[User] Ok, so how about this, "This is Abby and I am really happy you called! I promise I will give you a ring as soon as I can, so please leave me your name and number. Talk to you soon!".

[Assistant] A little too friendly Abby. Just say this, "Hi, you have reached Abby. I am unable to answer your call right now, but if you leave me your name and phone number, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks".

[User] Is that the latest issue of Reader you're reading?

[Assistant] Yes, it is. It has some really good articles in it.

[User] I know. I have been a subscriber for the past two years.

[Assistant] I didn't know that. How much does it cost to subscribe?

[User] I'm not exactly sure, but it's not that expensive at all.

[Assistant] I used to subscribe to it, but I cancelled my subscription last year.

[User] Why did you do that?

[Assistant] I was the only person in my family reading it. Everyone in my family just likes to read Fashion.

[User] I think I should join a fitness centre. I am getting a little fat and I'm totally out of shape. Even a quick walk of a few hundred metres leaves me out of breath.

[Assistant] *Flinches at every sound* I'm afraid you are beginning to look a little overweight. You really need to stop smoking. That's the main reason you're unhealthy.

[User] I guess you're right. I've tried stopping, but I just can't seem to quit.

[Assistant] Why don't you try smoking one cigarette less each day? How many do you smoke each day now?

[User] I smoke around 30 each day.

[Assistant] Ok. So for one month, reduce the number you smoke by one a day. At the end of the month, you'll have quit. You should also buy a tracksuit and go jogging every morning. You don't need to jog far.

[User] If I do a few exercises at home, like crunches, I'll soon deal with this waistline.

[Assistant] Be careful when you go jogging. Don't put yourself under too much stress. You're still a smoker shouldn't do too much exercises in your condition.

[User] I'll join a fitness centre. I'm sure they'll be able to give me more advice. There's one near my office, so I can go before and after work. I don't want to go jogging in the street, so I'll use a treadmill.

[Assistant] Good idea. Remember to eat healthily too. The trainers at the fitness centre will be able to advise you on your diet.

[User] Excuse me, I want to know the price of your CPU.

[Assistant] Glad to tell you. The price of CPU is 300 dollars.

[User] It's rather too high. If you can make it cheaper, we will be able to place large orders continuously.

[Assistant] If you order a large amount, we can give you a discount.

[User] Well, can you explain it to me?

[Assistant] The price of CPU is 260 dollars above 1,000 Units.

[User] Can you reduce more?

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but to be frank, considering exploiting the market in your country, we have already supplied you at very low preferential price.

[User] In that case, we have to stop ordering if a reduction cannot be made. Please reconsider.

[Assistant] It is so hard to deal with.

[User] If you can give us a more reduction, We'd be able to give you an order on the spot.

[Assistant] This price is the best we can make.

[Assistant] It is quite important for all of us. Without clear goals, one may lose direction and cannot pave the way for their future.

[User] Tell me something about your goals.

[Assistant] As a graduate, it may be more important to develop myself effectively in my future work. And whatever job I may take, I will make the best efforts.

[User] If confronted with difficult task, what will you do?

[Assistant] I will make full use of the chance and get myself ready for the challenges all the time.

[User] Would you care much about your salary?

[Assistant] Salary is, admittedly, important, but I will care more about what I can learn from the job.

[User] If you were assigned some work which you are not so interested, would you take it or not?

[Assistant] I would take it. After all, interest is not the only thing one should care about.

[User] I think it is easier to buy a car than to maintain it. What’s worse, I just don’t trust those vehicle maintenance shops. Sometimes, they overcharge or don’t build those parts I have been paying for. Last week, they even tried to persuade me to buy new parts which really need not to be changed. You know, my car is just half a year old and also good brand. I was just wondering about all these.

[Assistant] There are such shops living on selling parts. I don’t like their service either. All they want is your money. But in the long run, they will be losing costumers. Anyway, car service business is new in China. We all have to control what they are doing. Otherwise, they will not improve.

[User] Is it possible to make a compliant call to some organization what it’s someone gets rip-off.

[Assistant] Yes, there is. Those organizations exist. You always can call a lawyer if you need legal help.

[Assistant] I expect to operate computers.

[User] What are your plans for the future?

