[Assistant] I also need to check this magazine out.

[User] You’re not allowed to do that.

[Assistant] I don’t understand.

[User] It’s our policy.

[Assistant] What can I check out?

[User] Only books or videos.

[Assistant] I need this magazine.

[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] 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] *Jaw tightens, pacing* 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] Hello, 8520388 2.

[Assistant] Hi, this is Maria. Is that Shirley?

[User] Hi, Maria, this is Shirley.

[Assistant] Shirley, do you know today's homework from our economic law class? I have written it on a piece of paper but I can't find it now.

[User] Hold on for a moment please. I'm fetching my textbook.

[Assistant] OK.

[User] Oh, the homework is to explain what economic law is both in broad sense and in narrow sense.

[Assistant] Explain the economic law? An essay question again?

[User] Yes. You can use your textbook for your reference.

[Assistant] Are there any clear answers in the book to this question?

[User] I don't think so, Maria, but I think you can look for information on the Internet.

[Assistant] OK, thank you, Shirley. You are very helpful. I have another question. When does the Economic Law of China come into effect?

[User] Oh, there isn't such a code called economic law. The Economic Law of China is a general concept for several laws.

[Assistant] There isn't such a code?

[User] Yes, it's a general name for several laws related to economics, like Commercial Law, and Law of Central Bank.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Got it. Thank you, Shirley.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* The performance is amazing. I'm curious about how they did it. I mean the way they sing.

[Assistant] They must have practiced a lot. The perseverance has made them they are today.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* So cool. Someone gave me this flier at the exit. What's it about?

[Assistant] Let me have a look. Well, it lists some shows that will be on next week.

[User] Oh, tell me about it. Anything interesting?

[Assistant] Hmm... Oh, this one, 'The Drunken Beauty'. This is a real classic.

[User] 'The Drunken Beauty'? It's funny that we have 'Sleeping Beauty' in my country. Anyway, what's it about? Is the beauty a drunkard?

[Assistant] Of course not. She was said to be the most beautiful woman in her time and that made her become the queen. They play was famous for its singing and dancing.

[User] Sure, people do that when they are drunk. What about the actress?

[Assistant] She is an opera star in China. Her teacher's teacher is Mei Landfang.

[User] Oh, I've heard about him before. He even created a special dance of sleeve shaking.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* You are such an expert on it. I don't know that.

[User] You know, interest is the best teacher.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* So, want me to book the tickets again?

[User] What does it say?

[Assistant] I didn’t get accepted.

[User] *Hands raised to face* You can’t be serious!

[Assistant] I’m serious.

[User] Are you all right?

[Assistant] *Lips quiver, tears held back* NYU was my first choice.

[Assistant] I know. i could not believe it when i got hit by that storm.it was pouring with rain all afternoon.

[User] We really have some miserable weather sometime. i wish i would live somewhere which were sunning all year round.

[Assistant] If it was sunning all year round there would be drought.you probably would not like it either.

[User] I guess you are right. maybe i just wish the weather could be a little more predictable.

[User] Hi Mary, how's it going?

[Assistant] Well, last night I had a big argument with Ann.

[User] Terrible. It must be something serious. You two are such close friends.

[Assistant] Now that I look back at it, it wasn't that big a deal. I shouldn't have lost my temper.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Really? What happened?

[Assistant] It's just we've been planning to go the beach for a while, and we decided we could both make it this weekend. Then out of nowhere she called me up, said her boyfriend had made plans and that she need to cancel the trip. I was so angry when she told me that I said she didn't care about our friendship at all.

[User] That's pretty harsh.

[Assistant] I know, but I was so upset. I mean, come on! Does she have to do everything her boyfriend says?

[User] You know she probably feels just as bad.

[Assistant] Well, I think I was being a little selfish myself. I know they don't get to see each other very often.

[User] Well, in that case I guess maybe you can be more understanding. You shouldn't let a trivial thing like this stand in the way of your friendship. After all you can go to the beach anytime you want.

[Assistant] Yeah, I'll call later to patch things up.

