[User] He’s fine. He retired last week. It’s turning going in his life. Now he can relax and enjoy his retirement.

[Assistant] He can spend more time with his grandchildren.

[User] Oh, I don’t think he wants to. He wants to travel to several different countries around the world.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* So, he wants to have a more active retirement. Good idea!

[User] How do you want to spend your old age?

[Assistant] In the same way, probably.

[User] Yes, I Went there once last summer.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Really? What did you think?

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* I think it is amazing. You can enjoy both the traditional Chinese culture as well as the vitality of a modern cosmopolitan city. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the subway.

[Assistant] Was it that crowded?

[User] Yes.These were always so many people.After taking the subway during the rush hour, you'll envy sardines in their cans.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Oh, maybe I can take the bus or even rent a car.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Sounds not bad! You know, the only thing I worried about is the safety. I’m not an active exerciser and my muscle may be not strong enough for such an intense sport.

[User] Well, Then you can go to the three-day-long training camp first. There’re some professional teachers and they can guide you to do certain necessary exercise.

[Assistant] I will think about it.

[Assistant] Of course. It's the tradition game in winter, and with good reason. Don't you like watching it?

[User] Of course I do. I love it. All the games are exciting and the competitors are respectable.

[Assistant] That's true. For various reasons, it takes more to hold a fierce game for Winter Olympics than it does for Summer Olympics. You know, the low temperature may cause many problems.

[User] Yeah. What's the difference between the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics?

[Assistant] When the Olympic Games started in modern times, only summer events were included. When it grew popular, there came the Winter Olympic Games, which includes a variety of winter sports.

[User] I see. Then, what's your favorite winter sport?

[Assistant] Figure skating. In my eye, nothing beats it.

[User] Then you must know Shen Due and Hao Hongbo.

[Assistant] Oh, I didn't expect you to know them. But yes, I love them not only because of many medals they've won, but also because of their spirits.

[Assistant] Sure. What about you? What do you like about the Olympics?

[User] So what do you feel like doing this evening? How about going to the cinema?

[Assistant] Ah, that's a good idea. But I heard the film club of our school would show a film for free. Maybe we don't need to go to the cinema.

[User] That's good! I've also heard there will be a party held by the Students' Union tomorrow evening. Would you like to go with me tomorrow night?

[Assistant] I'd like to, but I'm afraid I can't.

[User] Why? Do you have to prepare for your examination? Oh, come on, girl, relaxation is also very important.

[Assistant] That's not the reason. I have to go to the English Corner tomorrow evening. You know, I've been going there every week.

[User] Oh, God, I've forgotten it.

[Assistant] You said you wanted to improve your English, so how about coming with me tomorrow? I can also introduce some friends to you.

[User] Oh, no, I don't want to know any more geeks like you.

[Assistant] They are not geeks. They are also interested in singing, dancing, and so on. They are excellent, and they can always help me a lot.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Really? Is there a foreign teacher for every class?

[Assistant] It depends. If they are not busy, they will come to join us, and talk with us.

[User] So you just talk all the time?

[Assistant] Of course not. The foreign teachers also teach us English songs, and play games with us.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That sounds interesting. I'll go with you tomorrow evening.

[Assistant] Yes, do you like it?

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* I love it! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar. Is it in good condition?

[Assistant] Yt looks good on the outside, but the inside is a different story. It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again.

[User] What's wrong with it?

[Assistant] Well, first of all, it needs a new engine, which is extremely expensive.

[User] When's the last time you had it serviced?

[Assistant] It must have been a few years ago now.

[User] I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis.

[Assistant] They do. Once my son was born, there was no reason to drive this car anymore. It's only a two-seater, you know!

[User] What else is wrong with it?

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* The heating controls don't work anymore, so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the car — even in the summer!

[User] Anything else?

[Assistant] The brakes don't really work that well anymore either.

[User] Why don't you get it all fixed?

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* It costs more than you think to run a car---especially when there are so many things wrong with it!

[User] I was reading about how some people get tricked or drugged in their hotel rooms and have their organs removed! Then they are sold on the black market.

[Assistant] Don't tell me you actually believe all that? Don't be so gullible, they are just urban legends. They are just stories people make up to scare you.

