M: Mary, how’s your report coming along?
W: Oh, my report… I finished a draft one month ago. But my advisor said I should use more references if I want to meet his expectations.
Text 2
W: How many people turned up at the charity party?
M: Fewer people came than we had expected. It was disappointing. We still need more money for our organization.
W: Sorry that I wasn’t able to attend. I had intended to make it, but something came up with my son.

M: Now, I am going to take a shot of your face. Say cheese! Good!
W: Let me take a look. Hmm, shall we take another shot?
Text 4
W: Let’s call it a day. We’ve been at this for hours.
M: I’m beat, too. Let’s get something to eat.
W: Sounds good. We’ll feel better with a little nutrition.
Text 5
M: You should take a look at this car. It’s a real beauty.
W: This car looks like it has a lot of problems. You must think I was born yesterday if you expect me to buy it.
Text 6
M: Hey, can I ask you a favor? Could I get a ride to soccer practice? I have to be there at 3 o’clock.
W: I don’t think I can. I have a class at 3:15, but I was planning on going to the library after lunch to get some studying don e. I won’t have any other time to prepare for my test tomorrow morning because I’m working from 5 o’clock until midnight tonight.

W: Could I see the manager, please? I have a complaint to make.
M: Yes, I’m the manager here. What can I do for you, ma dam?
W: Did you have the room checked before we moved in?
M: Which room are you in, madam?
W: 1808. The toilet doesn’t work properly, the water doesn’t work in the shower, and the tap was leaking the whole night, so there’s water all over the bathroom floo r.
M: I’m awfully sorry to hear that. The housekeeper usually checks every room before new guests move in. We have been extremely busy with a large conference these past few days. We’ll change your room to 2002. It has a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. And we’d like to offer you an extra night’s stay in our hotel free of charge.
W: Not bad. Thanks.
M: It’s my pleasure, madam.

W: Wow, I’m also looking for a good fall color for my nails. Do you sell nail polish here?
M: Yes, we do. However, it’s a littl e early in the year to have our fall colors out. Usually, we will put them out more toward September, not July.

M: My pleasure. Here. Please take this relaxing face wash!
W: Excellent! Thanks!

M: Hi, darling! I have a one-month vacation saved up. How about a trip to Europe?
W: I could go for that. But I’m afraid our budget is a little tight this year.
M: Oh, but I really need to leave this town for a change. Working day after day has worn me out. Do you have any other suggestions?
W: We should probably think about going somewhere that isn’t too far away. How about the countryside? There are many interesting places we could go, and we could enjoy the fresh air and the delicious local food.
M: Wonde rful! I think that’s a great idea. How long until we can make this happen? I can’t wait! W: Tomorrow I have an appointment with my dentist. What about next Monday?
M: Perfect. I’ll start making the arrangements tomorrow. If we’re going to drive, I’ll need to fill up the tank.
W: No need. I think it’s still plenty full. Even so, I’d rather travel by bus or train. It would cost much less than driving. Gas prices are very high nowadays, you know.
M: We can take the train. It will be faster. I’ll book the ticke ts tomorrow morning.
W: Great! Oh, one more thing, don’t forget to check the weather forecast before we go. I’d hate to get caught in the rain.
M: No problem. I’m really looking forward to the coming week.
W: Me, too. I’ll make a list of what we need to ta ke with us.

W: Something smells good!
M: Hey, there you are! Sit down and I’ll open the wine.
W: Um, okay. What’s the occasion?
M: Oh, nothing. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me stay at your house for the last few days. I know it hasn’t been easy with me here.
W: Oh, it’s been great! I know this place is small, but it hasn’t been a big deal at all. To tell you the truth, living with you has been much easier than with my last roommate! Melanie was just terrible.
M: Oh, she couldn’t have been that bad…
W: Uh, she never paid her share of the rent or bills on time. She always left a huge mess in the kitchen. She would always wake me up in the middle of the night to ask me for advice about her crazy boyfriend, and she broke about five things of mine and never offered to replace them.
M: So that’s the reason you decided to live alone!
W: Bingo! So, what are you making over there?
M: We’ve got fish, potatoes, and steak. And the dessert is in the freezer.
W: Let me guess… ice cream?
M: No, it’s a cake, actually. But it needs to be kept in the freezer until right before we’re ready to eat it. It’s supposed to be delicious.
W: Did you make that yourself, too?
M: Heavens, no! I bought it from the bakery down the street.
W: Well, I guess a three-course dinner is still pretty amazing. I didn’t know you could cook. The whole time we’ve known each other, you’ve never once mentioned any thing about cooking.
M: Well, I cook a lot for myself… at least I did before I got kicked out of my apartment. Now, where is that wine?
