[User] My friend Emily recently lost 18 pounds.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Oh, really?

[User] The point is that she has been persuading me to lose weight too.

[Assistant] Well, it's a good thing for you.

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Good? Yes, it's good for her but not for me. You see, she tells me that I'll feel better about myself if I slim down. She keeps giving me newspaper clippings about the latest miracle diet and insists that I join a health club, as she has.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* So you don't think you are fat and need to lose weight?

[User] I just can't bear it that Emily made me feel like a baby who always pigs out on junk food.

[Assistant] junk food is not good for your health. Too much of it will make you fat.

[User] But junk food is so easy. It requires no silverware or plates, no rigid mealtimes, no pleases and thank yous.

[Assistant] Ok, but junk food has many disadvantages. As junk food contains high amount of oil and fat, you'll feel sleepy, but not be able to concentrate when you have a lot of it.

[User] Yes, but life without chips, ice cream and coca cola is boring.

[Assistant] Let me see. You could exercise more to keep fit.

[User] Daddy, don't mention it.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* The park is so beautiful. It is a good thing I have taken the camera.

[User] Mr. Smith, I'm wondering whether you have found a way of considering my offer?

[Assistant] I certainly have the will but I wonder if I've found the way.

[User] You see. I made what I consider to be a reasonable offerbased upon the rise in production costs and the continued fall in the exchange rate of Australian Dollar to U. S. Dollar.

[Assistant] Let me say something about the falling Australian Dollar. We're both hurt by the rising U. S. Dollar. We will have to pay more Renminbi for U. S. Dollar to buy wool from you.

[User] I understand.

[Assistant] Do you? Then you can see that we have one wish that is to conclude this transaction in a way that will satisfy both sides. What can you do to help?

[User] I think the best way I can do is to reduce our price by 2% and I should think we could conclude a deal at $98.

[Assistant] All right. I accept this reduced offer at $98 per metric ton FOB stowed. The other terms and conditions shall remain the same as those in the previous agreement. Now will you draft the agreement or shall I?

[User] Your legal department is very good at these things. We can trust them with the drafting of the agreement.

[Assistant] Ok. Then well bring it over to you tomorrow morning. You'll sign it first, so it will only need my signature. Is that agreeable to you?

[User] Very agreeable, Mr. Smith. It will only take me a minute to sign it and send it back to you.

[User] OK, please.

[Assistant] Would you like to have a look? Is it to your satisfaction?

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Well, oh my God, there is another problem, I'm afraid. There is still a stain on the shirt.

[Assistant] *Lips quiver, tears held back* It doesn't seem like that. Sorry, sir, we've tried everything, but we're not able to get it off the shirt. It was from the sugar I think.

[User] It's been several days now, I am not sure.

[Assistant] Yes, the sugar was burnt during the dry-cleaning process. And there you go.

[User] Oh, that's so bad. I know little about that. Is there a remedy for it?

[Assistant] *Lips quiver, tears held back* I am awfully sorry. Please tell us about the stains before the dry-cleaning next time.

[User] I wanted to change around 5000 dollars. And you know the exchange rate.

[Assistant] Yes, it's about 35 pesos for every Taiwan dollar, right?

[User] Not today.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* What do you mean?

[User] I went into the bank with my money, and I looked at the exchange board.At first I couldn't believe it. I thought I was reading the board wrong or something.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Why?

[User] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Because the board said 60 pesos for every Taiwan dollar.

[Assistant] Sixty? That's too much. How can that be?

[User] I thought it was wrong too. It didn't make sense.

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* Just two days ago it was 35. How can it be 60?

[User] So, I went up to the teller and started to exchange the money. And it's true.They really gave me sixty pesos for the dollar.

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* That's amazing! Really? How could it change so much in two days?

[User] Just a little steak, uh...snack? A bowl of clam chowder?

[Assistant] You want to be beautiful, don't you? Think about the butter and flour in...

[User] You're right. But if I get too thin, my mom will make me go to the hospital again.

[Assistant] Most models only eat once a day. If they can do it, so can we.

[User] You know. Soup, well, society makes us like this.

[Assistant] I think you're hallucinating! What are you talking about?

[User] Well, thin is always "in" with the media.

[User] have you finished going through the contract?

[Assistant] yes, but I have a few questions for you.

[User] Ok. Ask away.

[Assistant] first, I’d like to know if you offer employees sick leave.

[User] yes, employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year. However, in order to get paid, you’ll have to bring in a note from the doctor’s.