[Assistant] Don't do that to me, honey. Give me a chance, please. I make a solemn promise never to drink alcohol again.

[User] *Arms crossed, body tense* How many chances should I give you? I've given up on you!

[Assistant] Oh, I am so tired. My back is sore and my neck hurts.

[User] That's normal. You have been sitting for three hours, with your attention highly concentrated.

[Assistant] You are wrong, Shirley. I was always absent-minded in the class. I meant to concentrate on the class, but I was just so tired. Maybe I am old.

[User] No. You are just burning yourself out these days. Have a good rest and you will feel energetic again.

[Assistant] One of my friends took the Adult College Entrance Exam last year. He filled the school column with his name, and his score was relinquished.

[User] How could he make such a silly mistake?

[Assistant] He said he hadn't taken any exams for ten years, and couldn't get used to it immediately. He was extremely nervous then.

[User] He lost a very good chance to go to college, didn't he?

[Assistant] Yeah. The test was fairly easy and almost every test-taker could pass that exam. Adult College Entrance Exam is much easier than college entrance exam. And there are fewer subjects.

[User] What did you do over the weekend?

[Assistant] I went a global warming rally. It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment.

[User] Do you think there's anything we can do to reverse the damage that's been done already?

[Assistant] It might not be possible to fix the problems that we've created for ourselves, but there are lots of things we can do to prevent more damages from happening.

[User] Like what?

[Assistant] Well, we can use public transport instead of taking our cars for a start.

[User] What else can we do to protect the environment?

[Assistant] If you do have to drive, you should make sure that your car runs on unleaded petrol. Also, your home should use sources of renewable energy.

[User] How about recycling? Does that actually help?

[Assistant] Yes. You should take your glass, paper, plastic, cardboard, and tin cans to a recycling center.

[User] What do you think the biggest worry for our future is?

[Assistant] I think that the issue of greatest concern is having enough sources of clean water for everyone.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* I had no idea you were such an environmentalist before!

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* To be honest, in order for the earth to continue to be a habitable place, we're all going to have to become more interested in the environment.

[User] Oh, your precious game. You watch the same game every year, and each year your beloved hometown team loses by at least three goals!

[Assistant] Oh no you didn’t. You didn’t just insult the Sals-bury Seals, did you? Why don’t you just. just go and return all of those stupid clothes and not come back until the sales are over?

[User] *Fists clench, eyes burning* I might just! Enjoy your stupid game!

[User] Hey, Mike. You've been surfing the Net for quite a while. What on earth are you searching for?

[Assistant] It's something relative hackers. I often hear people talking about them, but I don't know much about them.

[User] Well, roughly speaking, a hacker is a computer buff.

[Assistant] You mean a guy using enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the computer?

[User] You can say that.

[Assistant] But why are people always having such a negative attitude towards them?

[User] They must have mixed hackers with crackers.

[Assistant] What is crackers then?

[User] There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but they aren't. They break into computers and break the phone system. Real hackers call these people crackers, and want nothing to do with them.

[Assistant] So they are two totally different concepts.

[User] Well, the real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible and not very bright, and feel that being able to break security does make you a hacker any more than being able to start cars without keys makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word hacker to describe crackers. This irritates real hackers to no end.

[Assistant] I see. Then the basic different is, hackers build things, crackers break them.

[User] You got it.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Thanks a lot.


[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.

[Assistant] But couldn't you have done it when you felt better?

[User] Yes, I probably could.

[Assistant] You have already missed one other assignment; when can I expect the make-ups?

[User] Next class meeting.

[Assistant] That will be soon enough, but make sure you get next week's assignment in as well, all right?

[User] What are you reading about in that science magazine?

[Assistant] There are several interesting articles on recent scientific breakthroughs. I just finished reading one about cloning.

[User] I’m not sure I like the idea of that. I don’t want people copying me or other people. It could be very confusing.

[Assistant] According to the article, you have no real need to worry. Research nowadays is focussing on cloning parts of a human body to replace damaged or lost parts, not on recreating a whole human.

