[User] No, this is the second time. But I also feel bad because of the lower pressure and the jet lag.

[Assistant] Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Take it easy. It will be OK soon. You see, I take this long-hour plane frequently, but the jet lag still makes me uneasy.

[User] Oh, that's too bad. Do you get a good knowledge of China?

[Assistant] Yes, whenever I think about China, I'd see the Tian'an Men Square. China is a very beautiful country. And I've seen many landmarks in China but I like the Great Wall most.

[User] All of the Chinese are proud of the Great Wall. And it was built before the In dynasty near Shan Haiguan-the First Pass in the World.

[User] There are advertisements everywhere here in hong kong. The city is so bright at night, with all the neon signs.

[Assistant] I like it. It makes the city feel alive. I like all the different colors and I like the billboards with eye-catching pictures and slogans.

[User] I think that there are too many of them. I think that companies spend far too much money on advertising. They should have lower prices instead. Then they would see more.

[Assistant] I see your point, but if companies didn’t spend money on advertising, no one would hear about their products. I agree that some form of advertising can be annoying. I don’t like it when people try to give you leaflets with information about products you have no intention of buying.

[User] I really hate receiving spam. I also dislike having to listen to advertisements and jingles when they are broadcast in stores or on the subway.

[Assistant] Yes, that annoys me too. With billboards, you can look away, but with broadcasts, you can’t avoid them. I like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign.

[User] I like that too. I don’ t like the way that advertising campaign often tell you if you don’ t buy a certain product, you’ re not cool or modern or efficient or something.

[Assistant] That kind of advertising seems to be very common with brand name products. They are always trying to maintain brand loyalty.

[Assistant] So that's where you saw the ghost? In your house? What did it look like? Was it hideous?

[User] It was a big, green thing that looked like a person. It was in the kitchen, and it slowly moved towards the stairs...

[Assistant] So what did you do?

[User] I hid so that it couldn't see me. Slowly it got closer and closer, until...

[Assistant] *Jaw tightens, pacing* But why were you getting off work so late? The office close at six, doesn't it?

[User] Yes, but there's a rush on at the moment, and my boss asked me to do some urgent letters.

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* But didn't you tell him you had an appointment?

[User] Well, no. I thought I'd finish in about five minutes, and I didn't want to be difficult about just a few minutes. If it hadn't been for missing the bus and the traffic, I wouldn't have been so late. I'm sorry.

[User] You need to take some breaks throughout the day. Studying all day isn’t very usually effective.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* You’re right. I usually end up staring at my computer or checking my email instead of doing my work for class.

[User] Besides, it’s not difficult to learn yoga. In fact, I can teach you a move that’s supposed to help you fall asleep! You just have to sit down like this, bend over and breath in deeply.

[User] Why don't you re-take the class next year?

[Assistant] That's what I plan on doing unless I keep screwing up. How did you do this semester?

[User] I didn't do that well either. I ended up with a 3.2 this semester. That drops my total GPA to 3.45.

[Assistant] My GPA is pretty similar to yours. I have a 3.1 now because of the stupid econ class.

[User] What was your GPA before this semester?

[User] It seems that the climate in this country is changing.

[Assistant] The summers are hotter. The last three summers have been the hottest for the past 200 years. There have also been stronger winds.

[User] I think that the changing climate is a sign that we are causing too much damage to the environment.

[User] What did you think of the movie?

[Assistant] I didn't like it. Not a bit. I couldn't stand the music. Besides the story was so boring that it put me to sleep.

[User] I noticed that, it was not exciting as I expected, but the music was great. I'm always found Jazz. And that movie had a lot of Jazz.

[Assistant] I know. However, Jazz always annoys me. I really don't enjoy music in a movie.

[User] I'm sorry to hear that.What kind of movie do you like?

[Assistant] Anything with a lot of action, I like thrillers and chillers.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* It's great. I really get to focus on what I like to do and everyone has been very nice and welcoming. However, I'm having a small problem with my new colleagues.

[Assistant] What happened?

[User] Well, three people are celebrating their birthdays this month and the policy here is for everyone to contribute ten dollars to a card and cake for each person.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Wow, so you'll be out thirty dollars on your first week at work!

[User] I know. It is a lot of money and I haven't gotten to know any of the people celebrating their birthdays well enough yet. At our old department, it was only three dollars for each birthday and there were only ten of us.

[Assistant] Well, every department is different. You wouldn't want your new co-workers to think you're a Grinch, right?

[User] What is that?

[Assistant] A Grinch is a person who spoils the mood at a happy occasion by being selfish or unenthusiastic. You know - a party proper.

[User] He got arrested all right.

[Assistant] *Nose wrinkles, lips curl* If I remember, he got off with a light sentence. Something like three years in a minimum-security prison.

[User] *Lip curls, sneering* Yup, that’s him. He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless.

[Assistant] *Lip curls, sneering* I think the government fined him a small amount, and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts. He’s still a millionaire.

[User] *Lip curls, sneering* That’s the kind of thing in America that gets me mad. Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail.

[User] do you think that there's life on other planets?

[User] do you think that there's intelligent life trying to contact us?

[Assistant] no, but we're trying to contact them.

[User] I suppose you're right.

[Assistant] I think that countries are working hard to find a planet that we can live on in the future so that when global warming destroys this planet, humankind will not become extinct.

[Assistant] American men are naturally taller than Chinese men. So even if I exercise, there aren’t many chances.

[User] No, that’s not true. I’ Ve met two American women who were married to Chinese. But those Chinese look very strong and healthy. So if you exercise more often, I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls. How old is Jacky Chan? He’s small and short. But I bet he can have any American woman he wants.

