[Assistant] Why?

[User] I want to know what's on that channel.

[Assistant] Oh, good.

[User] There is a football match.

[Assistant] I prefer TV play to football.

[User] OK. Could you turn it down?

[Assistant] What are you going to do?

[User] I'm going to listen to the radio.

[User] How much are you selling it for?

[Assistant] This TV is $2500.

[User] *Hands raised to face* You can't be serious.

[Assistant] That's how much this t. v costs.

[User] That's too expensive for me.

[Assistant] This television is of very high quality.

[User] Come on! Stop being so vain. You look great! You are beautiful!

[Assistant] Yes, I am, but I think it’s time for some plastic surgery I’m tired of these wrinkles and sagging skin. See?

[User] I don’ t see any wrinkles or sagging skin! You are 25, stop being ridiculous. Besides, I think that people who get Boto, have facelifts, or tummy tucks look weird. It doesn’ t look natural.

[Assistant] Whatever, I think I’m gonna get liposuction and a nose job and some breast implants as well.

[User] I think you need to get brain surgery. I honestly don’t think you need cosmetic surgery. You look amazing.

[Assistant] I thought you were my friend and would support me on this! I just want to feel better about myself and feel more attractive.

[User] You don’ t need plastic surgery to do that. You are fine the way you are and you have guys drooling all over you! Plus, plastic surgery hurts!

[Assistant] Well, let's try a size ten. (He gets another pair and the customer tries a shoe on) Looks like a perfect fit.

[User] Not really. It pinches my toes.

[Assistant] I'm sure they'll be fine once you break them in.

[User] I don't know... well, I guess I'll take them, since you don't seem to have anything better.

[User] So how's everything going for Christmas?

[Assistant] I've got all the presents I need, and my family is working together to get all the food ready. That's easy, but I have another problem to deal with.

[User] What's that? Don't tell me you've still got Christmas cards to write, it usually takes my wife a month to write all of ours.

[Assistant] No, I did that a long time ago. It's about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus.

[User] *Hands raised to face* He still doesn't know that Santa isn't real? How old is he, eight?

[Assistant] Yes. He's never said anything so I never told him. But now that he's getting older...

[User] You think it's better that he should be told?

[Assistant] Yes, he's too old to believe in that type of things. And I'd rather tell him before the kids at school do.

[User] That happened to my oldest girl. She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn't real.

[Assistant] I can understand. I was lucky with my oldest, she figured it out by herself and didn't tell my son.

[User] Oh, dear. Did you lose a lot of money?

[Assistant] *Arms wrapped, seeking comfort* No. Only a few pounds. But my passport was in the bag. That’ what I’m really worry about.

[User] Well, each room is 40 dollars a week.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That sounds all right to us.

[User] When do you want to move in?

[User] Mon and I got in another fight, Boris.

[Assistant] oh, Iris! what was it about this time?

[User] it was over food. I simply wanted some fried chicken but she said no.

[Assistant] I believe she was right. You must know that fried foods contain a lot of fat.

[User] oh, she keeps saying that. She never allows me to have them.

[Assistant] I think you'd better take her advice since health is the greatest wealth.

[User] But, Boris, i am not a baby any more.

[Assistant] well, that's true.

[User] how about your mother?

[Assistant] she also believes in healthy diet. And she requires us to have regular meals.

[User] poor you. It seems we are in the same boat.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Oh, i am grateful for my mother on this point. her idea of healthy eating helps me a lot keeping fit.

[User] *Hands raised to face* really? so you don't have fried food at all.

[Assistant] not really. I may have some occasionally for a chance. But I don't indulge myself too much.

[User] how do you manage it?

[Assistant] it's pretty simple, Iris. Just keep it in mind that you're what you eat.


[System] This is an exchange about daily life. Take on the role of the person the user is addressing. Feel free to create details to stay in character, but keep it natural.

[User] I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking.

[Assistant] *Arms wrapped, seeking comfort* We should plan to move out of here before July. I'm tired of living in apartments.

[User] I know, dear. I am too. But we've just been too busy to look for a house.

[Assistant] We need to find a good realtor.

[User] Not necessary. If we use a realtor to find a house, it will be more expensive.

[Assistant] What do you mean?

[User] Realtors always get a commission. If the realtor helps us find something, we have to pay him.

[Assistant] But doesn't a realtor help with the contract? I thought they take care of all the legal troubles.

