[User] So where is this mystery restaurant that we are going to?

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* It's an Indian restaurant! I know you have never had Indian food, so I thought you might want to try.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That sounds great! I am craving some type of beef dish.

[Assistant] Well, Indian cuisine actually doesn't serve beef. You see, cows are a sacred animal, a very important element in the Hindu religion, so beef is not eaten.

[User] I see, so what are we having? Chicken?

[Assistant] There are many amazing dishes to choose from. We can have some chicken tikka masala which is an amazing curry. It's a bit spicy, but I think you can handle it.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Sounds good! I have always heard that Indian spices give a rich flavor to food.

[Assistant] Yeah. Also, we can have some Naan bread which is baked in a tandoori oven. Since you don' t use any utensils to eat, you can use this bread to scoop up the curry or rice.

[User] What about veggies?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* They have a good variety of vegetable-based dishes like talak panter, vegetable samosas or daal.

[Assistant] If you want to live much longer you have to give up smoking.

[User] I've tried before. Everything I've tried doesn't work.

[Assistant] Maybe with the choice of life or death before you, you will find it easier.

[User] May I see that x-ray again?

[Assistant] See all these black areas? That's tar built up in your Lungs.

[User] And that is what's causing my shortness of breath.

[Assistant] Look at it this way, when you quit, you will save money, time and your life!

[Assistant] Yes, I'm looking for a cap. Size 16.

[User] Would you like to try this one on?

[Assistant] Yes. It's a bit tight. Have you got a bigger one?

[User] All right. How about this one?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes, that's fine. I'll take it. Can I pay by check?


[System] This is an exchange about daily life. Take on the role of the person the user is addressing. Feel free to create details to stay in character, but keep it natural.

[User] It's Sunday today.

[Assistant] Yes, I know.

[User] I think we should have a house cleaning today. What's your opinion?

[Assistant] Oh, no. We just did it last week.

[User] Come on. What do you want to do? Washing clothes or cleaning the house?

[Assistant] I'd rather wash the clothes.

[User] Okay. Here is the laundry.

[Assistant] *Covering nose and mouth, repelled* Oh, My God! So much!


[System] This is a dialogue about routine life. Act as if you're the person the user is talking to, and feel free to invent details to stay in character, but always keep it relaxed and natural.

[User] Schedule it for this afternoon, when Ken gets back.

[Assistant] I don’t think he’s back today.

[User] Oh, that’s right. Go ahead anyways. I’ll fill him in. We can’t lose this order under any circumstances!

[Assistant] I know, it’s a big one.

[User] I want to find an old music box.

[Assistant] We have a great selection. What decade are you looking for?

[User] Do you have anything made in the 1920s?

[Assistant] We have six.

[User] Do any of them have dancing figures?

[Assistant] Actually, two of them have dancing figures.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* That's fantastic. I think I like this one.

[Assistant] A good choice. I prefer that one myself.

[User] Now, is there any warranty with this?

[Assistant] Oh, no, I'm afraid not. These things are just too old to guarantee anything.

[User] I understand.

[Assistant] Even if they break down, they're still works of art.

[User] Yes, take your time, please.

[Assistant] Can we get something to drink? We want two bottles of beer.

[User] Fine.

[Assistant] Could tell us your specials today?

[User] The special today is steak.

[Assistant] We'll take this steak dinner.

[User] What would you like to go with your steak?

[Assistant] Peas and carrots.

[User] I see. What would you like for dessert?

[Assistant] Icecream, please.


[System] This conversation involves daily life topics. Pretend to be the person the user is talking to, and feel free to embellish details to stay in character, but keep it casual and real.

[User] Lets see. I had the salmon starter which was £5.90 and my Pizza was £5.25.

[Assistant] I had the soup and bruschetta which all together is £2.50 and my trout for the main course was £2.

[User] So that's £1.15 for me and £2.50 for you.

[Assistant] Yes and shall we go fifty-fifty for the wine?

[User] Yes, so that's an extra £6 for both of us.

[Assistant] So now your bill comes to £20.15 and I need to pay £22.50.

[User] And I had a dessert - that's another £3.50. And you had coffee which is £2.

[Assistant] And is that all?

[User] Yes, this is everything on the list.

[Assistant] So now my bill is £24.50 and yours come to £23.65. Is that correct?

