[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* This is the first time for me to have a Chinese guest. I hope you like western cooking.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yes. I like it very much.

[User] Cooking is a hobby with me. I'm always trying to think up new recipes. I hope you like the soup. It's kind of a specialty of mine, so I hope you enjoy it.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* It's excellent.

[User] Thank you for your compliment. Won't you try this fish with white sauce? I'm rather round of it.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* It's delicious.

[User] What sort of western food do you like best?

[Assistant] I like beefsteak very much. Have you tried Chinese dishes?

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* I find the Chinese dishes wonderful.

[Assistant] Well, it's getting late. I have to get up early tomorrow. So I must say good night.

[User] What's that?

[Assistant] Could I get back the sweater you borrowed?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Thanks. My name's Bill Peters, by the way.

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Susan Jackson.

[User] Nice to meet you. And what do you do, Susan?

[Assistant] I'm a student at UCLA.

[User] Oh, are you? And what are you studying?

[Assistant] Medicine.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Really?

[Assistant] Yes, I want to be a doctor one of these days. What about you?

[User] So, Fred, what are your plans for after graduation?

[Assistant] Well, I've already got a job waiting for me back in my hometown.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* That's cool. Have you already found an apartment to live in?

[Assistant] I’m planning on living with my parents. Won't you?

[User] I couldn't even if I wanted to. My parents told me that if I went home, then I'd have to find my own place.

[Assistant] You mean they're kicking you out?

[User] Not really, they just don't want me living at home. My older sister did that, and she lived at home for seven years. Once she started living at home, it got harder and harder for her to move out.

[Assistant] Well, it's not like my parents want me to live at home the rest of my life. They said that it's ok if I move back home to begin with, but they want me to find a place of my own after a year or so.

[User] My parents just didn't handle my older sister very well, and because of that, they want me to be more independent. They think that it's important that I should learn how to live on my own.

[Assistant] I know I need to learn that myself, but I just don't have the money for it at the moment. Living at home allows me to save up some money before I started finding a place.

[User] Hmm. I'm afraid I can't make it on Monday. I've got to fly to Chicago on business.

[Assistant] Well unfortunately, I'm tied up on Tuesday. I'm supposed to have lunch with an important visitor from out of town, and I don't think there's any way I can get out of it.Are you free on Wednesday?

[User] Wednesday? Let me see. Hmm. Somehow I think I've already got something scheduled for Wednesday. Oh, yes! I've got an appointment with my dentist to have my teeth cleaned, and it's essential that I keep it.

[Assistant] Well, I'm afraid Thursday is out for me. I'm expected to attend a meeting of our personnel committee, and it's very important for me to be there.

[User] So, is L. A. all it's cracked up to be?

[Assistant] Well, the stereotype in the movies is that L. A. is a frivolous town with a lot of flaky people. I guess, in the back of my mind, that's what I expected.

[User] And, is it what you found?

[Assistant] Well, it is and it's not. The city of L. A. is much bigger and more diverse than I had expected. There are people here from all over the country and all over world, like New York. I've heard people say that in L. A., everyone is from somewhere else. Tha's partly true. So, I've met all kinds of people here. What I'm realizing is that the picture of L. A. that's in movies only represents a small segment of the city.

[User] I know you're right, but what can I do?

[Assistant] How about going for a walk instead of sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper after dinner every night?

[Assistant] I think less than 3 hours. This year I didn't watch any entertainment programs. Too many ads between the programs. I prefer listening to the radio.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yes. It was a friend’s birthday party. We drank all kinds of things-beer, wine and spirits. After midnight, we were even drinking cocktails!

[User] It’s a bad idea to drink a combination of alcoholic drinks. You should stick with one for the whole evening.

[Assistant] I know, but it was a celebration, you Kwon? I don’ t think I’ Ve see you drunk.

[User] I usually only drink beer and I rarely drink more than a few pints.

[Assistant] You are a sensible drinker. Anyway, I’m not going to drink any alcohol this evening. I don’t’ want another bad hangover.

[User] Let me buy you a soft drink then. How about a coke?

[Assistant] Yeah. That’s a good idea. I heard that coke was first used as a medicine.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Rally?... barman!...a large coke with ice and lemon, please...thanks. Here’s the money.

[Assistant] Are you going to the wine tasting tomorrow?

[User] Yes. I thought it might be interesting to learn a little about wine...

[Assistant] ...and taste a few! There will be wines from several countries and an expert to give advice on which wines are good and which ones are not.

[Assistant] What happened?

[User] We need to talk.

[Assistant] Okay...

[User] I’ Ve been thinking, and well, I think we need to start seeing other people.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* What? Why? I mean, we’ Ve had our ups and downs, and we have the occasional disagreement, but we’re happy together, aren’t we?

