[User] what happen to all the leftover food?

[Assistant] it usually goes to the dump.

[User] *Fists clench, eyes burning* that seems like an awful waste! Why don't people order fewer dishes so that they don't have to throw so much away at the end of the meal?

[Assistant] ordering a lot of food at restaurants is just a tradition in China. You know, in the past, people could not afford to eat out like they can today.

[User] I guess that makes sense. I just think it would make more sense to take the leftovers home.

[Assistant] well, if you want, you can take the leftovers home.

[User] no, that's OK. You know what they say when in Rome...

[Assistant] I was impressed that you tried the pig's feet. I heard that many foreigners don't like to eat them.

[User] many people in my generation don't eat pig's feet, but my parents grew up eating them, so I think they are OK.

[Assistant] Hello. Is there anything I can do for you?

[User] Yes, please. I'd like to open a savings account. Would you please give me some advice?

[Assistant] Certainly, I'll be very happy to help you. Usually we offer current or fixed accounts for individuals.

[User] What is the difference between the two?

[Assistant] If you open a fixed account, the interest rate is higher.

[User] Then how about the current account?

[Assistant] You may withdraw the money at any time. You just need to present your deposit book.

[User] Thank you for your help. I think I'll open a current account.

[Assistant] OK. Do you have your ID card on you?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] Good. Everything is done. Here is your deposit book and ID card.

[User] Thank you very much.

[Assistant] It's my pleasure.

[Assistant] Nah, I just check my weight, I'm getting fatter.

[User] True, you are getting a really pot belly, aren't you?

[Assistant] I'll get you for that comments, George.

[User] Just kidding, M. Why don't you come work out with me?

[Assistant] ah, I don't know a fit works. Last time, all I saw the gym were bunch of lidos, like me.

[User] It works if you keep at it. Come on, let's go!

[Assistant] All right. But so help me it better work.

[User] This feels great. I'm all reed up. I can keep going all night.

[User] I want to have a try later.

[Assistant] Me too. Daniel, look at your left side. Can you see the Air Force Ants?

[Assistant] I enjoyed it, even though I had not asked for it.

[User] I ordered a sandwich there before.

[User] Well, I would be happy to assist you in choosing the perfect gift for her. Is there anything particular that you have in mind?

[Assistant] No, not really... I’m completely at a loss.

[User] Well, you can give her a set of pearl earrings, or this beautiful heart-shaped pendant. What is her favorite gemstone?

[Assistant] That purple one. I’m sorry... I’ve never bought jewellery for anyone and I’m kind of nervous.

[User] Don’ t worry, we specialize in providing our customers a relaxed, pressure-free shopping environment. That stone is an amethyst. We have a range of beautiful amethyst pieces. Take a look at this bracelet. It’ s 18K rose-gold, studded with amethyst and blue topaz. It’ s a great statement piece.

[Assistant] Jess? Well, she’s very smart, and has a great sense of humor. She’s very feminine...

[User] Perhaps you could give her a ring?

[Assistant] Well...actually... I was thinking about asking Jess to marry me...I’ Ve just been so nervous.

[User] Patent? Are you also learning something about patent?

[Assistant] Yep! I heard that your company is registering a new trademark.

[User] You are well-informed. Can tell me something about the Patent Law in our country from the book you are reading?

[Assistant] I just read this in the whole afternoon. Let me show you.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* So coincidental. Actually we can exchange some information on this problem.

[Assistant] The purpose of the law is to protect and encourage inventions and to promote the development of science and technology. The law came into effect in 1984, and it consists of 8 chapters with 69 articles.

[User] Is there any provision on applying for the patent for foreign company?

[Assistant] Foreign companies should appoint a patent agency, which is designated by our government to act as his patent agent. This task is usually taken by the Patent Agent Department.

[User] How long is the duration of patent right for an invention according to your Patent Law?

[Assistant] 15 years.

[Assistant] Em, as I have said, I'm diligent and industrious. On the other hand, sometimes I'm too hard-working and I put myself under too much pressure to make things perfect.

[User] What qualities would you expect of persons working as a team?

[Assistant] To work in a team, in my opinion, two characteristics are necessary for a person. That is, the person must be cooperative and aggressive.

[User] How do you spend your leisure time?

[Assistant] I like playing games and having sports. They are my favourite hobbies.

[User] So, what kind of sport do you like most?

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* I swear I will never shop at a street market in China. It's a terrible place full of excellent profiteers! You have to keep an eye whenever it comes to paying for something.

[Assistant] cool down, Harry! What are you really mad about? Did you get ripped off?

