[User] where are you going, Jane?

[Assistant] I'm going to the hospital to see Susan.

[User] I saw her yesterday. She was a little better.

[Assistant] Must I catch a number 7 bus to get there?

[User] No, you needn't. A number 13 bus will also take you to the hospital.

[Assistant] Number 13 buses run much more frequently, don't they?

[User] Yes. I caught a number 7 bus yesterday, and they said I had taken a wrong bus.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Thank you, Henry. I'll get a number 13.

[Assistant] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know... Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break...

[User] I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are...

[Assistant] It's okay... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch...

[User] How about this... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.

[Assistant] You don't have to do that...

[User] I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.

[Assistant] Actually I do like Chinese... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about twelve thirty. Does that sound good?

[User] Please point out the painful place with your finger. Is there any relation between the pain and the weather?

[Assistant] Yes, the pain comes more intense when the weather is bad. And the pain comes intense when I walk too much.

[User] Have you ever had any trauma?

[Assistant] Yes, I have.

[User] Does the pian become more intense at night?

[Assistant] Yes, ti does. Just like a needle prick. Besides, the place that hurts often feels cold, too.

[User] Do you have the sensation of ants crawling over the painful part?

[Assistant] Yes, I do.

[User] I'd like to treat you with acupuncture if you agree.

[Assistant] By the way, does acupuncture hurt?

[User] Acupuncture may cause just a little pain, but it also causes a certain feeling of numbness and distension. We'll try it every day for seven days. Will that be all right?

[Assistant] Yes. Let's start today.

[User] How often dose this bus go there?

[Assistant] Every fifteen minutes.

[User] I really can't wait that long. Are there any other buses that can take me there?

[Assistant] The No. 2 bus also goes to the railway station. You may take it.

[Assistant] I agree. And it's very convenient.

[User] Which lane were you in?

[Assistant] I don't remember.

[User] What was your speed then?

[Assistant] 40 miles per hour.

[User] Which direction were you coming from? And which direction were you going?

[Assistant] Just straight.

[Assistant] I am afraid I can't attend the press conference due to an urgent conference with the Board of Directors at half past four.

[User] Can I help you?

[Assistant] Yes, I need to buy a computer for this semester. I was told it is cheaper to buy computers here.

[User] Well, you heard right. You can get an excellent deal on a new computer here. We have great discounts for students.

[Assistant] I don't know much about computers. But I know I want a desktop computer with a lot of memory. And I need a printer.

[User] Well, first let's consider your computer. Here, for example, is a system I highly recommend-the Power Macintosh G3. it comes with 64 megabytes of total memory.

[Assistant] Is that a lot? Sixty-four?

[User] Yes, it is. It should be enough for any student needs you might have. What department are you in?

[Assistant] History.

[User] Well, so you will mostly be using word processing, for writing papers. I recommend the Corel Word Perfect program for word processing. We can talk about software later. Let's talk about your hardware first. We have a special deal on right now. I should tell you about it, as it only goes until next Tuesday. If you buy one of these fifteen-inch color monitors with a Power Macintosh G3, you can actually get 30 percent off the usual sale price.

[Assistant] Thirty percent?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] Wow. That's really good. And you think this is really a good system for a graduate student?

[User] Yes. It's an excellent system.

[Assistant] Hmm. Hey, wait. This has an Apple on it. Is this an Apple computer?

[User] Yes, it's a Macintosh. It's Apple. Mcintosh and Apple are the same thing.

[Assistant] I don't want Macintosh. I want PC.

[User] *Lips quiver, tears held back* I'm sorry, but our university computer center only sells Macintosh equipment.

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* What? Are you serious?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* But nobody uses Macintosh!

[User] That's not true. Most of the students and professors in the university here use Macintosh. They find it is better for writing and word-processing, and that is what students mostly do. May I ask where you're from?

[Assistant] Yes, I'm from Taiwan.

[User] Well, I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not very popular. But here in America, especially in universities and publishing companies, Apple is very commonly used.

[Assistant] But I need a computer that can handle writing in Chinese.

[User] There are several Chinese writing programs you can use with Macintosh. Chinese is no problem for Apple.