[User] That’s just it, I’m not happy anymore, Tim. It’s not you, it’s me. I know that I can be hard to deal with, and you are a great guy! You are the type of guythat any woman would kill for!

[Assistant] So, what are you saying? You’re breaking up with me because I’m perfect?

[User] Tim, you are too good for me. You deserve someone who can make you smile and make you happy the way that you made me happy. Oh, I could say that I’ll be all you need, but that would be a lie. I know I’d only hurt you, I know I’d only make you cry.

[Assistant] Baby, come on. Don’t do this to me! Whatever it is, we can work it out. Just give me another chance! I know that we can get through this, but we gotta stick together! Don’t leave me.

[User] I can’t, Tim. I hope someday you can find some way to understand I’m only doing this for you. I don’t really wanna go but, deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do.

[Assistant] Laura...

[Assistant] No. What?

[User] He got arrested on Friday night and spent the night in jail.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* No. Really, what happened?

[User] Well, it was all a big mistake, actually. He got home on Friday night really late, and apparently he'd been out drinking with some clients, so he was really drunk.

[Assistant] Was he out with the guys from the bank?

[User] Yes, I think so.

[Assistant] Oh, yeah, they always get really drunk.

[User] Well, anyway, he'd somehow lost his wallet and his house keys, so he couldn't get in. He lives alone, you know.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Oh, really. I thought he lived with his wife.

[User] No, she left him last year.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Oh, really? Do you know why?

[User] Hang on, let me finish telling you what happened. Where was I?

[Assistant] He lost his wallet and keys.

[User] Oh yes, well, he tried to climb in through the bathroom window, but apparently he slipped and broke the glass with his foot. The neighbors heard him and thought a robbery was in progress, so they called the police.

[Assistant] Oh, no.

[User] Yes. So when the cops arrived, they didn't believe his story.

[Assistant] So then what happened?

[User] Well, when he sobered up, he called someone from work to come and bail him out.

[Assistant] Well, that's a bit of a tricky situation.

[User] Whats your opinion about childless couples? Will you choose to have no kids?

[Assistant] To be honest, I wouldn't.

[User] Why? Do you have to make a choice now?

[Assistant] Not really. But it has puzzled me for a long time.

[User] What's the puzzle?

[Assistant] My husband and I prefer to have no kids, but my mother-in-law is very traditional and wants grandkids.

[User] Oh, I see. I think the older generation tend to think in a different way.

[Assistant] Yes. It seems she can never accept a childless marriage. We had a fight last night.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Oh, really? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren.

[Assistant] But it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not.

[User] Definitely.

[Assistant] You know, I often overhear our neighbor, the young couple, fighting about how to raise their kid and I really don't want kids to spoil our happiness.

[User] Don't worry. I think in most cases, children are the glue that keeps a family together.

[Assistant] I guess you're right. But I still prefer to have no child.

[User] You’re a big fan of Andy Lau, aren’t you?

[Assistant] Yes, I’ Ve been got all his albums and most of his films on DVD. I adore him. He’s my idol.

[User] How come you don’ t have all of his films on DVD?

[Assistant] Some of his early films are hard to find nowadays, especially the ones where he only played a bit part.

[User] I see. I’m sure you’ll find them one day. I see you also have several poster of him.

[Assistant] Yes. These posters are new. I bought them last week and put them up on my bedroom walls yesterday.

[User] Are you a member of his fan club?

[Assistant] I was, but then I discovered you can find out everything for free on the internet, so I’m not a member now.

[User] How did you enjoy your family party at “gangy’s”? I hear that they have a lovely menu and buffet.

[Assistant] Oh, it was great. We had seafood buffet. They do one every Friday. The waiters and waitresses are very good. They are very attentive, but don’t hang around the table.

[User] I like the buffets they have, but if often order a la carte, because I don’t feel extremely hungry. I like the wine list there too.

[Assistant] Yes, so do I. they have wines from all over the world. There is a good range of prices to suit every pocket. We ordered some Australian red wine, which tasted delicious and wasn’t expensive.

[User] Some restaurants allow you to take your own wine and just charge you corkage, but the don’ t do that at “girl’s”. what was included in the seafood buffet?

[Assistant] They had almost every kind of seafood. There were oyster, shrimp, prawns, crabs, and fish. I ate a lot of smoked salmon.

[User] Did they have lobster?

[Assistant] No, they didn’t. you could order it from the menu. I think that lobster is too expensive to be included in the buffet.

[User] Yes, it probably is. I don’ t like ordering oysters in restaurants. You never know whether they are fresh.

[Assistant] I know. I didn’t eat any, but a few people in our group did and no one got sick.

[User] When you eat out, do you usually eat from the buffet?