[User] Yes, that's exactly it. How much tip shall we give the waiter?

[Assistant] I think £5 would be good.

[User] Thank you for visiting our products. I remember that you are interested in our silk products and so, could I have a meeting with you this week to show you moreinformation about our products?

[Assistant] I'd like to, but I'm afraid that my schedule is full this week.

[User] What about next week? Is it convenient for you?

[Assistant] Am. How about 10 a.m. on next Friday?

[User] Any time you say is OK.

[Assistant] All right, expecting you.

[User] Where did you study accounting?

[Assistant] I studied at Anshan University.

[User] Did you intern anywhere?

[Assistant] Yes, I interned with an accounting firm during tax season.

[User] That must have been stressful.

[Assistant] Yes, but I learned a lot.

[User] I'll bet.

[Assistant] I learned about different tax laws and how they work.

[Assistant] Are you telling me you're not going to meet with me?

[User] Not at all, sir. I'd just like to delay our meeting to next week, I'll have time at the beginning of next week.

[Assistant] Well, I don't like it, but I guess I don't have any choice.

[User] How about Monday morning at 9 a.m.?

[User] Thanks a lot, Mrs. White.

[Assistant] You are welcome.

[User] Jack, I think it's best that I actively ask for the results of interview.

[Assistant] That's a good idea! So you don't need to worry about it.

[User] I think so, too. What do you think about that I write a letter of inquiry to the company?

[Assistant] It's OK. You could send an email to the employer via the internet.

[User] Good idea. It is convenient and fast.

[Assistant] You could inquire about the results directly, but should be politely.

[User] Certainly.

[Assistant] I think the letter of inquiry should be written briefly. If it's too long, I'm afraid the employer won't have time to read it.

[User] I think that about one hundred words are enough.

[Assistant] After you send the letter of inquiry, you should pay close attention not to miss any reply.

[User] *Hands fidget, deep sigh* Well, actually I failed to meet a deadline last week and I forgot to answer an e-mail for a VIP customer yesterday.

[Assistant] Anything that distracts you from work?

[User] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* Yes, everything. I feel overwhelmed by the daily work. Sometimes, I just can’t focus on what I am doing. What is worse, though I make plans for a whole week, I always have to make changes later on because other things come up. I can’t manage my time well. I can’t handle work well. I am afraid I was screw up more things.

[Assistant] Look, Lucy. Things are not so bad as you said. This is our company’s busiest time in a year. You need to relax a little. Don’t push yourself too hard, ok?

[Assistant] Oh, there is a car exhibition tomorrow afternoon. I have two tickets.Would you like to go there with me?

[User] Those are today’s top stories. Now let’s go to John for the weather. John, what does the forecast look like for our weekend travelers?

[Assistant] I’m afraid we’re in for a rough weekend, Marry. There is a storm system moving through the East Coast. It will be drizzling all day today, and there’s a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms this evening. It will be warm and humid all weekend. In the Midwest, expect strong winds and a low of around 40 degrees.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* That’s pretty chilly for the summer! Will it rain on Saturday?

[Assistant] Unfortunately, yes. It will be clear early Saturday morning but there is a high chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day. There is a severe thunderstorm warning for some parts of the Southeast. Folks in those areas might see some hail and flooding, especially in areas that have been experiencing record high rainfalls.

[User] *Lips quiver, tears held back* That certainly sounds like a dreary Saturday.

[Assistant] It gets better on Sunday, though. The storm systems move east and the skies will clear up at night. It will still be rather cool, with highs in the low 50s. The West Coast will be experiencing some unusually chilly weather, but at least the sun will come out. I advise weekend travelers to be careful, especially while driving. Back to you, Mark.

[Assistant] OK.

[User] What's the matter?

[Assistant] I'm sorry to say that we have to let you go, John.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Why? I work very hard.

[Assistant] Well, you're working very hard but not efficiently. And you don't work well with other employees.

[User] Well, some of those other guys are not the same kind I'd like to communicate with, but if that's important to you. I'll try to get along with them.

[Assistant] I'm afraid it's too late. We are downsizing our workforce and you'll have to go.

[User] It's unfair.

[Assistant] We can give you the option of residing rather than being fired, because it will look better on your resume when you apply for another job if you resign.

[User] OK. I need to think about that for a while.

[Assistant] All right, but let me know your decision before the end of the day.