[User] Well, I was also reading about how some popular songs have subliminal or even satanic messages if you play them backwards! Can you believe that?

[Assistant] You really think an artist or song writer is going to go through the trouble of putting subliminal or satanic messages in a song? Don't be so naive!

[User] OK. Steven, you're looking at a picture. Please describe what you see!

[Assistant] Uh, I can see a red double decker bus. It's the kind of bus you'll see very often in London. In fact I know this bus is from London because I can see the names, Chelsea, Sloan Square, Victoria, Herring Cross. These are all areas in London. Um, so obviously the bus is in London.

[User] OK. Have you ever been on a double decker bus?

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. many times. Many times. When I was younger, you used to get double-decker all over England but now you only tend to see them in the big cities.

[User] Oh, really. Mm! How much is the fare?

[Assistant] Well, it depends on the journey. It's.. I guess it's not too expensive, but the minimum price you would pay is, for a short journey, is about a pound.

[User] Mm, yeah, who can you see on the bus? Can you pick out anyone on the bus who looks interesting?

[Assistant] Hmm, yeah, well this girl here at the back, that's leaning on the door, um, she looks really bored, actually. Maybe she is going to work or something and she doesn't want to go!

[User] Is that how you feel on the bus?

[Assistant] Uh, well, no, not really, because I haven't worked in England for a long time, so I haven't taken a bus for a long time.

[Assistant] nothing but the best from my dad. I like everything about it except for the brakes. They are a bit sticky.

[User] I can fix those for you. Is there anything else wrong with it?

[Assistant] well, my saddle is too low for me. Do you know how to change the height?

[Assistant] Yes, I’d like to check three pieces.

[User] I’m sorry, sir. Airline policy allows only two pieces of checked luggage, at twenty kilograms each, plus one piece of carry-on luggage. I will have to charge you extra for the additional suitcase.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* What? Why! I am taking an intercontinental flight! I’m flying sixteen thousand CMS! How am I supposed to only take two, twenty kilo bags? That’s absurd!

[User] I am sorry, sir, there’s nothing I can do. You cannot board the flight with that large bag either.Carry-on bags must fit in the over-head compartment or under your seat. That bag is clearly too big.

[Assistant] Now I see. You charge next to nothing for an international ticket, but when it comes to charging for any other small thing, you charge an arm and a leg! So tell me, miss, how much will I have to pay for all of this.

[User] Let’s see... six hundred and twenty-five US dollars.

[Assistant] I’m very nervous.

[User] Why are you nervous?

[Assistant] I’m not going to know anybody there.

[User] That’s not a problem.

[User] Did you see Victor on Wednesday, Wendy?

[Assistant] Yes. We went for a walk in the woods near the highway.

[User] Wasn’t it cold on Wednesday?

[Assistant] Yes. It was very cold and windy. We wore heavy wool sweaters and walked quickly to keep warm.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* It’s so nice and quiet in the woods.

[Assistant] Yes. Farther away from the highway it was very quiet and there were birds and squirrels everywhere. We counted over twenty squirrels.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* It sounds wonderful. Did you take lunch with you?

[Assistant] Yes, we bought veal sandwiches. We stopped around twelve, and we ate and watched the squirrels, but it was too windy to sit long. It was a very nice walk, anyway.

[User] I've been told that you are a very successful businessman abroad. I wonder how you managed to achieve such success?

[Assistant] Oh, through a lot of hard work, of course.

[User] I suppose that in a foreign country it was difficult at first, wasn't it?

[Assistant] Surely it was, especially when you only knew few people and little English.

[User] You mean you didn’ t know much English then?

[Assistant] Right. I only knew a few English sentences.

[User] *Hands raised to face* That's incredible. Could you tell me what you did to make a start?

[Assistant] First, I worked as a servant.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Really? I wish you could tell me more about your experience.

[User] Whats the news on our website? How effective do you think it is from a marketing standpoint?

[Assistant] We've been able to survey and track some of the information of our website users through some cookie technology, and it's surprising to see the results.

[User] What kinds of hits are we getting on our company's website?

