[User] Hi. You said that you might need some help with preparing dinner. What would you like me to do?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Thanks for coming over to help. I really appreciate it. First, could you peel the vegetables? I’ Ve put them all in the skin and there’s a peeler.

[User] Ok, I’ll peel the vegetables and you chop them. I’m terrible at chopping vegetables. I always seem to chop them into pieces that are either too big or too small....wow! You can chop vegetable really quickly, just like professional chefs on TV!

[Assistant] After you’ Ve chopped the vegetables, could you fry the meat in a little oil? Just use a very small amount of oil. Fry the meat until it is cooked, then we’ll add some spices to flavor it.

[User] Which spices are you going to add to the meat?

[Assistant] These ones here. The one on the left is very spicy, so we must be careful about how much we add.

[User] Yes. We don't want everyone to burn their mouths and have a drink gallons of water! OK. I’m really to do the meat. Should I cook it over a low flame?

[Assistant] Cook it over a high flame, so that it will be ready quickly. Keep stirring the meat around the frying pan. Don’t let the meat stick to the bottom of the pan.

[User] Right. What are you doing over there?

[Assistant] I’m mixing the sauce. It’s my specialty. I make it according to my own secret recipe!

[User] Mr. Li, does the recommendation of the university play an important role in job hitting?

[Assistant] Yes. In fact, the recommendation is a way of indirect self-recommendation. The university and the business have a long-term relationship. If you are recommended by your university, you can be approved more easily.

[User] But I doubt the authority because most of the recommendation letters of the university are the same.

[Assistant] More and more people have the same discoveries since most of the universities do that in order to save effort.

[User] Let me see... Perhaps I could fit you in at five thirty.

[Assistant] Five thirty? I have a dinner appointment at six.

[User] What about tomorrow morning, then?

[Assistant] No. I can't wait. I feel awful. The dinner appointment has to be canceled.

[User] I guess it can't be helped.

[User] Good morning. I came in answer to your advertisement for a salesperson.

[Assistant] I see. Will you walk this way, please? What experience have you had?

[User] I'm afraid I haven't had any experience in just this sort of work. I'm studying business administration in college. I want to get a job that would tie in with my studies.

[Assistant] Have you got any selling experience at all?

[User] I worked in a department store in a small town last summer vacation.

[Assistant] Now tell me about your educational background.

[User] I graduated from Beijing University. I majored in business administration.

[Assistant] What courses have you completed?

[User] The courses I completed are marketing, business law, business English, statistics, marketing principles, sales management, distribution theory, economies and psychology.

[Assistant] What subjects did you like most at university?

[User] I liked sales strategies most.

[Assistant] Why would you like to work with us?

[User] It's an interesting job, and your company is one of the best known. Although I have no work experience as a salesperson, the job description you sent was very interesting. It's a job I've been dreaming of when I was at university.

[Assistant] What are your future plans and what kind of expectations do you have of the company?

[User] I have an interest in marketing and I would consider graduate study in business in the future. I think my goals will become more clear as I gain experience in sales and marketing.

[Assistant] Good. Do you know anything about this company?

[User] Yes, a little. As you mentioned just now, yours is an American capital company. As far as I know your company is a world famous one which produces cosmetics and skincare products.

[Assistant] Have you got anything to ask me?

[User] Will traveling be required in this position?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* You bet. This is the nicest room in the district. You know what, I just had all the walls repainted last month.

[User] What about the kitchen?

[Assistant] It's a well furnished eat-in kitchen. The stove and the ice-box are in good order, and the plumbing is OK, too.

[User] What kind of promotional events are scheduled for the new product line?

[Assistant] Marketing has us set up with product launches in five major cities, as well as some sponsoring events throughout the year. All together, there will be 15 events.

[User] What kind of sponsoring are we talking about? I don't know how effective sponsorship really is...

[Assistant] It's not what you're thinking. These events will give us a wider exposure than most. Take the tri-city marathon for starters. This is a highly publicized event. The television exposure alone will nearly double our customer awareness.

[User] Other than the marathon, what else is on the list?

[Assistant] We've got a spot in Olympic Stadium sponsoring one of a team's equipment, then a rally for cancer research, and a connection to the inner-city education program.

[User] Sports, medicine, education... seems kind of random, don't you think?