[Assistant] Where is the pipe?

[User] The pipe is in my bathroom.

[Assistant] Can tell me how long the pipe has been leaking?

[User] The pipe has been leaking for a couple days.

[Assistant] You do realize that I will need to rip down your wall to get to the pipe, right?

[Assistant] I’m thinking about buying this sweater. I know it’s june now, but it will be perfect for autumn and winter.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* It looks too big for you, but I like the color and the material is good quality. Is it on sale?

[Assistant] Yes, it’s half price. It’s supposed to be too large-that’s the fashion.

[User] I might get one too, but in a different colour. I prefer light blue to while.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* There. It looks great, don’t you think? I’m going to get these jeans as well. I need a new pair. I need a new pair. I’m also going to buy this scarf ready for winter.

[User] I’m getting this beret – doesn’t it look cool? I’d like to get some jeans too, but I don’t have enough cash on me.

[Assistant] Don’ t worry. I’ Ve got my credit card. You can pay me back later.

[Assistant] Oh, yes. My husband also has some laundry. This is his suit and here is his pajamas.

[User] Are they to be dry-cleaned?

[Assistant] Oh, no. Only the suit and coat are to be dry-cleaned. I want to have my blouse tomorrow evening. And I'd like the collar and cuffs starched.

[User] Yes, but not too stiff, right?

[Assistant] Exactly. Is it possible to have my overcoat dry-cleaned, too?

[User] There are a few spots on it. I am afraid you will not have it tomorrow. Dry-cleaning usually takes three days.

[Assistant] Oh, no. I also need this tomorrow evening.

[User] In that case, I suppose I could ask the dry-cleaner to clean up the spots for the moment, and have it well pressed. You might get it back on time then.

[Assistant] That's a good idea.

[User] By the way, a cotton came off your shirt you gave me the day before yesterday.

[Assistant] Yes, I noticed it yet.

[User] The laundry has sewed on a new button for you.

[User] Your balance is 21,290 RIB. How much would you like to take out today?

[Assistant] I think 2,000 RIB will suffice, thanks.

[User] Actually, I have a suggestion for you. We've started a new service called Entrusting Deposit Combination - Have you heard about this?

[Assistant] Will this do? Your major is not related to banking, as you know.

[User] I know that, but making a lot of money makes me crazy.

[Assistant] Money is not the only standard to decide your career. In fact, there are more important things you can refer to when evaluating your career. If I were you, I would choose one I like to do.

[User] Actually, I am afraid I will be stuck in the job forever, if I choose a bad one.

[User] have you finished compiling your resume?

[Assistant] yes, I was precise with every word in my resume?

[User] that's good. Don't forget to design the format. An attractive format is as important as the content.

[Assistant] absolutely, I've highlighted all my strengths and the resume is clear and easy to read.

[User] good. How about your cover letter?

[Assistant] a cover letter? I've never thought about that. Won't a CV do for my job application?

[User] no, a CV is not enough. You should also attach it with a cover letter. Don't overlook it. You're faced with fierce competition in the job market. If your cover letter cannot stand out in the pile of paper, you'll have to wait for it to come out.

[Assistant] sounds reasonable.Even if I'm the right one for the job, many people are applying for the same vacancy at the same time, so I should try my best to catch the Human Resources manager's attention.

[User] yes, you're right. All your preparation efforts are to help you land a job interview.

As I said in my email, we can help you with production according to your needs, but we will only be able to give insite management support services on a limited basis.

[Assistant] Oh, yes. I reviewed your estimate. But it seems like the project blueprint you sent with the estimate is not quite what we had in mind. Did you get a copy of the specs for this project?

[User] Yes, I have several copies, but they're all different versions... The latest I have is version 12, is that current?

[Assistant] No. Later we decided to opt for the prior outline, version 7.

[User] To tell the truth, I don’ t really like him either. He’ s kind of boring and not very active. He always looks unhappy too.

[Assistant] Yes, and he also...

[User] Do you think we should be talking about him like this behind his back?

[Assistant] Probably not. After all he is our teacher. We should try to find something nice to say. If you can’t say something nice you shouldn’t say anything at all.

[User] I absolutely agree. It’s getting dark. We should finish our homework now.

[Assistant] Just a little please.

[User] What about some sugar? Two teaspoonfuls?

