[User] *Lips quiver, tears held back* I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. He is always getting upset and losing his temper over nothing. It’s so hard to talk to him at times.

[Assistant] Maybe it’s just that he is stressed out from work or something. He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know.

[User] *Lips quiver, tears held back* Yeah but, he is always in a really foul mood. I try to find out what’s bothering him or get him to talk about his day but, he always shuts down and brushes me off.

[Assistant] Men are like that you know.They can feel nervous, anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness.

[User] I guess you are right. What do you think I should do? He wasn’t always this grouchy you know...

[User] I heard you were teaching English over there.Tell me about it. Did you like it?

[Assistant] Oh, yes, it was very interesting.

[User] What were the schools like?

[Assistant] Oh, I didn't actually teach in the schools. I taught after school. I taught in English institutes.

[User] But you taught children, yes?

[Assistant] Yes. That's right.But children in Taiwan are very different from children in America.At least as far as studying is concerned.Many children in Taiwan go to special institutes after school.

[User] They actually study after school?

[Assistant] That's right.After their school day is over, they go to a special institute to study math or English.They are very serious about learning over there.

[User] Hmm. That sounds pretty oppressive for the kids. Don't they ever relax?

[Assistant] Of course they do.You know, Eliza, before I went over there I thought the same thing. I thought that maybe kids in Taiwan study too much.But now that I've worked there, and taught them, I feel it is a good thing.Their parents are very concerned about their education. More than American parents are. And that is good. American kids don't study enough.

[User] Asian cultures value learning very much. I know that.

[Assistant] So it was interesting for me to see parents very concerned about education.They would come to me after the class and ask how their son or daughter was doing. I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing.In America, too many parents don't pay attention.

[User] But aren't the kids tired out? I mean, they go to school all day, and then they go to school in the evening too.

[Assistant] As an English teacher, I tried to make the lessons as fun as possible. I tried to have a good time with my classes. The students often enjoyed it.And if the students enjoyed it, they learned more. So it was a good experience.

[User] Are the kids in Taiwan very obedient?

[Assistant] That's a stereotype we Americans have.We think that Asian kids are very obedient and quiet.But it's not true. There are plenty of naughty kids too.

[User] Hmm. I know you taught in Costa Rica also.Which did you like better--Costa Rica or Taiwan?

[Assistant] I don't know. In Costa Rica, I taught adults.So it was a very different thing. So I really can't compare.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Tell me about it, will you?

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Well, we drove through the valley on our way there in the morning. It was a magnificent sight!

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Did you stop at the Fall for some pictures?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Sure, we wouldn't miss that for anything. After that, we took a short cut to the park. There was very little traffic, so we got there in less than an hour.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* You were lucky then.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Yeah, we spent the whole morning under the tall trees. We had our picnic there, too.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* What did you do after that?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* We went for a swim in the sea. That was the biggest part of the day. Just look at my nice tan!

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* So you must have had a busy and enjoyable day yesterday.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes, you are right. And I was so tired out that I fell asleep on the way back. My muscles are still stiff from the swim yesterday.

[Assistant] First, you need to have the list of books for your class. Do you have that?

[User] Yes, I have that.

[Assistant] Well, when you have that, you can take it over to the bookstore. Can you find it?

[User] No, I don't know where the bookstore is.

[Assistant] Just pass the gym and it's the first door on your left. Were you aware that you can also turn in your old textbooks for money?

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Really? How can I do that?

[Assistant] Take your used textbooks with you and give them to the representative near the entrance. He will pay you for them. Are you going today?

[User] Hey Lydia, what are you reading?

[Assistant] I’m looking at my horoscope for this month! My outlook is very positive. It says that I should take a vacation to someplace exotic, and that I will have a passionate summer fling!

[User] What are you talking about? Let me see that... What are horoscopes?

[Assistant] It’s a prediction of your month, based on your zodiac sign. You have a different sign for the month and date you were born in. I was born on April 15th, so I’m an Aries. When were you born?

[User] January 5th.

[Assistant] Let’s see. . . you’re a Capricorn. It says that you will be feeling stress at work, but you could see new, exciting developments in your love life. Looks like we’ll both have interesting summers!

[User] That’s bogus. I don’t feel any stress at work, and my love life is practically nonexistent. This zodiac stuff is all a bunch of nonsense.

[Assistant] No, it’s not, your astrology sign can tell you a lot about your personality. See? It says that an Aries is energetic and loves to socialize.

[User] Well, you certainly match those criteria, but they’re so broad they could apply to anyone. What does it say about me?

[Assistant] A Capricorn is serious-minded and practical. She likes to do things in conventional ways. That sounds just like you!

[Assistant] To be honest, Ava, I've just had a really bad day.

[User] What happened?

[Assistant] First, I slept through my alarm and ended up two hours late to work.

[User] What did your boss say?

[Assistant] He told me that if I showed up late one more time, he'd fire me. He's so mean!

[User] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* That's horrible. Was that the first time you'd shown up late to work?