[User] In the future, that could be possible.

[Assistant] In this article, scientists say that if you took the genes from someone and tried to create a copy of a person, there’s no guarantee that the copy would look or act like the original!

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Really? What else have you discovered?

[Assistant] I read about how scientists are using material from plants and animals to create new medicines. For example, an animal be immune to disease that affects human. So, scientists find out why it’s immune.

[User] I'm the hazardous one here. I made three people fall over!

[Assistant] Did you enjoy it?

[User] *Shaking head, avoiding source* Oh, don't talk to me about yesterday! It was the most awful evening I've ever had.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Why! what happened?

[User] *Shaking head, avoiding source* Well.John had promised to be my date, but he stood me up. I waited for a full hour in the cold wind.

[Assistant] So how long did you stay?

[User] What is the most unexpected thing you experienced in space?

[Assistant] I wasn't quite prepared for the view of the Earth as we left. It was just awe-inspiring. It emerged from just a slightly curved horizon to a whole Earth, where you could look across oceans and continents in a single glance. I wasn't quite prepared for that. It's inevitably etched in my memory.

[User] When viewing the Earth from space, do you feel detached from humanity or more a part of the totality of humankind?

[Assistant] Detached. You're literally detached from one planet, captured by another. Your only link to reality is the Earth out there; fortunate - 1y, it stays in view the whole time.

[User] There're a lot of suspicions that the International Space Station is never going to become reality. Is it going to be some future project that never happens?

[Assistant] I believe it's certainly for real. It without question has suffered a lot of delays. But there's hardware sitting on the pad right now and it's due to go off in December. It is a reality. It has just taken longer to get literally off the ground.

[User] There were a lot of talks during the Bush administration about a not too distant future Mars mission. It seemed to fizzle out. Do you think that this Shuttle mission will reignite the public's passion for space and get us to Mars sooner?

[Assistant] I hope this flight is not just a one-time affair, that it does re-ignite people's interest to push on. But only time will tell.

[User] You had gone to the moon twice, orbited space around the Earth lots of times, and of course you have had the most amazing views that a human being can have. How long do we ordinary beings have to wait to feel the weightlessness? I just can't wait.

[Assistant] If I were the man making the decisions, you could get in line tomorrow. I strongly support ordinary people going into space. Unfortunately, I don't think it will be in the near future.

[User] When it comes to select a fund, you will always read “Four performance is not an indication of future results”, can you believe that?

[Assistant] Maybe it is right since everything is possible. You know the market changes quickly these days. But I still have doubted those funds with bad stock performance. For me, his stock record is the very important criteria to decide which to buy. I really want to decrease the risk reach the minimum and achieve the maximum returns.

[User] I don't know why people are just mad about David Peckham. Is there really anything so fascinating with him?

[Assistant] He appeals to the fans thanks to two things.

[User] You mean he plays well? Yeah, he often scores by free kicks in crucial games. But a football match is by no means merely a show of taking free kicks.

[Assistant] Certainly not. What really counts is to play as a team, passing the ball amongst each other, dodging defenders. Free kicks are a result of all the teammates' collective efforts.However, a few free kicks often make everything different, especially scoring one such goal in the nick of time.

[User] In the case, maybe facial charm should be his leading card. After all, the majority of his fans are girls.

[Assistant] Yes, his face looks are manly, with a straight nose and infinite eyes. As a man of medium height in the West, he keeps a powerful but elegant figure, looking neither lanky nor stout.

[User] Office software like Windows might be one of the best inventions in this information age. It saves us from so much work and makes the communication even around the world much easier.

[Assistant] Fully agree. I do enjoy the convenience though I am still a beginner in using Excel. The latest office equipment is more type-functional. It combines fax machine, copy machine and printer in one. It saves a lot of place one machine instead of three.

[User] Yes, this machine is even smaller than those before.

[User] Oh, poor you. You know what? I found a new way to learn Chinese and it works very well.

[Assistant] You did? Do tell me. I've spent all these months trying to learn something new about it, but I've made little progress!

[User] Sure. I'm learning Chinese through songs.

