W: How is your brother feeling these days?

M: Much better, thanks. He should be coming home in a few days. The operation was a success and the doctors said he would recover in no time.

Text 2

W: Excuse me, sir. What does this word mean?

M: You’d better learn to guess from reading it in the context.

Text 3

W: Shall we go to Munich for the holiday, darling?

M: Sounds great. But what about our children, Spark and Fiona?

W: Why not take them?

Text 4

M: It’s already 6:30. Shall we go now?

W: No, I just had breakfast about five minutes ago. Give me five minutes to pack my schoolbag. But we will try to get to school within a quarter of an hour.

Text 5

W: Hello, this is Linda from Siemens. Can I talk to Mr. Johnson?

M: I’m sorry he is at a meeting now. I think you can call him after it.

W: OK. Could you tell me when the meeting ends?

M: About ten.

Text 6

W: Excuse me, sir. Is there a fruit market near here?

M: Oh, yes, there’s a very large one around here.

W: Where is it?

M: It’s behind the supermarket.

W: Thanks, but is there a car park around the market?

M: Yes. There is a parking area in front of the supermarket.

W: Thank you very much, Sir.

M: That’s all right.

Text 7

M: You look upset. What’s wrong?

W: My daughter can’t decide about college.

M: Don’t worry. That’s just part of being a teenager.

W: I don’t mind that. But she disagrees with me about everything.

M: It doesn’t mean you’re a bad mother. I felt the same way about my son.

W: Really?

M: Yes. He used to argue with me. It turned out that he was just trying to be independent.

W: I guess you’re right. Everything will be OK.

Text 8

M: Are these your parents?

W: Yes. That’s my whole family.

M: Oh. You look a lot like your mom...especially your eyes. Very deep beautiful eyes. And the same figure.

W: Hey, I don’t want to hear that. I may look like my mom. But I really take after my dad.

M: Really, in what way?

W: We both have a thirst for adventures. My dad was crazy about motorcycles when he was young, you know. But that was before he was married. I’ve been riding a motorcycle myself since I was 17.

M: You? No way!

W: Yes, I’ve always done things like that, like surfing, snowboarding. We didn’t tell my mom, though. She would have killed us.

Text 9

M: So you’ve ordered your hamburger and chips. What will you drink?

W: Orange juice.

M: Er? You’ve changed your taste? Not Coke again?

W: Well, my favorite is Pepsi, but there’s no Pepsi here.

M: Can you tell the difference between the two?

W: Actually not, but they say Pepsi is a little bit sweeter. I drink it because of Beckham.

M: Beckham? You mean that handsome guy?

W: Exactly! I’m a big fan of his.

M: Then Beckham made an ad for Pepsi?

W: My sunglasses are also advertised by him.

M: Why does he make so many ads? He’s already a rich man!

W: Of course for money. Anyway, I don’t care. It doesn’t hurt anyone, right?

M: But you seem to be much influenced by him.

W: Yes, I like to be fashionable.

M: Poor girl! I only listen to myself.
