[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Thanks. I finally got rid of that old Nissan that got me through college.

[User] What is this, the new Ford?

[Assistant] No, it’s last year’s model.

[User] True. How much did you pay?

[Assistant] $ 14,500. It only has 10,000 miles on it, so it’s like a new car.

[User] Does that mean you’re not going to take the train to work anymore?

[Assistant] Well, sometimes, I think it’ll be nice to drive to work instead. We’ll see. Want to go for a ride?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Great. I hung out with Jo all day shopping, and the went out for dinner together.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Sounds a good weekend. You know it always amazes me that two people as different as you and Jo can become such close friends.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Yeah, I never thought we could be good friends either. We have our differences. She's more outgoing and active while I am more quiet and reversed, but we still get along extremely well. We can talk for hours about anything.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* That's great. I know people who can't stand each other for even five minutes.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* When Jo and I are together, we argue a lot, but that's also part of the fun. Besides, I know she will always be there for me when I need her, and she knows I'll be there for her.

[User] What’s the difference between football and rugby?

[Assistant] Those tow games are quite different. First, there’s the size of the teams. In football, a team has 11 players. In rugby there are 15 players on each team. The biggest difference is that in football, only the goalkeeper can use his hands. In rugby, the ball is usually carried forward by players, though kicking is permitted.

[User] In rugby, players pass the ball by throwing it to team mates, don’t they?

[Assistant] That’s right. However, players can only pass the ball backwards. They cannot pass the ball forwards to their team mates. That’s a foul.

[User] I know how goals are scored in football, but how about in rugby?

[Assistant] If a team carries the ball over the goal line, they score points. A team can also score points by kicking the ball between two tall posts at each end of the pitch.

[User] There’s a lot more physical contact in rugby, isn’t there?

[Assistant] Yes. Players usually need to bring a player down to stop him from moving forward with the ball. This is called ”tackling”, as in football.

[User] The ball is a different shape in rugby, isn’t it?

[Assistant] Yes. It’s not perfectly round like a football. A rugby ball is oval in shape. There’s a match on TV this afternoon. Why don’t you watch it with me? I’ll try to explain the rules and tactics while we’re watching.

[User] But I heard the box office rose up to 15 million in the first week.

[Assistant] Box office cannot explain everything. I do not think it is cheerful or well-made. The plot is old and the female character is not pretty.

[User] My sister has given me two tickets for tonight. It is called 'The life of Rose', a French movie.

[Assistant] What's it about?

[User] How could you handle living in such a big family? Does everyone get along?

[Assistant] Sure. We love each other and take care of each other.

[User] In such a big family, there must be a head. Who's the head of your family?

[Assistant] My grandpa. He has the final word about almost everything. My grandpa is “President,” and Grandma is “Vice-President.” My parents, uncles and aunts try to arrive at a consensus on important questions.

[User] Is a family like yours common in South Korea?

[Assistant] No. Not anymore.Mine is highly educated but traditional family. Most South Korea families today are a lot smaller. In traditional families, the old people are well respected and taken good care of. Ho.

[User] My family setup is a bit different. In New York city, there're only three people, my mother, my stepfather and me. During this summertime, I fly out to California and live with my dad. Dad's getting a lot of money.

[Assistant] Of course there'll be a room for you!

[User] To be blunt, maybe I won't be able to get along with his new wife or her kids.

[Assistant] Yours is a modern family. I'm sure your dad loves you and would want you to stay for the summer. You just need to try your best to get along with your new stepmother and her boys.

[User] But four boys!

[Assistant] It will be a new experience, and you might as well learn to adjust to changes.

[User] You are right, I guess.The world keeps changing, and so do families. But I like a small-sized or medium-sized family where everybody is equal to everybody else. That's what I want.

[Assistant] It is good to have goals in life. If California doesn't work out, come and visit me in Korea, OK?

[User] That's a great idea!

[Assistant] We could share a room! It would be fun. And we could do some traveling around Korea. You could see for yourself what life in a big family is like!

[User] what do you think about all the different diets people go on?

[Assistant] I don't think dieting is good for you. It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with!

[User] but what do you think about people who are obese? What should they do to lose weight?

[Assistant] they need to eat healthy foods, but they also have to increase the amount of exercise they do every day. They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether, though.

[User] so you think it's ok for people who are dieting to eat chocolate?

[Assistant] sure, they can eat some chocolate. As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods, there's nothing wrong with having a small desert.