[User] Yes, that's often true. But you have to pay them.

[Assistant] I still think we should have a realtor. We're new in this country. We don't know all the laws of buying a house. And also, the realtor will inspect the house. He can tell us if the house has any problems.

[User] Of course we need a house inspector. But we can hire an inspector on our own. As for the legal problems, I have friends. They can help us.

[Assistant] So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor?

[User] It takes a little more time. We have to check the ads in the paper. Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads. Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them.

[Assistant] And doesn't the person selling the house have a realtor?

[User] Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It's best to find someone who is selling by themselves.

[Assistant] Why?

[User] That is because if the seller has a realtor, their price will be higher. He will have to pay a commission to the realtor.

[Assistant] Hmm. It all sounds very complicated.

[User] It is. But buying a house is very important. So it takes time. That's why we haven't done it yet. It's very troublesome.

[Assistant] I want to look in the papers today. Maybe we can see something we like.


[System] This is an everyday life conversation. Respond as if you're the person the user is engaging with, and you can create details as needed to stay in character. Keep it natural above all.

[User] So, got any more ideas for the website?

[Assistant] Well, since we're collecting gifts instead of red envelopes, I made a "for guests only" gift chat room.

[User] But we registered at Macy's. People can just buy gifts there.

[Assistant] The Taiwanese won't have time to buy gifts in America. The chat room is more convenient.

[User] You're right. They can discuss what to get and avoid buying the same things.

[Assistant] Or discuss what gifts they could buy together.

[User] Any other ideas?

[Assistant] We can also put a guest book on the website for people to sign and write comments.

[User] And we were going to make a collage for each of us using our baby pictures...

[Assistant] Yeah, that will be the best part. Jack hasn't seen yours yet, right?

[Assistant] Do you know what kind you want?

[User] I honestly don't know.

[Assistant] Did you want to know my favorite kind of pie?

[User] What's your favorite kind?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* My absolutely favorite kind of pie is apple.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* That sounds really good to me right now.

[User] sure, have a seat.

[Assistant] thanks.

[User] let me just grab your file. How long have you worked for us now?

[Assistant] I've worked here as a sales representative for about a year now.

[User] one year already? It's amazing how time flies like that. Are you enjoying your job?

[Assistant] yes, but I'd like to have a chance at job advancement.

[User] I see. What job did you have in mind.

[Assistant] well, I've noticed that is a position available as a sales manager.

[User] do you understand what duties that job would entail?

[Assistant] yes. I would be directly responsible for all of the sales representatives in my department. I assume there'd be more meetings, paperwork, and other responsibilities, too.

[User] that's right. Do you have any experience in management?

[Assistant] yes. In fact if you look at my resume, you can see that I was a manager before I started this job.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* well, I think you'd be the perfect candidate for the position. According to company policy, you'll still have to go through the formal application procedures though, so fill this application form in in order to apply.

[User] Thanks for coming in today, did you have any trouble finding us? Please take a seat.

[Assistant] Thank you.

[User] So, let’s get started. tell me a bit about your educational background.

[Assistant] Sure! Well, I graduated with honors from Chesterton University with a major in Business Administration, with a specialization in Information Management, and I minored in psychology. I chose this course of study for two reasons. I wanted to gain some practical, marketable skills, which the information management track provided, and I also feel that interpersonal skills are essential for professional success, hence the minor in psychology.

[User] Interesting. And, your postgraduate studies?

[Assistant] Well, I am really passionate about consumer behavior, so I pursued a master’s in that area. I also strive to keep my professional skills current, so I continuously attend seminars and conferences related management and customer service.

[User] Very good. Now, tell me a little bit about your work experience. I see here that you previously worked at Oracle.

[Assistant] Yeah, I worked as their customer support manager, which brought me a breadth of experience in both client care, and process management. I supervised and coordinated the customer support team as well as implemented new strategies to achieve better customer satisfaction.

[User] Interesting...

[Assistant] Yes, in this position I was able to make some pretty significant contributions to the overall success of the company. With the different initiatives that we implemented, we lowered our churn rate to about five percent, which had a direct impact on revenue.


[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] We still have an important attraction.

[Assistant] What is that?

[User] Melbourne Zoo.

[Assistant] What is special about Melbourne Zoo?

[User] The place is a must-see. This zoo was built in 1862, and it's the oldest zoo in the world, and still among the best. There are more than 3,000 species of animals here, including the popular kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, and wombats.

