[Assistant] What do you think would be the right amount to tip?

[User] I believe that 10% is just about right amount.

[Assistant] We hit a couple of local bars, and met up with some friends. Everything was cool until Mike came along, and it turned out that it was his birthday yesterday!

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Oh no! Mike’s birthday is a drinkfest for sure!

[Assistant] Tell me about it! We drank everything in the bar!

[User] Is that why you missed work today?

[Assistant] Yeah. I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous. I threw up like five times.

[User] Www!

[Assistant] I was so dehydrated that I drank like a gallon of water, and my head has been pounding all day. I swear, I’m never gonna drink again!

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Roger Vargas is up at bat. The pitcher winds up and strike one!

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* A very nice curve ball by the pitcher. The catcher gives him the sign, he winds up and Vargas gets a line drive!

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* The players are scrambling to get the ball. Vargas gets to first base and he’s still going! The outfielder throws it to second! Vargas slides! He’s safe!

[User] Alan, I believe you have studied our catalogue and price list. Are you interested in some of our products?

[Assistant] Yes, I'm thinking of buying some T-shirts, but I find your price is on the high side.

[User] I'm very surprised to hear you say that. I think our price is very favorable. You can hardly get such an attractive price from other suppliers.

[Assistant] I'm not so sure of that. I think it's difficult for me to push sales at such a price.

[User] What's your proposal then?

[Assistant] I think to get the business done, you should at least reduce the price by 20%.

[User] We could take a cut on the price if your order is a large one, but a 20% reduction is really more than we can do. What quantity are you going to order from us then?

[Assistant] As a trial order, I'll take 5,000 dozen this time.

[User] 5,000 dozen is by no means a large order. In that case, the best I can do is to give you a 5% reduction.

[Assistant] That's really a big change from 20%. I really can't accept that.

[User] What's your counter-offer then?

[Assistant] To conclude the deal, I'd say a reduction of at least 15% would help.

[User] 15% is impossible. That'll leave us almost no profit.

[Assistant] If that's the case, I'll have to go somewhere else to meet my needs.

[User] How about doing it this way? You increase your quantity to 8,000 dozen and I'll give you a l0% reduction.

[Assistant] 8000 would be too large a figure to be used for a trial.

[User] Well, to encourage future business, I'm prepared to reduce the price by 10%. We can't go any further.

[Assistant] Ok. Let's call it a deal.

[User] So, do you think workers should be paid as little as possible?

[Assistant] No. if you do that, the workers won’t like their jobs. They will be less efficient and you will get a high staff turnover. Those things will increase you costs.

[User] How can a business maximise revenues?

[Assistant] You need to invest in some good advertising. You have to know where your potential customers are and target them. It’s no good trying to sell computer games to older people. The market is too small.

[User] What else do you suggest?

[Assistant] Find out what other companies charge for the same products or services. Price yourself near the low end. Don’ t be much cheaper than everyone else, because many customers distrust very cheap things. Th

[Assistant] I suppose you know very well that we require irrevocable letters of credit payable against presentation of shipping documents.

[User] I fully understand your position. An irrevocable letter of credit ensures that the seller gets paid in time. But, on the other hand it would add to the buying costs. We've been, after all, trading partners for 3 years and you know us well. Can't you give us D/A or D/P?

[Assistant] I'm afraid it has been our practice so far to insist on payment by L/C.

[User] But on our part, our government is reluctant to approve of L/C payment for our imports. And there is the licensing problem.

[Assistant] I understand that. Still, I'm not in a position to help you. Maybe we could do something later when we have had more and larger deals together.

[Assistant] Most people have no side effects. You will have to make sure that you drink plenty of liquids with this medication.

[User] Not sure yet.How about you pop the hood and we can take a look. Mmmm, it doesn’t look good.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* What do you mean? My daddy gave me this car for my birthday last month. It’s brand new!

[User] Well missy, the white smoke that you saw is steam from the radiator. You overheated your engine so now the pistons are busted and so is your transmission. You should have called us and we could have towed you over here when your car died.

[Assistant] Ugh... So how long is this going to take? An hour?

[User] I’m afraid a bit more than that. We need to order the spare parts, take apart your electrical system, fuel pump and engine and then put it back together again. You are going to have to leave it here for at least two weeks.