[Assistant] From the numbers, it seems nearly half of the visitors who stumble onto our page pick up the link not from network browsers or search engines, but from our circular insert. That means our consumers are purposefully and actively seeking information about our products and services through the web format. Based on these findings, I am completely convinced the internet is the marketing power of the future!

[User] You really think that many people turn to the internet to find product information.What about the old standbys of word mouth and print media?

[Assistant] Well, these mediums are still important...they aren't a thing of the past...But I think they might be less important now than in the past. The technology age has arrived!

[User] I want to buy a drink.

[Assistant] OK. This machine needs you to use that change machine first to get correct change.

[User] I've got the correct change already.

[Assistant] First you put your money in the dollar slot or the coin slot. The dollars have to be smooth.

[User] OK, what next?

[Assistant] Just know that sometimes the money doesn't go in perfectly the first time and you have to try again.

[User] OK, next?

[Assistant] Choose what you want and push the button. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.

[User] I agree with you.

[Assistant] Come on, sit down, and let me have a look.

[User] The pain is killing me.

[Assistant] I told you to wear running shoes. But you don't listen.

[User] I thought leather shoes will do just as well.

[Assistant] Hold on, don't move, I will take care of that.

[User] What are you going to do?

[Assistant] I will get some ice, and put it on your ankle.How does that feel?

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* God! It's freezing!

[System] We're having a chat about life as it is every day. Respond as though you're the person the user is talking to, making up details as necessary to stay in character while keeping it casual.

[User] So Chris, I've heard that you're from a big family. How many people?

[Assistant] Nine total. Seven children and my parents.

[User] Seven children? That's a lot. Why did your parents have so many?

[Assistant] Well, my mother came from a big family, and wanted to have one of her own. My father was an only child, and didn't really care about having a large family, but my mother talked him into it.

[User] Jeez, seven children. That must have a lot of problems. We have four children in my family and my grandparents can never get our names right.

[Assistant] It can be hard, and there are certain sacrifices you have to make.

[User] Like what? I assume that there's no privacy.

[Assistant] That's one. Another is the lack of personal property. Everything you have, from toys to clothes, is used by your brothers and sisters. Especially clothes. Three quarters of my wardrobe are hand-me-downs.

[User] And the age gap is also annoying. There's a ten-year difference between my younger brother and me. We have nothing in common.

[Assistant] Same problem here. There's an 18-year gap between the oldest and youngest child in my family. The last child was born just as the oldest was going to college.

[User] Well, at least going to college won't be too bad. Since both of your parents are college professors, they must give you reduced tuition at the college.

[Assistant] They do, but it doesn't help too much. Having seven children means that the money situation in my home is always pretty tight.

[Assistant] It was long, too.

[User] I think it was about 45 minutes long.

[Assistant] But it went by fast. It was interesting.

[User] I liked it.

[Assistant] I'll give you a speech like that, too.

[User] Do you think anyone will come to my funeral?

[Assistant] Of course.

[User] I think only the family will be there.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* How sweet.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Yes. If she doesn't believe it, Christmas won't be so exciting to her.

[User] When are you going to tell her that Santa Claus doesn't exist?

[Assistant] I'm not going to tell her. She will find out and understand when she grows older.


[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] I am kind of nervous.

[Assistant] Nervous? Why?

[User] I don't know. I never went to a church before. I was not raised as a Christian, so I don't know what to do.

[Assistant] Don't worry. You don't have to do anything.All you have to do is listen. You will enjoy it.

[User] Maybe. I know I agreed to go with you, but now I don't feel right about it.

[Assistant] Listen, Ryan.Catholics welcome people who aren't Catholics to visit the church.You don't have to pretend to be Catholic. It's okay if you just come to listen.

[User] Really?

[Assistant] Yes. We are kind and welcoming people.It is not a secret society or something like that.

[User] Alright. But will we sing?

[Assistant] Yes, but you don't even have to sing. If you want to sing along, you can.

[User] I don't know the words.

[Assistant] There is a songbook. All the words are in the songbook.Many people have to read the words.

[User] And will I go up to the front to have the bread and wine?

[Assistant] No. That is something only true Catholics do.So if you come to the church as a visitor, you only listen to the service.But you shouldn't go up to the altar for the bread and wine.Only after someone joins the church, then they go up for the Eucharist.