[Assistant] So you're learning Chinese songs?

[User] You can say that. I can actually sing some of them now.

[Assistant] That's a real achievement. How did you do that?

[User] I start by listening to the song a few times and after several times I am able to follow the singer.

[Assistant] It makes sense.

[User] It does. I've learned some Chinese folk songs this way. They are clearly presented and easy to follow.

[Assistant] Can Join you, Katherine? I do want to have a try.

[User] Why not? I downloaded a beautiful song the other day. We can learn it together now.

[Assistant] From China.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Really? You don’t look very Chinese to me, if you don’t mind me saying so.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* It’s fine. I am actually from Mexico. I was in China on a business trip, visiting some local companies that manufacture bathroom products.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Wow sounds interesting! Excuse me if I am being a bit nosy but, how old are you?

[Assistant] Don’ t you know it’ s rude to ask a lady her age?

[User] Don’t get me wrong! It’s just that you seem so young and already doing business overseas!

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Well thank you! In that case, I am 26 years old, and what about yourself?

[User] I am 40 years old and was born and raised here in the good old U.S of A, although I have some Colombian heritage.

[User] Have you thought of moving at all, Sarah?

[Assistant] We’ Ve thought about it, but my husband and I can’t afford it right now. The only thing we could afford would be living in the slums, which is something I don’t want to do.

[User] Buying a house can be expensive, but there are ways to find cheaper houses.

[Assistant] Like what?

[User] Well, sometimes the city auctions offer houses to the community. You’d have to make a quick decision about the offer in a day, but you would definitely save money doing it that way.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* That’s a good idea. Do you know anyone who has done that before?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Sure, my sister-in-law and her husband just bought a house that way. They’re pretty satisfied with it.

[Assistant] Is the house pretty run-down.

[User] Not at all. The woman, who owned it, took good care of it. But when she died, she had no family left and no will, so the government had to sell it for her.

[Assistant] Was it a very old house?

[User] It was about 75 years old. There were a few repairs that needed doing, but it didn’t take a lot of money or time.

[User] What does Mona like to do?

[Assistant] Oh, she enjoys spending money on fancy parties.Mona loves to wear sexy dresses, and she has quite a bit of jewelry.

[User] Wow... She sounds like a high maintenance wife.

[Assistant] I guess so. She is also interested in politics. She knows everyone in city government.

[User] Politics can be an expensive hobby.

[Assistant] She is pretty serious about it. Her uncle is a mayor. She wants to follow in his footsteps.

[User] Who was the best teacher that you ever had?

[Assistant] That would have to be Miss Baymler, my fourth grade teacher.

[User] What was she like?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* She was patient, kind, fun, smart, caring, and yet strict, too. I really learned a lot from her.

[User] What kind of things did you learn?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* She taught us that you can do anything that you want to do.

[User] *Hands raised to face* Anything? Do you really believe that we can do anything?

[Assistant] If you really want to do something and you work hard at it, I believe you can do it.

[User] You said she was strict. Did she have a lot of rules?

[Assistant] She had some rules that helped us to feel comfortable. For example, the students had to treat each other with respect, or they would be disciplined.

[User] I see. She sounds like she really cared about her students.

[Assistant] Yes. She treated us all fairly. She don’ t have any teacher’ s pets.

[User] *Hands raised to face* Really? Doesn’t every teacher have a teacher’s pet?

[Assistant] Well. To be honest, I usually sucked up to teachers because I wanted them to give me good grades. However, Miss Baymler didn’t treat me any differently. She really didn’t have any teacher’s pets.

[User] Do you know what she is doing now?

[Assistant] As a matter of fact, I do. After she taught our class, she got married and moved to another city. Then, she started writing children’s book.

[User] Have you ever read one of the books?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Of course! Both children and adults enjoy her books.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* The seats in the middle of this stadium are great, but they're already occupied by somebody else.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Oh, thank you for pointing that out. By the way, have you been following NBA for this season?

[User] Of course, tomorrow evening there will be a most exciting game.

[Assistant] Who plays who?

