M: Mary, I hope you’ve been well prepared to leave.
W: Yes, but not exactly. Where is my passport?
M: Your passport? That’s the one thing you mustn’t leave behind.
W: I’ve packed it, but I can’t remember which bag it’s in.
M: Well, you have to find it at the airport. Come on, the taxi is waiting.
W: The plane doesn’t leave within two hours. Anyway, I’m ready to go now.
M: Hurry up.
W: I’m sure there’s no need to rush.

W: Is there anything else you would like to buy?
M: I’m looking for a sweater for my wife.
W: All our sweaters are in this section. What do you think of this one here?
M: It looks nice, but my wife usually prefers orange to red.
W: How about this one? It is of pure wool made in Australia.
M: I hope she will like it. How much is it?
W: It’s ...seventy-five dollars plus tax.
M: It’s a little expensive. Do you think it’s possible to get a discount?
W: Since you like it so much, how about a 10 percent discount? That’s the best I can offer.
M: Thank you. I’ll take it.

W: So, what are you going to do this summer?
M: Well, I’m probably going on holiday with my parents for a week. Will you stay here or go home?
W: Neither will I. I’m planning a trip to Scotland for the summer.
M: For the whole summer?
W: Yes, for seven weeks. I’m ready to work in a hotel in the mountains.
M: Really? That sounds great!
W: Yes, I hope so. I mean the work won’t be very interesting, but my hours are seven till ten in the morning and five till nine in the evening.
M: How did you find it?
W: In a newspaper. It tells you about all kinds of different jobs in different places.
M: Sounds so good!

M: Hello, Susan. How is everything in New York?
W: Never better, Henry. How are you? How is the family?
M: Everyone is fine, but actually I am feeling a little tired these days.
W: You are getting older, Henry. And you are heavier than you used to be.
M: Everyone grows older, but you look younger than ever. What’s your secret?
W: There is no secret. I get more exercise than you, and I am more careful about my diet. You should be, too.
M: You are right. When the weather is warmer, I’ll do it.
W: No, Henry. You should start now.
M: OK, I’ll start today. Thank you for the advice.

M: When I graduated from high school, I went straight from my high school graduation to working for my father. After 24 years I decided that I wanted to return to school and earn a degree. Some told me that it was too late. Others told me that I was too old. My heart told me that if it were meant to be that God would make it happen. One day while looking up information on how to go about getting into college, a little window popped up on my screen. It said, "Do you think you are too old to go back to school?" I clicked on the box and there I found an online college. I spoke to someone in the school and they assisted me in getting loans to pay for it.They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted. I also found out that I could attend classes from home so that I could be there for my son. Now today, almost 2 years later, I will be not only graduating but graduating with honors. So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible, remember this: if I would have listened to those people who told me I couldn’t do it, then today would just be Saturday.
