[Assistant] Of course. You see, almost everyone has some kind of hobby.

[User] Yeah, you’re quite right and what’s your hobby?

[Assistant] I like taking photos out of door.

[Assistant] waiting for someone.

[User] you mean the boy you met on MSN?

[Assistant] you're right. He is so funny and I think I'm in love with him.

[User] you must be joking. You can't fall in love with someone you've never met!

[Assistant] I know, but I keep thinking of him every day. And I get really depressed when he's not online.

[User] I think it's just a crush. You can't be serious.

[Assistant] well, this might be silly. But I just can't get him off my mind. And I can't help missing him.

[User] did you tell him?

[Assistant] yes. He said I'm his dream girl.

[User] you shouldn't take it too seriously. It might be a lie.

[Assistant] I know. I can't tell whether he's serious or not so I need your advice.

[User] hi, Natasha, how's life?

[Assistant] great. My family came to visit me.

[User] oh, you must be very happy. How many people are there in your family?

[Assistant] my immediate family is very large. It's my mother, my father, my two older brothers, my younger sister and me.

[User] I have a small family. They are my parents, my younger brother and me.

[Assistant] I thought you were the only child in the family. Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s?

[User] yes, it did. But my parents are ethnic minority people. It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children.

[Assistant] interesting. What do you think about families with only one child?

[User] the child must feel very longly. My younger brother is 10 years younger than me. Before he was born, I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one da.

[Assistant] do you get along well with each other?

[User] yes, we are very close. He is 12 years old and very smart. He always makes us laugh a lot.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* you are very lucky to have such a nice family.

[User] Are there any other cities where it's always hot?

[Assistant] Many.Most of the cities in the southern part of the United States are hot all year.

[User] But why do so many people live there?

[Assistant] Most people grow accustomed to the climate, but there are many others who complain about it all the time.

[User] Are there any cities where it rains a lot?

[Assistant] Several.Two good examples are Seattle, in the state of Washington, and Portland, Oregon.

[User] Tell us about some cold cities.

[Assistant] In the north there are many cities which are very cold in the winter.Boston and Chicago are two of them.

[User] Is it always cold in Chicago and Boston?

[Assistant] Oh, no.On the contrary, there are many beautiful days, especially in the spring and fall.

[User] Did you read this? It says that the number one new years resolution make is to spend more time with friends and family.

[Assistant] Why would that be funny?

[User] Well, think about it. We are a society that is always on the go, not because we have to, but because we want to.

[Assistant] Why?

[User] We work hard and spend less time at home because we are trying to provide for our family with goods and services that are usually unnecessary.

[Assistant] I don’ t agree, but anyways, I think you should start thinking of a new year’ s resolution yourself.

[User] What’s the point? We always make a new year’s resolution and by February we will have forgotten about it. It’s pointless.

[Assistant] Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives.

[User] What about you? Your gym bag is gathering dust and you still have brand new running shoes that are yet to be jogged in.

[Assistant] Well, I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday!

[Assistant] No, not yet. But I like to see what is available.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Can I have a look as well?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Of course, have a seat.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Oh, this one looks really good. And look at the garden. So beautiful.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes, nice. But I prefer this wooden house with a garden fence and a sloping roof.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Yes, but my house has large windows and so gets lots of sun. And it has a small balcony at the top.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Well, you can't compare a small balcony to this large veranda. This is perfect for having a barbecue in summer.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Talking about a barbecue, didn't you say you are organizing one next week?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Done. Oh, don't forget to take napkins, disposable plates, cups and picnic blanket.

[User] I see. What about transport? How does Shanghai compare to London?

[User] And what about the number of people on the streets?

[Assistant] I’ Ve been away on holidays for sometime.

[User] No wonder I haven’ t seen you recently. Where did you spend your holidays?

[Assistant] I went with my husband. Our first stop was Bangkok. We stayed there for 5 days. Then we flew to Hong Kong, stopover for 3 days. Our last stop was China. We visited the Great Wall.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* You must have a wonderful time.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yes. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Have you traveled much, Luke?

[User] No, my wife doesn’t like traveling. We haven’t been traveling for more than ten years. The first time we traveled together was in 1978 when we just got married. We spent our honeymoon in the Alps.