[User] how about drinking soda?

[Assistant] many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda. Soda should be a treat; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever. If you want to lose weight and you can't stop drinking soda, try to drink soda.

[User] that's good advice. Have you ever tried taking vitamins?

[Assistant] my mother used to make me take vitamins every day, but I don't take them anymore. Vitamins are good as a supplement, but they don't do much good if you don't have a well-balanced diet to start.

[User] how do you know so much about food and dieting?

[Assistant] you might not believe this, but I used to be twice the size than I am now!

[User] it's kind of a big favor. I'm absolutely flat broke, and I owe my landlady $200. she's given me until Friday to give it to her, but I don't get paid until next Monday. Do you think you could loans?

[Assistant] I'd love to help you out, but I'm a bit short on cash this month as well. I had to get a new engine put into my car, and that ate up my savings.

[User] if you can't give me the full amount, a fraction of it would still help. I'll pay you back on Monday. I promise.

[Assistant] let's see, I've got about $50 to get me through the weekend. I can only spare about $20. I would give you more if I had it, I just don't have much money to my name right now.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* thanks a lot Ayden. Every little bit will help. Tell you what, if you aren't doing anything tonight, why don't you come over and have dinner at my place.

[User] No, it's not. Not at all. I'd probably freeze my lungs.

[Assistant] Wait for me a minute. I'll go over to the gym too.

[User] You?

[Assistant] Yes, why not? Just let me get my gym clothes together.

[User] I didn't know you could exercise.

[User] I'm sorry. I just can't imagine you lifting weights.

[Assistant] Maybe not. But I want to start. I need to get in shape. I feel these past couple months that my energy is low.

[User] It's true. If a person doesn't exercise, they get sluggish.That's why I keep running. Even in the winter.

[Assistant] So I need to do something too.

[User] But lifting weights isn't the best thing.You should do some kind of aerobic exercise.

[Assistant] I know. But I want to start today with a little weight lifting.Then I'm going to buy a new swimming suit and goggles, and every other day I'm going to go swim laps in the pool. How does that sound?

[User] I wish I could play a musical instrument. I love music.

[Assistant] nowadays, you can be a DJ. You can mix dance music. You don’t need to be able to play musical instrument or sing.

[User] I'd love to try it.but the equipment is expensive and it was still take a lot of practice.

[User] Are the galaxies in the universe moving through space?

[Assistant] No, the galaxies sit more or less passively in the space around them. But not too much. As the space between galaxies expands, it carries the galaxies further apart - like raisins in an expanding dough.

[User] But I heard that our Milky way galaxy may one day collide with a neighboring galaxy. If galaxies are moving apart from each other, how can they collide?

[Assistant] Well, the universe is a chaotic place, and the gravity from one galaxy, or from a group of galaxies, may disturb the motion of its near neighbors, causing them to collide. However, on average, when you compare two large enough chunks of space, the galaxies in one are moving away from the galaxies in the other.

[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] Do you have much experience with kids?

[Assistant] Yes. I have three sons. Actually I also have a grandson.

[User] To tell you the truth, sometimes I regret having a baby so early. I have been making so many sacrifices just because my husband insisted on keeping the baby.

[Assistant] I understand. I was in your position before. At that time I couldn’t depend on anyone taking care of the children for me. My husband seldom stayed at home.

[User] What about your mother? Did she help you?

[Assistant] Yes, she did a little. But you see, Americans are different from Chinese. You can’t depend on your own mother to be a full-time babysitter. She could baby-sit only once or twice a week. That’s it. I had to care for them most of the time.

[User] I see. So if my little family goes to America, I would end up taking care of my child all the time. My husband would have to make the bread for us. I just don’t know how I would get some education and be able to get a job some day.

[Assistant] Don’ t worry. You can take night classes. I did that when I had kids. And soon your child will be old enough to attend kindergarten. Then you could find a job and work.

[User] Sounds not so easy to me. When that happens, I will be too old to learn.

[Assistant] No. You see, I went back to school to get my Master’ s Degree when I was in my thirties. You won’ t be older than that.

[User] Hey, Daniel, how's it going?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Hey, Daddy, today I had really a fantastic history class.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Wow, it's so strange for you to say things like that. What had happened?

[Assistant] We've learnt the story of Zheg He Sailing to West Ocean. He is a real great navigator.

[User] Did your teacher tell you the route he took?