[Assistant] That was my second time. The first time, I was in a car accident.

[User] Is your boss Chinese?

[Assistant] No, he's from Australia. Before I met him, I thought Australians were supposed to be relaxed and easy-going. I had no idea he'd be so fussy about things.

[User] What are you going to do?

[Assistant] I think I'm going to look for another job. I need to find a boss that is a bit more sensitive and optimistic than my current boss.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* That sounds like a sensible plan. Do you want me to help you with your job search?

[User] Canada, china, and the use are huge too.

[Assistant] There are several tiny countries in the world too. Countries like Monaco are smaller than many cities.

[User] Those small countries are microscopic compared to Russia. European countries are relatively small. France looks quite big in Europe, but compared to many countries in other continents, it’s not very l.

[Assistant] Yes, I’m in Titusville. The space shuttle is launched from near there. I’ve seen a lot of space shuttle launches.

[User] Well, generally in the U.S. each university has its own outstanding fields. But the graduate school accepts no applications after January 29th.

[Assistant] How should I say it?

[User] I don't want to be like this. I think we should get step further.

[Assistant] It has only been 6 months, our relationship hasn't had a chance to maturate. We are still have some hurdle we have to jump over.

[User] Like what?

[Assistant] Last week I saw Brain kissing you on the cheek.

[User] It was only the cheek.

[Assistant] That is ok, then? Starts on the cheek? pretty soon you french kiss in the back on his car.

[User] Oh, that is ridiculous.

[Assistant] So is it ok if I kiss other women on the cheek?

[User] How did you get around over there? Did you rent cars?

[Assistant] No, that would be too expensive. We used the train system.We bought a special pass called a Enrail pass. It lets people use the train wherever they want, as often as they want.

[User] I've heard about Enrail passes.So those Europeans really depend on trains a lot.

[Assistant] Yes, they do. I wish we Americans had a better train system.

[User] I know. Our train system is lousy.And besides, Americans love their cars too much.

[Assistant] I agree. And probably the automobile companies are too powerful.They never allowed the government to develop trains.

[User] It's too bad for the environment. So much pollution from cars.

[Assistant] Americans love cars for different reasons, I think.One reason is that we are very individualistic.And cars are a very individual way of getting around.Americans like the freedom of driving around by themselves.They don't want to ride in a train or bus with a group of people.

[User] Yes, I agree. I think it is a cultural characteristic.It would be very hard to get us Americans to change this.But you know what? Probably, in the future, Americans will have to change.

[Assistant] Why do you say "have to"?

[User] Because the earth's environment can't tolerate cars forever. I think cars are already causing global warming.When the problem gets more serious, world governments will have to start limiting car use.

[Assistant] Maybe you're right. They will have to develop alternative transportation.But it will be hard in America. Too many people are used to cars.Even in our movies cars are very important.

[User] Wow! I didn't notice the time.It's almost noon. I have to get home.

[Assistant] Do you want me to give you a ride?

[User] No, no problem. I have my car in the parking ramp around the corner.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* What? What did you buy?

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* It's a brick! I can't believe how stupid I was. Damn it!

[Assistant] What is it? Why did you buy a brick?

[User] There was a guy on the sidewalk.He had three new boxes, Panasonic video camera boxes.He said he had to get rid of them quick.

[Assistant] And?

[User] So he said he'd sell me one for twenty dollars. A four-hundred-dollar camera for twenty bucks.

[Assistant] And it's a brick?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] I can't believe how stupid you are. Why didn't you open the box?

[User] I wanted to. But he said, no, the box is still in its plastic wrap from the store.If it's opened, other people won't believe it's new.

[Assistant] So he had the boxes wrapped in plastic.

[User] Yes, it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products.Look, it even had a bar-code price sticker on it! It looked brand new.

[Assistant] But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars?

[User] He said he had to get rid of them. They were stolen.

[Assistant] Aha! Now I understand.You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk.So, what I think is, you deserve to get cheated!

[User] C'mon, don't blame me! I thought it was a new camera. We could use it.We were even thinking about buying a camera. I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box.

[Assistant] That's no problem.He just has a friend who works in a shop that can do plastic wrap. That's easy.And probably it's the same shop he got the boxes from.Maybe his friend works in an electronics store. They sell video cameras there. Probably they had a couple video camera boxes lying around.So they get the idea of wrapping bricks to sell to fools like you.Twenty dollars a brick. That's a good profit if they can sell enough bricks.

[Assistant] Yes, it's one of the main air pollutants. Factories don't emit it directly into the air. It's actually formed when nitrogen oxides and VOC emissions come into contact with heat and sunlight.

[User] Sorry? What does VOC stand for?

[Assistant] Oh, Vous are 'volver organic compounds'. That's a technical term for solvents or other chemicals found in things like paint.

[User] So, what damage does ozone do to the environment?

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Are you serious? Why would they have to go to such extreme measures like a strike? Doesn't your company have a pretty good corporate image? I'll bet the folks at headquarters are going nuts over something as serious as a strike...

