[User] Hello, come in, I've been waiting for you.

[Assistant] Than you, I'm not late, am I?

[User] No, no, no, not at all.It's just that I've been looking forward to meeting you.

[Assistant] Well, thank you, but it's not all that hard to do, you know. I've been calling your office and sending you proposals for about two years now, and you've never responded before.

[User] Ha, ha, ha! Yes, I guess I deserved that. Let me explain, okay?

[Assistant] Please, I wish you would.

[User] Well, as you probably know I buy from a selected group of suppliers and don't, as a rule, deal with new people.

[Assistant] Yes, I know that. It's why Ive been trying to become one of those suppliers. I hear you're a good man to do business with.

[User] I'm very old-fashioned. I believe in loyalty.Once I start a sales relationship with someone, I stay with him or her, and we so most of our business on the phone. I expect their absolute best price possible and don't haggle.But if I find out they screwed me over, then I find another supplier.

[Assistant] That's pretty much what I heard.

[User] Well, those are my terms. As long as you honor them, we do business.If you break faith and try to take advantage, I'll find someone else to work with. Can you live with that?

[Assistant] No problem at all, Mike. Just give me the chance.

[Assistant] Ok, sure. When did you have in mind?

[User] Well, I was hoping we could reschedule for early next month, Our trip has been postponed until the 2nd.

[Assistant] Why don’t’ we say the 3rd around 2:00 p.m.?

[User] That works for me! I will call you when I get into town to reconfirm.

[User] You see. I told you you'd hit him if you weren't careful.

[Assistant] Well, let's move, I can see a rest area ahead.We can relax there, and see what wildlife is around...

[User] Huh! I am really out-of-shape, Why aren't you out-of-breath?

[Assistant] Because I come hiking every week. That's why I'm in good-shape. I think that I should bring you a walkingstick next time.

[User] How can you say that? But, you could give me a piggyback the rest of the way.

[Assistant] So, you want me to carry your backpack, your thermos flask, our picnic, and you as well. No problem, jump on.

[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] OK, I just want to brief you all on the travel market in Taiwan. To start with, generally speaking, the travel industry in Taiwan focuses mainly on tours. This segment of the industry is well developed.

[Assistant] Sorry to interrupt, Doris, but can you tell me more about these tour groups, what kind of things they enjoy, and so on?

[User] Yes, of course. Most of the time, when they travel, they prefer to do so in large groups accompanied by a guide, who usually takes care of everything, for instance, choosing the restaurants, the itinerary, the mode of transport, and things like that. Another thing is that most travelers to the UK tend to be middle aged, around 40 to 50 or so. This age group is less adventurous; they like good hotels, and have money to spend. They kind of prefer to stay in the cities where they feel safer. They are not into mountain climbing in Wales or anything.

[Assistant] I don’ t mean to interrupt, but can you tell me what plans you have for growing the youth market?

[User] Just a moment. I'll tell you about that in a minute. Where was I? Oh yes. By way of illustration, let’s look at the top five destinations in the UK for this kind of traveler over the last five years. If you look at page ten you can see what I mean. In spite of these characteristics of the market, I still think there is room for growth in the youth sector.

[Assistant] So how do you intend to do that?

[User] OK, let me tell you what we’ Ve been doing. We’ Ve been in touch with the Wales and Scottish Tourist development offices here in Taiwan and they’re interested in working with us to promote their regions to the youth segment. We’ Ve decided to implement an advertising campaign focusing on the excitement of the activities in those regions.

[Assistant] May I interrupt you for a moment?

[User] Go ahead.

[Assistant] How much is it going to cost, and who is going to pay?

[User] Well, at the moment we are trying to work out those details. We haven't managed to come up with a concrete plan yet, but we are working on it.

[Assistant] I see. OK. So what’s next?

[User] Where is the boss? I need him to sign a few documents. I checked in his office, but he is not there. Is he out of the office now?

[Assistant] Yes. Today is Tuesday, so the boss went off to his MBA seminar class. He is out of the office every Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and he has classes all day Saturday and Sunday.

[User] What's he studying?

[Assistant] He is finishing up a special continue education program for executives. He can continue working, taking a few of classes here and there, and in 2 years he will complete his MBA.

[User] Sounds like a tiring schedule.He’s probably got a lot of homework too, eh?