[Assistant] It might seem that way, but this events were all carefully chosen based on marketing research. These are the events that our customers and potential customers care about.

[User] Therefore, I think I'll explore New York some more. But I need to store my bags.

[Assistant] Sir, our storage facility is merely $5 an hour. You also need to leave a deposit.

[User] My luggage isn't enough of a deposit?

[Assistant] Unfortunately, it isn't. VISA or MasterCard will suffice, though.

[User] Have you done any work in this field? What have you learned from the jobs you have had?

[Assistant] You just don't get it. Looking for bargains can be really interesting.

[User] Are you serious? How can that be?

[Assistant] Bargaining is a game, or even a battle. You feel like a winner when you get a good price.

[User] Come on. You know, you can never really win. The salesperson never loses. They make their living out of it.

[Assistant] That's true. But I just love it. Come here!

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Oh, this silk carpet is really beautiful. Look at the pattern, and how delicate it is!

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* You do have great taste. That's the most expensive stuff here.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Really? Oh, this one. I like the cloisonn vase.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Are you kidding me? I bought a same one last week. It's surprising that there is something we both like. Well, what do you think of these ceramic cups?

[User] Come on. They look so cheap. Something else, please.

[Assistant] What about this picture? I think Benjamin would like it.

[User] Don't underestimate his taste. I don't think he'd like it.

[Assistant] Don't be so sure. He loves the vase I bought here last week.

[User] Yeah. Well, anyway, it's up to you. But I can tell that you come here often.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Absolutely. That's why I can always get a good price.

[User] I try to do that, but I can’t get up early enough.

[Assistant] I couldn’t either at first, but you get used to it.

[User] It’s so hot at lunchtime; I’d rather run in the morning.

[Assistant] Well, why don’t you come tomorrow? I’ll stop by your house on my way out.

[User] I could try, but I can’t say for sure if I’ll get up in time. What time do you want to go?

[User] Will the home inspection cost me a lot?

[Assistant] It can cost as little as five hundred dollars and as much as one thousand dollars.

[User] Is it my choice as to who inspects this house?

[Assistant] Yes, it is your choice as you are paying for it. Make a wise investment and choose the best inspector you can find.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* OK. Yeah! Yeah!

[Assistant] First you take some eggs and crack them in a bowl, and whisk them up, quite, so they're quite high and fluffy, and in a hot pan, and you need a pan that's that's kind of small, that the sides go up at an angle. You put some oil and heat it up, so it's quite hot, and then you take your whipped up eggs, or whisked up eggs, and pour them into the pan, and as it's cooking, if you take a spatula, and push the bottom layer of the egg, to the side, to the sides, and then to the middle, so the uncooked egg gets to the bottom of the pan.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Oh, OK. Wow!

[Assistant] OK. And keep doing that until most of the egg is cooked so you should have a nice thick omelet and then flip it over, you'll only have to cook that side lightly. Put your fillings on the top and fold it over and let it sit just long enough to melt the cheese.

[User] All I do all day is work and watch TV. I really should start thinking about my health.

[Assistant] I never thought about that, but you're right. What do you think we should do?

[User] For starters, we should start doing more outdoor activities. That way we'll get some exercise.

[Assistant] I was thinking about taking tennis lessons. I always have an hour to spare in the afternoon. What do you think about that?

[User] That's not a bad idea. How much is it?

[Assistant] I heard it is only about one hundred twenty dollars a month for 8 lessons.

[User] Passport, please!

[Assistant] Here you are.

[User] Are you Chinese?

[Assistant] Yes, I am.

[User] Where in China are you from?

[Assistant] Fujisan Province.

[User] There are a lot of people from China visiting right now.

[Assistant] It's not surprising. Our school year just ended, and a lot of Chinese are on vacation.

[User] How long do you plan to stay?

[Assistant] About half a month.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* All right. Here's your passport. Welcome to Australia.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Thank you.

[User] Hello, jewelry department. How may I help you?

[Assistant] *Hands shake, step back* It's me, Ali. There's this strange guy who keeps coming around. He's been here three times this week.

[User] He's probably a pervert. Just ignore him.

[Assistant] *Legs tremble, posture crouched* He makes me nervous. He looks at me funny. And he never buys anything!

[User] Are you ready to order? May I suggest a veal.