[Assistant] No, less than that. One and a half teaspoonfuls please. That's enough for me. That was very nice.

[User] Would you like some more?

[Assistant] Yes, please. I'd like a cigarette, too. May I have one?

[User] Of course. I think there are a few in that box.

[Assistant] that dress looks lovely on you, but it’s not very practical, is it?

[User] no, I don't have an plans to go to a formal dance any time soon, but I love the way it looks. I just had to try it on! What do you think about this? It’s casual, yet sophisticated.

[Assistant] I like the jeans, but you need something to go with the top. It’s too plain on its own.

[User] how about this scarf, these earrings, and an anklet?

[Assistant] that might be going overboard a bit. How about just that scarf with a bracelet?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* that’s a good idea. You have a lot of good fashion sense.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* thanks. You’d be ok on your own. There are loads of fashion victims out there, and you are not one of them. Have you tried it on yet?

[User] yep. Here it is. What do you think?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* that looks great. Just one more thing---you need some high heels with those jeans. Do you want a pair with a plain pattern or ones with a leopard print on them?

[User] the leopard print sounds fabulous. Are they a name brand?

[Assistant] no, they’re a Prada knock-off for 1/10 of the price of the real thing.

[User] that’s even better than the real thing.

[Assistant] if I were you, I’d buy that now while it’s on sale. If you spend more than $100, you get a $50 voucher for more clothes.

[User] Very good. What is the essence of filing, do you know?

[Assistant] The essence of filing I remember is to bring together in a single folder or file all papers relating to a particular subject. And outgoing and incoming letters are kept in this file cabinet.

[User] Yes, 'One customer--one file' is essential. And remember to update them timely.

[Assistant] And each file should be named clearly, either in block capitals or in jet black typed capitals.

[Assistant] Yes. Does the checking account come with a debit card?

[User] Yes. Actually, both accounts come with cards that you can use in ATM machines, so that you won't have to come in to the bank to make a transaction.

[Assistant] That's very convenient.

[User] It is. Our customers really like it. Do you have any other questions about your new accounts?

[Assistant] Yes. What's the maximum amount that you are allowed to have in an overdraft?

[User] The maximum is $1,000.

[Assistant] Is there a penalty for having an overdraft?

[User] Yes, but it's not much. You just have to pay 1% interest on the account. It's much lower rate than any of our loans and it's much better than owing money to most credit cards.

[Assistant] That's true. Is everything alright with my documents?

[User] They're all in order. If you just sign your name here, you'll receive your cards and pin numbers in the mail in about three weeks.

[User] Excuse me, can you help me figure out how to get to the Wudaokou subway station from here?

[Assistant] Sure...first you're going to have to buy a ticket to ride on the subway. The Wudaokou station is on the lightrail, so you'll have to transfer. Be sure you buy a combination ticket for the regular subway and the lightrail. It should cost you 5 yuan.

[User] An after I buy the ticket, where should I go?

[Assistant] You can take the red line train from here, but you'll have to transfer to the blue line at Fuxingmen transfer station. After you transfer, take the blue line that is heading north towards Fuchengmen.

[User] So I transfer from red to blue, then how long do I ride the blue?

[Assistant] You'll take the blue line until you reach Xizhimen. That's a big station, so there will likely be a lot of people getting off at that stop. You can transfer to the lightrail there, you'll have to exit the subway and present the unused portion of your combination ticket to the Ticketmaster, they'll give you a new ticket to use on the lightrail system.

[User] It sounds so complicated!

[Assistant] No, not the really, don't worry about it, like I said there'll be a lot of people there doing the same thing that you are doing, so just follow the crowd, There's only one direction to go, so you won't get on the wrong train. Head north on the Yellow line, and you'll see Wudaokou in just a couple of stops.

[Assistant] Why? This is a fair market price.

[User] It certainly is.

[Assistant] Then what leads you to think that we have to reduce our price? Please tell me candidly.

[User] I look at it this way, suppliers should be able to reduce their CIF price, even lower than their home price.

[Assistant] We give you quotations on the same basis as we quote in the domestic market.

[User] That's the point. Your overhead is in your domestic price, but it can't be carried in the CIF price.

[Assistant] But even with the overhead out, the export overhead must be put in. Finally, it comes to the same thing. Anyway, this is a quality item and should be sold on its value.

[Assistant] Got it.

