it up so badly. I am embarrassed now.

M: Hi Sarah. Could you please tell me your secret of getting high scores in exams? I don't want to let my mom down anymore.
W: Well, there is no shortcut. Do what Mr. Ryan asked us to do and practice more after class.

M: Are we still meeting at the restaurant at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon?
W: I will be there at 5:30 p.m. I have a meeting at 4:30 p.m. and it will run for less than an hour. I'll drive there so that you won't wait too long.

W: What happened to your sports shoes, Jake? I just bought them for you not long ago.
M: Oh, I fell into the mud while I was playing football at lunchtime.
W: Oh, Jake. You have ruined them. I am not sure if putting them in the washing machine will make them look new again.
M: Sorry, Mom. But don't worry. I will still use them even if they're a little dirty. They are really comfortable.
W: Just be a little more careful next time, Jake. You must learn the value of money and take care of yourself as well.
M: I will pay more attention next time. I promise.

W: How was your ride today, Robert?
M: It was great. Really good fun.
W: Where did you cycle to?
M: We went right to the end of the lane, then through the gate, down the big hill and around the lakes.
W: Oh, quite a long way then.
M: Yes, and look at these. We'll be able to eat them.
W: Oh, where did you find them?
M: Next to the first lake. There are lots of apple trees down there. The apples are just falling onto the ground.
W: Yes, I noticed them the last time I walked round there.
M: We saw your friend Alice while we were out.
W: Oh, was she running? She's a keen runner.
M: No, she was eating a sandwich and taking pictures of one of the lakes. It did look beautiful today.

M: Hello madam, welcome to PC World. How may I help you?
W: Hi there. I have my laptop with me. Every time I turn it on, all I get is a blue screen. I cannot use it. Can you fix it?
M: Sure. Let me take a look at it. Are you using Windows 10 as the operating system?
W: Yes, I am.
M: Usually this happens if you have accidentally canceled some of the required updates. It should be a fairly simple problem I think. I will need some time for it though.
W: Well, how much should I pay to fix it?
M: We charge by the hour usually. But it is not fair because that could include the time taken to update. I will give you a fixed price of $50 because I have seen this issue many times.
W: That is perfect. When may it be ready?
M: I am pretty fully booked today. Can you leave it with me? When it is done, I will give you a call.
W: All right.

W: Hello Larry. Your face looks very red.
M: I'm not surprised. I've just been to the gym.
W: Ah, you've decided to get fit, haven't you?
M: Yes, I exercise every Thursday and Friday. It's hard work, but I feel like it's doing me good. I think we can all benefit from exercise, although I didn't always think like that before.
W: What changed your mind?
M: One morning I was late for the bus. I saw it at the stop and ran after it. I caught it but I couldn't speak when I got on. I was so out of breath. So, I began to go to the gym with my friends.
W: What do you do? Lifting weights, that sort of thing?
M: No, I often use the running machine and sometimes the bikes and rowing machines.
W: Great. I enjoy swimming a lot. I swim three times a week. I try to go early in the morning when the pool is quiet. It gives me extra energy and keeps my weight down as well.
M: Did you say it had helped you lose weight?
W: Yes, I've lost 14 pounds since I started a year ago.
M: Wow, that's great. I've only lost half that amount so far.
W: Keep at it and you'll achieve your goals.
