[User] it reflects some of our difficulties in this ever-changing world.

[Assistant] you said it. You know, the divorce rate has been on the rise in recent years.

[User] well, it's said that a lot of young people favor getting married quickly which tend end quickly too.

[Assistant] I know a couple who divorced a week after getting married.

[User] oh, that's too short-lived.

[Assistant] that's true. It's said the short-lived marriage is typical of the post-80s generation.

[User] I can't agree more. The only-child generation in China tends to know little about marriage.

[Assistant] definitely. They don't take relationships and marriages very seriously.

[User] in their mind, love is nothing but passion and marriage is over once the passion is gone.

[Assistant] I think, as the saying goes as the saying goes haste makes waste, it is the same thing with marriage.

[Assistant] *Lips quiver, tears held back* I've searched everywhere. Where on earth did I put it?

[User] Don't get upset over it. At least you have another week to go.

[Assistant] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* I have been working on it for a whole month and it's too late to write another. Just think of all my hard work that goes for nothing. How could I do such a thing?

[User] Cheer up! What I meant was that you can find it sometime during a week. There is no need to write a new one. Oh, what's this? Is this your dissertation?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Let me see. Yes, that's it. Where did you find it?

[User] You’ Ve put it among these journals.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* My poor memory. Thank you very much.

[User] Where's Bill? The ambassador is already here. The meeting is set to start at 9am.

[Assistant] He's late again. Traffic is probably holding him up. You know, he commutes from the suburbs. It's not easy commuting every day. We should cut him some slack.

[User] Even though the traffic is bumper-to-bumper out there, I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late. He takes the train, remember?

[Assistant] Oh, that's right. Well, the train shouldn't be late. That means there is only one explanation... Bill must have overslept.

[User] Well, to be fare, since he's coming all the way from Lancaster, he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us. He must get start on his commute about six thirty, no telling what time he actually gets up.

[Assistant] That's right, because he's got to get to the train station from his house, then take the blue line into the city, then switch trains to the red line. In all, the trip's got to take more than 2 hours.

[User] Why doesn't he just drive to work?

[Assistant] It's too difficult to park your car in the city. Also, the traffic coming in from the suburbs is a nightmare.

[User] Well, the books are in the box. What can I do now?

[Assistant] Take the magazines out of the bookcase. Put them in that box.

[User] All right.

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* Peter! Pack them. Don't read them.

[User] These magazines are interesting. May I borrow one?

[Assistant] Of course.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Have we sold out all the newspapers for today?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Yes. What a good job we have done!

[User] Why are so many extra gifts left here?

[Assistant] Many customers didn't want them.

[User] How about giving them to that old man?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Good idea.

[User] By the way, do you think it's a good idea to give free gifts to attract customers?

[Assistant] I'm not sure, but still it did attract a large crowds today.

[User] I think it should be more useful to hand out some fliers which is also cheaper.

[Assistant] But people can just throw them into the trash can as they turn around.

[User] That's true.

[User] *Body freezes, shallow breaths* You think it's funny. I'm terrified.

[Assistant] Don't worry. It's safe.

[User] *Flinches at every sound* But I've never jumped off anything in my life. The highest thing I've jumped off is my bed. I'm scared.

[Assistant] You are the one who wanted to come here, Sandy. You should enjoy it.

[User] *Legs tremble, posture crouched* I guess I'm adventuresome, but then I'm scared too.

[Assistant] I'm not too scared. But I've done sky diving before.

[User] Did you ever see this kind of beautiful scene?

[Assistant] Of course, my father used to take me to Kiang Shan or somewhere like that as a child.

[User] But my father did not. He didn't have much time.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Honey, I'm sorry. I promise you, this summer vacation, I will take you to Huang-Shan Mountains. It is more beautiful and magnificent.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Really? It's a deal. Have you ever been there?

[Assistant] Yes, I went there five years ago. You were still a baby at that time.

[User] It really gets me interested. Is it higher than Kiang Shan?

[Assistant] Surely. You can enjoy the beauty of numerous streams and waterfalls. The sea of clouds has a fairy tale beauty.

[User] Can I see the rainbow?

[User] For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up?

[Assistant] Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your schedule?

[User] I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve. Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch.

[Assistant] Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal?

[User] Yes, we'll start with appetizers, follow with a soup and salad course, then main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken, and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort.

[Assistant] That'll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal, don't you think?

[User] As along as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be okay.

[Assistant] With your prime rib and chicken choices, you'd better hope nobody's vegetarian.

[Assistant] Certainly, where will you be coming from?