[Assistant] Yeah, he, with his fleet, came across the Indian Ocean, and arrived at the east coast of Africa.

[User] Great, do you still remember when he started his voyage?

[Assistant] Of course, that is from 1405 to 1433, which is in Ming dynasty.

[User] Good, by the way, do you finish reading the book Robinson Crusoe I've bought for you?

[Assistant] Not yet, you know I have a lot of homework to do.

[User] You should speed up, because the story of Robinson can give you a better understanding about what you learned today.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* OK, great Daddy, after supper, I'll embark on it.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* That's my boy! Wait, Daniel, when is Pirates of the Caribbean on?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Is it about Captain Jack Sparrow, who wants to find the treasure on the sea?

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Exactly, now, tell me the time.

[Assistant] I won't tell you, unless you promise to let me watch it with you.

[User] Most of our customers are foreigners. How many foreign languages can you speak, Elizabeth?

[Assistant] Two. French and Spanish.

[User] And how well can you speak them?

[Assistant] Well, French was my best subject at school. I can read and write it pretty well.

[User] And how about your Spanish?

[Assistant] Well, it's not as good as my French. I can speak it reasonably well, but my written Spanish isn't very good.

[User] I see. Well, we have a lot of Spanish customers, but you wouldn't need to write any Spanish here.

[Assistant] In that case, I'm fit for the position I think.

[Assistant] Oh, yeah, while he was eating, and he was a pretty famous Don.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Cool! Is it safe for us to eat there though?

[Assistant] Sure. In fact, nowadays, you'll see more tourists there than Italians. There are Mafia tours nowadays that go there to eat.

[Assistant] *Jaw tightens, pacing* Didn't I tell you? It's over!

[User] Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I didn't know that you had split up. What happened?

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* It was a few things. The first thing that happened was that we were supposed to go out for a romantic dinner for our one year anniversary, but she stood me up!

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Really! Did she tell you why she didn't show up?

[Assistant] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* No, but I ended up finding out later that night when I saw her drinking with another man at a club near my home!

[User] What was she thinking? Did you confront her about it when you saw her?

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* I wanted to, but I knew that if I spoke to her, I'd just blow up at her, so I decided to just go home. I called her later that the night, but she didn't answer the phone.

[User] I can't believe she would do that to you. It's so dishonest-and rude!

[Assistant] *Jaw tightens, pacing* I know. I still haven't heard from her. The good thing is that I'm so angry with her that I don't feel sad about not having her around.

[User] I bet you that she regrets what she's done. You are such a good catch! She really lost out, didn't she?

[Assistant] I guess so.

[Assistant] I like taking photos out of doors.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Oh, photography, It’s really a good hobby.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Yes, I usually develop and print all my own photos.

[Assistant] I see. How do you like the game?

[User] Terrific. There is one girl said, It is the best game I've ever watched.

[Assistant] Who do you think do better?

[User] Clive was really outstanding. Not only he put on a big show himself, but also he inspired the whole team.

[Assistant] Exactly. He is unbelievable.

[User] On the other hand, I think the other team won everyone's respect. The leader said they could have crumpled at the beginning, but they just carried on and never lost their cool.

[Assistant] They were really tough.

[User] The thing I like most about them is that they did not play with a heavy heart even though at that time the odds seemed to be against them.

[Assistant] What did you have in mind?

[User] Give me a short haircut.

[Assistant] Do you know how short you want your hair to be?

[User] I want you to cut it to a few inches long.

[Assistant] That's pretty short. Are you sure about this?

[User] I've had this idea for some time now.

[Assistant] I'm going to do it, but you have to be sure you really want me to.

[User] This is what I want.

[Assistant] Well, I prefer yogurt to all the other drinks. Have you ever tried a kind of yogurt with old milk in it? It tastes great and very healthy too.

[User] Oh, I haven’ t noticed that before. Maybe I will try next time.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Why don’t you go ahead of me? I have more items than you.

[User] Hi! What are you watching?

[Assistant] It’s a program about islam. It’s very interesting.

[User] Wow! So many people! Where are they and what are they doing?

[Assistant] They are muslims on a pilgrimage to mecca. Muslims call this pilgrimage “haj”.

[User] Why do they go there?

[Assistant] Muslims believe that every man who is able should go on a haj at least once in his life. Mecca is the spiritual centre of the muslim faith.

[User] When muslims pray, they face towards mecca.