[Assistant] I wish to move up to higher positions with acquisition of more experience in the future.

[User] How long does it take to get here from your home?

[Assistant] It's a twenty-minute bus ride.

[User] How long do you think that we can depend on your working here?

[Assistant] I’ll work here as long as you expect me to.

[User] You are single now, but what will you do when you get married?

[Assistant] I’ Ve thought about that a lot. I know that many women take a job, planning to make a career of it, and then they change their mind. But I am hoping to make it my lifetime work. So if I get married, I will find some ways that I can continue my work.

[User] Do you think you will want to continue working here even after you’ Ve had a child?

[Assistant] I think so.

[User] What ideas do you have if we employ you?

[Assistant] Ever since I was a young girl, I’ Ve been clever with my hands. I’ Ve always enjoyed doing detailed work. If I could use that ability to make your products a little better and to benefit the company, I would be happy.

[User] If you fail to do your work well, what are you going to do?

[Assistant] I’ll report it honestly. I’ll give a correct analysis. I may quit the job-and pay compensation. But I have my way to judge whether I fail.

[User] What do you think if you do not have much spare time on this job?

[Assistant] People are supposed to work hard within regular work time, especially when it is an important work that is highly paid for. I don’ t mind work over spare time if it is paid for.

[User] What are your expectations from working on this job?

[Assistant] Getting more experience with a widely-known company like yours. Using my speciality in marketing and management. And getting advancement in salary and position. Show my enterprise, confidence and character in passing.

[User] If you were choosing a person for this job, what kind of individual would you select?

[Assistant] I would select the individual that has the most qualifications among all the applicants. He doesn’ t have to be the person if we have to fill the vacancy. But he has to be the best, even if we have to pay him higher.

[User] If we do not employ you, what are you going to do?

[Assistant] I will feel it is a pity. But I will not feel so bad. I will go for other interviews until I am employed satisfactorily. Hopefully before I find another position, you will call me back.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Cool!

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Ok, each player gets 16 pieces. You can be the white ones and I’ll play with the black pieces. Now in the front, you set up the pawns. Those are the least valuable pieces and can only move one space forward. When you are about to capture another piece, it can move one space diagonally.

[Assistant] What about all these other pieces?

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* See this one that looks like a tower? It’s called the rook. The one with the tall hat is called the bishop. See this little horsey? This is called the knight, it’s a very important piece so it’s best to not let your opponent capture it.

[Assistant] And these two? They are husband and wife?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That’s right! That’s the queen and that’s the king. If the other player captures your king, he will say ”Check Mate” and the game is over! Doesn’t this sound fun?

[Assistant] Hello. I called earlier in the week and spoke to someone in the personal loans department about an overseas study loan. She said to come in as soon as I had the chance, as this must be done in person. I'd like to apply today.

[User] OK, that's absolutely fine. I will need to see some credentials before we can get started. Do you have the notification of admission letter from your university, your passport and your visa with you?

[Assistant] Yes, yes. It's all here. There you go. I'm not sure if I need any other proof or guarantee to get this loan, do I?

[User] You do, I'm afraid. There are 3 ways to do this. You can choose, mortgage, pledge or guarantee mode.

[Assistant] Yes, I read about all of these in the brochure and decided which would be more suitable for me. I'd like to go for the guarantee mode, please.

[User] Right, that's no problem. I see you are already well informed. If you choose that one, you can borrow up to 70% of the total tuition and miscellaneous fees.

[User] Ivory, please, please

[Assistant] So that is product number MS2119, Size.

[User] Yes, I think so. Can I ask you something?

[Assistant] Certainly.

[User] I'm a foreigner here. My English isn't perfect. Can tell me what satin is?

[Assistant] Satin is like silk, Ma'am. It feels like silk. But it's a different material.

[User] I see. That's what I thought.

[Assistant] Anything else today?

[User] No, I just need the sheets.

[Assistant] Alright. With shipping charges, your total will be 68 dollars. Will you be paying with credit?

[User] Good idea! I've heard that the Expo is doing pretty well now, and ads are seen everywhere in the country on all means of media, newspapers, TV, street signs, etc.

[Assistant] Yeah, it's the last world-wide horti-cultural exposition in the century, and one of the grand festivities of cross-century significance held by the China's tourism industry.

