[Assistant] They are all pretty easy-going. It's a very friendly place to work.

[User] What do you think are the main causes of war today?

[Assistant] I’ d say the main reason is poverty. Countries and their people get frustrated because they have so little. If their neighbors have some resources, they try to steal them by military force.

[User] It seems that a lot of wars nowadays are really civil wars. People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country.

[Assistant] Several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years. It seems they will never end.

[User] How do you think they could be ended?

[Assistant] I don’ t think that there is any easy way. The united nations could send peacekeepers into the country. At least then the warring parties could be forced to negotiate. The thing is to find the real problem form the war and solve that.

[User] So, if the cause is poverty, there should be a program to make the country richer. If the problem is resources, share them.

[Assistant] It sounds easy when you say it like that. In reality, it’s harder to make peace between countries.

[User] Yes. It is. One way to stop countries fighting is to cut off their financial support. Wars are very expensive.

[Assistant] The problem is that many poor people might suffer.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Congratulations! Why do people hold parties before the baby is born?

[User] It's the tradition. But baby showers as we know them today were not common until after World Warri.

[Assistant] In any case, I like baby showers, because they allow friends and family to share the joy and excitement of welcoming a new life into the world.

[User] So you will come, won't you?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Of course. I will prepare a good gift for the new arrival.

[User] What are you doing?

[Assistant] *Eyes wide, mouth open* What am I doing? What am I doing? Don’t you know what day it is?

[User] Mumm. no.

[Assistant] It’s only the day when the world’s biggest sporting event is kicking off.

[User] *Hands raised to face* What?

[Assistant] The World Cup! The first match is today! It’s Mexico vs. South Africa! It’s going to be a really good match! Both teams have a very strong offense and have skilled players. I think that South Africa will probably dominate the first half since they are the host country, and all.

[User] I have no idea what you’re talking about. The only sporting event we watch at home is the Super Bowl.

[Assistant] This is bigger than the Super Bowl, man! Teams from 32 countries compete against each other every four years and fight to win that trophy. They first start in a group stage with bigger groups, each group having 4 teams. The top 2 teams pass on to an elimination stage before going on to the quarter final sand semifinals.

[User] Sounds interesting, but soccer doesn’ t really appeal to me.

[Assistant] Are you kidding? Over seven hundred million people watched the final match of the World Cup! It’s a very exciting and nerve wracking sport! Each nation is cheering on their team, hoping they will become the next champion. So far Brazil is the team with the most titles under their belt; they’re really good!

[User] All I know about soccer is that you can’t use your hands and that players are always falling down, trying to get a free kick or penalty kick. It seems like a sissy sport to me!

[Assistant] Whatever dude, I’m going to go watch the opening match.

[User] Did you hear? The state is thinking of legalizing gambling in our city! Soon we are gonna have amazing hotels and casinos here which will be good for our business!

[Assistant] Are you serious? Gambling is a vice industry built on deception and fed by the intentional exploitation of human weakness for the sole purpose of monetary gain! It disgusts me.

[User] What are you talking about? How does it exploit people?

[Assistant] Well, to begin with, Gambling is addictive, ruins marriages, destroys families and bankrupts communities. Once you are addicted it is very difficult to stop. People have lost their houses, cars and been left out on the street after becoming addicted. Secondly, it exploits because men become addicted to gambling most often because of the action and risk. Women gamble to escape, and senior citizens will start gambling for the social interaction. Underage gamblers often start gambling on sports with friends and then illegal bookies.

[User] Geez! Now that I think about it, maybe legalizing gambling isn’t such a good idea! Although, I have been to Las Vegas, and I didn’t become addicted or anything like that.

[Assistant] You cannot predict who will become addicted to gambling. Now excuse me, I have a protest rally to organize!

[User] But the bank should be closed so we shouldn't to be able to get any money.

[Assistant] Mmm, you may be right.

[User] Do you think we’ll need our overcoats?

[Assistant] Of course not. If you're feeling bad and want to let your emotions out, you can just say whatever you want to me.

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* Great, because I am really mad at William. I mean, what kind of an idiot wouldn't be able to appreciate a smart, beautiful woman like me? Anybody who would be friends with that guy has to be really dumb.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Baltimore defeated Texas by 17 points!

[Assistant] Um...and what sport are we talking about here?

[User] Football of course!

[Assistant] Oh... football. Football is cool. I usually try to catch the World Cup finals.

[User] No, I'm talking about American football. The World Cup is soccer.

[Assistant] Oh, I understand. I can't say I'm a big fan. I'm from China, and football doesn't have a really big following over there.

[User] So Chinese people prefer soccer or basketball?

[Assistant] Yes, I think so. But to be perfectly honest, I'm not really a sports nut.When I was in high school I played on the school volleyball team. Are you a diehard football fan?

[User] Oh, certainly. I wouldn't miss a game for the world. My girlfriend says I have an addiction. And actually, if I had to choose between her and my games... I'd probably pick football.

[Assistant] It seems Americans are very passionate about sports. Is this just a part of your culture?

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* 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 5 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 there.

[Assistant] I'll bet you were a little embarrassed.

[User] You're right. The invitation said two to seven. I was there at two o'clock, but most people didn't arrive until three or four. They didn't start cooking until five o’ clock.

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

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* 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.

[Assistant] Don't worry. We won't be the first.

[User] Some people are always closing their handsets, so it's difficult to inform them.

[Assistant] Why not send them short messages?

[User] Can short messages reach them?

[Assistant] Short messages will be kept in the short messages center. Once they open the handsets they will receive them, which is better than you can't find them.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Why haven't I thought of this skill?

[Assistant] I use short messages quite a lot. If it's not too complicated I will send a short message, which can save much phone charge.

[User] I am informed that many people used short messages to pay a New Year call, and only on the Spring Festival it amounted to 1 billion this year, didn't it?

[Assistant] I almost can't live without messages, from which I learn about weather forecasts and stock quotations.

[User] Come on. We’ Ve been through this already! Look, I know the adjustment was hard when you first got here, but we agreed that you were gonna try and deal with it.

[Assistant] I was. It’s just that the holidays are coming up and I won’t be able to home because I can’t afford the airfare. I’m just longing for some of the comforts of home, like my mom’s cooking and being around my family.

[User] Yeah, it can get pretty lonely over the holidays. When I first got here, I’d get depressed and nostalgic for anything that reminded me of home. I almost let it get to me, but then I started going out, keeping myself busy and before I knew it, I was used to to it.

[Assistant] I see what you mean, but I’m still bummed out.

[User] OK. how does this sound, let’s get you suited up and hit the dance club tonight. I hear that an awesome DJ is playing and there will be a lot of pretty single girls there!