[Assistant] Oh, I see. Yeah. Some people like traveling, some don’t. My husband didn’t like traveling at first, either. He said what’s the use of traveling? A waste of money and a waste of time.At last I got him on the move. After all, he loved me. We went to Bali, Indonesia, one of the most beautiful places in the world. That trip left a very deep impression on him. Since then whenever we have holidays and money, we’d like to patronize the travel agency. Isn’t it a bit dull to shut yourself at one place all your life?

[User] Right on, right on! Well, Jim went to the rink with Sherry and he said it was dy-no-mite! He was low on bread, but Sherry paid for everything.

[User] Is there a lot of crime in your city?

[Assistant] There’s some, but I don’t think it’s a big problem. A lot of it is petty crime, burglary and car theft. There’s very little major crime.

[User] It’s the same in my city. We also have a lot of drug addicts. A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs.

[Assistant] That happens in many places. In my city, there is a very good drug rehabilitation program. The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes, but I don’ t know if that’ s the reason for our relatively low crime rate.

[User] Some people believe that a tough approach is better. Other prefer a more lenient approach.

[Assistant] I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly. If most people have similar amounts of money, they will not think of stealing from others.

[User] I love being photographed! If I were famous, I’d do interviews for all the top magazines, like cosmo and elle.

[Assistant] I wouldn’t mind having my photo taken a few times or being interviewed once or twice, but it would get tedious after a while. Imagine the things the gossip columnists would write about you.

[User] no-one really believes gossip columnists.

[Assistant] I think you’ll find that many people believe what they read in gossip columns. You’d also have to be very careful about every word you said. If you appeared on a chat show and said something silly, it would be reported in all the newspapers and magazines.

[User] I think you’re right about that. I’d need a good manager to be my spokesperson. I could do a lot of charity work, which would help a lot of people.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That’s a great idea. Which charities would you support?

[User] I love children, as you know, so probably a children’s charity.

[Assistant] You’ d have to remember that anything you said or did might reflect on the charity, so you’ d really need to be very careful. Anyway, I’ d be the first to buy your posters and I’ d attend your first book-singing when you wrote your autobiography.

[Assistant] Oh, did you study a foreign language?

[User] yes, I got a grant to study Chinese.

[Assistant] that's a very difficult language to learn, isn't it?

[User] it is, but it's very rewarding.

[Assistant] so you can speak Chinese?

[User] I have tried. But Americans like butter, bread, sugar, and cream too much.

[Assistant] I suppose you’re right, Lee. Maybe that’s why so many Westerners are overweight.

[User] It’s interesting that Americans work very hard at their jobs, do not take naps during the day, and yet they can be so heavy.

[User] We're going to talk about Australia. Or your going to talk about Australia. So first of all how any people live in Australia?

[Assistant] Australia? Oh, there's about twenty million people in Australia right now. A little bit under, but close to twenty.

[User] OK. What are the biggest cities?

[Assistant] The biggest city? The biggest city is Sydney, then it's followed by Melbourne and then Brisbane and then I think it's Perth. But most of the big cities are on the East Coast of Australia. And Perth is on the west coast, but sort of of out there by itself.

[User] OK. Um, if you had to live in one place where would you live?

[Assistant] I like Brisbane. I had my teenage years in Brisbane, growing up in Brisbane, um or maybe Sidney because it is a big city, but Brisbane has got the gold coast and the sunshine.

[User] Oh, nice. Actually, what is the capital city of Australia?

[Assistant] Ah, Canberra is the capital city. But is not the biggest city. Sydney is the biggest city. Canberra was made sort of by the politicians so Sydney wouldn't get to crowded. It's a separate territory.

[User] The company is selecting three employees to attend the marketing seminar next month. Did you put your name in for it?

[Assistant] No, I don't really care too much for seminars... I find them to be either boring ot useless. I mean, how much can you really learn in one afternoon?

[User] It's not just about the things that you learn, you know...seminars are a really great opportunity to mingle and network with professionals in our industry from all over the nation. You can learn a few things, but more importantly, you rub shoulders with the business leaders and make contacts that could lead to potential sales or partnerships in the future. The social mixers are always more important than the seminars anyway.

[User] Is it really that simple? It doesn't seem very efficient to run things that way...

[Assistant] It might not be the most efficient, but if you think about it, it makes pretty good sense. The stockholders are our investors. They own the capital in our company, so they should have say about what is done with the company.

[User] You mean you've never had a boyfriend?

[Assistant] My mom says no boyfriend until I'm in college.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Until college?

[Assistant] Actually, that's what a lot of parents in Taiwan say to their kids.