[Assistant] *Shoulders slump, eyes downcast* Hmm. I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I make a decision. I'm sorry.

[User] No, don't be sorry. It's reasonable to ask your friends. But believe me, most of the students here in the university-Asian students included-most of them use Apple.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Well, thanks for your advice. I will probably come back later.

[Assistant] Yes, I did. By the way, in case there is a flaw in this CD player, can I return it?

[User] Yes. But you must return it within 30 days.

[Assistant] Is there a charge for that. I know other stores have a restocking fee.

[User] There will be no charge at all. However you must show us the receipt. Could you sign it here, please?

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

[User] All right. Keep you receipt. If something comes up, you can show it to us and we will give you a refund.

[System] This conversation revolves around daily life. Pretend you're the person the user is speaking to. You can invent details to stay in character, but make sure to remain natural.

[User] What kind of jobs have you had?

[Assistant] I worked as a personnel manager in a state-owned company, and then I transferred to joint venture as a sales manager. So I am familiar with the food market in China.

[User] How did your previous employers treat you?

[Assistant] They treated me very well. We cooperated harmoniously and respected each other.

[User] What have you learned from the jobs your have had?

[Assistant] I have learned some skills about how to deal with clients and how to behave myself as a personnel manager.

[User] When you worked in your previous company, which did you prefer, working with other people or by yourself?

[Assistant] I preferred working with other colleagues when I worked in my previous company. I think teamwork and cooperation are very important. No matter how competent he or she is in a company, he can’t do without them.

[Assistant] Do you have any other positions available?

[User] Early this morning.

[Assistant] Oh, no.

[User] Yeah. And a semi jack-knifed trying to miss a stalled car in the fast lane. You can imagine what happened after that.

[Assistant] Sixty two cars. Oath. Do they know how many casualties yet?

[User] Ah! It hurts. Don't touch it.

[Assistant] What part hurts?

[User] The shoulder.

[Assistant] Well, maybe you broke it. But what I'm worried about is this cut.

[User] *Flinches at every sound* It's not a cut. It's a gash! It's bigger than a cut! Ah! I need a doctor.

[Assistant] C'mon. Just don't move.

[User] *Body freezes, shallow breaths* I'm bleeding too much.

[Assistant] We don't have a decent First Aid Kit, do we?

[User] *Eyes wide, face pale* Yes. My bike has one under the seat. Get it, quick!

[Assistant] There's some tape, iodine, and cloth bandages. I don't think the cloth bandages can stop the bleeding. What we need is a tourniquet.

[User] Wrap a few loops of the bandages around my upper arm, then twist.That will work as a tourniquet.After that, you can cut more of the bandages to cover the wound.

[Assistant] Good plan. Let me put some iodine on the cut.

[User] *Eyes wide, face pale* No, forget that! Do the tourniquet first. I'm losing too much blood.

[Assistant] Alright, alright. How did you cut this so bad?

[User] I ran it against that fence pole as I crashed. What do you think? Damn, it hurts!

[Assistant] We'll have to get you to a hospital. I can ride you on the back of my bike.

[User] I'm lucky I wasn't killed. I must have been going around forty-five miles an hour.There was too much gravel on that corner. I slid out.

[Assistant] Yes, I almost slid too.Alright. This tourniquet is tight. How does it feel?

[User] Make it tighter. I want the blood stopped.Then wrap some bandages around the cut. Then we can go. Ouch! I hope I can walk.

[Assistant] Alright, I'm twisting it around. You tell me when to stop.

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* Do you think I believe the story like that?

[User] But it's true.

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* How can believe it if the same excuse was used twice within a week?

[User] What's combined transportation?

[Assistant] If the goods are to be transshipped from one means of transportation to another during the course of the entire voyage, it's called 'combined transportation'.

[User] Why is it necessary?

[Assistant] It's simpler and cheaper to arrange multi-model combined transportation.


[System] This conversation is about daily life. Pretend you're the person the user is addressing. You can create details to stay in character, but make sure to sound natural.

[User] So, tell me, what makes you think we should give you a raise?

[Assistant] I've got several good reasons. I've been here several years, my work has proven to be good, and I've noticed that people in comparable jobs get paid more than I do.