[Assistant] The classes have him out of the office, so that is stressful for him. But as far as homework goes, it is a breeze for him.

[User] Why is that?

[Assistant] He just has his secretary do his homework for him.

[User] Where do we pay the fare?

[Assistant] Just give the man standing there 3 yuan and he'll give you a token. Then, you slip it into the slot at the turnstile and push the turnstile to get in.

[User] Let me pay for it. Where can I get a subway map?

[Assistant] Ask the worker who sells tokens to give you one. It's free fo charge. Actually maps showing subway routes are posted at most stations.

[User] *Hands raised to face* Mud? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district. I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango.

[Assistant] That's what we thought, sir. That's what the news reported.But there was one little mudslide in our district too. Right above our site.

[User] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* Oh, that's terrible! What bad luck! I wish we had never come to this country.But, if it isn't the strikes and the revolutionaries, it's the earthquakes.Our operations here are finished!

[User] It's not your fault, Yuri.But tell me. When will Ivan be able to get out there?

[Assistant] Well, it took me about nine hours to get back here by car.If Ivan leaves tonight, I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch.

[User] Good. I want an estimate of damages as soon as possible.

[Assistant] But sir...

[User] Yes, Yuri?

[Assistant] I wouldn't recommend sending Ivan now.Especially not at night. The roads aren't safe.

[Assistant] No, sir. The bridges are fine.But I've heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.There has been fighting, sir.

[User] Are you serious? Fighting? But I didn't hear anything on the news.

[Assistant] You know the government controls the press here, sir. They don't want it reported.

[User] *Posture slouched, slow movements* Oh, this is terrible, Yuri. Terrible! So we can't even assess the damages. How can we do business in this country? Either we're buried under mud, or we're in danger of getting kidnapped.No, I can't believe this mess!

[User] That sounds like my cat. She likes to scratch the couch with her claws.

[Assistant] I didn't know you had a cat. When did you get her?

[User] About a year ago actually. You've probably never seen her though.

[Assistant] Really? Why is that?

[User] She's not a house-cat. She stays outside most of the time.

[User] That's not as complicated as you suppose.

[Assistant] Is it so easy? I never experienced this. Can you tell me something about it?

[User] It is known that there is a time limit for trademarks. And we should not have a similar trademark with the one in the same field.

[Assistant] Based on what you said, does it mean that we cannot have a trademark like 'genova', right?

[User] Correct. And our country follows the priority of use principle.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* I love eggplant! Unfortunately, it’s quite expensive in my country, so I don’t eat it often.

[Assistant] Because we don’ t grow it much in my country. We import a lot from other countries.

[User] I see. We grow a lot of fruit and vegetables in my country. We export a lot of melons, grapes, oranges and lemons. In your country, do you eat corn on the cob? It's very popular in my country.

[Assistant] We eat it in my country too, but I wouldn't say it’s very popular. Most people buy frozen sweet corn from their local supermarket.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Do people usually buy frozen vegetables in your country, it’s very rare in mine.

[Assistant] A lot of younger people like to buy large packets of mixed frozen vegetables. Peas and sweet corn have been sold frozen in my country for many years. I prefer to buy fresh vegetables.

[Assistant] We went out to the stadium. Bob hadn’t been to a game for a few weeks.

[User] How’d it go? Did we win?

[User] Have you got a scholarship, or are you on your own?

[Assistant] I have a scholarship from my government for four years. How about you?

[User] I have a tuition scholarship from the university. Otherwise I’m on my own.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Do you mean that you’re self-supporting? I didn’t even know you had a job!

[User] Oh no. My family supports me. And believe me, changing foreign money into dollars is heart-breaking. You seem to get so little in return.

[Assistant] Yeah, I really know the feeling. I can’t wait to graduate so I can get a good job and earn my own money.

[User] Would you tell me what education background you have?

[Assistant] I graduated from Beijing College of Foreign Trade. My major was International Trade.

[User] Do you have any experience in this field?

[Assistant] Yes, I have been working in Lush Insurance Company for four years.

[User] OK. Do you think you are proficient in both written and spoken English?

[Assistant] I've been looking forward to visiting your factory.

[User] Actually, you'll know our products better after the visit. I'll show you around and explain the operations as we go along.

[Assistant] That'll be most helpful.

[User] Maybe we could start with the Design Department. And then we could look at the production line.