[Assistant] No, I'll have the fish please.

[User] The chicken is also nice.

[Assistant] No, I want the fish.

[User] Our special tonight is lobster.

[Assistant] Thank you, but I prefer the fish.

[User] Perhaps you'd enjoy the lamb

[Assistant] No, I like the fish.

[User] Hi, Boss! I'd like to tell you what we've discussed during the day.

[Assistant] Okay. Is all going well?

[User] I think it's going very well, actually. We had a long meeting with them. After several lengthy discussions they decided to accept our offer.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Really? That's great. You really did a good job. Anything else to tell me?

[User] We're meeting with their finance director today and then with the other directors tomorrow, just to sort out some final details.

[Assistant] OK. If he wants to make any changes, minor alternations can be accepted. Let me know what happens.

[User] How do you think a manager should react to an employee’ s unsatisfactory work?

[Assistant] If I were a manager, I would have a private talk with this employ to figure out the reasons. It is very important to have this one-to-one discussion in an unthreatening situation without any distraction.

[User] Exactly, I overheard a manager scold his employee in the elevator this morning, they were from the company on the 12th floor, I guess. They were only three of us in the elevator, I felt very embarrassed to be in the middle of them.

[Assistant] Well, I guess the employee would feel more embarrassed and probably angry. Anyway, it is not wise at all to give a harsh time to your employee in front of others, especially strangers.

[User] What's the life expectancy in your country?

[Assistant] I'm not sure, but probably about 75 years. How about in your country?

[User] About 70, I think. This newspaper article talks about the problems of an aging population. It's a problem that will soon affect most of the world.

[Assistant] I heard that the government might need to increase the retirement age, because otherwise there will not be enough workers to support the young and the elderly.

[User] Perhaps we need to have more babies! Tina gave birth to a baby boy yesterday.

[Assistant] Did she? That's great. However, if we have too many children, that will have a bad effect on the environment.

[User] How is your son these days?

[Assistant] Oh, he's fine. Kids seem to grow up very quickly nowadays.

[User] He'll be a teenager before you know it! Teenagers are often rebellious! When do you think it is a good age to have a child?

[Assistant] I had mine when I was 24. That's a little young. I'd suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties, or even in your early thirties if you have a good career.

[User] Yes, I think you're right. I'm thinking about having a child, but not just yet.

[Assistant] Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in your country?

[User] Yes, there is. Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives. They want to go out, have fun, and explore the world. They want to develop their own view of life.Parents usually try to discour

[Assistant] Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country. Sometimes they give them too much freedom.

[User] Hello. Front desk. How can I help you?

[Assistant] Good evening. Is the kitchen open now?

[User] I’m sorry. The kitchen is closed after midnight.

[Assistant] It’s ok, good night.

[User] My doctor said that I need a chest X-ray.

[Assistant] Just take your clothes off from the waist up and put this gown on, with the opening in the back.

[User] What should I do after that?

[Assistant] You need to come over here and face this plate.

[User] Am I standing the right way?

[Assistant] I will need your arms raised to shoulder height.

[User] Am I doing this the right way?

[Assistant] Everything you are doing is perfect.

[User] Are you going to leave?

[Assistant] I am just getting behind this screen. You need to take a deep breath, hold it, and then breathe normally.

[User] Is that all there is to it?

[Assistant] You can get dressed as soon as the film is processed. We will be all done here.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* I really like the way this house looks.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yes, it has great curb appeal.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* The landscaping is wonderful!

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes, it is nice, but wait until you see the interior.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Oh, I see what you mean!

[Assistant] The carpeting and paint are all new, as well as the window treatments.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* I love the sage green carpeting with the sunset-colored walls.

[Assistant] Come and see the kitchen.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Oh, look at that beautiful countertop material and the double sink!

[Assistant] Let’s go check out the bedroom and bathroom.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* I really like the Jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, face pale* I am happy that you like the house. We should write down what we like so that we can remember it.

[Assistant] Yes, I don't feel well today.

[User] How long have you been feeling like this?

[Assistant] Since the day before yesterday.

[User] How did you feel at the very beginning?

[Assistant] It began with a shiver then I perspired a great deal.

[User] I see. You've caught a bad cold. I'll give you a prescription.

[Assistant] Thank you. Doctor.