[Assistant] Are the animals caged?

[User] Most animals are not locked up in tiny cages. Rather, they are set in almost natural surroundings or well-tended gardens.

[Assistant] That's really special.


[System] This is a casual conversation about everyday life. Take on the persona of the person the user is addressing, and feel free to invent details to stay in character but make sure it feels natural.

[User] Are you interested in mountaineering?

[Assistant] Yes. in some sense. I should say I like mountain climbing, you know, because I'm not so professional. How about you?

[User] I'm the same with you, an amateur mountain climber. 1 went climbing in the Rocky Mountains with my friends last summer vacation. We spent two days in the mountains.

[Assistant] How did you spend the night there?

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* We pitched a tent in the night, waiting for the sunrise. Wow! It was too beautiful.

[Assistant] I had a similar experience, but that was on the top of Tasha Mountain in my country.

[User] Tasha Mountain? It's very famous in China, isn't it?

[Assistant] Yes.It IS one of the Five Mountains.

[User] I want to climb Tasha Mountain this summer vacation. Would you be my guide?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* I'd love to.

[User] Bob! Your eyes look bloodshot. Did you not sleep well?

[Assistant] I had a drop too much last night. I attended a banquet given by a Chinese colleague of mine. And it was startling for me to find that people are forced to drink against their will on a Chinese table.

[User] You have it right. Alcohol is a medium for communicating emotion in China. Drinking with business partners or would-be friends is a way of solidifying friendship, especially in Northern China.

[Assistant] I just felt embarrassed if I refused to drink when people toasted to me. But if I keep gulping down one cup after another, I'm afraid I would feel unfit or sick.

[User] You lose face by refusing to drink, and the host might think you refuse to give him face. The right thing to do seems to be drinking yourself into incoherence until you throw up. This will endear you to your friends.

[Assistant] A few guys even threw a drunken fit last night, crying hoarsely and bawling whole heaps of nonsense that I never understood.

[User] Then he must be opening his heart to the friends. In a word, as long as you demonstrate a readiness to drink more in spite of already suffering extreme discomfort, no one will jeer at you.

[Assistant] I got you. Next time. I'll preface a toast with a statement like 'I can't drink any more' and then drink anyway.

[User] Hello, Sir. What can we do for you today?

[Assistant] Hello. I've been asked to come and see about something called L/C? What is it exactly?

[User] L/C stands for 'letter of credit'. This is necessary for trade between two countries. A Letter of Credit is quite literally that — a letter addressed by the buyer's bank to the seller's bank stating that they could vouch for their good customer, the buyer, and that they would pay the seller in case of the buyer's default. Nowadays, it's sometimes used for domestic trade too.

[User] Cartons are comparatively light, and there fore easy to handle. They'll not be stowed away with the heavy cargo. Besides, we'll reinforce the cartons with metal straps.

[Assistant] All right. Carton or no carton, the packaging must be waterproof as well as strong enough to stand shock and rough handling.

[User] You needn't worry about that. Cartons are extensively used in our shipments to foreign countries and there have never been complaints from our clients. Now, as regards payment, we have agreed to use dollars, am I right?

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* 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 computer.

[Assistant] Thirty percent?

[User] Yes.

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

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Yes. It's an excellent system.

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

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

[User] *Posture slouched, slow movements* I'm sorry, but our university computer center only sells Macintosh equipment.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* What? Are you serious?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* 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. Ma

[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] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Well, thanks for your advice. I will probably come back later.

[Assistant] Is there anything else?

[User] There's quite a long list, actually! You can use if for business trip expenses, medical expenses, any internal payments.

[Assistant] And I suppose I can do that anywhere? I do have to travel a lot for my job and it's such a hassle using cash and collecting all the separate receipts.

[User] If you put it on your card, you can get an overall statement that lists all of the transactions.

[Assistant] In just one document? That will definitely be a time saver.

[User] How much are you looking to spend?

[Assistant] I can only afford about 300 pounds a month.

[User] Looks like you’re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Really? That’s a lot of money to pay for one room.

[User] Well, if you want to live in London, you have to pay the price!

[Assistant] Do you know of anyone who needs a roommate?

[Assistant] No, I thought that would be included in the rent.

[Assistant] I don't think I can afford that.

[User] Don’ t worry. Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the cleaning or take care of the children.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* That’s a good idea. I’ll look into finding something like that.