[User] Eu-char-ist? What is that?

[Assistant] That is the special word for the ritual of the bread and wine.The Catholics call it the Eucharist.

[User] It doesn't sound like an English word.

[Assistant] It's not. It's an ancient Greek word. It means gratitude.

[User] Alright. Well, I feel more comfortable now.Now I understand I am welcome as a visitor.

[Assistant] Of course you are. I wouldn't ask you otherwise.

[User] Would you consider it your favorite class?

[Assistant] I don't know if I would call it my favorite, but it ranks up there.

[User] What class was your favorite then?

[Assistant] I took a business communication class last year and it was terrific.


[System] This conversation is centered around daily life. Respond as if you're the person the user is engaging with, adding details to stay in character but ensuring you sound natural.

[User] What are you reading?

[Assistant] It’s an article about language. It talks about the idea of having a single global language.

[User] It seems that English already is the main global language. Does the article suggest that there should be an artificial language like Esperanto as the world language.

[Assistant] Actually, it suggest English. The main argument is that English is already being studied as a second language in most countries-china, India, mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, and japan. So beginning again with a language like Esperanto would be wasteful. The second argument is that English is used in modern technology far more that any other language. Most emails are sent in English and the vast majority of website use English.

[User] Does the article say anything about other language? How will they survive in an English-speaking world?

[Assistant] The article points out that many languages have been lost and will be lost, but others will continue to be used for generation, even if English continues to be the dominant language.

[User] Right. All the people who speak Chinese. Hindi, French and Spanish aren’t suddenly going to stop using those languages.

[Assistant] Exactly. The article suggests that those languages will be used, but that they will only rarely be used in international communication between non-native speakers.

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Sign? What’s sign?

[Assistant] There, on the window.

[User] Oh, sorry. I didn’t notice it. Sorry.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That’s all right.

[Assistant] Yes. I commute five days a week by train.

[User] And would you mind telling us what you think of the rail service?

[Assistant] It’s really very good.

[User] Why do you say that?

[Assistant] Well, trains are frequent and come on time.

[User] Which train do you catch in the evening?

[Assistant] I usually take the five thirty home.

[User] And can you get a seat?

[Assistant] No, I usually have to stand.

[User] Would you agree that the service is fast?

[User] Your vintage clock?? I just paid sixty-five dollars for it.

[Assistant] Sixty-five? What the...? How did you bargain him down, Wei? You've never even been to a flea market before!

[User] It must be my special touch. I think bargaining is in my blood!

[Assistant] Never underestimate a woman when it comes to bargaining!

[User] Do you like this campus?

[Assistant] Well. I’m rather disappointed with it.

[User] How come?

[Assistant] It’s too old. And it isn’t as specious as I expected.

[User] Oh. It’s awful, but it can’t be helped.

[Assistant] I’ll just have to put up with it.

[Assistant] Do you mean lying to people for their good?

[User] Yes. Is it wrong to lie to them even if it is for their good?

[Assistant] It's hard to say. I mean, how can you judge what's good for them? Maybe it is best to tell them the truth no matter what it is.

[User] But sometimes it is so hard to tell the truth.

[Assistant] I know. If you're sure the truth will do harm, maybe you can choose not to tell it.


[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] May, is the university a terrible place?

[Assistant] Surely not. Life in the university is fun. Why did you ask?

[User] Because you study day in and day out for the entrance exam. So I figure you would study even harder after you’ Ve got in.

[Assistant] Studying in the university is not easy, but it's not as arduous as you think.

[User] How do you know that? You haven't got in yet.

[Assistant] Of course I know. I once attended Lisa's class, sitting quietly at the back of the classroom.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Oh, really? Were you not caught?

[Assistant] Of course not. You are allowed to attend any lecture, only if there are empty seats for you and you don't disturb the class. In universities, you study in a free and creative environment.

[User] What do you want to study in the university? Have you thought about it?

[Assistant] This question has really been bothering me. I like Chinese literature, you know. But economics is really hot now, and it has a very good career prospect.

[User] I will choose what I like. You don't know what a torture it is for me to study English, because I don't like English.