[Assistant] Yeah? You finally decided to wipe the slate clean?

[User] You got it! I have a new job, I’m living in a new city, with new friends! This is my opportunity to make some small changes in the way I live my life.

[Assistant] So what are you going to do? Take up an art class or something?

[User] Well, first of all, I’ve decided to stop smoking. It’s not that I’m pinching pennies or anything, it’s just that I’ve been smoking since I was sixteen, and I think it’s time to stop.

[Assistant] I’m with you on that one. Anything else you’re planning on doing?

[User] One last thing, I’ Ve decided to come out of the closet.

[Assistant] It’s about time!

[User] Hey, Frank, there is that Janet chick.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Wow, what a great burd!

[User] She sure knows how to strut her stuff.

[Assistant] She's a real turn-on, alright?

[User] And look out she's dressed.

[Assistant] Yeah, I noticed. She must be really loaded.

[User] No way. Her old man is rich. He buys her anything she wants.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Lucky her. Anyway, I think that is just as beautiful.

[User] I think you've lost it.

[Assistant] Well, that's my opinion.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* I admit that she is much prettier than Kate.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Do you like swimming?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Yes. Swimming is one of my most favorite sports, indoors or out-doors.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Me too. Swimming is a very good exercise for health. It combines water, bath, sunbath, and air bath together. It promotes the growth and haleness of muscles, bone, viscera and nerve systems.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I have never thought that swimming can bring us so many benefits. I only know that swimming in great waves and deep running water can train people's spirits, and enable people to be fearless of the hardships, dangers and difficulties and become brave and staunch.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Have you ever swum in a river or a lake?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Yes, but not always. However, I won't let it go if I have a chance.

[User] You should have seen the T. V. show that was on last night, the topic it covered was really interesting, animal rights.

[Assistant] Do you really believe in that? If they are going to focus on something, they should do it on civil rights.

[User] Yes, but we can’t deny that animals are vulnerable, defenseless, and are completely at the mercy of human beings.

[Assistant] I understand your point, but we continue to have transgressions against human rights. If so much attention weren’t devoted to the topic of animals, we would then concentrate more on saving a human being instead of protecting a koala.

[User] You can’t compare apples and oranges. I believe that both topics are important and that we can’t ignore them, the mistreatment of animals can cause a great environmental imbalance. I believe that governments should prohibit activities like poaching.

[Assistant] Well, you are right on that point. This is the reason that I don’ t buy leather and I try to buy synthetic products.

[User] At least you’re doing your part. My contribution is to have a pet in the house that I treat like a member of the family.

[Assistant] As long as you don’ t treat it better than your wife, it’s fine.

[User] So it looks like we start selling in the U.S. next year.

[Assistant] Did Mr. Lin put you in charge of marketing?

[User] He's still not sure whether he wants to put me in charge, or whether he wants to hire an American.But even if he hires an American, I'll probably be transferred to our American office.

[Assistant] Where will it be?

[User] We aren't sure yet. Maybe L. A. I think L. A. would be the best idea.

[Assistant] Is it because of trade negotiations that we can start selling in the U.S.?

[User] Yes, the recent agreements between the two governments have changed everything.Now we have the right to sell in America at a much lower tariff.It's going to be good. We can compete more directly with them.

[Assistant] Great.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Our computers have a high level of quality now.We can demonstrate it. And our prices will be good.So I think it will really be worthwhile.

[Assistant] You seem excited about it.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Well, you know I studied marketing in America.So maybe the thought of going back there to promote our brand is kind of exciting to me. I'd love to be part of the team.

[Assistant] Do you honestly think we can compete though? All the computer giants are there.

[User] Yes, I do. I think we can compete. I think we can make a name for ourselves.It will be hard at first. But if we develop a good advertising campaign, I think we can break into the market.

[Assistant] The company will have to choose a good advertising firm.And then there's the problem of quality.How do we convince American buyers that our quality is good?

[User] It takes some time.Because even if the quality is high, people won't accept a high tech product unless they recognize the name.Name recognition is crucial.

[Assistant] Well, I hope it all works out, John. I think if you're part of the team, things will go well.But you know we'd all miss you here. So I won't say I'm happy to think that you're leaving.

[User] That's very nice of you to say.But if we set up an office there in the States, maybe you could try to become part of it.

[Assistant] Me? No way. I'm dedicated to the company, but I'm not going to leave Taiwan. I'm happy here.