[Assistant] You know, that’s going to be a tremendous change for me. Because I never exercise.

[User] I guess so. Going to watch a movie and having dinner at a restaurant are usual.

[Assistant] She said she wanted to go Dutch in dating.

[User] Yes, now many girls want to be independent, so it is a little popular, especially among white collars.

[User] You know only one aspect of him. Do you know what he would do in the kitchen?

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Wasn't that a great flick? I was on the edge of my seat through the whole movie.

[Assistant] I would say it was a typical run-of-the-mill Hollywood thriller.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Well, I'm no movie expert, but those special effects were impressive by any standards.

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Special effects? Baloney! That movie was made on a shoestring budget. They've been using trick photography like that for years.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* Okay. But you have to admit that it was an exciting story, especially with that surprise ending.

[Assistant] You should read the book. The original story is much better and has a different twist at the end.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Oh, really? How does the book end?

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Wow! That must be really awesome to stand on the top of the mountain to overlook the earth.

[Assistant] Actually, it is impossible because the mountain is covered with snow all year around. And is has heavy fog for most of the time.

[User] Have people set foot on its peak?

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* No wonder you can control your voice so well. You are a professional singer.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Well, you are flattering me. I wouldn't say I am a professional, but I did receive some training at school. My music teacher used to be a professional singer.

[User] I Don't know how they do it! Our competitors have undercut us by 10% percent on the price of our latest model. There is no way will be able to compete against that. We're barely breaking even with the present prices.

[Assistant] These price wars are disastrous for our bottom line. If they're charging 10% less than we are, we've got to find a way to lower our price while keeping our profit.

[User] Profits are almost nonexistent now, we can't beat their price. How do they keep their price so low?

[Assistant] We can try to lower our cost of production then. We need a price that we can compete with, something comparable with the competition.

[User] What are the seasons like in your city?

[Assistant] Summers are hot and usually lasts a long time. Winters are short, but cold, wet, and windy. I love the summers in my city, but I hate the wintertime.

[User] Does it ever rain in summer?

[Assistant] We usually get a big thunderstorm every two weeks, but apart from that, summers are dry. Thunderstorms make the air fresh again, so most people don’t mind then.

[User] What are spring and autumn like?

[Assistant] I like spring because flowers bloom and trees grow leaves again. In spring, the weather is very changeable-sometimes cold, sometimes warm. It’s usually windy with some rain. Autumn is usually sunny and dry, but it’s gradually gets colder as winter arrives. What are the seasons like in you city?

[User] Well, I live in the southern hemisphere, so our summertime is your wintertime, and vice versa. We get some rain in every season, but most is in winter. In winter, it sometimes gets cold, but our winters are usually quite mild. Summers are warm, but not hot. Spring and autumn are both very short-sometimes just a few weeks each. The weather is very changeable then-just like spring in your city.

[Assistant] Do you usually go on a summer holiday?

[User] No, I don’t. I go on a winter holiday instead. I go somewhere warm.

[Assistant] I usually go on holiday during the spring or the autumn. I try to go somewhere where the weather is more reliable than in my city.


[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] How do you think people get their personalities?

[Assistant] I think it’s mainly from the environment a person lives in.

[User] Don’ t you think people get their personalities from their parents?

[Assistant] No, but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in, so they certainly influence their kids' personalities a lot.

[User] So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different from their parents.

[Assistant] Maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be completely different to their parents.

[User] You might be right. I guess most parents want their kids to be like them, but kids today grow up in a different environment. You know, they know much more about the world from the internet, newspapers, and tv.

[Assistant] Do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from tv and movies?

[User] Maybe some of it. I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren’t bringing their child up correctly.

[Assistant] Parents have a difficult job. They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too.

[User] Yes, that’s true. Your son is doing well at school, isn’t he?

[Assistant] Yes, he is. He’s very hardworking when he’s at school. Then he comes home from school and does homework before dinner. After dinner, he goes out with his friends.


[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.

[User] Are you an art aficionado?

[Assistant] Not really. I like going to an art exhibition once or twice a year. I hardly know anything about art or sculpture. You are a true art lover, aren’t you?

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* I love going to art galleries, particularly when one is holding an exhibition of abstract art.

[Assistant] I never understand the meaning of those painting. They are too abstract for me. I didn’ t pay much attention in art class at school.

[User] Art isn’t for everyone. I’m going to an exhibition tomorrow at the national gallery. It’s an exhibition of greek and roman sculpture.

[Assistant] I like sculpture, especially that form ancient rome or Greece. What time are you thinking of going? I’d love to go with you.

[User] I thought I’d have an early lunch and go immediately afterwards. Does that sound ok to you? Bus 51 goes directly there.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* That sounds fine. What time shall we meet at the bus stop?

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* your daughter will be back soon. I'm going to start making dinner. You can just watch some TV in TV room if you like. We just bought a new TV with a LCD screen. The remote control is on the coffee ta.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead? I do enjoy cooking.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* this is supposed to be your vacation; we'd like you to just relax.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* cooking makes me feel relaxed. So, what are we cooking?

[User] ok, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagne, a salad, and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard?

[Assistant] sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away, too.

[User] that's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius?

[Assistant] that's a bit high for lasagne. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there.

[User] fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet.

[Assistant] you know, I could do this myself. Why don't you go get the screwdriver and the pliers and go fix the vacuum cleaner so it works better?

[User] I don't think it's broken.

[Assistant] well, if it's not broken, then you need to learn how to vacuum better, because it doesn't look like you've vacuumed for ages!
