[User] Why are there still so many people overweight despite the current fitness craze?

[Assistant] Well, there are certain factors that effect people's size and weight.

[User] What are they?

[Assistant] One study said that low-income groups have a higher percentage of over-weight people than higher income families.

[User] Why?

[Assistant] The survey said that the low, income groups eat more junk food on a daily basis.

[User] That makes sense. Probably less time to make dinner and the junk food is cheaper.

[Assistant] And junk food contains lots of fat and oil. There is one final reason why so many people are fat.

[User] What's that?

[Assistant] Nobody exercises any more-not even kids! The average American home has the TV on for 6 hours a day!

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Wow! No wonder people are so fat. Say, Carl, looks like you could be doing a bit more exercising.

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess so.

[User] You should consider eating healthier food and getting some more exercise.

[Assistant] Hey, I started a diet and lost 10 pounds.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* So what happened?

[Assistant] Well, I quit and gained it back plus 5 pounds.

[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] Did you hear what's going on downtown today? All the orders from the factory are staging a demonstration in the streets. Not one of the two thousand employees showed up for work today, and they have gathered outside the city hall to demand better working conditions for all factory employees.

[Assistant] Wow, sounds chaotic... two thousand people in the streets carrying picket signs and shouting slogans. What gave them the motivation to finally organize and call management on the substandard working conditions?

[User] I think they gained courage after the mayor's speech last week on equality and opportunity for all town citizens. Anyway, the sentiments have been brewing for quite some time. I mean, we all know the working conditions at the factory are quite horrendous.

[Assistant] So what kind of demands do they have? What are they asking for specifically?

[User] Hi, Peter. I’m afraid I can’t make it to dinner tomorrow night.

[User] I don't agree with you. It's too small to live.

[Assistant] It has fresh air, and it is nicer than a big town.

[User] I disagree, a big town is more lively.

[Assistant] But I like the small mountain village. The big town is noisy. How charming it is when walking along the hill!

[User] what's 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] *Posture slouched, slow movements* yes. It seems she can never accept a childless marriage. We had a fight last night.

[User] 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] How much did you bid?

[Assistant] Eighty-five dollars. If my bid is the highest after three more days, I win! It's fun!

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* We'll see how much fun it is after they take all your money!!

[Assistant] But they won't! I checked the seller's history, and he got good reviews from other buyers.

[User] What if he had his friends fake the reviews?

[Assistant] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* You are so paranoid! Not everybody is a crook, you know.

[Assistant] There you go.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* I don't think that you're done.

[Assistant] What's wrong?

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* My hair looks hideous.

[Assistant] What's so bad about it?

[User] *Arms crossed, body tense* It doesn't look good at all.

[Assistant] Sorry about that.

[Assistant] I'm worried, Tom. I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* I know. This is terrible. What can we do? This snow doesn't stop falling!

[Assistant] I told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here?

[User] I wanted to show you the cabin. We only had another half-hour to go.

[Assistant] Well, now we're stuck. What can we do?

[User] I don't know.

[Assistant] I've heard that when this happens, it's important to save energy.

[User] What do you mean?

[Assistant] We're stranded here, Tom. We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car. The car's energy is what will keep us warm.

[User] I have plenty of gas.

[Assistant] Yes, but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do, it will die soon. Then we'll freeze.

[User] So what can we do?

[Assistant] Turn the lights off.Then, run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Alright. That's a good idea.

[Assistant] I wish we hadn't come up here. Now we'll probably be here for days.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Days?

[Assistant] Yes, it happens.That is what happens in big snowstorms. People get stranded for days.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Oh, my God! It's good we have food.

[Assistant] Probably we'll survive.But turn the car off for about forty-five minutes. Then we'll turn it on again.

[Assistant] Maybe you are right. But the major is not fit for me. I like architecture more than computers.

[User] But this chance is really precious.

[Assistant] Well, I know. So I am thinking now.

[Assistant] My mom phoned me this morning, and asked me to go back home to have housework chores.

[User] What are you assigned to do?