[Assistant] Not usually. I usually just order a main course and have a dessert if I’m still hungry afterwards.

[User] Oh, you don’ t usually have a starter?

[Assistant] No, I might have a soup if it’s a cold winter day.

[Assistant] It could be. There are floods in this country almost every year, but in recent years they have been more widespread and more frequent.

[User] It seems that the climate in this country is changing.

[Assistant] The summers are hotter. The last three summers have been the hottest for the past 200 years. There have also been stronger winds.

[User] I think that the changing climate is a sign that we are causing too much damage to the environment.

[Assistant] I think you’re right. Climate change naturally over time, but I think that human activities are speeding up the change. I wish that government would join together and try to resolve the problem.

[User] How? By drinking?

[Assistant] Drinking is just part of it. I mean, you have a bunch of friends coming by and having fun. You drink and talk. And the more you drink, the more you talk. It makes me so relaxed.

[User] When did you begin to drink?

[Assistant] It's a long time ago. When I first went to a bar to pick up girls there, I saw the most beautiful girl sitting and sipping a coke. Then I went up to her and said 'can I buy you a drink?'

[User] And then?

[Assistant] Then I talked to her and got her number. You know what? When you don't know what to say? Just drink.

[Assistant] I heard they were just married for 5 months.

[Assistant] yeah. Mixed marriage is tempting but crisis-ridden.

[User] you said it. You know, they fall in love at first sight and quickly jumped into marriage.

[Assistant] maybe they were just attracted to each other but too different to be married.

[User] yeah. We Chinese have quite different lifestyles and values from foreigners.

[Assistant] definitely. That's why many cross-cultural marriages end in divorce.

[User] I don't understand why some parents keep beefing and complaining about their daughters not being able to follow suit.

[Assistant] Yeah. Li Na's mother has been building a fire under her since her neighbour's daughter got married with a Canadian. She's almost driving Li Na crazy.

[User] If I were Li Na, I would ask her if she had done that.

[Assistant] She a as meek as a lamb. She never goes against anyone or anything. She's as good as gold, you know?

[User] Those are today’s top stories. Now let’s go to John for the weather. John, what does the forecast look like for our weekend travelers?

[Assistant] I’m afraid we’re in for a rough weekend, Mary. There is a storm system moving through the East Coast. It will be drizzling all day today, and there’s a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms this eve.

[User] That’s pretty chilly for the summer! Will it rain on Saturday?

[Assistant] Unfortunately, yes. It will be clear early Saturday morning but there is a high chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day. There is a severe thunderstorm warning for some parts of the Sout

[User] That certainly sounds like a dreary Saturday.

[Assistant] It gets better on Sunday, though. The storm systems move east and the skies will clear up at night. It will still be rather cool, with highs in the low 50s.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Really? I can't say I agree.

[User] Thanks. Smell the hickory chips? They give the meat a nice, smoky flavor.

[Assistant] I'll take over for a while to give you a break.

[User] Sorry. This is a one-man job. I've got the grill just how I like it, and I've made up my own special sauce.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* What? But it is my favorite piece of clothing.

[User] Maybe you should try to quit smoking. You know it is very bad for your health.

[Assistant] Well, sure it is. Actually, I have been cutting down the amount since two months ago. I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes for a single day. Now I limit it to 6 cigarettes a day.

[User] You have made a big progress. Quitting smoking is not an easy job. But it will be rewarding in the long run.

[User] Mr. Black has been getting a little on the side.

[Assistant] Really? I am surprised. He doesn't look like a guy who'd ever cheat on his wife, does he?

[User] No, he doesn't. Anyway, his wife found out that he has been two-timing for a long time.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Well, I am really surprised. By the way, have you done anything behind my back?

[User] I heard that janet has got a new job. She’s working for the united investment group. I hear that they pay very well.

[Assistant] I heard that too. She must be making a pocket. Well, good for her.

[User] now, she’ll be able to save up for that holiday in the united states.

[Assistant] yes, she will. At the moment, the exchange rate is very favorable, so she should try to go as soon as possible, while it’s cheaper.

[User] you’re right. By the way, did you hear that tom inherited some money recently?

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* really? I thought his parents had died several years ago.

[User] they did. He inherited the money form an uncle. I hope he doesn’t lose a lot of it in taxed to the government.

[Assistant] dying can be very expensive nowadays! What’s he going to do with it?

[User] he said that he would probably invest most of it. He’s got a well-paid job, so he doesn’t need the money to cover day-to day expenses. He just wants some extra money available for when he retires.

[Assistant] I had some good financial news yesterday too.

[User] *Hands raised to face* really? Have you won a fortune in the lottery?

[Assistant] no, but I got a pay rise of 5% and a hours for all the hard work I’ Ve put in recently. I think it was very nice for my boss to show his appreciation in that way.

