[Assistant] License and registration please. Have you been drinking tonight, sir?

[User] I had one or two glasses of eggnog, but nothing else.

[Assistant] Step out of the vehicle, please. Sir, what do you have in the back?

[User] Just a few Christmas gifts, to this season, after all!

[Assistant] Don’ t take that tone with me. Do you have an invoice for these items?

[Assistant] You are under arrest, sir. You have the right to remain silent. You better not pout, you better not cry. Anything you say can and will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, the state will appoint one for you.

[User] What should I get Uncle Teddy?

[Assistant] You could get him a tie.

[User] *Hands raised to face* Are you kidding? That's the stupidest gift one can buy. I don't want to get a tie.

[Assistant] Why not?

[User] Everybody gets men ties for Christmas. It's too boring. Everybody buys either ties or sweaters. I want a more unique gift.

[Assistant] Well, you can buy him a pet iguana then.

[User] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That's a cool idea. At least it would be a surprise.But I'm afraid he wouldn't take care of it.

[Assistant] He would think you were crazy, Caroline.

[User] Yes. An iguana is too strange for a gift, and a tie is too normal.So I have to find something halfway between.

[Assistant] How much do you want to spend?

[User] Well, he was very good to me.He helped me edit my essay for the scholarship contest.So I want to spend at least 75 dollars.

[Assistant] Alright, I have an idea.You know he carries that conservative-looking briefcase every day.

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] Well, he isn't a lawyer, so I don't think he needs to have a briefcase like that.

[User] What should he have then?

[Assistant] I think he would appreciate having a very fine leather bag.But more like a workbag or shoulder bag.You know, not so hard and square like a briefcase.

[User] *Posture light, bouncy* I think that's a great idea. Men look great with that kind of bag.Where can we buy one?

[Assistant] I don't think this mall has a leather goods store.So we have to go to State Street.

[User] Alright. We can go later then.

[Assistant] We can buy something for Mom and Dad here, and then go buy Uncle Teddy's gift on State Street.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Good plan. What should we get for Mom though?

[Assistant] She said she wants one of those automatic foot massagers. I think they sell them at Sears.

[User] Alright. We can go check at Sears and see if they have them.And what about Dad?

[Assistant] How about the iguana?

[User] I think it would be a great joke.But I know we'd have to take the iguana back. And the pet store might not let us.So why don't we get him something else? Some clothes maybe.

[Assistant] A tie?

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* Oh, shut up about ties! Forget about ties, why not?

[Assistant] I was just kidding.

[User] so, your friend’s getting married on Saturday. What have you bought her as a wedding gift. I find is so hard to choose the right gift.

[Assistant] my friend and her fiance had a really good idea. They have cut out pictures from catalogues and pasted them in a notebook. The picture are of things they want. People sign their name b

[User] that’s clever! Then everyone knows that they are buying something the couple really want and there’s no chance of two people buying the same gift. What things were in the notebook?

[Assistant] most of the things were household appliance. You know, everything from an iron through a vacuum cleaner to a cooker. I think it’s an excellent way for everyone who knows the couple to help.

[User] so, what did you get them?

[Assistant] I bought a sewing machine. I know that my friend likes making her own clothes, but her current sewing machine is quite old and has some problems.

[User] what’s wrong with is?

[Assistant] she says that after several years of use, it’s not working properly. When she uses it, it makes a funny noise.

[User] household appliance don’ t seem to last for a long time nowadays.

[Assistant] I think it’s because the manufactures are constantly bringing out new models. Because they know that we will buy the new models, the appliances don’ t need to last more than five or ten year.

[Assistant] Oh, why such a high mileage?

[User] The owner was commuting everyday crossing the state line.

[User] One month.

[Assistant] Why, what's the lowdown?

[User] According to the report, our Boston crowd is quite different make-up from our Chicago folks. Our Boston consumers are mostly from mid-level to upper-class income levels, university or postgraduates, married no children, white collar... You know the kind. Chicago on the other hand is mostly mid to low income levels, single parent homes, blue collar... I think we're talking about two totally different target groups.

[Assistant] You need to free your disk space. The simplest way is to use a Disk-Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and in store programs that you no longer use. Things should be fine next time you start. You also need to control what starts up. There is a program calls Start-up Delayer, It can help to set after how much time programs should be loaded after Windows boosts.

[User] What's wrong?

[Assistant] *Posture stiff, every movement sharp* I have a headache. These past few days I've been living off painkillers. Man, I feel like my head is going to explode.

[User] You should get acupuncture treatment. My mom was always having headache issues and it was acupuncture that cured her.

[Assistant] The results are too slow. On top of that, just the thought of smoking needles poking into my flesh frightens me.