[Assistant] God knows. Speaking of chores, I would rather do some washing than cooking.

[User] For me, I think I will iron my shirt and trousers. Actually, weekends tend to be the most hectic day in the whole week.

[User] I want to stop off at my apartment to get changed so I should be there by 9pm.

[Assistant] OK, can I bring a date with me?

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Certainly. But if there are going to be four of us, I had better make reservations.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes. that is a very good idea. It would be a shame if we could not find a place to sit.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Then I'II make reservations for 9pm for a party of four.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I'll be there. Oh, is there a cover charge at the bar?

[User] Have you ever seen Bill Gate's home on the internet?

[Assistant] No. what's it like?

[User] It's got its own library, theatre, swimming pool, and a guest house. The house itself has about ten different rooms that are all hooked up to computers so you can get things done in each room through a remote control. It's also located near the sea, so he can park his boats next to his house. It's absolutely amazing!

[Assistant] Would you want to live there?

[User] I think his house is fantastic, but I wouldn't want to live there. You would have to hire one or two people to clean all the rooms in the house, plus a few people to take care of the gardens, and probably an au pair or two to take care of the children. It's just too big of a place to take care of on your own.

[Assistant] What's your dreamhole like then?

[User] My dream home is actually just a small cottage in a quiet village in England.

[Assistant] Would you want to buy an old cottage or build a new one yourself?

[User] Old homes are great because they've got character. I think that's important.

[Assistant] Is that why you wear second-hand clothes as well? Because they've got character?

[User] No, that's just because I don't have enough money to buy new cloths all the time!

[User] I visited the famous variety show host, Dennis.

[Assistant] What's he like?

[User] Oh, he's a very serious person.

[Assistant] You must feel very uneasy at his home.

[User] Lily, do you know Lizzy?

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Lizzy who?

[User] Lizzy smith.

[Assistant] Of course I do.

[User] Then, Do you know her younger sister?

[Assistant] You mean Mary?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] Sure. I know her elder sister Sue and younger sister Mary.

[User] Oh, not bad. Then do you know her mother?

[Assistant] Yes, certainly. I know her mother and father, and brother and sisters, too.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That sounds terrific.

[Assistant] Why do you ask me these questions?

[User] This place serves good breakfasts, don't you think?

[Assistant] Yes. But I'm not used to eating American-style breakfast.

[User] What are you planning to do today?

[Assistant] I saw yesterday that they rent windsurfers at the beach. I want to rent one.

[User] Have you done windsurfing before?

[Assistant] No, but it looks fun. I always wanted to try it.

[User] Can you take a little advice from a friend?

[Assistant] Sure. What?

[User] Don't waste your money. Windsurfing is very hard. And it will be windy today.They will charge you fifty dollars for a half-hour, and you won't be able to windsurf.You will fall and fall and fall.

[Assistant] But I always wanted to try it.

[User] Yes, but it takes a long time to learn.You would spend a thousand dollars to learn it on a rental windsurfer.

[Assistant] Well, I will see. How was your day at the office?


[System] This conversation is focused on day-to-day life. Act as the person the user is speaking to and make up details as necessary, but keep everything natural and believable.

[User] I don’t know what I’m going to do! It’s going to be impossible to make ends meet if I lose my job!

[Assistant] Don’t worry. I don't think you’re going to lose your job over one mistake.

[User] It was a rather big mistake. When you work as an investment adviser, one small mistake can cost the company millions.

[Assistant] But it wasn’t just you who was involved, right? You were only doing what your supervisor told you to do.

[User] That’s true, but my supervisor is very dishonest. There’s no reason he needs to tell our boss the truth. I’m sure he will tell our boss that it was all my fault, and there’s nothing I can do about that. My boss won’t believe me if I tell him the truth.

[Assistant] Let’s think realistically about what might happen. How much money do you have in your savings?

[User] I have enough to live off of for about 3 months. But I really don't want to spend my life savings on just living! I’d rather invest my money somehow.

[Assistant] Well, you can't have everything. Let's just figure out what you will do if you lose your job. When is your contract up on your apartment?