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* yes. Last Sunday I went to a nearby market. It was on open-air fair. I chanced upon this bag and bought it on the spot, without even trying to strike a bargain. I paid one hundred and twenty. And just now I was told by my Chinese colleagues I bought it overpriced. I could have talked my way to thirty.

[Assistant] is that so? I'm afraid people here will not take pity on unlucky guys like you. Bargaining has always been an indispensable procedure in business deals. It's the norm of free trade. The seller sets a preposterous price, and the buyer tries his best to bring it down, until a compromise is reached. Yet you ignored the process. No wonder you ended up easy prey.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* but don't you think it annoying to overcharge the customers by such a handsome margin?

[Assistant] of course, that's something really irritating. And the only way to avoid being trapped is to know in advance about the real worth of the stuff. I recommend you to consult the price tags in the supermarket first. And then you may negotiate for a fair deal.

[Assistant] Sure, we have several different styles you may choose. How high of a heel do you want?

[User] Not to high, maybe an inch or an inch in the half would be the best.

[Assistant] In that case, I might have just the pair for you. Look at these, they were made in Italy, the leather is very soft, so your toes will not get pinched. You can tell just by looking at it that it was superbly made.

[User] Those are beautiful. Do you have any in a size six?

[Assistant] Yes, we do, we also have this same style in dark blue and red.

[User] No, thank you. I'm just looking for a black pair.

[User] I don’ t need that long to make up my mind. If your prices are agreeable and if I can get the commission I want, I can place the order right away.

[Assistant] I’m sure you’ll find our price most favorable. Elsewhere prices for hardware have gone up tremendously in recent years. Our prices haven’t changed much.

[User] I’m glad to hear that. As I’ve just said, I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.

[Assistant] We shall be very pleased. Is there anything else I can do for you, Mrs. Anderson?

[User] I’m buying for chain department stores in Canada. They are also interested in Egyptian carpets. Could you introduce me to the person in charge of this line?

[User] Let's see how much the bill is.

[Assistant] Don't worry about it. Tonight is my treat.

[User] What are you talking about? We'll split the bill.

[Assistant] No, I insist. I kept telling you that I would treat you to dinner but I still haven't.

[User] No way, Gordon. I know that you are a little short on cash at the moment. There's no need for you to pay for the whole bill.

[Assistant] Alright, if that's the way you are going to be, we'll split the bill.

[User] That's better. This way we will both have money to take a cab home, otherwise, you would probably have to walk.

[User] I'm sorry to hear that. This room is at the end of the corridor. It's possible that the noise is heard early in the morning when everything is quiet.

[Assistant] Anyhow, I'd like to change my room.

[User] I'm awfully sorry, Miss. I do apologize. We'll manage it, but we don't have any spare room today. Could you wait till tomorrow? A tour company will be leaving tomorrow morning. There'll be some rooms for you to choose from.

[User] Because he takes after you, he's got into trouble again.

[Assistant] What did he do this time? I remember last time he was painting her fence to repay her for breaking it, and he accidentally painted her cat.

[User] That was last time. This time it's worse.

[Assistant] Ok, tell me.

[User] Well, he was playing baseball with some friends...

[Assistant] And the ball went through her window? That's not as bad as last time.

[User] True, but that's not all. The ball went through the window and hit the vase she has in her front window...

[Assistant] Ok, that's probably expensive, but not that bad.

[User] And then, ricocheted off her fish bowl. Mrs. Fitzgerald at the last minute dived and saved her fish.

[Assistant] At least the fish were saved. If that's the end of the damages, then everything isn't that bad.

[User] Stop interrupting me. Finally, the ball flew through the air and knocked out Willie's school principal, who was having a cup of coffee with Mrs. Fitzgerald.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Yeah. Each style is specially designed by world's top designers. So they can always make you look amazing.

[User] I see. Come here. The high heels here look really attractive. But I wonder whether it's comfortable to wear any of them?

[Assistant] Not really, especially at the beginning, if you wear high heels all day long, your feet would hurt. But, no big deal. Women can always get used to that.

[User] It's not a simple thing to be beautiful.

[Assistant] Sure. But everyone loves to be beautiful. Hey, do you think this pair of sunglasses matches the handbag well?

[User] *Hands raised to face* Yeah, very tasteful. And with them, you look even more fashionable. Oh, there are so many French perfumers. Oops, perfumes for guys? So strange!

[Assistant] Come on. Fashion is not only for women. Men also share the equal right to chase fashion. It's the new fashion for men to wear perfumes, which is called cologne.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Oh, really, that's really something new. I'm afraid not everyone can accept it.

[Assistant] It takes time for that. But people's consuming attitudes are changing quickly.