[User] They don't just randomly stick you, they find your pressure points. The heat allows the body to immediately respond to the treatment, restoring the body's "chi".

[Assistant] *Flinches at every sound* But I get scared the moment I see a needle. How could I stand having needles in my body for hours on end?

[User] The needles are very thin, and as long as the doctor's technique is good, and the patient himself is relaxed, it won't hurt-on the contrary it will actually alleviate pain. Now there are high-tech needles that are micro thin; they don't hurt at all. However, if you are really scared of acupuncture, scraping or cupping are also options.

[Assistant] *Legs tremble, posture crouched* Scraping is too terrifying. When they finish scrapping, your body is all red, as if you were just tortured. Cupping is the same, your body ends up with red circles all over. It looks like someone beat you up.

[User] This only signifies that the toxins have left the body. Actually, there is only discomfort during the treatment process. Once it's over you feel very comfortable.

[Assistant] Chinese medicine is strange. The patients are already ill, and then the doctor makes them suffer more.

[User] This is the only way to get at the problem. Anyway, if you want to relieve the pain, you are just going to have to be tough and do it.

[Assistant] Forget it. I don't want to inflict any more pain on myself. In a little while I'll go and buy some more painkillers and take a nap.

[Assistant] OK. By the way, can you tell me how many kilos of free baggage each passenger is allowed?

[Assistant] First-class.

[User] For a first-class passenger, the free baggage allowance is forty kilos.

[Assistant] How many pieces of baggage can I carry on to the plane?

[User] Passengers holding first class tickets may carry 2 pieces within the total weight of 5 kg onto the plane.

[Assistant] If my baggage exceeds the allowance, what should I do?

[User] Have you had a chance to look over the contract?

[Assistant] Yes. I've read it carefully.

[User] And do you have any questions?

[Assistant] No. But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week.Will you have thatmany classes for me right away?

[User] No, probably not. For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.

[Assistant] But my salary will be 1100 dollars a month.Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.

[User] I understand. That's why I didn't write the date on the contract.For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach.When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect.Is that alright with you?

[Assistant] Oh, so I don't sign the contract today. Is that right?

[User] I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs.We are very serious about hiring you. We want you to teach for us.We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.

[Assistant] I can accept that.

[User] Good. And your benefits will begin immediately.

[Assistant] Even my health insurance?

[User] Yes. We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow.And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.

[Assistant] I have a few questions about the free membership.

[User] What would like to know?

[Assistant] Is my membership the same as paying club members? I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels?

[User] Absolutely. The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.

[Assistant] What are bar vouchers?

[User] Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers.The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge.But we don't offer vouchers to employees.

[Assistant] But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.

[User] That's right. So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members.You get more benefits than they do.

[Assistant] So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract.But we won't sign it yet. That right?

[User] Yes. I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything.So that you understand the terms.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* I understand.And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job. I look forward to it.

[User] Welcome to our shop. It seems you are interested in this dress.

[Assistant] Yes. But I am afraid it is too thick to wear in summer.

[User] That's no problem. It is made of linen, so you won't feel hot in it. I can assure you it is of superior quality. What is more, it is very popular with young women.

[Assistant] Yes. Could you tell me how to send some money to someone with an account with a bank in Germany?

[User] Well, you can pay by mail, telegraphic or SWIFT transfer. Or you can have a banker's draft and mail it yourself to the beneficiary.

[Assistant] Which is the best way?

[User] It depends on the amount and how fast you want that person to receive the money. A SWIFT transfer is the fastest method but a banker's draft is usually the cheapest. How much do you wanna send?

[Assistant] $800.

[User] Why don't you send it by mail payment order?

[Assistant] How long does it take?

[User] About a week.

[Assistant] I don't know. Can I send it more quickly?

[User] Sure. You can have a Telegraphic or a SWIFT transfer.

[Assistant] I see. How can I pay by Telegraphic Transfer?

[User] It’s easy enough. Just make sure you keep track of all your expenses. The accounting department will reimburse you for all your meals and travel expenses.

[Assistant] So the company will pay for everything?

[User] Yes, but when you send in your expense report, you also have to file a report summarizing your trip. It’s not just a big vacation, you know.

[User] Well, let’s have a look. Open wide. Hmm...this doesn’t look good. Well, it looks like you have a cavity and your crown is loose. We’ll need to put in a filling before it gets any worse, and the crown probably needs to be refitted. I’m going to order some x-rays.

[Assistant] Well, let me see. Now it's 11:00 sharp. It's a long way to go.If I take the shortest route, we may come across a traffic jam.If I take a less heavy route, it will save us 10 or more minutes, but you'll have to pay more. Which do you prefer?

[User] Are you sure that I can get there in time if we take the less heavy route?