[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] How are the children doing at sport?

[Assistant] I’m very pleased with their performances. Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds. That’s very fast for a kid his age.

[User] He’s not very good at the long jump though, is he?

[Assistant] He’s not bad. He can jump a distance of over four meters. I think he just prefers running to jumping. Jimmy’s very good at the high jump. He can jump over two meters. Again, that’s fine for someone hi.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Two meters? That means that the high jump bar is above his head! Are any of them good at long-distance running?

[Assistant] The longest race we run is the 1500 meters. A few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes.

[User] How are they at swimming?

[Assistant] They’re ok. I ask them to swim 500 meters each day. That’s 20 lengths of the swimming pool. They’re not very fast, but that’s ok. I just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape.

[User] Kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters.

[Assistant] I’d be afraid to jump from that height!

[User] I think that these kinds haven’ t learnt to be afraid yet. She started diving from a lower height, but she soon wanted to go higher.

[Assistant] It seems that they really enjoy to go faster, higher and further.

[User] Do you miss your family?

[User] How often do you write to them?

[Assistant] Once a month.

[User] Wow, American football is more exciting than I thought.

[Assistant] You’re in America now, my British friend. We just call it football.

[User] Oh, right. So, I can’t quite follow what’s going on...who’s winning?

[Assistant] The Giants are up by three points because of the field goal they kicked, but the Redskins have the ball and there pretty close to the end zone.

[User] Wow! What a hit!

[Assistant] Yeah, he tackled him so hard his helmet came off.

[User] Is he ok?

[Assistant] It looks like it, he’s getting up.

[User] I guess he hit him too hard; the referee just called a penalty on the home team.

[Assistant] The Giants?

[User] Yeah.

[Assistant] Well, here we go again.

[User] What happened? Why did everyone get so quiet?

[Assistant] *Hands fidget, deep sigh* The Redskin’s quarterback just threw a touchdown pass for seven points. We’re losing again.

[Assistant] That's the one. He also was famous for never giving up on his goals.

[User] That's right. He ran for office quite a few times before he was finally elected.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* And I also admire him for his courage in fighting for equal rights.

[User] Do you get paid onetime?

[Assistant] No, I don’t. I get a bonus each month, depending on the value of the contracts I sign with clients.

[User] Do you have any breaks?

[Assistant] We have an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1. we can take coffee breaks during the day. My boss doesn’ t mind, as long as we get out work done on time.

[User] My boss gets annoyed if we take coffee breaks. I suppose your job involves a lot paperwork, doesn’t it?

[Assistant] There’s some paperwork, but most of the time we put any information onto computers. Then we can send information to each other by email or across the network. Do you work in a cubicle?

[User] Joanne, let’s not make this divorce any more acrimonious than it already is, okay? Let’s just get down to business and start dividing this stuff up fairly, so we can go our separate ways, alright?

[Assistant] Fine with me. I just want to get this over with. It’s important we make a clean break. I should have signed a pre-nup.

[User] What?

[Assistant] Nothing! Anyway, you’re right, there’s no reason this has to be nasty. My lawyer tells me you’ Ve accepted our alimony proposal and the division of property, as well as the custody agreement-I keep the cat and you get the dog. So that’s done...finally.

[User] Let’s not go there, Joanne! Ok, so let’s start with the record collection, I’ll take the albums I contributed and you can have your cheesy disco albums back.

[Assistant] Fine, but I’m keeping the antique gramophone as my grandfather gave it to me.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* I believe that was a wedding present to both of us, Joanne. And you hardly ever use it!

[Assistant] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* He’s my grandfather, and he never really liked you anyway!

[User] Whatever! Alright, I’ll concede the silly gramophone, if you’ll agree that I get the silver tea set.

[Assistant] How typical, when are you ever going to use a silver tea set? Fine! I don’ t want to drag this out any longer than necessary. What’ s next? What about these old photographs?

[User] Which ones? Let me have a look. Wow, look at that! That brings back memories... That?

[Assistant] Our trip to Italy! I remember that day. We were going to visit the Trev fountain, and we got caught in the rain...

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* ...and you looked so adorable with your hair all wet. I had to take a picture of you standing there in that little alley, smiling and laughing in the rain...

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Oh, we really did have fun back then, didn’t we?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Oh, Joanne, are we making a big mistake? I know our relationship has been on the rocks for sometime but are you sure we can’t reconcile and try again? I still love you.