[User] Next month. So I can either move out then or renew my contract for another year.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Well, that’s good. If you lose your job, you can just move in with me until you find another job. That will save you plenty of money.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* That’s very generous of you. I guess that would work.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* If you lose your job, you just have to go for a few months without buying all the junk you usually buy. If you live frugally, you’ll save plenty of money.

[User] I have no idea where my class is.

[Assistant] Tell me which building it's in.

[User] My class is in the C building.

[Assistant] I know where the C building is.

[User] Do you mind telling me where it is?

[Assistant] Of course, which room number is it?

[User] Number 261.

[Assistant] I actually have a class right around there.

[User] Can please show me?

[Assistant] I can do that.


[System] We’re having a talk about ordinary life. Respond as if you're the person the user is addressing, and don't hesitate to make up details to stay true to the character while staying natural.

[User] I'm more worried about snipers.

[Assistant] Snipers?

[User] Sniping is when someone makes a bid at the very last minute to steal something for a bargain price.

[Assistant] So you're afraid someone is going to snipe your Buddha?

[User] I heard about a software program called turbid. It automatically submits a bid with just a few seconds to go in an auction.

[Assistant] Count me out. I can do without shills and snipers and turbo-bidders.

[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] 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’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.

[Assistant] I’m afraid not, George. You gotta know something, I’m not available any more. but I know Becky has a crush on ya.

[User] Ok, so who are we going to invite to our dinner party?

[Assistant] Well, we have the Thompsons, the Greens, and the Anderson, about twelve people total.

[User] Don't forget my friend Andy from the office. He has nothing to do on Friday, so I invited him over.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* But that makes thirteen people! We can't have thirteen people for dinner on Friday!

[User] Why can't we?

[Assistant] It's an old superstition. If we have thirteen people at the table, then it means bad luck. Can Andy bring a date?

[User] I'm not sure. He just broke up with his girlfriend recently, and I don't think he's in the mood to start again so soon.

[Assistant] But we can't have thirteen for dinner!

[User] I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It's only a superstition. It really doesn't mean anything.

[Assistant] Absolutely not! I refuse to have thirteen people for dinner on Friday!

[User] Ok, ok. I'll ask my sister to come. That way we'll have fourteen for dinner.

[Assistant] That's better.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Hello, Alice. Would you like to go to the temple fair with me?

[Assistant] Temple fair?

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Yes. The ancient custom of holding temple fairs is to offer sacrifices to the god of the earth, and they have developed into a festival filled with food, performances and games now.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Sounds interesting!

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Absolutely, I love temple fairs. Beijing has several temple fairs recently. They are different from each other to some extent, but also have a lot in common.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I just can't wait to see them. Which one do you choose today?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* What about Tianqiao Temple Fair? A variety of opera performances, acrobatics shows, and food will dazzle you.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Great! Do you know how to get there?

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Of course.

[Assistant] Oh, no. Is it serious?

[User] I don't know. Will you forgive me?

[User] Hello. Can I help you?

[Assistant] Yes, I hope so. I would like to register for Comp Lit 287.

[User] I'm sorry, but that class is already full.And also, students are supposed to register through the touch-tone registration system.

[Assistant] I know. I already tried to register for it by phone, but the computer won't let me.

[User] That's because it's full.

[Assistant] But I'm a new student here. I thought maybe there was some way I could get into the class. I thought I should come and talk to you in the department office.

[User] Well, I could put you on a waiting list.But that doesn't guarantee you will get into the class. What is your name?

[Assistant] My name is Karen Huang. That's spelled H-U-A-N-G.

[User] Alright. And what is your major?

[Assistant] I'm a comparative literature major.

[User] Wait a minute. You're a Comp Lit major?

[Assistant] Yes, that's right.

[User] Why didn't you tell me? I didn't know you were one of our students.

[Assistant] That's why I'm trying to get into Comp Lit 287. I know it's a required class.And Professor Cohen told me I need to take it.

[User] The university computer system saves extra places, in class 287 for comp lit students. I can give you a special code.When you register by phone, you can use the code to get into the class.