[Assistant] Though I like Chinese literature very much, I'm also interested in economics. It's a tough choice to make.

[User] You can decide later. You will have choices before you submit your university application form.

[Assistant] Right. I have lots of time to think carefully before I make my final decision.

[User] Who is your favorite NBA star?

[Assistant] Kobe Bryant, of course.

[User] Kobe? I know him, the key guy of the Lakers, a heck of a NBA player. He is on fire when he breaks through enemy defense.

[Assistant] He is competent both in driving the lane and shooting jumpers, but what really makes him formidable is his ability to switch up and dribble with his left hand.

[User] Maybe he is not good at rebounding?

[Assistant] Indeed, no man can be perfect. He is just so-so in crashing the boards. Usually he plays shooting guard. Rebounding might not be his strong suit.

[User] Kobe came to Beijing during this summer's Olympics. Did you go to the match between China and USA?

[Assistant] Who wouldn't! My friend Lee went so far as to get an autograph from him.

[User] Well then, what are your spoils?

[Assistant] Well, nothing more than a jumble of photographs.

[Assistant] I did that.

[User] What came up?

[Assistant] It should be on the shelf, but I didn’t see it.

[User] *Covering nose and mouth, repelled* I think it is the worst one I have ever seen.

[Assistant] Oh, I'm not sure I agree with you. It was not a good one, but it was not the worst one. Actually, it wasn't too bad.

[User] I can't think the same.

[Assistant] What's more, some scenes were good, much fit for the children.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Thanks for offering to give me a lift. I’m looking forward to this party, but I didn’t want to go alone.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Don’ t mention it. It’s my pleasure. Have you been to one of these large, sit-down dinner parties since you got to New Haven?

[User] No, this is my first.Last week I went to a cookout for new professors at Dean Barksdale’s home. I took a taxi because I didn’ t want to be late.But I was the first one

[Assistant] Cookouts often start slowly. A two o’ clock start means you arrive any time after two.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Thanks for telling me this.

[Assistant] I was late getting back from the mall, but I’m hurrying.

[User] Why are you in such a hurry? They said, Dinner at eight, and it’s only seven-fifteen. I don’t want to be the first one there again.

[User] I want to buy that candy.

[Assistant] OK. So this machine will make change if you need it. Do you have your dollars ready?

[User] Yeah, so far, so good.

[Assistant] Next, you feed your dollars into the machine in the slot. Make sure they are smooth.

[User] Yeah, I already knew that.

[Assistant] I'm sure you know that if the dollar gets stuck, you might have to re-feed it.

[User] OK, let's move on!

[User] What was your wedding ceremony like, Abigail?

[Assistant] My husband and I got married in a registry office with just two friends there as witnesses. But then we had three parties to celebrate.

[User] Three parties? That's quite a lot. That must have been expensive!

[Assistant] Well, since my husband and I are from two different countries, and we live in a third country, we decided to have one in each country. It wasn't actually that expensive.

[User] Were your parents upset that they weren't there to see you get married?

[Assistant] I would have liked them to be there, but they couldn’t afford to fly out to see us, and we couldn't afford to fly out to see them, so they understood.

[User] Did your husband's family get to meet your family?

[Assistant] My husband's parents flew out to meet my family when we got married in my hometown, so that was great. Some people spend ridiculous amounts of money on extravagant wedding receptions, but we agreed that the wedding party should be less about money and more about family.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* That makes sense. Did you go on a honeymoon?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* We waited until our one-year anniversary to go on our honeymoon to Africa.

[User] You really didn't have a very traditional wedding, did you?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Not at all, but we don’t have a very traditional marriage either, so it suited us perfectly!

[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!

[User] Perhaps you’ Ve been working too hard. You do have a high-pressure job.

[Assistant] Maybe. I haven’ t been able to keep my food down either. That’s unusual.

[User] Looking at the 'five sense organs' of a scooter, it can be said as delicate and agile. To pull the T-shaped pole and make it vertical with the flat board and then pull it vertically, adjust its height suitable to you and you may use it.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Of course not! We built a snowman, some snow dogs and one big snow fort. We went sliding on the nice hill. It was a real work out. At noon, we had the most special winter picnic outside. Fortunately, we got it all on a video tape. You must come with us next time. I bet you will love it.