[User] No we are gonna make the batter. Take some butter and sugar and mix it lightly until you have a nice consistency. Then add some vanilla extract and eggs and continue mixing.

[Assistant] Do I have to use a whisk or can I use the electric mixer?

[User] Go ahead and use the mixer, but put it on medium speed. I'm gonna sift the flour and baking powder separately and then we can mix it with milk and the rest of the ingredients.

[Assistant] OK, so now we need a baking pan right?

[User] Yeah, but grease and flour it first so the cake won't stick to it when it bakes.

[Assistant] Done. So how long do we bake it for?

[User] We can leave it in there for about twenty five minutes. Then we let it cool for ten minutes before we remove the cake from the pan.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Wow! This was a lot easier than I thought!

Then you have to do everything you can to support him (or her). It's natural to think about your own agenda first, but if you help your boss, Ifs likely to move your agenda ahead at the same time. My last boss was great in that regard, she appreciated my efforts and rewarded me when I helped her accomplish her goals.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Thank you for coming tonight, Mrs. Webber. As a teacher, it's great seeing the kid's parents assist our parent-teacher conference night.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Of course! I am very interested to know how my child is doing and also get some insight from you as to how he can improve.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Well Allen is a great student. He is a hard worker and very well behaved, however he does struggle a bit with math.

[Assistant] I guess he gets that from me, I never did well in math when I was a kid. What can I do at home to compliment what he is learning in the classroom.

[User] Well, it's important that you sit with him and review his homework assignments and help him with math. I would also recommend he stay after school twice a week for tutoring sessions. It will really help a lot.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Thanks a lot! I will definitely do that. Is there anything else?

[User] Um...yes. Here is a notice from our financial department, seems your child's Tumion is overdue.

[Assistant] Oh yes, I...

[User] Can you ship this batch of cotton within five or six weeks?

[Assistant] What kind of cottons are they? May I see your list? Ah, machine prints.

[User] Yes, mainly prints. There are a few plain as well. Here they are.

[Assistant] I see. And the quantities.

[User] 200 rolls of each. Make it 200 rolls for each sample.

[Assistant] How many rolls altogether?

[User] Twenty prints and five plain. That makes 5,000 rolls in all.

[Assistant] Six weeks, did you say?

[User] Yes, five to six weeks.

[Assistant] We could manage the plain rolls in six weeks. The prints might be put off to eight weeks.

[User] Eight weeks? We can wait that long.

[Assistant] That's the best we can do just now, I'm afraid.

[User] Can't you make it seven weeks for the prints?

[Assistant] What about taking the prints in two shipments? Two thousand rolls in seven weeks, and the remained a week later.

[User] That might be acceptable. I shall have to cable our Beijing office to get their approval. You can definitely supply in the time you've given me, I suppose.

[Assistant] Yes, I'll see that you get those delivery. Shipping by 'S. S. American' as usual, is that all right?

[User] That's right.

[Assistant] When can we expect your confirmation of the order?

[User] As soon as I hear from Beijing, that will be either Friday or Saturday.

[Assistant] All right.

[Assistant] There's nothing like getting an early start, sir.

[User] What can I do with my baggage while I visit a few more tourist spots?

[Assistant] You can leave your baggage in our storage space, with a deposit.

[User] Isn't my baggage enough of a deposit?

[Assistant] I wish it was, but it isn't. They will still want a credit card.

[User] It's always something, isn't it? Let me think about this for a second.

[Assistant] Don't forget that you have very little time, sir, before you have to check out.

[User] so, which sport do you prefer---basketball or baseball?

[Assistant] to be honest, I don't really care for either one.

[User] I thought everyone liked basketball. Why don't you like it?

[Assistant] I used to play basketball when I was little, and I never scored a goal. Every time I watch a basketball game, I think about how horrible I was at it.

[User] that makes sense.

[Assistant] how about you? What's your favorite sport of all time?

[User] my absolute favorite is ice hockey.

[Assistant] have you ever seen a live game?

[User] sure, many times. It's an exciting game for spectators to watch.

[Assistant] I've never really understood the game.

[User] it's not that difficult. If you want to watch a game with me, I can explain the rules and the tactics while we're watching.

[Assistant] thanks, that'd be nice. When's the next ice hockey game on?

[User] not for a while, but we could watch an old one on the internet so I can explain the game to you.

[Assistant] that's a good idea.