[User] You haven't spent much time with Sophia lately. Are you speaking to each other at the moment?

[Assistant] No, we're not. We've been drifting apart for a while.

[User] But you two used to do everything together. I thought you really enjoyed each other's company.

[Assistant] We did, but since she started her new job, all she does is hang out with her new friends from work.

[User] Can't you hang out with them, too?

[Assistant] I could, but all they ever talk about is work, so I always end up feeling left out.

[User] Maybe you should invite her over for dinner, so it's just the two of you.

[Assistant] I tried that a few weeks ago and she ended bringing a pal from work with her! She's so busy these days that it's just impossible to hang out with her.

[User] It can't be that bad. She was always a really good friend to you.

[Assistant] You're right. She would never talk about me behind my back or hold a grudge. But she just doesn't seem very interested in our friendship anymore.

[User] She's probably just excited about her new job. You should give her some time. It would be a shame to lose such a good friend.

[Assistant] I've given her enough time. I'm over it now.

[User] I still think you two should try to patch things up.

[Assistant] I think I just have to accept the fact that it's time for us to go our separate ways.

[User] Hey! How was your first day of class? I’m in level two and I’m loving my class this semester! It’s great being in a class of international students!

[Assistant] Mine was ok, except that no one in my class speaks English. I guess it will force me to converse in Chinese more in class so at least I should improve a lot this semester.

[User] That’s both fortunate and unfortunate. It’s the United Nations in my class! We have people from all over the world! There are three Germans, a Pole, a Scottish, two French, an American, a Brazilian, a Chilean, a New Zealander, though he prefers to call himself a Kiwi. Who else do we have? Oh, we also have a Moroccan, a Togolese, a Pakistani, and two Indonesians!

[Assistant] That’s quite the array of nationalities. Everyone in my class is from Asia, except me. There are a few South Koreans, several Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, Singaporean, Filipino, Kazakhstan, and one Russian.

[User] Well, I think you’re pretty lucky actually. You’ll have the opportunity to learn so much about Asian culture.

[Assistant] I guess so, but I think it’s going to be hard to relate to my classmates, especially with the language barrier. I think I might change classes.

[User] Don’t! Stay the course! Your spoken Chinese will be eternally grateful. I bet you it will even surpass mine with all that practice.

[Assistant] Yes, but I didn't really like the third one at all.

[User] That's the Return of the King, right?

[Assistant] Yeah. Even though the customs were brilliant, I didn't think it was as good as the first two. What did you think?

[User] I thought the special effects were amazing, but I got a bit confused. The plot was too complicated for me.

[Assistant] Did you read the books before you watched the movies?

[User] No. did you?

[Assistant] Yes, I've read them many times. I think it's much easier to follow for people who were already familiar with all the characters.

[User] Yes, trying to keep track of all the characters was quite confusing for me.

[Assistant] I also think that it was much better in the theatre than at home.

[User] Most movies are. Another problem for me was the film was dubbed in German with English subtitles.

[Assistant] That happens a lot in non-English speaking countries.

[User] Sure, I think I know the place.

[Assistant] Well, anyway, I made a beeline over to their office, had an interview with the manager, and was told to start work the next day.

[User] Alright. Do you have a coin?

[Assistant] Yes. Here's a quarter. I flip it, you call it in the air.

[User] Heads.

[Assistant] Sorry, it's tails. You lose.

[User] Oh, well. So you get the bottom bunk. What about our stereos? It looks like we both brought our stereos. Probably we only have room for one.

[Assistant] Your stereo is better than mine. Do you mind if we use yours?

[User] No, I don't mind. I just don't know where we can put the speakers in this tiny room.

[Assistant] Probably we can put one on that counter. And we can put one on the floor by the bed. Over there.

[User] Alright. That's a good plan. What about the desks? We have two desks, one by the window and one by the door? Which one do you want?

[Assistant] Well, the desk by the window is nicer, of course. Don't you think?

[User] Yes, I agree.

[Assistant] So since I got the bottom bunk, why don't you get the desk by the window? That would be more fair.

[User] Alright.

[Assistant] I mean, we could flip a coin for it, but I would probably win again. I'm incredibly lucky you know. Especially with girls.

[User] Is that right?

[Assistant] Yes, that's right.

[User] Well, I hope you let me hang out with you then. Maybe I can learn from you.

[Assistant] Oh, certainly. Certainly. I'm always willing to help beginners.Just call me Big Brother Dave.

[User] *Covering nose and mouth, repelled* Are all lucky people so stuck up?

[Assistant] C'mon, don't take it seriously! I'm just kidding.

[Assistant] Actually, this is a kind of addiction called 'infomania' or 'information overload'.