[Assistant] Oh, yes. We have rather mild winters. It always has much sunshine in winter. But it was very foggy when I left two days ago. I knew it would be colder here, but I thought there would be a lot of snow.

[User] We don't have much snow in winter in Beijing. In fact, we haven't had any so far this winter. The winter is rather long, but the cold is generally not severe. The temperature seldom gets as low as ten below zero Centigrade.

[Assistant] What is the temperature today, do you know?

[User] About freezing point, I think.But the morning's forecast said that we are going to have a very cold spell in the next few days - and the temperature will probably drop to 10 or 15 degrees below zero.

[Assistant] Oh, I'm very lucky that my wife let me take a heavy overcoat.

[Assistant] Stockholders meetings are held biannually. Usually the meetings are scheduled for spring and fall. In between the meetings, each stockholder receives biannual reports. Financial statements are made once a year.

[User] What percentage of the stockholders actually attend the meetings? I'm guessing not a large percentage...

[Assistant] You're right, it's a low percentage. Also, in order to attend meetings, you have to hold a certain amount of shares. It's quite a large number, so most of the stockers are excluded from proceedings.

[User] So, how much say do the stockholders really have?

[User] Mr. Jones, shall we now discuss the packaging?

[Assistant] Very well. You know, we have definite ways of packaging garments. As to blouses, we use a polythene wrapper for each article, all ready for window display.

[User] Good. A wrapping that catches the eye will certainly help push the sales. With competition from similar garments producers, the merchandise must not only be good value but also look attractive.

[Assistant] Right you are. We'll see to it that the blouses appeal to the eye as well as to the purse.

[User] What about the outer packing?

[Assistant] We'll pack them 10 dozens to one carton, gross weight around 25 kilos a carton.

[User] Cartons?

[Assistant] Yes, corrugated cardboard boxes.

[User] Could you use wooden cases instead?

[Assistant] Why use wooden cases?

[User] I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for such a heavy load.

[Assistant] The cartons are comparatively light, and therefore easy to handle. They won't be stowed away with the heavy cargo. The stevedores will see to that. Besides, we'll reinforce the cartons with straps. Silk blouses are not fragile goods. They can stand a lot of jolting.

[User] Maybe you are right, but the goods are to be transhipped at Hamburg or London. If the boxes are moved about on an open wharf, the dampness or rain may get into them. This would make the blouses spotted or ruined.

[Assistant] No need to worry about that. The cartons lined with plastic sheets are waterproof, and as the boxes are made of cardboard, they will be handled with care.

[User] Well, I don't want to take any chances. Besides, cartons are easy to cut open, and this increases the risk of pilferage.

[Assistant] Tampering with cartons is easily detected. I should say that this rather discourages pilferage.

[User] Maybe so, but I'm afraid that in case of damage or pilferage, the insurance company will refuse compensation on the ground of improper packing, or packing unsuitable for sea voyage.

[Assistant] But cartons are quite seaworthy. They are extensively used in our shipments to continental ports. There are never any complaints from our clients, and our insurance company has also approved such packing for W. P. A. and T. P. N. D.

[User] If you could guarantee compensation in case the insurance com - any refuses to honor a claim for faulty packing, we would be quite willing to accept cartons.

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but we can't take on any responsibility that is beyond our functions and powers. We'll make sure that the packing is seaworthy, but we can't commit ourselves to being responsible for every kind of mishap.

[User] I can understand your position. Perhaps I'm asking too much.

[Assistant] We'll use wooden cases if you insist, but the charge for packing will be considerably higher, and it also slows delivery.

[User] Well, I'll call you immediately for instructions on the matter.

[Assistant] Please do. I'll be waiting for your reply.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Good morning golf aficionados! My name is Rick Fields, and you guessed it, I am here with my main man, Bob Copeland.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Thank you, Rick! As you can see, ladies and gentleman, we are here in beautiful Pebble Beach where the top golfers in the world are trying to win the grand prize of one million dollars!

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Whoa, that’s a lot of cash! Let’s go to the course and see how Tiger Woods is doing.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* All right, we are here at the eighth hole. It’s a par four, and has some very difficult hazards which many golfers find difficult to avoid. Although, I did see Jack Nicklaus hit a hole in one on this very same hole!

