Text 1
W: Let’s go to the restaurant on the ground floor. I heard the food there is not bad.
M: But I heard the food is terrible there, and expensive, too.
Text 2
M: Would you mind turning down the TV a bit? I’m answering the phone.
W: Not at all.

Text 3
M: I’d like to see you off, Jane, but I can’t get to the airport until five o’clock.
W: I’m afraid I’ll have left by then. My plane takes off at 4:30.
M: What a pity! You’re going straight to Washington, aren’t you?
W: No, I’m staying with my sister in New York. She isn’t there at the moment but she’ll have arrived by Monday morning. I’ll spend a couple of weeks with her and then go to Washington. Classes will already have started by then.
M: Well, I wish you luck.

Text 4
M: Are you looking forward to a trip to Canada, Julie?
W: I can’t wait to see Canada, Jack. But I’m afraid of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous.
M: There is nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day?
W: I’ve no idea. Hundreds, I suppose.
M: And how often do you hear of a plane accident? Once or twice a year?
W: Yes, but planes fly so high and fast that one accident is enough.
M: Look, there are more road deaths per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.
W: I’d still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but at least you can relax.
M: It’s fine if you are a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea?
W: No, I’ve only been in a boat once. I sailed down the river on a sightseeing tour. But in any case, I’d rather be seasick than dead.'

Text 5
M: Did you listen to the weather report this morning?
W: Yes, I did. It will be cloudy in the afternoon. I hope that it won’t rain.
M: Have you made the sandwiches yet?
W: No, I haven’t. I’ll start right away. Did you get the soft drinks?
M: Yes, I did. They are in the refrigerator.
W: Would you put plastic knives and forks in the picnic basket? And don’t forget the paper plates and napkins.
M: Oh, Nancy called a while ago. She told me that she would like to bring something for the picnic.
W: I’ll call her right away and ask her to bring a bottle of wine.

Text 6
W: Stan, do you have a minute?
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What’s up?
W: Well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I’m not in there very often. It’s so noisy that I can’t work.
W: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. We’re supposed to be able to do our preparation in that office, but have you noticed? Jack constantly has students come in and get help with his course.
M: We can’t really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?
W: No, of course not. But I’m not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it’s the same for the others in the office.
M: Hmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When we have to talk to students, we could go to the meeting room.
W: Good idea.

Text 7
M: Have you seen Kate recently, Vicky?
W: Yes, I have. I saw her a couple of days ago. She hasn’t been very well in the last couple of weeks.
M: Has she seen a doctor since she’s been ill?
W: Yes, she has. The doctor told her to take it easy for a while, but she hasn’t been taking his advice. She’s as busy as usual.
M: Do you think it useful for me to ask her to have a rest when I go to see her? Or shall we go together?
W: I think you can go yourself and show your concern to her since she sometimes would take your advice. So it’s unnecessary for me to go with you. What’s more, I’ve got some other things to do at the moment.

Text 8
M: Say, Lisa, what are you watching?
W: A Japanese film. I’m going to spend all next year in Japan, and I’d better get to know more about its culture.
M: You mean you are accepted into the program?
W: Sure.
M: That’s wonderful. You must be excited.
W: Excited and nervous. You know I must work on some basic conversation skills.
M: How much Japanese can you understand?
W: Only a little now. But I’ll attend a special language class next month.
M: I wish I were as clever as you are in foreign languages. I’d love to study abroad.
W: Then why don’t you? The school has a lot of programs that don’t require the mastery of a foreign language. You just have to be the kind of person who is and can get used to a new environment fast.
M: I thought all programs required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.