[Assistant] It happens quite often, actually.Whenever there arises a dispute between the union and the executive group, the first thing they do is to call a strike. Usually it only lasts a day or two before both sides can come to an agreement and we start work again. Anyhow, it's a nice, unanticipated holiday...

[Assistant] He is competent both in driving the lane and shooting jumpers, but what really makes him formidable is his ability to switch up and dribble with his left hand.

[User] Maybe he is not good ay rebounding?

[Assistant] indeed, no man can be perfect. He is just so-so in crashing the boards. Usually he plays shooting guard. Rebounding might not be his strong suit.

[User] Kobe came to Beijing during this summer's Olympics. Did you go to the match between China and USA?

[User] *Fists clench, eyes burning* Stephanie! Did you just get to school? But you were up and about when I left the dorm this morning! That was about an hour and a half ago. This happens all the time! Why do you always take so long?

[Assistant] It’s a skill. What can I say? I don’t know why, I just have a long routine.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* Please explain because it makes no sense to me. How can a girl’s routine be so complicated? You get up, you shower, you get dressed, you brush your teeth, you’re out the door. Half an hour, tops.

[Assistant] Jacob, you have the luxury of having a haircut that rarely needs styling. I don’t. I have to set aside about an hour and a half to get ready in the mornings. Every day, I wake up and head straight for the shower. Every second day, I wash my hair. If it’s a hair-washing day, I frequently need to wash my hair twice because it gets really oily. Then I usually put in a conditioner and have to rinse that out too. Because my hair is so long, I seldom manage to take a shower in under twenty minutes. Afterwards, I often put on a pot of coffee and get dressed while I wait for it to brew. I take a long time to get dressed in the morning. Every now and then I remember to choose my outfit the night before, but usually I do it in the morning. In all, getting dressed takes about half an hour, at which time my hair is now semi-dry so then I have to style my hair. From time to time I’ll put my hair up, butoften times I bloody it straight. And then, because of the texture of my hair, I regularly have to flat-iron it to keep it from frizzing. That’s another twenty minutes or so. After that, I have my daily makeup routine.

[User] True, I hardly ever see you without your hair done and your makeup on, even when you show up to class in sweatpants. Tell me, how long does it take you to choose that outfit in the morning?

[Assistant] Not funny.

[User] Veronica! Veronica! Veronica! Are you OK?

[Assistant] *Body freezes, shallow breaths* Steven! What’s going on! Who were those guys? I didn’t know you have a gun! What’s going on!

[User] I will come clean as soon as we get to safety, OK? For now, you have to trust me, please! I would never do anything to hurt you.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, face pale* Steven, I...

[User] I haven’t been completely honest with you Veronica, I’m sorry. I’m not a fireman. I’m not even from the United States. I’m a spy for the Indian government.

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* What? Why didn’ t you tell me before? What are you doing here?

[User] When I was a young boy, I used to play cricket my father back in my hometown of Hyderabad. It was a peaceful town, and my father was a renowned chemist. One day, he was approached by members of the CIA, claiming that my father had made the discovery of the millennium in his small lab back at the university where he taught bio-chemistry. I never saw him again. I vowed to discover the whereabouts of my father and consequently joined the Indian Intelligence Bureau.

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* What does that have to do with those men shooting at us? Most importantly, why did you lie to me!

[User] I’m sorry, I wasn’t supposed to meet you. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you, but you have to believe me when I tell you that what I feel for you is real.

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* I can’t believe this! Why are all these things happening to me! I can’t take it anymore! Let me out of the car!

[User] What happened?

[Assistant] I had a bad dream. I was walking alone in the graveyard, and suddenly all the ghosts jumped out of their graves. They began to chase me through the graveyard and shouted that they wanted my blood.

[User] Oh, what a nightmare! Then what happened?

[Assistant] My mother woke me up. She had heard me crying out for help.

[User] You have got a great mother.

[Assistant] I felt embarrased. After all, I am 18 years old. Mom gave me some chocolate cookies and a glass of milk.

[User] That sounds good!

[Assistant] Yeah, but i was afraid to fall back asleep. I am worrying about getting into the University of Michigan.

[User] Hey, Maris, are you a part-timer?

[Assistant] Part-timer? Is that a new buzzword?

[User] Oh, it’s pretty popular among my classmates these days. So are you?

[Assistant] Sure, I have a part-time job as a bartender.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Cool! It must be amazing to work at a bar!

[Assistant] Yeah, but I’m not there for fun. I have to remain professional and if I get distracted, the manager would be pretty upset.

[User] That’s true. I’m wondering did you learn anything from the job?

[Assistant] Of course. There’s always much to learn. I got to know more about the real world.

[User] You mean you got working experience, right?

[Assistant] Not just working experience. I would say the biggest lesson I learned is how to deal with people from all walks of life.

[User] It must be very demanding.

[Assistant] Sometimes it is. But after working for a few weeks, it’s easy to figure out.

[User] *Hands raised to face* Really? It sounds interesting.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Maybe you can come to the bar one day and I’ll show you around.