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Tiger Woods is about to tee off, and let’s see if he has the same luck as Jack. Tiger is asking his caddie for his driver and, he seems to be very nervous.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Oh no! Not a good swing at all! It’s definitely not his day today. On the seventh hole he got a bogey and before that he barely made par. He will definitely not get a birdie on this shot.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* It seems that his ball has flown somewhere deep in the trees. He is having a hard time finding it and even his caddie has climbed a tree to try and spot it.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Oh no! A bear! Run, Tiger, run! Somebody call animal control!

[Assistant] I need to do a credit investigation on another company, but I'm worried it'll be a bit difficult.

[User] How so?

[Assistant] Well, it's an American company, you see. I'm worried that there will be too much red tape involved.

[User] We are able to do credit investigations globally. You have no need to worry.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Really? I have been told, by another bank, that it makes it difficult if you want to investigate a company which is registered outside China.

[User] 10 years ago, maybe yes. But nowadays we are a global village, it's easy to deal with any foreign country.

[Assistant] I'm not exactly prepared right now. How about I go back to the office, get the relevant information and come back before closing?

[User] But I work hard all the time for long hours. Often I have no time for lunch. Yet, I am still getting fatter.

[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] Good. I want to discuss with you the mode of payment for the construction of the power plant under negotiation.

[User] Well, I trust that your presence will hasten the settlement of payment terms.

[Assistant] I would like to explain to you our financial position. The manufacture of machinery and its accessories and parts will consume both time and money. It takes five years to manufacture the machinery and we will have to advance the cost for the main machines to be produced, and besides this there are large sums to be paid to our subcontractors for the manufacture of the accessories and parts.

[User] But for an enterprise of your size, an order from us will certainly not embarrass you financially.

[Assistant] Well, in fact, it is beyond our financial capability.

[User] In what way can we solve the problem?

[Assistant] Have you considered the possibility of a buyer's credit?

[User] Yes. But the sum is large, it must be provided by a group of banks.

[Assistant] So, we propose your company apply to Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for a long-term loan. Six months before each shipment, you through Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation open, in our favour, an irrevocable, dividable L/C which is to remain valid for two months.

[User] Do you have any questions before you commit yourself to this?

[Assistant] Actually, yes I do. I was wondering about the subscription fee. And how much will you charge me during the time of redeeming this new fund?

[User] The subscription fee is charged at a rate of 1.2%. But for redeeming, a rate of a usual 0.5%, we shall charge you 1.6% if you apply to buy it after the fund-raising period.

[Assistant] So, it's going to cost me then?

[User] Good morning, Family. We'll have our board meeting this afternoon. Can you write the agenda on the notice board?

[Assistant] What will you discuss at the meeting?

[User] We'll talk about the financial report for the first half of the year.

[Assistant] And anything else?

[User] We'll also discuss the personnel plan for the second half of the year.

[Assistant] That's all?

[User] Yes. Please write them down on the notice board. I want everybody to see them.

[Assistant] OK.


[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’m ready to settle the bill.

[Assistant] I hope you enjoyed your stay.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Definitely! Very relaxing.

[Assistant] Good. Right, that comes to $1,500.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* What? I only stayed three nights.

[Assistant] That’s right, sir. Three nights at 500 dollars a night...that comes to $1,500.

[User] But your brochure said that this was a package deal and the hotel’s services were all-inclusive.

[Assistant] Yes, of course. The meals and excursions were included in the hotel price.

[User] But why are you overcharging me almost a thousand dollars? 250 dollars a night, times three nights should just be $750.

[Assistant] I’m sorry sir. The 250-dollar rate is based on double occupancy. That means it’s 250 per person. The room itself is 500 dollars a night.

[User] Perhaps I could talk to your manager?

[Assistant] Of course. Just a minute; I’ll get her.


[System] This conversation revolves around daily life. Pretend you're the person the user is speaking to. You can invent details to stay in character, but make sure to remain natural.

[User] So, where can I start my work?

[Assistant] Well, your job is to compile and analyze financial information to prepare entries to accounts. You’re also responsible for preparing profit and loss statements and monthly closing and cost accounting reports.