[User] Rockets vs Lakers. Yao Ming, my idol, will appear in front of several hundred million of the worldwide audience.

[Assistant] It's amazing. And when did he begin to play in the NBA?

[User] In 2002. And since then he has attracted more attention than ever.

[Assistant] I can't consider you as a little kid any more. I know he is very tall.

[User] Oh, you know something. He is 2.26 meters tall. But he is also nimble and skillful.

[Assistant] I also heard if a player has committed 5 fouls then he must be out of the game.

[User] Yes, what's worse is he can't take any further part in the game.

[Assistant] That's really terrible. Oh, God, we forgot to cheer for Daddy.

[User] Oh, Ralph, I heard it is very dangerous traveling in space. Disasters have happened before. If the spaceship were out of order. . .

[Assistant] You should be optimistic about this. Things have taken a good turn. You should remember that less than two centuries ago the dangers of train travel seemed similarly terrible.

[User] But is it possible that travelers could be hit by meteors?

[Assistant] It's once in blue moon.

[User] What do you think is the real danger man faced in space?

[Assistant] The main one is radiation. There are two sorts of radiation man must fear in space. The first is radiation from the sun, and this is particularly dangerous when the sun is very active and explosions are occurring on its surface. The second, less harmful, comes from the so-called Van Allen Belts.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Cool down, man. Everyone is fed up with the rush-hour traffic. But life isn't really all that. You should take the initiative and make some changes first.

[User] What should I do then?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I recommend you ride a bike instead of commuting by bus. It may offer you many benefits. First, it's good for your health. I'm afraid it's not necessary for me to further elaborate. While lots of people spend time like an hour each morning exercising, a bike ride to work not only builds you up, but also makes full use of time. You might as well sleep out for a longer hour.

[User] *Lip curls, sneering* I know cycling is always a more favorable choice than a bus. After all, it's a sport. But do you think it a pleasant experience to take in the dirty, polled air on the road?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Well, such things are just unavoidable in a great metropolis like Beijing. I think a still more desirable benefit is psychological. Bicycling home after work can help release your stress. Life in the offices is miserable. You just sit there in a daze, gazing at the monitor and dealing with files and documents. Why don't you give a full play to your energy after work? Enjoy the speed on the road. Just think, you are flashing past the poles with your own energy. How great!

[User] You know how much I want to be on the team, and now there is an opening for me.If I don't go to practise today.They'll get someone else and I'll miss my chance.

[Assistant] I don't care about baseball.You know I need to practice for the chess championship and you promised to help with me if I washed the dishes for you last Sunday, and I did.

[User] I know, and I will.

[Assistant] When?

[User] After baseball practice.

[Assistant] And then, it'll be dinner time, then homework, and then your Show is on.You are going to break your promise.

[User] No, I won't. I'm going to skip TV tonight and work on your chess game with you if that's ok with you.

[Assistant] Well, I'd rather do it the way we set up.But if you promise to give me your best game, it's ok with me.


[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] What stresses you out the most?

[Assistant] Probably my parents.

[User] How so?

[Assistant] Well, during school, they wanted good grades. Then after I got a job, they wanted me to get a better job. And finally, they want me to get married.

[User] You have to deal with a lot of pressure from your parents.

[Assistant] Your parents are not like that?

[User] Ever since I brought home some bad grades in elementary school, they never expected much.

[Assistant] You're lucky.

[User] What do you do to deal with the stress?

[Assistant] Not much I can do. It's always there. I sometimes go out with some friends and drink, but that's only a temporary solution. The stress always returns in the morning.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* That sucks. You wanna go grab a beer?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Sure. Sounds great. Let's go.


[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] *Laughs, body relaxed* Tony looks very handsome in the suit.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* He prefers suits to jackets.

[User] Judge from his look, he's a very serious person.

[Assistant] As a matter of fact, he is.


[System] We're talking about daily life. Respond like the person the user is conversing with, and feel free to create details to keep the character intact, but remember to stay natural and authentic.

[User] Lily thinks that the job takes a back seat to the family after she is married.

