[User] So, Monica, what do you feel like doing this afternoon?

[Assistant] Actually, I had a perfect plan for this afternoon, but it is totally ruined by the sand storm. I woke up this morning and found it was sunny. So I called Lucy and asked her to go shopping with me. We were going to look for a new purse. Now it turned out to be like this. Neither of us wants to go to outside anymore.

[User] *Arms wrapped, seeking comfort* That’s too bad. I hate sand storms too. It can be worse than any kind of bad weather.

[Assistant] What’s wrong with climate? Anyway, I think the sand storm happens more frequently these days than the years before. Can’t people do something to stop it?

[User] It is not an easy job. The government is working on it. Lots of trees have been planted in the north of the capital. Also, methods of generating rain are being used by the government to fight against the drought. But of course, it will not work overnight. So, have you come out with a new plan for today?

[Assistant] My new plan is to wait for the end of the sand storm and clean my apartment.

[Assistant] Take it easy. It is all over now. How was it going, anyway?

[User] I don’ t know. I think I did well in the paper exams. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions, but they didn’ t ask those as I expected. To my surprise, the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me.

[Assistant] That’s strange. But probably, it is the new interview technique they call it “Getting to know you more personally”. What about your answers?

[User] I never understand why these shops have so much liquor.

[Assistant] What do you mean? It's because it's much cheaper to buy liquor duty-free.

[User] But why? Why don't people like to buy shirts duty-free? Or shoes? I just don't understand why it's always liquor.

[Assistant] Well, it's because in most countries liquor has a higher tax on it.

[User] You mean liquor has a higher tax than other things?

[Assistant] Yes, of course. Didn't you know that?

[User] No, I didn't. How high is the tax?

[Assistant] Well, it is different in different countries.But it's because of the high tax that buying liquor duty-free is such a good deal.

[User] Why would the government want to tax liquor so much?

[Assistant] Liquor is considered a luxury item.And also, it is considered as something that isn't very healthy.So if people want to buy it, the government thinks it has the right to tax it.

[User] That's why a lot of people buy cigarettes here too, isn't it?

[User] What did you learn at the workshop you went to yesterday? Do you think it was worth the investment to go?

[Assistant] Yeah, I really got a lot of the session. The workshop topic was resolving personal problems. It was led by a professional human resources director. The teacher had a lot of experience, and I think we were all given a really good base to start with.

[User] The workshop was only one afternoon long, do you really think you can learn that much in only a couple of hours?

[Assistant] It depends on the topic, the teacher, and the way the course is set up. Yesterday, even though we only had a short time to discuss the issues, the workshop got us all thinking. We learned some very basic, but very useful methods of dealing with personnel issues.

[User] Sounds like you really learned a lot.

[User] No, it wasn't. Rather, it looked like a Bundesliga match, where physical contact is so frequent. English League teams are apt to pass the midfield quickly with long passes.

[Assistant] it's an Egyptian carpet. The student came to my office the other day and brought the carpet to show his gratitude. Seeing what gift was, I was really uncomfortable. I mean it's too expensive a gift.

[User] you refused the gift? That's terrible.

[Assistant] I know, but I really can't accept such an expensive gift. I explained to him why, but he seemed really upset about it. I think he might have taken it the wrong way.