[User] And I represent?

[Assistant] Our company just concluded a business transaction. You can help with documenting varies financial sheets involved in this transaction.

[User] Ok, thank you.

[Assistant] You’re welcome. Feel free to ask me any time you need help.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Hello, Mr. Gao. We appreciate your letting us have the apartment.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* My pleasure. You're a sweet couple. Do you have any questions?

[User] The ad said rent was thirty thousand. That includes utilities and phone, I assume.

[Assistant] No, it doesn't. And there's a maintenance fee for each month. It's forty NT per ping.

[User] That's another one thousand six hundred?

[Assistant] Yes, but that doesn't include cable. It's for cleaning and trash removal. You just leave your trash outside your door.

[User] Seat 30B is right here, sir. You may take your seat. I'll put your bag in the above compartment.

[Assistant] Thank you, miss. Will dinner be served on the plane?

[User] Yes, sir. I'll bring you a menu shortly after we take off.

[Assistant] That would be nice. Could you also get me a pillow and a blanket, please?

[User] Here you are.

[Assistant] How long will this flight last?

[User] It is a six-hour flight with an-hour layover in Los Angles.

[Assistant] Good. I'll have plenty of time to nap on the plane.

[User] Welcome to Lincoln Bank. What can we do for you?

[Assistant] Morning. I'm a new user of your credit card and I was wondering if I'm taking full advantage of it.

[User] Well, there certainly are many benefits that go along with our credit card.

[Assistant] Yes, of course. It's so much easier than cash, to be honest; nowadays I hardly ever use cash. I just put it on the card and pay off the balance every month.

[User] You know it is not necessary to pay the balance in full every month.

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

[User] Yes, you will see on your monthly bill and statement the amount in full but also the minimum payment.

[Assistant] So, if for some reason I was having a bad month and spent a little too much I could just pay the minimum?

[User] Yes. As long as you keep making regular monthly payments, paying the minimum is just fine. Of course, your credit limit will be lowered accordingly.

[Assistant] How so?

[User] For example, if your credit limit is 5,000 RIB and you owe 1,000 RIB, your available credit will be 4,000 RIB. So, your credit limit drops.

[Assistant] Oh, I see. Well, I don't plan on only paying the minimum, but it's good to know that I can if I had to. Thanks for that.


[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] May I help you?

[Assistant] I'm looking for a pair of shoes.

[User] What size do you wear? These shoes are on sale.

[Assistant] I wear size 36. This pair looks nice. Can I try them on?

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Of course, yes. They look nice. And they're not expensive.

[Assistant] How much are they?

[User] They are $18.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* I'll take them.


[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] Where is the produce?

[Assistant] It's on the south wall of the store, in aisle A.

[User] Is there any produce on sale?

[Assistant] I don't know. The produce person can tell you, though.

[User] Hi, Mr. Smith. I’m Dr. Hawkins. Why are you here today?

[Assistant] I thought it would be a good idea to get a check-up.

[User] Yes, well you haven’t had one for... five years. You should have one every year.

[Assistant] I know. I figure as long as there’s nothing wrong, why go see the doctor?

[User] Well, the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them early. So, try to come at least once a year for your own good.

[Assistant] O. K.

[User] Let me see here. Your eyes and ears look fine. Take a deep breath, please. Do you smoke, Mr. Smith?

[Assistant] Yes.

[User] Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and heart disease, you know. You really should quit.

[Assistant] I’ Ve tried a hundred times, but I just can’t seem to kick the habit.

[User] Well, we have classes and some medications that might help. I’ll give you more information before you leave.

[Assistant] O. K., thanks, doctor.

[User] Hey, Trev! How did the shopping go?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* “You ain't nothing' but a hound-dog...”

[User] Trev, are you OK?

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Of course I'm OK! I just bought a bunch of classic Elvis records!

[User] Aren't you lucky. The vintage-clock guy is driving a hard bargain. So I have nothing.

[Assistant] Oh, Dad. Do I have to get up right now?

[User] Yes, or you'll be late.

[Assistant] Why didn't my alarm go off today?

[User] It went off 30 minutes ago.

[Assistant] I must have slept right through it.

[User] Rise and shine.

[Assistant] OK. I know.
