[User] Hey Joe, what are you doing in this department store?

[Assistant] Hi, Rita, I’m just looking for a pair of shoes. I won’t be here for long.

[User] Why not? When I go shoe shopping, I have so many options for sneakers that I spend awhile looking at all of the choices.

[Assistant] That’s my problem. I don’t have a lot of options.

[User] So how do you usually go about buying shoes, then?

[Assistant] Well, first of all, I can only go to certain stores that can guarantee me a large selection.

[User] Well, you’re in the right store. If they don’t have it, no one will.

[Assistant] After that I choose something from one of the few brands that I know will fit me. I prefer white, so I ask them to bring me a pair of white sneakers in my size. Since I’m usually only given one or two pairs of shoes that meet my qualifications, it makes it a very easy choice.

[Assistant] Sir, according to your file, you spent Monday evening watching 'Titanic.'

[User] Well, the file is wrong. I was at a great concert that night.

[Assistant] Well, this wouldn't be the first time that a file was wrong. Just a moment, please.

[User] Thank you for taking care of it so quickly.

[Assistant] Sir, when I deleted the $10, the program automatically added a $2 service charge.

[User] *Arms crossed, body tense* You can't do that! You can't charge me for a mistake that you made!

[Assistant] Sometimes you can't win for losing, sir.

[User] *Jaw tightens, pacing* Well, now I've seen it all! What a rip-off this place is!

[User] Our housing problem is a highly complicated issue.

[Assistant] It is true. I think we should change some policies.

[User] Right. Like our LPF program. The mortgage size is linked with the amount of savings households have accumulated on their LPF accounts.

[Assistant] Indeed, it's unfair. Households with higher salaries receive larger LPF contributions and thus qualify for larger loans. Lower-income households, on the other hand, can only get smaller loans, or perhaps nothing if they could not afford to purchase any housing.

[User] I am interested in your hardware. I've seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of the items will find a ready market in France. Here is a list of requirements.

[Assistant] Thank you for your inquiry. Would you tell us what quantity you require so that we can work out the offer?

[User] I will do that. Meanwhile, could you give me an indication of the price.

[Assistant] Here are our FOB price lists. All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation.

[User] What about the commission? From European suppliers, I usually get a 3 to 5 % commission for my imports. It's the general practice.

[Assistant] As a rule we don't allow any commission. But if the order is sizable one, we will consider it.

[User] You see I do business on a commission basis. A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales. Even 2 or 3 % would help.

[Assistant] We'll discuss this when you place your order with us.


[System] This is a discussion on normal, everyday things. Take on the role of the person the user is speaking with, and feel free to invent details to keep it real. Just keep it casual.

[User] Mr. Black, when is the earliest shipment you can make?

[User] I am afraid shipment by early May would be too late for us. Our customs formalities are quite complicated, and it takes time to distribute the goods to the farmers in our country. The fertilizers must be delivered before April, or else we can't be in time for the spring sowing.

[Assistant] In that case, we will have to improve one month further on the time. Now is Jan. If the fertilizers should be shipped before the end of March, only 2 months are left. The time is too limited.

[User] You understand a timely delivery is very important to us.

[Assistant] All right. You can rest assured that we will do everything possible to advance shipment. The fertilizers will be delivered before April.