[Assistant] Even if the class is full?

[User] That's right.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Oh, I didn't know that.

[User] Sure. Here is the code number, with information on how to use it.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Thank you. So you think I will be able to get in with this?

[User] Sure. Just call the touch-tone registration system again.Then, follow the directions on the sheet. You will get in no problem.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Thanks.

[Assistant] He's very nice, actually, but rather eccentric.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Really? I love eccentric people.

[Assistant] Yes, but he may be too eccentric even for you.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Why? What do you mean by that?

[Assistant] Well, haven't you heard?

[User] Heard what? No one ever tells me anything.

[Assistant] Well, apparently, he's been having an affair with his secretary.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Really! How fascinating.

[Assistant] According to Mary, he's divorcing his wife and there's a big fight going on about the children. I thought everyone knew.

[User] Well, what can I say? I didn't know. Oh, I meant to tell you earlier, your blouse doesn't really match your skirt. Those colors don't really suit you either.

[Assistant] Oh. Thanks. Look, I must just go and say hello to someone. I'll be right back.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* That is a heavy raining afternoon. I was standing under the eaves of a shop to evade the heavy rain. It's getting dark.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* And then?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I was trembling in the wind when he ran to me with an umbrella in his hand and asked, 'Where is your home?'

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Then he sent you to your home?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Yeah.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* It's a romantic meeting. I can say that a hero saves a beauty.

[User] I'm reading an interesting report on Mars.

[Assistant] Oh, what does it say? Does it say water could still exist under the surface of Mars?

[User] Absolutely! It says there is water on Mars buried beneath the surface. It's just a matter of how deep it is.

[Assistant] Then could the soil on Mars somehow be fertile enough to Groh simple plants?

[User] The soil would need quite a bit of fertilizer to grow anything. And it would need to be protected from the UV radiation.

[Assistant] Actually, we are doing a project in school that involves landing a ship and staying on Mars for an extended period of time. Does NASA have any type of portable habitats that could be used to stay on the planet?

[User] I'm not sure NASA has built any portable habitats for extended stays on Mars, but they have looked at various designs.

[Assistant] One of the most exciting things about Mars is that there could have bean life on it. What are your personal opinions on the life on Mars theory?

[User] Well, I'm not really an expert in this area, but my understanding is that anything is possible. It's just that it is so hard to determine what went on 4.5 billion years ago.

[Assistant] But maybe there is a chance of gradually improving the surface and atmosphere of Mars so it may be inhabitable by humans.

[User] I'm skeptical. Mars is made of rocks containing silicon, iron, and various minerals. It also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide. It is so different from what we have on earth, you know.

[Assistant] I'd still like to hope that some day we could set up a human colony there.

[Assistant] that Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions. Do you want to go there?

[User] I'm not really in the mood for Italian, actually. I was thinking of something a bit spicy.

[Assistant] if you want spicy food, then I'd recommend going to a Thai, Indian or Chinese restaurant. How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road?

[User] I really like that restaurant; you get a lot for your money there. But, they've westernized their food, so it's not actually that spicy.

[Assistant] you're right. Most of their dishes have sweet sauces. We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us.

[User] the Taj? They're a bit expensive, but they do serve large portions of very hot food.

[Assistant] the Taj it is then.

[User] shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money?

[Assistant] they'll still charge us a corkage fee.

[User] that's right. It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway.

[Assistant] Hey Matt. I'm going to ask Martha to marry me?

[User] *Hands raised to face* Really? When did you decide this?

[Assistant] I always knew she was the one, but I decided to pop the big question about 2 weeks ago. I'm just debating on how to do it.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That's exciting, man.

[Assistant] So how did you propose?

[User] You shouldn't use my example. It wasn't special. I kind of wish I made it more special but it's too late now.

[Assistant] What do you think I should do?

[User] There are a lot of options. You can surprise her over dinner, or ask her in a public area, or if you have the balls, ask her father in front of her.

[Assistant] I never thought about that.

[User] Thought about what?

[Assistant] Asking her father in front of her. How do you think she will react?