[Assistant] That’s right. Unfortunately, so many people go on the haj each year that there are often stamped and people get killed.

[User] I heard about that. The pilgrims must walk around a large, sacred black stone.

[Assistant] That’s right. That’s when accidents often happen. The Saudi government tries to limit the number of pilgrims, to reduce the chances of accidents.

[User] Pilgrimages are common in many faiths.

[Assistant] Yes. In England, Christian pilgrims might go to Canterbury and many Christians go to the Vatican on pilgrimages.

[User] Isn’t there a place in france where people go to get healed?

[Assistant] I think that place is Lourdes. There are many stories of people being healed after visiting there.

[User] Do you think that there is something magical about that place?

[Assistant] Personally. I think that people believe they will be healed and that faith causes a change in their mind that cures them. I don’t think place is magical in any way.

[Assistant] Before I work in the office, I was a teacher. So if possible, I'd like to come back to some school to pass on my new knowledge to more people.

[User] Do you feel your English is good enough for the course?

[Assistant] Yes. You know, English is my present working language. Besides, I scored very high in TOEFL.

[User] Who will be your supporter during your stay in the States?

[User] But it explains why Taylor isn't answering and Femi took time off from work.

[Assistant] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* Poor Femi. Taylor's death must have made her realize that she still cared for him.

[Assistant] Can tell me something about the Spring Festival?

[Assistant] Christmas is also a special time for us to have the family reunion and to express our best wishes to those we love and those who love us in the coming new year.

[User] Christmas has more religious nature, while our Spring Festival is a more traditional holiday. On the New Year's Eve, we have a big dinner called 'Family Reunion Dinner'. One of the traditional food to eat at the dinner is dumplings. After that, the adults usually sit chatting, watching TV, or playing cards.

[Assistant] What are the children doing?

[User] They usually go outside to play firecrackers and fireworks.

[Assistant] I heard one of the purposes to do it is to frighten the devils so they will not come to do any harm to people in the next year.

[User] Perhaps it is like what people told you. At 24 hours midnight, the time when the New Year really comes, we exchange 'Happy New Year' to each other, and parents and grandparents will take out small packages wrapped with red paper, in them are some what we call 'Lucky Money.

[Assistant] Who will get the money?

[Assistant] You do know that it's absolutely freezing out, don't you? I'd put a coat on if I were you.

[User] It wasn't cold out this morning.

[Assistant] Well, it's started raining since then. Look out the window! It's pouring rain out there!

[User] Well, I guess we'd better grab our umbrellas then, as well.

[Assistant] Have a look outside for me. Does that look like hail to you?

[User] It does, actually. Maybe we should wait for it to clear up before we go shopping.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* That's a good idea. But maybe we should move the car so that the hail doesn't dent it.

[User] Ok. I'll go move the car if you turn the heat on. It's a bit chilly in here.

[Assistant] How long do you think this hailstorm is supposed to last?

[User] I don't know. The weatherman didn't say anything about this in his weather report last night.

[Assistant] Maybe we should turn on the news in case it's supposed to get worse.

[User] I don't think we have anything to worry about. Do you want to put on a cup of tea as well?

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Good idea. That will help us to warm up.

[User] At the Beijing Olympics, all four table tennis events were all-Chinese finals. A clean sweep again!

[Assistant] Yes. All international ping-pong tournaments have become a demonstration of Chinese supremacy in the sport.

[User] Do you know any secrets to China's success?

[Assistant] In the first place, I think the whole nation is just fond of the game. It is well grounded with the mass. With huge numbers of people playing ping-pong, we can always spot a handful of potential world champions.

[User] So, the national ping-pong team must be a highly competitive membership.

[Assistant] Sure. There is a careful mechanism for selecting players from provincial teams, and those lucky dogs have to observe strict rules.

[User] For example?

[Assistant] They are subject to hard training. And you know what, for a player on the national team, personal affairs are supposed to take a back seat to training and competitions. They are not even allowed to talk relationships with each other.

[User] Oh, dear! It's an encroachment on individual rights!

[Assistant] Well, ping-pong is our national sport, and we just have to keep winning one honor after another. That's why many people think such rules acceptable. After all, they are funded out of taxpayers'money.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* I can’t believe my English teacher is making me read pride and prejudice!

[Assistant] Why not! It’s a classic. In fact, it’s one of my favorite novels.

[User] But it’s so old.