[User] I need to be in the city centre this afternoon so I will be coming straight from there.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Ok. Take the Underground (the Circle line) to High Street Kensington. Make sure you take the High Street Kensington exit.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Got that.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Ok - when you leave the Underground, cross the road and you should see Horntown Street. Was up that street to the crossroads. As you was you should see a fast food place on your right.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Hold on, I am looking at the map now. Ok, I can see Horntown Road. Do I go straight at the intersection?

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* No, you need to turn left into Philimore Was and take the next right.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Ok, I can see that road.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* That's fine. You will not miss it because it's just next to the Kensington centra Library.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* You’re so lucky! Do you have to do many things before you leave?

[User] Yes. I’ll be very busy! I have to get a visa, buy a plane ticket, and pack my things. But first, I want to register for classes.

[Assistant] When can you do that?

[User] Well, they sent me their prospectus, so I can start looking now. do you want to help me decide which classed to take?

[Assistant] Sure. What can you choose from?

[User] Well, I have to take all the fundamental course, plus a few from my major.

[Assistant] What is your major?

[User] I hope to major in English literature, but the admissions counselor told me that many people change their major many times in their first year, so we’ll see.

[Assistant] What are the fundamental course?

[User] In order to graduate, every student must take a certain amount of classes in history, math, English, philosophy, science and art.

[Assistant] Interesting. That’s very different from the Chinese education system.

[User] Yes, it is. It’s also very different from the British education system.

[Assistant] Really it depends on my mood. When I am sad or depressed, I like comedies. If I'm feeling good, I'll watch almost anything.

[User] I see. I generally like movies to help calm me down. I think a sign of a good movie is the ability to bring you into the story as if you were part of it.

[Assistant] Yeah, unfortunately, nowadays directors are often more interested in making money than making a good film.

[User] True. The movie industry is becoming more and more commercial. You see a lot of expensive movies with little artistic value. I generally think those made in the forties are of higher quality on the average than movies today. You can name a lot of classics from that decade.

[Assistant] Nice try. I wasn't born yesterday, you know.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I'm dead serious. They've decided that it's too small to be a planet, but actually they haven't yet agreed on how big something has to be in order to be a planet anymore.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* That sounds crazy. But they can't just change their mind about things like that.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes, they can. If you remember correctly, people used to believe that the world was flat.

[Assistant] I suppose you're right. They also used to think that they were so important that the sun revolved around them, not the other way around.

[User] We actually know relatively little about space and the cosmos.

[User] That was a short relationship. You only started dating 2 months ago.

[Assistant] It was actually a long two months. She was a psycho.

[User] What do you mean?

[Assistant] She would be laughing one moment, and if I said something insensitive, she would start crying. I didn't want to deal with that.

[User] She sounds very emotional.

[Assistant] She was a psycho, man. One time we were suppose to get together. I was waiting for her call, and when she finally called, she was screaming why I wasn't at her place.

[User] Were you suppose to be there?

[Assistant] I thought she was going to call when she was done shopping. It was a misunderstanding. She was literally screaming on the phone over this.

[Assistant] *Jaw tightens, pacing* why ere you getting off work so late? The office close at six, doesn’t it?

[User] Yes. But those are the rush in that moment. And my boss ask me to do some urgent letters.

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* Didn’t you tell him you have an appointment?

[User] *Hands fidget, deep sigh* Well, no. I thought I ‘Ve finish in five minutes. and I didn’t want to be difficult about just few minutes, if I hadn’t been missing the bus and in the traffic I wouldn’t have been so late. I’m sorry.

[Assistant] sure I am. I work for myself, but I've rented a virtual office at an office building in the downtown area.

[User] a virtual office?

[Assistant] yeah, an office that runs efficiently by using nothing other than online communication technologies. I pay the rent and share office services with others in the same building.

[User] what kind of services do they offer?

[User] sounds fun.what else?

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* I expected that something might get broken. That doesn’t bother me. That spilled drink won’t leave a stain, will it?

[Assistant] I doubt it, I'll deal with it right away. Luckily it wasn’t a glass of red wine, I’ll just get a bowl of water and a cloth.

[User] I’m going to put all the rubbish into this big plastic bag.

[Assistant] Afterwards, we can do the washing up together. Everything will be finished within an hour. Your friend Keith is really funny. I liked his magic tricks.

[Assistant] Amanda told some very funny jokes. At the beginning of the party, she was being very serious.

[User] I think that she had a litter too much of the punch.

[Assistant] What did you put in that punch? It tasted great, but was quite strong.

[User] That’s my little secret. Did you like the snacks that I prepared?

[Assistant] Very much. The birthday cake was delicious, wasn’t it? Emily told me that she and karen made it themselves.

[User] That cake tasted so good! It disappeared within minutes, so I think everyone liked it a lot. How’s that stain?

[Assistant] All cleaned up. Are you ready to start on the washing up?