[Assistant] She must be a good wife.

[User] Not necessarily. This is only what she says, not what she does.

[Assistant] I see.


[System] We're having a talk about day-to-day life. Act like the person the user is speaking to. You can make up some details to stay in character, but above all, stay natural.

[User] What's the weather like?

[Assistant] I don't know. I just woke up.

[User] Why don't you look outside?

[Assistant] Okay. It looks like rain.

[User] Why do you say that?

[Assistant] The sky is gray.

[User] Is it raining right now?

[Assistant] No.

[User] How do you know?

[Assistant] The street isn't wet.

[User] I have to go shopping today.

[Assistant] You'd better take an umbrella.


[System] This is a chat about daily life. Act as though you are the person the user is speaking to, making up details as needed to stay in character while remaining natural.

[User] Hey there, you look a little lost. Are you new here?

[Assistant] Yeah how’d you know?

[User] You can always spot the newbies. I can give you a few pointers if you want. Were you trying to use this machine here?

[Assistant] Yeah! I just started my training today and I’m not really sure where to begin.

[User] It’s ok, I know how it is. This machine here will work out your upper body, mainly your triceps and biceps. Are you looking to develop strength or muscle tone and definition?

[Assistant] Well, I don’ t want to be ripped like you! I just want a good physique with weights and Carpio.

[User] In that case you want to work with less weight. You can start off by working ten to fifteen reps in four sets. Five kilo weights should be enough. Now it’s very important that you stretch before pumping iron or you might pull a muscle.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Got it! Wow is that the weight you are lifting? My goodness that’s a lot of weight!


[System] This is a conversation about everyday life. Take on the role of the person the user is talking to and feel free to add details to keep it in character. Above all, stay natural.

[User] I don't know how John can put up with his son, who fools around without working.

[Assistant] He's out of John's hands. Nothing he can do about such a black sheep.

[User] Do you like ice skating?

[Assistant] I have never tried it.

[User] Then you've got to try it. Let's go to the skating rink on Thursday.

[Assistant] Sorry, I don't think I can.

[User] Friday then. How about it?

[Assistant] Friday is great.


[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] Gordon, you're ever so late.

[Assistant] Yes, I am sorry. I missed the bus.

[User] But there's a bus every ten minutes, and you are over 1 hour late.

[Assistant] Well, I missed several buses.

[User] *Hands raised to face* How on earth can you miss several buses?

[Assistant] I, ah..., I got have late.

[User] Oh, come on, Gordon, it's the afternoon now. Why were you late really?

[Assistant] Well, I... I lost my wallet, and I...

[User] Have you got it now?

[Assistant] Yes, I found it again.

[User] When?

[Assistant] This morning. I mean...


[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] Let's have seafood tonight and then go see the new movie at Mall Cinema.Betsy told me it's a beautiful love story and I shouldn't miss it.

[Assistant] *Lip curls, sneering* Oh, Goodness, please not again.That's what we did last week.

[User] No, we didn't. Last week we went to see that movie about a man's struggle against mental illness.

[Assistant] Right, it was a chick flick, just like this one, so what's the difference? Besides, this is the last week for the third movie in Destroyer series and I want to see that on a big screen. Action movies need to be seen in a theater on a big screen.

[User] Oh, yeah, and I did promise to see it with you if we went to that movie last week.But you liked that movie, didn't you?

[Assistant] Oh, sure, it was great. I had popcorn for dinner and paid the price of a movie ticket to get a two-hour nap.

[User] It wasn't that bad, and you're the one that insisted on skipping dinner.We went to an excellent restaurant.

[Assistant] That place doesn't have a single meat dish.Just fish and shellfish and you know I don't like fish that much.

[User] And I don't like meat that much.The only meat I eat is chicken.

[Assistant] But when I pick the restaurant, we go to a place that has both chicken and fish. I always respect your food preferences.

[User] Well, I suppose that, to be fair, you should get to pick the movie and we can go to a restaurant that serves meat.

[Assistant] Now you're talking, we can see that love story next time.