[Assistant] Don’ t judge a book by its cover. Do you Kwon what it’ s about?

[User] No, not at all.

[Assistant] First of all, it’s a romance novel, set in the early 19th century.

[User] I didn’t realize it was a romance novel. What’s the main storyline?

[Assistant] It’s basically about a father who tried to marry off one of his five girls.

[User] Why does he want to do that?

[Assistant] Since he doesn’t have a son, he hopes that one of the girls will marry a wealthy man. That way, all of his daughters will be cared for.

[User] Won’t they get his inheritance?

[Assistant] No, that’s the problem. Though they are well-off, once he dies, his house will go to his cousin. So, when he dies, the girls will have nothing.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* I see. This sounds interesting! Maybe my teacher isn’t so horrible after all.

[Assistant] So, are you going to read the novel or watch the movie?

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* There’s movie? My teacher didn’t tell me that!

[Assistant] That’s probably because she wants you to read the book first.

[User] It would take a lot less time...

[Assistant] How about this. When you finish the book. I’ll get the movie and watch it with you.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* ok, it just says, ball, blah, blah... "Ray and I look forward to seeing you in June. Write soon. With love, Sue."

[Assistant] are we going to see them in June or are they coming to see us?

[User] didn't I tell you? We're going to Shanghai to stay with them in June.

[Assistant] oh, I guess I missed that.

[User] Jack, what do you think about the election?

[Assistant] I think the campaign is a blockbuster.

[User] How many people have flung their hats into the ring?

[Assistant] Finally 100 candidates ran for one seat.

[User] Who do you think will be elected?

[Assistant] It's hard to say. They all had an active campaign to round up the votes.

[User] I think Mr. White would be elected, you know he has spent millions in this campaign and he blasted the opposition in his campaign speech.

[Assistant] Maybe. Who knows?

[User] Holly, I just heard some terrible news.

[Assistant] Me, too. I overheard someone say Taylor has a brain tumor.

[User] What? No, I heard that he has stomach cancer. His ex-girlfriend said it.

[Assistant] That could explain all his stomachaches. He's trying to hide it from us.

[User] Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the potluck. Have you seen him?

[Assistant] No, but someone said he was in the men's room puking. Follow me!

[User] Hi, Kate.

[Assistant] Hi, Don. What a surprise!

[User] Yeah, I saw someone walking like you, but I wasn’t sure. We haven’t seen each other for how long? Almost three months? But you look quite different now.

[Assistant] Have you noticed what has changed?

[User] Oh, you look quite slender and more vivacious. What have you been taking? Are you on a diet?

[Assistant] Yes. I’m on a diet, but I’ve not taken anything. I just eat less and exercise more. And it really worked in the past three months. I’ve lost twelve pounds.

[User] Wow! That’s great. I sincerely want to achieve my weight loss goals, but it’s difficult for me to keep up the exercise. Also you know, old habits are hard to break.

[Assistant] What kind of exercise do you think I do? I just go to dance everyday after work. I’m taking an amateur dance class. I dance two hours everyday.

[User] Dance? You only go dancing? That’s not hard. I can do that.

[Assistant] Sure. Join my class next week.

[Assistant] It's instructive and inspiring.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Really? It is a weekly, isn't it?

[Assistant] No, it's a semimonthly.

[User] Yes, I was just wondering when you'd have time to go fishing.

[Assistant] Well, I'm not working on the weekend, so we could grab some beer, ice and our fishing rods, and head out to the river.

[User] Thanks for inviting me to your friend’s wedding. I was surprised to hear the bride and groom talking to each other that way during the marriage ceremony. Is that common?

[Assistant] Well, some people use a standard set of words, but many couples today write their own wedding vows.

[User] Your tradition of throwing rice as they got into their car was interesting, but it didn't look like real rice to me.

[Assistant] It wasn't. It was birdseed. We don't throw rice anymore because someone discovered that birds come along and eat the rice and have trouble digesting it.

[User] Oh, I didn't think of that. Well, this reception reminds me of weddingparties back in China. Plenty of food and drink, music and dancing, and interesting traditions.

[Assistant] Wait until you see what happens next! The bride is getting ready to throw her bouquet. Let's go over and watch.

[User] She’s got quite a crowd around her. Oh, look! That little girl caught it!

[Assistant] She’s my friend’s ten-year-old niece. I guess there won’t be another wedding in this family for a long time.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Booze!