[Assistant] even if I’m only sick for one day?

[User] that’s correct.

[Assistant] that’s pretty strict, if you ask me.

[User] well, we’ Ve had to add that to the contract because we found that many of our employees were taking almost one sick day a month, even though they weren’t sick.

[Assistant] I see. I guess that makes sense.

[User] do you have any other questions?

[Assistant] yes. Maternity leave is mentioned in the contract, but there’s nothing in the contract alout paternity leave. Do you offer anything to fathers?

[User] we do actually. We can add that as an amendment to your contract.

[Assistant] how many days of paternity leave do you offer?

[User] men are allowed to take 10 days of paternity leave for their first child.

[Assistant] why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave?

[User] well, women are the ones giving birth. I think it’s fair to give them more time, don’t you?

[Assistant] I am dieting, so could the chef prepare the food with no extra sauce?

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* We are always happy to adjust our cooking to meet your needs.

[Assistant] Could tell me if there are any entrees that are vegetarian?

[User] The cashew broccoli noodles or the cheese and veggie enchiladas would be an excellent choice.

[Assistant] I am going to go with the grilled shrimp with garlic sauce. I would like the garlic sauce on the side.

[Assistant] One hundred and fifty dollars? What about this other one over here?

[User] That’s one hundred and forty.

[Assistant] Hmm...that’s a bit out of my price range. Can you give me a better deal?

[User] This is an exclusive design by marco! It’s a bargain at that price.

[Assistant] Well, I don’ t know. I think I’ ll shop around.

[User] Okay, okay, how about one hundred dollars?

[Assistant] That’s still more than I wanted to spend. What if I take both dresses?

[User] Okay, I can give you a special discount, just because you seem like a nice person. One hundred and ninety dollars for both.

[Assistant] I don’t know... It’s still a bit pricey... Thanks anyway.

[User] my final price! One hundred dollars for both! That’s two for the price of one. That’s my last offer!

[Assistant] Sounds good. Are there any group tours I can go with?

[User] Yes. There will be one at the end of this month. For many people, a Hawaiian vacation promises languid days filled with sunbathing and poolside cocktails. For others, it’s all about non-stop action in one of the world's most extreme natural playgrounds. Whether you are in search of quiet relaxation or unbridled stimulation, Hawaii gives you the best of both.

[Assistant] Great. So how long is the trip?

[User] 15 days. The transportation by air will take five days.

[Assistant] Fine. I happen to have 20 days for holiday, so exciting! How many places will be visited and what are they? Where will be staying and how about the food there?

[User] Sir, let's do it step by step. First, we will visit over 25 different places. Most of the places are in Hawaii’ s Big Island. We will stay in Arlott’ s Lodge.

[Assistant] Well, cool. What's the price for this trip?

[User] Well, right now there's a special rate for 40,000 RIB for this package, including everything such as airline ticket, tour guides, hotels and food. All you have to do is to sign up and we will take care of everything.

[Assistant] Well. 40,000 RIB that's really a lot of money. I will have to think about it.

[User] Sure. By the way, this special price is only good through the end of the week.

[Assistant] Is it Thursday? I mean if I let the chance slide...

[User] Yes, sir. It will be a great pity!

[User] Hi, excuse me, Sir? I’m looking for a dress shoe. My usual pair that I’ve had for years have finally been stretched out of shape. They don’t provide any support anymore.

[Assistant] Sure, what kind of shoe are you looking for? We’ Ve got strappy sandals, sleek high heels, edgy pumps, or if you’re looking for something a little more practical, we’ Ve got Mary Janes, ballerinas.

[User] Show me some classic high heels, please.

[Assistant] Ok, right this way. What color did you have in mind?

[User] Black. Classic.

[Assistant] Of course. We’ Ve got this style here that is very popular. Because it’s an open-toe shoe, you can wear it any time of the year. They look great on everyone.

[User] Umm. too shiny. And I wear pantyhose with my shoes so let’s look for a closed-toe shoe.

[Assistant] OK, these are a very nice pair of leather shoes with a two-inch heel so they are very comfortable.

[User] I don’ t like the pointed toes. Let me take a look at what else you have. Too high. That one looks like the back would cut into my heel. I have a high instep so I doubt that one will fit properly. I don’ t want bows. I find slingbacks very uncomfortable. Those might as well be stilettos. Too modern. Ah, finally, this is what I’ m looking for.

[Assistant] What size?

[User] Seven-and-a-half.