[Assistant] Generally speaking, we can if we go at this speed and nothing unexpected happens.

[User] How much more do I have to pay?

[Assistant] Compared to the shortest route, you may pay around 5 Euro more.

[User] That's acceptable. No one wants to miss a train.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* I've been learning to play go recently. It's an amazing game!

[Assistant] Weigh? It must be a greatest Chinese invention. I've tried hard to learn it. Its rules can't be any simpler, but I've never won a game of Go. Well, it's all Greek to me!

[User] At least you have obtained a very basic understanding of the game, haven't you? I think it is perfect for boosting intelligence, cultivating personality and flexible learning. Every intellectual wishing to gain any insight into Chinese culture should learn to play Go.

[Assistant] I heard it is included in the four major arts of China, is it?

[User] Sure. It was considered desirable that a well-educated ancient Chinese scholar could be well versed in zither, weigh, calligraphy and painting. I think weigh is the most fantastic of them. It embodies ancient Chinese wisdom and cultural profoundness.

[Assistant] I know it is quite different from Western chess.

[User] Yes. Playing chess is a very aggressive experience. All the pieces are supposed to capture their opponents. Whenever I start a chess game, I can't help but imagine a concrete battle in which all fighters stand ready to kill.

[User] It's such a nice day outside. Let’s take a walk into town and do some window-shopping.

[Assistant] You know I hate shopping more than anything else in this world.

[User] I know. But we could get some exercise in, and we could get some errands run, too. Window-shopping won’t cost you anything.

[Assistant] What kind of errands do we need to run?

[User] Well, we could go to the newsagent's to pick up the Sunday paper, go to the butcher's to pick up a chicken for a roast dinner, and to the chemist's to pick up your prescription from the doctor.

[Assistant] I'll only go if we can stop at the office-license to pick up something to drink for tonight.

[User] Fine, we'll do that on the way home, so we don’t have to carry it the whole time.

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* Sounds good. You have to promise not go into any of the stores in the mall though. I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms, especially if the stores have special offers.

[User] I promise. We're only going for a walk to get some exercise and to get some things done that we haven’t had time for.

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Ok, let's go then!

[User] Do you have any money?

[Assistant] For what?

[User] For our errands, and maybe a little extra for something from a vendor on the street.

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* You said you were only going to window shop!

[User] Even with volume sales our costs for the Exec User won't go down much.

[Assistant] Just what are you proposing?

[User] We could take a cut on the price. But 25% would reduce much our profit margin. We suggest a compromise 10%.

[Assistant] That's a big change from 25%! 10% is beyond my negotiating limit. Any other ideas?

[User] I don't think I can change it right now. Why don't we talk again tomorrow?

[Assistant] Sure. I have to talk to my office anyway. I hope we can find some common ground on this.

[User] Robert, I have been instructed to reject the numbers you proposed, but we can try to come up with something else.

[Assistant] I hope so, Dana. My instructions are to negotiate hard on this deal, but I'm trying very hard to reach some middle ground.

[User] I understand. We propose a structured deal. For the first six months, we get a discount of 20% and the next six months we get 15%.

[Assistant] Dana. I can't bring those numbers back to my office, they'll turn it down flat.

[Assistant] Thank you for telling me about this. What should I do here?

[User] First, change your shoes to slippers. Then walk up to the changing room to get prepared for a shower.

[User] We've got a problem...it looks like we'll need more spotlights on the exhibition booth. The client thinks it's too dark, and they want to add halogen lighting. We've already got 3 sets of track lighting from you guys, do you think you could help us out and throw in some halogens?

[Assistant] Oh... Um... I don't think so. you know the halogen lighting is much more expensive than your track lighting system. Plus I'm going to have to call in some guys to install it for you. That's not going to come cheap.

[User] But it would only be adding to the existing structure. We're not talking about anything new here...

[Assistant] It doesn't matter because we will still have to call the electrician out, and they are union labor. It'll cost you a pretty penny...

[User] How much do you think it would cost?

[Assistant] Mumm, I estimate it'll run in the neighborhood of... $500 per light.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* $500per light?? That's ridiculous! It can't possibly be that expansive!

[Assistant] It is, I'll tell you why. We'll have to call in the electrician, he's going to charge overtime now because it's already 5PM, and it will probably take him an hour a light. Plus, the halogen lights take more electricity, so your electrical cost is going to be higher as well.

[User] Can't you give me a break on this? We've already spent so much money on lighting, I hate to have to blow so much more on halogens.

[Assistant] No, that's the cost, and that's what it's going to cost us. We can't go in the hole with this. I am giving you my best price, so take it, or leave it.

[User] No, I shouldn't think so. By the way, is there a socket for my razor?