[User] what's interesting to see there?

[Assistant] Oh, there's plenty. Flowers and plants from all over the world, of course. Besides, gardening techniques are demonstrated, modern facilities displayed, academic exchanges and seminars organized, and folk performances of different nations shown almost every day.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* I visited the First International Flower Festival in the city last year, and was impressed with so many beautiful flowers!

[Assistant] Oh, can't compare with the Kunming Expo at all! The Kunming Expo covers an area of 218 hectares, and more than 9000 flower enterprises from over 100 countries and regions are invited to participate in the Expo.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* It would be a rare occasion to be able to appreciate so many fine species of Chinese and foreign flowers fully blooming in one park!

[Assistant] Far more than that, I dare to say! Inland provinces and cities, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as many countries and regions in the world have an exhibition area of their own to display their unique flowers and plants. Each month there's a special day for a particular country or region, and folk performances are given. You will feel it a great pity if you missile Kunming Expo.

[System] This is a casual conversation about everyday life. Take on the persona of the person the user is addressing, and feel free to invent details to stay in character but make sure it feels natural.

[User] Lets begin by having you tell me about yourself and your background.

[Assistant] I have been working as a paralegal for the last 10 months through an agency that specializes in the legal field. My experience has been supporting attorneys in the field of labor law, where I have been able to apply my paralegal education. I was commended on my ability to take information and break it down into usable facts. I really love research and analyzing facts. My major in college was English, and as a result, my writing skills are my major strength. I am looking for a position where my research and writing skills can be used.

[User] What do you think are the key qualities needed to succeed in the paralegal profession?

[Assistant] Flexibility would certainly rank high in this type of job. In my last position, I supported four lawyers, and it was not unusual for them all to give me high-priority items to do in the same day or week. There were days when I had to stop and prioritize my work just to get a handle on everything. I would discuss the urgency of their work with each of them so I didn't drop the ball. At the same time, I made sure each of them felt like his or her project was important on my agenda. I think communication is probably the next key quality. It really worked well when I talked with each of them, explained my situation, and got their input.

[User] Can give me an example of a time when you had to work above and beyond your job description?

[Assistant] There was a very important project that had to be researched and completed by the end of the week. Even though I worked extra hours every night for almost two weeks, my boss and I stayed until 2 a.m. for two nights before the final wrap up. It was very rewarding to have put so much effort into a project and see the really great results. My boss gave me a bonus for my extra effort.

[User] Tell me about a time when you had to research a case and encountered some obstacles you had to overcome.

[Assistant] I remember a case that was filled with obstacles. The first thing I did was research through documents and past cases that had similar circumstances. I assembled the facts and then tried to put them together and analyze the next step. I was able to get some input from another lawyer I happened to see at lunch. Through some hard work and fact digging, I was able to find a way to overcome most of the obstacles. I took my findings to my boss and made some recommendations, which she and I discussed and eventually resolved.My boss was impressed with the work I had done.

[User] What are your strengths and weaknesses?

[Assistant] My strengths are my caring about getting the job done. I am very results-driven and have been able to meet all my deadlines in past jobs. As far as weaknesses, I really enjoy my work, and sometimes I put in too much time. But I am aware of my tendency to overwork and have learned to pace myself more.

[User] Tell me about a time when you had a confrontation with a coworker or boss.

[Assistant] I did have an issue with someone who was getting on my nerves. I asked her if I could talk with her one day, and we had a good discussion. It turned out she was not aware of the impact of her actions and that she really needed an explanation of the procedure. I took the time to explain the procedures, and there haven't been any problems since that day.

[User] When do you find a job satisfying?

[Assistant] My biggest satisfaction is when I experience growth in a job. When I first started as a paralegal, I had a lot to learn. But through hard work, advice from some good mentors and continuing education, I have come a long way. I've learned to be flexible when possible and to deal with difficult people in a positive manner.

[User] How would your coworkers describe you?

[Assistant] First, they'll say I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I really enjoy working with people. Secondly, they'll say I had great customer service skills. I put the customer first. And thirdly, they'll say that I know the law. I put a lot of effort into my education as a paralegal and take it seriously.

[User] Do you have any questions?

[Assistant] Yes, I do. On a scale of one to 10, what would you say morale was in this company?