[Assistant] Here we are. How does it fit?

[User] Hmmm.Not good. They’re too tight.The length is right, but the shoe is too narrow and it’s pinching my toes. And there’d be no room for my insoles. You know what? I don’t think I have the patience for this today. They just don’t make shoes like they used to. I’ll come back another time.

[Assistant] Everything's been good with you?

[User] I haven't been better. How about yourself?

[Assistant] I started school recently.

[User] Where are you going to school?

[Assistant] I'm going to PCC.

[User] How do you like it so far?

[Assistant] I like it so far. My classes are pretty good right now.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* I wish you luck.

[User] All right then, Ms. Montgomery. I’ll get those plans over to your office by Thursday afternoon.

[Assistant] Great. That will give me time to talk with my staff before I make final decision.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That’s what I was thinking. I’ll have them there by Thursday.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Good news. Thanks for getting things done so quickly.

[Assistant] Oh, and there's one more thing you have to do every hour on the hour, sweets.

[User] Blow my nose?

[Assistant] Well, you do that when your nose needs blowing. I was talking about a way to make your throat heal faster.

[User] No, please, Mom! Don't make me gargle with saltwater!

[Assistant] It works better than any medicine, Lily. I'll make you a glass right now, and you'll finish it!

[User] All right. Would you please stand closer to the flower bed? Good. Smile. Say "cheese". OK, got you. That's terrific.

[Assistant] Thanks. Could you take one more from this angle?

[User] No problem.

[Assistant] Now let's have one together.

[User] Do you know how to set up the timer?

[Assistant] Let me see... set the timer first and push the button, oh, come here.

[User] OK, let's have a try.

[Assistant] Cheese...

[User] Did it come out?

[Assistant] Yes, but it's blurred and a little dark.

[User] Never mind. Let's go to the falls and try again.

[User] Now we have settled the terms of payment. Is it possible to effect shipment during September?

[Assistant] I don't think we can.

[User] Then when is the earliest we can expect shipment?

[Assistant] By the middle of October, I think.

[User] That's too late. You see, November is the season for this commodity in our market, and our Customs formalities are rather complicated.

[Assistant] I understand.

[User] Besides, the flow through the marketing channels and the red tape involved take at least a couple of weeks. Thus, after shipment it will be four to five weeks altogether before the goods can reach our retailers. The goods must therefore be shipped before October; otherwise we won't be in time for the selling season.

[Assistant] But our factories are fully committed for the third quarter. In fact, many of our clients are placing orders for delivery in the fourth quarter.

[User] Mr. Brown, you certainly realize that the time of delivery is a matter of great importance to us. If we place our goods on the market at a time when all other importers have already sold their goods at profitable prices, we shall lose out.

[Assistant] I see your point. However, we have done more business this year than any of the previous years. I am very sorry to say that we cannot advance the time of delivery.

[User] That's too bad, but I sincerely hope you will give our request your special consideration.

[Assistant] You may take it from me that the last thing we want to do is to disappoint an old customer like you. But the fact remains that our manufacturers have a heavy backlog on their hands.

[User] But can't you find some way to get round your producers for an earlier delivery? Make a special effort, please. A timely delivery means a lot to us.

[Assistant] All right. We'll get in touch with our producers and see what they have to say.

[User] Yeah, you’re right. We aren’t getting any younger and our kids are getting older.

[Assistant] Exactly! I searched on the web and found a couple of HMO’s with low co-pays and good coverage. The deductibles are low, too.

[User] Sounds good, although, do you think we can qualify for insurance? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money.

[Assistant] Well, we don’ t have any pre-existing illnesses or conditions, so we should be fine.

[Assistant] No, I need my books.

[User] Come on, if we save more money we can retire earlier, and you’ll actually have time to read all those books you buy.

[Assistant] Well, what about the $50 you spent on a shirt? You could’ Ve gotten something for less.

[User] O. K. Let’s compromise, if you agree to only spend $75 on books, I’ll agree to only spend $40 for my next shirt.

[Assistant] Oh, my God, is there any fixed for mat for it-the one that I just need to fix my information in?

[Assistant] It's a furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus.

[User] What is it like living in on-campus housing?

[Assistant] It's not as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen that live nearby are really loud, especially on the weekends. But, the rent is much cheaper than private housing, so it's worth it.

[User] Did you have to pay a deposit?

[Assistant] No, but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months, so for the first 6 months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month.

[User] Do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent?

