[User] How did that happen?

[Assistant] A wild dancer dropped it on my left foot and said nothing about it. If I had drunk enough and I would have had the bold to punch him in the face.

[User] There is something wrong with my girlfriend.

[Assistant] What is the trouble?

[User] The department manager is all over her. He says he loves her.

[Assistant] What about your friend? Did she fall for him?

[User] Of course not! She thinks he's an apple-head. She doesn't like an apple-headed man, you know.

[Assistant] Now you don't have the butterflies in your stomach, do you?

[Assistant] I have to exchange some money.

[User] that’s right. You’re going away next week.

[Assistant] I also want to see if my salary has been paid into my bank account. There was a problem last week.

[User] I have to pay my credit bill too. If I don’t pay it soon, the credit card company will charge me interest.

[Assistant] Their interest rates are usually quite high. It’s a good idea to pay off your credit card debts before they attract interest.


[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] *Laughs, body relaxed* It’s so relaxing, taking a walk in the country. The air is so fresh and clean.

[Assistant] would you like to live in the country? I’m not sure I’d like it.

[User] I can see a lot of advantage and disadvantage. The problem is that, for me, each advantage has its own disadvantage.

[Assistant] What do you mean?

[User] *Lip curls, sneering* Well, I hate the noise in the city, but I love being around lost of people. The problem is that you can’t have lots of people and have peace and quiet. The two just don’t go together.

[Assistant] I see what you mean. I love being far away from a city, but I hate being so far away department stores and sports facilities.

[User] People can’t have it both ways. If you live in the country, it is often less convenient. If you live in a city, it is noisy, but there’s more to do.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* I would love to be surrounded by hills and streams. They’re so much better to look at than concrete, rows of parked cars and tall buildings.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* I would love to hear the birds singing and feel the fresh breeze on my face. When the wind blows in the city, you get dust in your mouth and in your eyes.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* The view from the hill is so beautiful and relaxing. There’s so sign of pollution. The village looks so peaceful.

[User] Just remember that in that village there’s nothing to do. There’s not even a pub or restaurant. There’s just one small shop with a poor selection of goods.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* You’re right. I would have to travel to the city at least once a week to go shopping and see friends. I would hate living in the country!

[User] I was just concerned about Sam. He hasn't been himself lately.

[Assistant] He took the civil service exam and failed.

[User] That sucks. He must feel depressed.

[Assistant] Yeah. He's been sitting in his room everyday for the last 4 days.

[User] Why don't we take him out? We can try to take his mind off of it. In the least show him that we're there for him.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That's a great idea. Why don't you call him. I already talked to him a couple of times and it might be good for him to hear from somebody else.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Ok. I'll call you back after I'm done.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Sounds good.

[Assistant] I know, but I don't have a choice, my boss has complete control over our work schedules. I haven't made it out of the office before 9 PM a single day this week.

[User] Well, I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work...

[Assistant] No, not exactly, I'm working for minimum wage.And they don't give extra pay for overtime. Overtime is our own time.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* What?? Isn't there a law against that, I think there is some legislation that requires employers to give their employees a fair rate of wages. You should know your rights! If you are putting in so many hours, they should give you some kind of compensation.

[Assistant] They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers, but frankly, it's not much of an incentive. They give us a bonus of ten dollars.

[User] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* That's just wrong! why don't you just quit?

[Assistant] I would, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find another job. I don't have very many job marketable skills, there aren't so many jobs that I'm qualified for.

[Assistant] oh, Iris, it’s about the job with the PR company.

[User] it’s a great opportunity. You should be happy with the offer.

[Assistant] but my mother won’t allow me to accept any part-time job. I’m afraid she will say no again.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* why? It’s unfair. You can learn a lot from it.

[Assistant] she says a part-time job is cursed blessing. It takes so much time and energy that I won’t be able to focus on my studys.

[User] that may be true. But I’m sure you’re able to find a balance between them. Why not try it?

[Assistant] I turned down quite a few offers before for her sake. But I’m a senior now, I don’t want to miss the chance this time.

[User] I agree with you but I think you really need to talk to your mother and tell her what's on your mind.

[Assistant] I’ll try, but what if she insists?

[User] just let her know that the experience will be both amazing and rewarding. And more importantly, you can manage both your study and the job.

[Assistant] do you think it will work?

[User] sure. Every cloud has its silver lining. Just try.

[User] It said that people with a positive attitude tend to live longer and happier.

[Assistant] I think that many physicians now agree with that idea.

[User] And the TV program also said that physical exercise helps people deal with stress.

[User] About 70, I think. This newspaper article talks about the problems of an aging population. It’s a problem that will soon affect most of the world.

[Assistant] I heard that the government might need to increase the retirement age, because otherwise there will not be enough workers to support the young and the elderly.

[User] Perhaps we need to have more babies! Tina gave birth to a baby boy yesterday.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Did she? That’s great. However, if we have too many children, that will have a bad effect on the enviroment.

[User] How’s your son these days?

[Assistant] Oh, he’s fine. Kids seem to grow up very quickly nowadays.

[User] He’ll be a teenager before you know it! Teenagers are often rebellious! When do you think it is a good age to have a child?

[Assistant] I had mine when I was 24. that’s a little young. I’d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties., or even in your early thirties if you have a good career.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yes, I think you’re right. I’m thinking about having a child, but not just yet.

[Assistant] Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country?

[User] Yes, there is. Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives. They want to go out, have fun, and explore the world. They want to develop their own view of life. Parents usually try to discourage them, but they don’t often succeed.

[Assistant] Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country. Sometimes they give them too much freedom.

[User] Do you think going to the registration building will help at all?

[Assistant] No. They will tell you the same thing in a worse way.

[User] Did you register yet?

[Assistant] Of course. Registering for classes is not something you want to miss.

[User] What classes do you think are still open?

[Assistant] Well, I know psychology 101 is a big class, so there will always be seats in that class. You can also get into Sociology.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That's helpful. Thanks. But what do you think about philosophy. I wanted to take that class this semester.

[Assistant] I took that class last year. The professor is really cool, so if you go to his office, you can have him sign a card that will let you in even if the class is full.

[User] He does that?

[Assistant] I guess that's because so many people drop out of that class.

[User] A lot of young people have to do that.

[Assistant] Yes. but the husband had to work overtime three times a week, so he was always tired.

[User] I take sleeping pills sometimes.

[Assistant] Yes, but not two every night. Anyway, the strain was too much for him. He had nervous breakdown and had to go to hospital.

[User] Do you think though that...that in...in a sense television skilled people's own er...sort of, creativity or their ability entertain themselves because if they're bored all they do is justturn on the television?

[Assistant] Yes, I think that is a danger, and I think that. . in fact is what mishappening to a lot of people who use it as their... their main... um field of amusement and... because they don't have other outside interests and even when people come round they'll leave the television and not be, you know, particularly interested in talking to them, you Know the television will be the main thing in the room.