[Assistant] How much do you spend on design development every year.

[User] About 10% of the gross sales.

[Assistant] No, Nancy, today I'm here to make a withdrawal. I made a formal request 7 days ago.

[User] You want to withdraw on your Time Deposit, right?

[Assistant] That's correct. But before I do, I was wondering if you could give me some advice.

[User] Of course, Mr Hayes. That's what I'm here for. What would you like to know?

[Assistant] Maybe I'm making a big mistake cashing in my Time Deposit before maturity.

[User] This bank charges you 6 months interest as a penalty if you withdraw before maturity. Would it be possible to take the money from your Current Account, for example?

[Assistant] No, not really. My Current Account is for cash flow and couldn't withstand having all of that money taken from it.

[User] You would be using mainly English in this job. Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease?

[Assistant] Yes, I think I speak English quite fluently. I've often explained historical places in Xi'an to foreign tourists in English. They say my English is quite good.

[User] How many years have you been learning English?

[Assistant] Oh, more than ten years. I started learning English when I was still in a primary school from a foreign teacher.

[User] Well, perhaps that's the reason why you are so fluent in it.

[Assistant] Certainly.

[User] Hi, I'm Benjamin. Nice to meet you here. You look great.

[Assistant] Thank you. Nice to meet you too. I'm John. Is this your first time to take a long-distance trip on plane?

[User] No, this is the second time. But I also feel bad because of the lower pressure and the jet lag.

[Assistant] Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Take it easy. It will be OK soon. You see, I take this long-hour plane frequently, but the jet lag still makes me uneasy.

[User] Oh, that's too bad. Do you get a good knowledge of China?

[Assistant] Yes, whenever I think about China, I'd see the Tian'an Men Square. China is a very beautiful country. And I've seen many landmarks in China but I like the Great Wall most.

[User] All of the Chinese are proud of the Great Wall. And it was built before the In dynasty near Shan Haiguan-the First Pass in the World.

[Assistant] Was it built before the In dynasty? I thought it was in the Ming dynasty.

[User] No, before the In dynasty.

[Assistant] Oh, yeah. Thought I am an American, I know quite a lot about China and I like Chinese tea very well.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Both the green tea and the black tea are good for our health. And I usually refresh myself with a cup of tea.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yeah, many of my friends like Chinese tea and whenever I go back to China, I'll take some Dragon-well green tea for them.

[User] Do you like the Chinese traditional silk?

[Assistant] I heard about it, but I don't have any clothes made from silk.

[User] Go and pick some stuff up. The price can always surprise foreign friends.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Good choice! Our ground beef is extra lean, if you know what I mean.

[Assistant] Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts?

[User] No, no no no chicken breasts at the moment, but we have some nice chicken thighs.

[Assistant] No, that won’t do. I’ll take this smoked ham you have here.

[User] Okay, is there anything else?

[Assistant] Is this salami and bologna you have here?

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Yes! It’s very fine meat! Made it myself...

[Assistant] Sounds good. Okay, that’s it.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Wait! We have T-bone, rib eye, and sirloin steaks. They are very fresh! Just came from the slaughter house...

[Assistant] *Hands fidget, deep sigh* But Mom! Today we’re playing football! I love football!

[User] You’ Ve god a fever and playing football isn’t a good idea for a boy with a fever. What’s that on your arm?

[Assistant] I don’ t know. It was there when I woke up this morning.

[User] It’s a rash. I’d better take you to see the doctor. How did you get that bruise on your leg?

[Assistant] I bashed it against the chair in my room.

[User] Does it hurt?

[Assistant] A little, but not much.

[User] Here. Put this wet towel on your face to keep your temperature down. I’ll take you to the doctor’s after breakfast.

[User] It's time to graduate and it's time to find a job. Susan, why do we need to find a job?

[Assistant] We need to work is because we need money to live. We need money for food and clothes and to pay for our house. We need money for many different things, and only when we work, we can earn money. And work can also help us feel that we are useful.

[User] But you know it's hard for a new graduate to find a job right now.

[Assistant] Yes, it is really hard. But you must believe that you will find a suitable job finally. When you work, you can accumulate a lot of experience. Besides, you need to learn a lot of things while you are working.

[User] *Shaking head, avoiding source* I've been fed up with study.

[Assistant] But whether you like it or not, there’s a trend of life-long study to make sure that we can keep ourselves up with the high developing society. And you need to accept this concept positively.