[User] Salaries are confidential, how do you know how much money these "other people" make?

[Assistant] Well, I've noticed all the new cars around here, for one thing.

[User] Those are company cars provided to the sales staff for their business trips. Also, some employees receive sales commissions. So good salesmen will naturally earn more.

[Assistant] That's understandable. Well, rather than comparing my salary with someone else's, perhaps we could talk about my job performance. Surely you've noticed the extra hours I've put in recently?

[User] I see your point. However, it might be hard to get a raise approved. Profits were down last quarter, and the whole company is tightening its belt, so anything that affects the annual budget.

[Assistant] *Lip curls, sneering* That would be very good of you, Mr. White.

[Assistant] *Posture slouched, slow movements* So sorry, I must have confused the orders. I'll check it.

[User] And also this soup is cold.

[Assistant] What are you getting?

[User] Well, the first thing on my list is a new blender. I decided to also get a juicer and a new coffee maker.

[Assistant] Don’ t forget to also get a new mixer. I lent the old one to my brother and he broke it.

[User] Yeah I know. I also decided to throw away the old toaster and get a new one. I am also getting a rice cooker and steamer to make some nice steamed fish or veggies.

[User] OK, I will get right to that.

[Assistant] I really appreciate the help. How many years have you been with the company?

[User] I just started working here.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* I have a special assignment coming up. Would you be interested in helping me on it?

[User] Personal Loans, how may I help?

[Assistant] I'm going to be studying overseas next year and I'd like some info about suitable loans. To be honest, I'm not even sure if I can get a loan.

[User] Not a problem. We offer a Personal Loan for Studying Abroad for anyone who's studying overseas, regardless of the circumstances. Anyone is eligible to apply to apply.

[Assistant] Would I have to get my parents to guarantor the loan?

[User] Not exactly. Our policy states that the loange could be the person studying abroad, for example, you, or your direct relative or spouse.

[Assistant] I see. What about age limitations?

[User] There are no age limitations as such just that the loange should be below 55 years and of course, old enough to get a loan, meaning over 18 years of age.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Got it! I fit into that category very nicely. That's great! I'll have a chat with my parents and come back. Thanks very much.

[Assistant] Are you sure? How do you know?

[User] Well, usually people think I'm a terrible singer, but after we all have a few beers, they say I sound a lot better!

[User] That does depend on where you plan to travel. If you are planning to travel to Hong Kong or Macao we can exchange up to 1,000 USD for you. If your destination is elsewhere, we can exchange up to 2,000 USD.

[Assistant] OK, well, I'm going to Europe. I guess 1,000 USD will be sufficient for now.

[Assistant] Not at all. I was born in Madrid, but I came to the States when I was a teenager.

[Assistant] Yeah. But I think I'd prefer...

[User] How about this one? It's graceful in style.

[Assistant] Mm, yes, but I think I like that one better. It's made of gold, isn't it?

[User] Sure.

[Assistant] How much is it?

[User] 500 dollars, Madam.

[Assistant] I wonder if it keeps good time.

[User] Surely. As this is the latest model, and you can also set the alarm.

[Assistant] Are you sure?

[User] Yes, I'm sure I've done a lot of house painting in my life. And my mother was very picky. If I got even a tiny drop of paint on her furniture, she would get furious. So I learned to be very careful.

[Assistant] Alright. Then maybe we can do the floor first. These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful. And me too — — I can't wait to get all this old carpet out of here. But how can we get it out? Do we have to hire someone?

[User] Absolutely not. We can remove the carpet ourselves. Carpet is held down with carpet nails. You just need to pull it hard and it will come up.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Great. Then, after we remove the carpet, we need to redo all the wood floors. Right?

[User] Yes. But we should hire someone for that. That will probably be expensive. And it has to be done right.

[Assistant] And then, after the floors are done, we can start to move our furniture in.

[Assistant] Save it. If you want something to eat, then make it yourself.

[User] You really want me to cook tonight?

[Assistant] I had a long day today. I really am not in the mood to make anything.

[User] No problem.

[User] Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the Cross Bakery building?

[Assistant] The Cross Bakery building? Oh sure. You're actually walking in the opposite direction.