[User] That's true. Well, it's obvious that fashion is not a cheap thing. So, do you spend all your money on it?

[Assistant] No. Fashion is just part of my life, which improves its quality. But also, I'm good at financing. I have a credit card, but I never overdraft.

[User] How it that you are my mom's sis? You two are so different. She always picks up bargains and spends more than she earns. You do so much better than her.

[Assistant] Do you want to send it by ordinary or registered mail?

[User] By ordinary air mail, please.

[Assistant] Anything of value in it?

[User] A postal order for four hundred dollars.

[Assistant] In that case, you'd better have it registered.

[User] Will I be informed when my friend gets the letter?

[Assistant] Yes, when your friend gets it, he'll sign a receipt, which will be sent to you by mail. Then you can be sure it's been received.

[Assistant] I realize that but I needed to make a decision.

[User] Excuse me.

[Assistant] Yes, sir. Can I help you?

[User] Um, this steak, I asked for to be medium rare.

[Assistant] Medium rare, that’s right, sir. I remember your order.

[User] Well, I’m afraid it isn’t. It’s a bit too well done and rather tough. Would you mind changing?

[Assistant] If it is not to your satisfaction, I’ll certainly bring you another. But I’m afraid you may have to wait for a few minutes.


[System] This is a discussion on normal, everyday things. Take on the role of the person the user is speaking with, and feel free to invent details to keep it real. Just keep it casual.

[User] Employees in this company have to have a good command of English. Do you think you are proficient in both written and spoken English?

[Assistant] Yes, I think I am quite proficient in both written and spoken English.

[User] Well, then, please tell me about your English education.

[Assistant] I have been studying English since junior high school. And I majored in English in college.

[User] I see, do you speak any other languages?

[Assistant] Yes, I speak a little French and Japanese.

[User] You must be very busy these days. I heard you are responsible for the meeting arrangements this time. It can be the most important meeting for our company this year.

[Assistant] Sure it is. I am up to my ears as time expressed.

[User] Do we still use the conference room in the same hotel as last time? You remember? I like that one.

[Assistant] If we were in the same conference room, I would not work late these days. That conference room has been booked out. This time our boss wants to hold the meeting in our company. So everything has to be rearranged and checked, like tables, chairs, mean tacks, podium, audio and visual equipments and even the lunch menu.

[User] (Having lunch with Joseph) Have you ever been invited to a Chinese feast?

[Assistant] Sure. Beijingers are distinguished for their warmth and hospitality.

[User] As far as you could see, is dining at a Chinese table a distinct experience? To what extent does it differ from that in your homeland?

[Assistant] To begin with, I have to use chopsticks.

[User] But you look quite proficient in using them now.

[Assistant] Certainly. After all, I've been here for two years. It's not much uphill work for a foreigner to get used to Chinese dinner utensils. Though, I do feel hazy about how to behave appropriately at a Chinese dinner table.

[User] Yes, table etiquette. There are a multitude of rules that foreigners might never know until they were told. Some practices even appear somewhat awkward or rude to Westerners, while they are the norm in China. Hey, your chopsticks, old silly! You should not stab them vertically into the rice bow!

[Assistant] Anything strange about that?

[User] Maybe you should have placed them horizontally over your bowl or plate. They resemble two incense sticks used at sacrifices. It's very inauspicious, and might enrage all present.

[Assistant] Oh, sorry! There's a long story even with a mere pair of sticks.


[System] This conversation is centered around daily life. Respond as if you're the person the user is engaging with, adding details to stay in character but ensuring you sound natural.

[User] Do you two know each other?

[Assistant] Yeah, we were classmates when I was in university.

[User] I want to send this small parcel to Canada.

[Assistant] By airmail or seamail?

[User] How different are these rates?

[Assistant] Your parcel weights 420 grams. So it is 21.3 dollars by air, or 6.9 dollars by sea.

[User] How long it will take by sea?

[Assistant] About a month.

[User] Then, by sea, please.

[Assistant] Please fill out this form, and then take your parcel to the counter on my left-hand side.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* All right. Thank you very much.

[User] We'd like some local-flavored pastry. Can you recommend some?

[Assistant] How about some Zongzi?

[User] What is that?

[Assistant] Well, it's a pyramid-shaped dumpling made from glutinous rice wrapped in reed leaves.

[User] That sounds appealing. OK, we will have that.

[Assistant] Do you want some stuffed bun? It's delicious, too.

[User] OK. We will try some.

[Assistant] Anything else?

[User] No, it's enough.

[User] Could tell me more about it?

[Assistant] Of course. One of the real pluses of this product is that it is of very high quality, and of compact size. No one can match us so far as quality is concerned.