[User] *Shaking head, avoiding source* Oh, my. Why there are still so many things to learn after graduation?

[Assistant] You have no choice, so you'd better adjust your thoughts to be ready to learn anything at any time.

[Assistant] What brings you here?

[User] I'm a flight attendant and I'm here on vacation.

[Assistant] Where are you staying?

[User] I live in the Holiday Inn Lido Hotel.

[Assistant] Oh, it's not very far. And as far as I know it is a fancy place.

[User] I called about that ad we saw in the paper.

[Assistant] For the construction site manager?

[User] That's the one.

[Assistant] What happened?

[User] You were right. It was from a headhunter. She wouldn't tell me anything without a contract.

[Assistant] Well, no surprise there.

[User] No! Not at all. But, I did find out they have more than one position with different clients, so at least one would probably work.

[Assistant] Great, so are you going to sign a contract with them?

[User] I'm going there tomorrow.

[User] Did you get a chance to speak with the sellers about my counter-offer?

[Assistant] Yes, and I think I have good news for you.

[User] Did they accept the counter-offer?

[Assistant] Yes, they accepted your counter-offer, but they want you to pay for the home inspection.

[User] How much will that cost?

[Assistant] It will cost you around five hundred to one thousand dollars for a home inspection.

[User] Can I choose the home inspector?

[Assistant] Yes, you are paying for it, so you get to choose. I would pick the best one.

[User] So, when are you going to inform the owners of my acceptance?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* I will call the owners right now. They will be happy to hear the good news.


[System] We’re chatting about everyday life. Act as if you’re the person the user is talking to. You can add fictional details to stay true to the role, but keep it natural.

[User] This is our rock-bottom price, Mr. Li. We can't make any further concessions.

[Assistant] If that's the case, there's not much point in further discussion. We might as well call the whole deal off.

[User] What I mean is that we'll never be able to come down to your price. The gap is too great.

[Assistant] I think it unwise for either of us to insist on his own price. How about meeting each other half way so that business can be concluded?

[User] What is your proposal?

[Assistant] Your unit price is 100 dollars higher than we can accept. When I suggested we meet each other half way, I meant it literally.

[User] Do you mean to suggest that we have to make a further reduction of 50 dollars in our price? That's impossible.

[Assistant] What would suggest?

[User] The best we can do will be a reduction of another 30 dollars. That'll definitely be rock bottom.

[Assistant] That still leaves a gap of 20 dollars to be covered. Let's meet each other half way once more, then the gap will be closed and our business completed.

[User] You certainly have a way of talking me into it. All right, let's meet half way again.

[Assistant] I'm glad we've come to an agreement on price. We'll go on to the other terms and conditions at our next meeting.

[User] Yes, there's one other point I wish to clear up.

[Assistant] What is it?

[User] My friends in business circles all seem to be of the opinion that the U.S. import and export corporations have become more flexible in doing business recently.

[Assistant] Yes, they're right. In fact, we have either restored or adopted international practices in our foreign trade.

[User] I'm glad to hear that. With a view to expanding and further enhancing the bilateral relations between our two parties, and in particular, exchanging timely views on specific problems in the execution and enforcement of contracts, is it possible for us to have a representative that could stay permanently in Washing-ton D. C.?

[Assistant] Basically speaking, yes, we welcome the establishment of repry-tutorn offices by foreign companies in Washington D. C. Of course, there are more details to be attended to. We cannot settle it in a few words.

[User] Yes, of course. I'll call my home office tonight and let them know about it. When do we meet again?

[Assistant] How about tomorrow morning at 9?

[Assistant] Why? I'd just be dead tired for the rest of the day.

[User] On the contrary! It really refreshes you and gets you ready to attack the day.

[User] How much do you have budgeted for our trip to Las Angeles?

[Assistant] In total, it should be about $5,000 for the week conference. Would you like to see the breakdown?

[User] Yes, I want to know exactly where the money is going. Give me a detailed report.

[Assistant] First we have the airline tickets, which are $500 per person; with four of us going, that's t $2,000. For our accommodations, we're spending $80 a night, per room, for five days. That's another $800.

[User] Weren’t you able to find anything less expensive? We're sharing rooms, right?

[Assistant] I have two people to a room. The $80 room rate is the lowest I could find. With the conference going on that week, all the hotels have inflated their prices, they're making a killing.