[Assistant] No, it's all included. Besides, students don't have to pay council tax, so we're saving quite bit of money by living here.

[Assistant] That's the bad thing---the contract ends in June, so we'll have to find a new apartment soon.

[User] Do you ever ask you bank for traveller’s cheques? They are much safer than carrying lots of cash around.

[Assistant] I sometimes use traveller’s cheques, but sometimes I travel to countries where they are hard to exchange for cash.

[User] Do you use your bank to pay your utility bills? I use direct debit.

[Assistant] Yes, I do. It save me a lot of time. I also have standing orders for my subscriptions to magazines.

[User] That’s good idea. You don’t need to worry about missing an issue of a magazine if you do that. I suppose you have a mortgage too.

[Assistant] Yes. My bank offers very good terms and conditions on mortgage. There’s a lot of competition between banks nowadays. Each one is trying to offer better conditions and services than the others.

[User] I have a deposit account with my bank. There are some restrictions on withdrawing money, but the interest rate is much higher.

[User] One of our most popular! The usual interest rate is fixed by the PBC. That is The People's Bank of China. But of course, with some loans, credit rating and loan amount come into play, too.

[Assistant] So, the rate could fluctuate a little, depending on the amount given by the PBC?

[User] That is correct.

[Assistant] I'm going to have to do some more research into this. Thanks for your help, bye for now.

[User] No problem. We also need bread, so I'll go to the baker's. I'll get some vol au vents for Victor's birthday bash on Friday. We'll need balloons for that too.

[Assistant] Better visit the supermarket then. We'll need some other things for the party. Get some vanilla ice cream, some butter and some vinegar and twelve bottles of beer.

[User] Okay. The library's beside the baker's. I'd better take back the videos we borrowed last week. They're overdue.

[Assistant] I'll see you later then.

[User] Ok, please first fill in the form and return it to me. You can do it in the next door.

[Assistant] Done. Here is my paper.

[User] Everybody attention. I would like to make sure you all know the process. The interview consists of three parts. One, all of the interviewees will answer the question there and lasts for maximum one hour. Two, we will take a 30-minute’ s break. After the break, we all come back to this office and I will announce the successful candidates for the 2nd round. In which, you have a small interview with your future manager.

[User] Can I go in to look for a job at their office?

[Assistant] That’s a good decision. They have many good job search tools there.

[User] Is there an office near me?

[Assistant] The Internet has a list of Employment Development Offices listed online.

[User] Do you know where the local office for this area is?

[Assistant] Our office is over on Green Street, just west of the college.

[User] If I go there, will I be able to collect money right away?

[Assistant] Everyone has a one-week waiting period before they can collect.

[User] Is tax already included in their price?

[User] Would you consider a volume discount?

[Assistant] If you buy 1,000 or more, you'll get a 10% discount.

[Assistant] I have no idea.

[User] I recommend you this one. It's a very popular kind of coat-the most recent thing.

[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.

[Assistant] Don't tell me it affects our flight.

[User] It has been delayed.

[Assistant] Did they say for how long?

[User] No, but probably until there is a break in the storm.

[Assistant] So we can't really go anywhere, can we?

[User] I think it's smart to stay close to the gate so we can hear the updates.

[Assistant] I brought some cards. Are you up for a long game?

[Assistant] Beauty costs, dear! What do you think of this dress? Do you think it suits me?

[User] yeah, it's lovely, but to be frank, it's not the most practical. You don't have many formal events in your calendar, do you?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* come on, you sound like my Mom.Look at that, it's beautiful!

[User] when you buy clothes, you must think about the material, quality and price.

[Assistant] maybe you have a point.

[User] make sure you buy what you need and your clothes can be worn for various occasions.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* all right. How about this black shirt? It can be worn for anything---a party, a job interview and even a funeral!

[User] that's true, but you already have two back coats and one black sweater.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* oh! Hey, look, that's the same shirt Britney wore in her concert.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* exactly! Oh, my god! I love Britney! I'm going to get it.

[Assistant] why not try it on?

[User] it's just the right size--a perfect fit! I'll take it. Oh, no, I'm a little short. Did you bring your credit card?

[Assistant] yes.

[Assistant] Ok. On the top, Mr. Thomas, the managing director, is responsible for running the company.

[User] How many departments do we have?

[Assistant] Four. They are production department, finance department, sales and marketing department and HR department. I directly report to Mr. White. He is on a business trip and is suppose to be back this morning. Probably you will be meeting him at lunch.