[User] *Hands raised to face* Oh, you're kidding! I thought I was heading east.

[Assistant] No, east is the other direction. To get to the Bakery, you need to turn around and go three blocks to Broadway. When you get to the intersection of Broadway and Elm, you hang a left. Go straight down that street for half a block and then you'll see the building on your left.

[User] Okay, let me see if I've got that. I need to go down Elm until I hit Broadway, then I make a left and the building is on my left hand side. Is that right?

[Assistant] Yeah, you've got it. Do you want me to show you the way?

[Assistant] Yes, I do, but today I went shopping and have only just come back. It is very nice to hear your voice, Bob. I didn’ t know you were in New York.

[User] I arrived this morning. I would have rung you before but I have been terribly busy all day attending a conference. It has only just ended. Are you doing anything tonight, Mary?

[Assistant] Yes, I am going to meet a client.

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* But that is terrible! I am only here for one night!

[Assistant] *Hands fidget, deep sigh* I am sorry, Bob. If you had told me you were coming up, I would have kept tonight free. But you didn’t tell me.

[User] I didn’ t know myself till this morning when my boss suddenly dashed into the office and told me to rush up here to attend the conference.

[Assistant] I thought Henry usually did the conferences.

[User] Yes, he does but when he was driving up here last night he had an accident and was taken to hospital. So I am doing it instead. Mary, Must you go out tonight? Couldn’t you get out of it?

[Assistant] I’m free tomorrow but I suppose that will be too late.

[User] No, I will stay another day.my boss will get over it. Would you like to meet me for lunch tomorrow?

[Assistant] I’d like to. But Bob, are you sure it will be all right? I would hate you to make your boss angry or even lose your job.

[User] It is all right. I will call the boss and tell him I am staying another day. I stayed an extra night in Boston last month and he didn’ t seem to put about it.

[Assistant] Why did you stay an extra night in Boston? What happened?

[User] I will tell you tomorrow. See you tomorrow, Mary.

[User] But I have seen many toys in your home.

[Assistant] There is none now because he likes to destroy toys.

[User] Doctors aren't sure yet.But the real problem is Suzy. She has a bad cold, and we don't want to take her with us. But we don't know who can stay with her.

[Assistant] You need a babysitter.

[User] Yes, I'd ask Jill, the girl I've had before, but I need someone overnight.Maybe even for two nights.

[Assistant] I could have Suzy stay at my place.

[User] I don't want to do that to you, Karen.

[Assistant] Why not?

[User] Your own kids would get Suzy's cold. I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here. But I don't know who to ask. I need someone more mature than Jill. It might even be for two or three days.

[Assistant] I know who we can ask. There is a girl I know, Sara Ralston.She is 17, and she will usually take this kind of job. I know her from my church, and I trust her completely.

[User] I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight.

[Assistant] I'll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible.

[Assistant] Can you afford that much?

[User] No, I guess not. But that's what I want, isn't it? An efficiency.

[Assistant] Yes, an efficiency is a small apartment.Usually one large room and a small bathroom.There is often a small kitchen too. So it's good for one person.

[User] How about this one? Downtown efficiency. Furnished... What does furnished mean?

[Assistant] That means the apartment has furniture in it.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* That's good.

[User] so, have you seen all three The Lord of the Rings movies?

[Assistant] yes, but I didn't really like the third one at all.

[User] that's the Return of the King, right?

[Assistant] yeah. Even though the customs were brilliant, I didn't think it was as good as the first two. What did you think?

[User] I thought the special effects were amazing, but I got a bit confused. The plot was too complicated for me.

[Assistant] did you read the books before you watched the movies?

[User] no. did you?

[Assistant] yes, I've read them many times. I think it's much easier to follow for people who were already familiar with all the characters.

[User] yes, trying to keep track of all the characters was quite confusing for me.

[Assistant] I also think that it was much better in the theatre than at home.

[User] most movies are. Another problem for me was the film was dubbed in German with English subtitles.

[Assistant] that happens a lot in non-English speaking countries.

[User] I heard that The Return of the King was nominated for 11 Oscars.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* actually, they not only had 11 nominations, but they won 11 Oscars, too!

[User] Hi! What are you watching?

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

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* 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.