[User] So far we have $2,800, what else?

[Assistant] I have budget $25 per Peron per day for food expenses. That totals another $800. And for other incidentals, like take fees, and tips, I have estimated about $400.

[User] Well, that's only $4000. Didn't you tell me your budget was $5000? Where is the rest of the money?

[Assistant] That's my buffer... I wanted to leave a little room in the budget, just in case---it's better to be safe than sorry.

[User] A single room from June 18th to 20th. Is that correct?

[Assistant] Yes.

[User] OK. Do you need a limousine service?

[Assistant] That's exactly what I want. How much does it charge?

[Assistant] That's true. During rush hours, taxis are just as quick as buses.

[User] It was silly of me to have taken a taxi.

[Assistant] At least, it can free you from the crowd. By the way, do you come from China?

[Assistant] Leave the details of making the offer up to me. What were you thinking you should offer?

[User] I absolutely must have this house and will pay three hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more.

[Assistant] It is best to start a little low on the first bid to allow for a counter-offer. How about offering three hundred and twenty thousand dollars?

[User] I hope that the owners aren’t insulted by that offer.

[Assistant] Your offering price is not out-of-line. The owners will either take it or make a counter-offer.

[User] Does it usually take very long for the owners to get back to you with an acceptance?

[Assistant] It usually doesn’t take very long for owners to respond to an offer.

[User] Should I be in touch with my bank to tell them to get the loan papers ready?

[Assistant] The only thing you should do now is relax. You already are pre-qualified for your loan.

[User] That sounds really neat. Is there an extra charge for these swim stations?

[User] I wonder if anyone can call the Ridleys about this. Do you know them well?

[Assistant] Not really.

[User] Do you know where they're vacationing?

[Assistant] I think they went to Mexico, but I'm not sure.It's a bad thing to return home to.They'll come home from their trip, and they'll see half their house burned.

[User] Yes, but at least this way no one gets hurt.It's better to have a fire in your house when you're not home. Don't you think?

[User] your mp3 looks so cool. Where did you get it?

[Assistant] I bought it online.

[User] really? Do you often shop online?

[Assistant] yes. I buy most of my daily necessities online.

[User] I've never tried E-shopping. Is it better than shopping at an actual store?

[Assistant] yes, much better. You can log in a website, browse through many items and categories comfortably at home, order the goods, pay by credit or debit card, and the goods will be delivered to your home.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* sounds good, and I don't have to queue up at the cashier.

[Assistant] and you can still go "window shopping" just like in a real shopping mall.

[User] well, are there any other advantages?

[Assistant] yes, most of the shops are closed at 22 or even earlier, but the internet operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be accessed anywhere.

[User] are there many choices of online shopping?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* sure. You can buy almost anything you can think of.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* I enjoy the folk song and dance show very much.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* I'm glad you appreciate our folk music. But a live performance is much more interesting.

[User] I can't wait anymore. When does the performance start?

[Assistant] The show starts at 7 and is over at around 10 o'clock p. m.

[User] (After the show) It's an excellent musical. The acting was very expressive and the songs and dancing were superb.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's had long run, but the house has always been full.

[User] What do you think of the leading actors?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Personally I liked the main character. He was true to type.

[User] So I can say now that you must have enjoyed the opera. Which scene is your favorite?

[Assistant] I love them all. But if I had to name one as the best, I would say it's the ending.

[User] What's it about? You know, I couldn't help falling asleep.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Did you? I didn't notice that. But still you should know it, for you have seen it with Laura before.

[User] I guess I've done the same thing last time I was here with her, too. I mean falling asleep. For me, this one is not that attractive.

[Assistant] Then I doubt if you like operas at all.

[User] Yes. I like Carmen very much. But I don't mind if you want to tell me about this one.

[Assistant] OK, then. The man was old and he was visiting his wife's grave, with a rose in his hand. When he got there, he saw someone already put a rose on her grave.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Very impressive. And I do like the leading actress who has an amazing voice.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Me, too. There was always a good round of applause every time she sings.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yes, the applause! That was what kept waking me up during the show.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* And it's been such a faultless performance with the perfect lighting, and music. Just amazing!

[User] When did you buy your new computer?

[Assistant] I bought it yesterday afternoon and they delivered it this morning at 10:45.