[User] Do you believe in horoscope fortune-telling?

[Assistant] I used to be an atheist. But in recent months, I couldn't but form a more favorable opinion of horoscope.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* That sounds interesting. Have you been involved in any mystery?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Not exactly, except that I find horoscope predictions increasingly accurate. I came upon a website which sends me an up-dated message by e-mail each day forecasting my experience in detail. It is amazing to find these forecasts largely in line with my daily life.

[User] What did it say about you then?

[Assistant] For example, the message for the day before yesterday notified me that I, as a Leo guy, was to have some "unusual experience in food and drink. And as it turned out, the reality matched this prediction well. Lasi night, I was treated to a dinner party by Mr. Lee.

[User] But it must have been only a coincidence. That's the only way superstition wins over science.

[Assistant] Oh, no. You can never tell whether such-and-such is science or sheer fraud.If horoscope is really something deceptive, how come quite a size of proportion of young people think highly of it.

[User] Got any plans after the class?

[Assistant] Not really. What about you?

[User] We will have our midterm exams next month. I plan to look for some important books and study at the library. Do you want to join me?

[Assistant] Sure. I need to return some books. They are due today. Besides, I can also read some weekly publications, magazines and newspapers.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Great. We can go to the swimming pool in the gymnasium after that.

[Assistant] That sounds like a good idea. We can chill out a little in such a hot summer. Are you good at swimming?

[User] Well, that's a good question. I haven't swum for almost two years. I think I need more practice.

[Assistant] Oh, it's almost 9. I need to hurry. I am running late now. See you after class in front of the library then. Bye!

[User] Linda, would you care for some candies or cookies?

[Assistant] No, don't try to tempt me. I'm becoming chubby, and I have to slender down.

[User] You are not really chubby. You are actually thin enough.

[Assistant] I don't think so. I know I've put on weight this winter.

[User] So you are watching your weight, aren't you?

[Assistant] Yes, to tell you the truth. I am on the diet.

[User] ... I knew it. I always knew you were a lesbian!

[Assistant] She's my roommate, not my date. The D-man, as in dork.

[User] Haha. Still got that great sense of humor, I see. Here's my card. I sell used cars. A car from us is a car you can trust!

[Assistant] Alrighty then. Didn't you use to date Sheryl?

[User] Sweet little lassie. Yep, broke her heart when the D-man told her he couldn't be a one-woman guy.

[Assistant] Oh? I heard she dumped you. Anyway, she's right over there. Oh, Sheryl!

[User] Which team do you think will emerge with the last laugh in this World Cup?

[Assistant] I wish it could be Germany. But it seems they are not in a very good conditions.

[User] No, they aren't. They had a hard time in the group stage and only sealed a sit in the eighth-finals with Wallack's header in the final three minutes. Just think, group A consists of Austria, China, and Saudi Arabia, all of which are minnows.

[Assistant] It seems they've been out of luck since the beginning of the event. Their shots hit the woodwork as many as six times. Oh. my goodness! I'm afraid the team is under a spell.

[User] Well, at least the Germans have demonstrated a very good ability to control the midfield. They recorded a total of 62 tackles in the match against Austria. And they to be endowed with perfect positional sense. I think that will give rise to scoring chances sooner or later.

[Assistant] I agree. Eeven though German attackers are not good at dribbling past opposing defenders, they breach the defensive line through quick movements to the right attacking positions and through accurate, well-timed passes.

[User] That's why I still have very high hopes for the team. Now that the tournament has proceeded into the knock-out stage, the Germans will probably make it through to the finals.

[Assistant] Yes. They have a good reputation for their tenacity and discipline, especially in vital, decisive encounters.

[Assistant] Well, it's hard to say. I cough a lot in the evening.

[User] You'd better give up smoking. It's bad for your health.

[Assistant] You're right, but you know, it's hard to give up an old habit.

[User] But you should make up your mind first.

[Assistant] You know, I often have to work till late at night. I need something to keep me awake.

[User] Why don't you go to bed and get up early? You'll have the same time for work.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Thank you for your advice! I'll try it.
