[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* I know it's so exciting! A new year is always like a clean slate. Fresh start to accomplish any dreams, objectives and goals.

[User] Do you have a New Year's resolution?

[Assistant] I was thinking about it, but I'm never able to keep my New Year's resolution. Last year for example I joined a gym and only went twice.

[User] Yeah I know what you mean. That's why this year I am keeping things more simple. Maybe like getting together with friends I haven't seen in a long time, or doing some volunteering work.

[Assistant] That seems reasonable. We should get together and watch the ball drop in Times Square.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Sure, as long as you don't try to kiss me at midnight!

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Well, we can't break tradition! It's bad luck!

[Assistant] Oh yeah?

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Well, we were talking and catching up on what we’ve been doing, talking about work and family, when all of a sudden, Matt saw a mouse run under his chair and he completely lost it! He started freaking out, and screaming...

[User] I’d love to have my own farm.

[Assistant] It would be very hard work. Are you sure?

[User] I wouldn’t mind getting up early morning and the physical work would make me fit and healthy.

[Assistant] Running a farm would be totally different to you current job.

[User] That’s one reason I’d like to try it. I’d really like to get away from working 9 to 5 in an office.

[Assistant] You’ d need a lot of training before becoming a farmer. It’ s not something you can just walk into.

[User] My uncle owns a farm and I’ Ve spent some time working with him. I love being in the countryside with farm animals and green fields.

[User] what about a factory tour?

[Assistant] you mean visit a factory?

[User] yes. I heard there's a lager motor company nearby which open to the public every weekend. We can go to see how a car is manufactured and learn more about the automobile industry.

[Assistant] good idea! I've always been interested in that. How much is the entrance fee?

[User] I'm not sure, but as far as I know, most factory tours are free. They are sponsored by the company providing the tour.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* really? What do the companies do that for?

[User] I believe most of them think of it as good public relations. They can promote their product and make their company better-known.

[Assistant] oh, i see. So factory tours are good for companies as well as visitors.

[User] exactly.

[Assistant] do we need an appointment beforehand?

[User] Look, here're two coins named Kai Yuan Tong Bao — the sort of coin made in memory of the founding of a new dynasty. These two coins were made in different periods of the Tang Dynasty.

[Assistant] How can you tell the difference? From what I see, they look almost the same.

[User] The one made in the early Tang period is bigger and has more characters on it, while the one with smaller and elegant characters was made in late Tang period. Look carefully, and tell me if you see the difference now.

[Assistant] Yes, they are different! But it's too professional. What I need is just being able to tell the real from the fake. Do you know any method we can use to tell a fake ancient coin?

[User] Various methods were used in history to produce fake coins. We usually send the coin to an authorized unit to have it tested by experts with special machines. We can judge it with naked eyes.

[Assistant] I see. By the way, China was more than once ruled by foreign tribes in history. Did they issue their own coins in China?

[User] Certainly, they did. Liao Coins and Song Coins, for example, coexisted in circulation during the Southern Song and Yuan period some 800-1000 years ago. The Liao Coins look plain and bold in style, just like the characteristics of the Mongolian tribe. Let me look for one and show you.

[Assistant] If you happen to find one, please bargain with the owner for it. I'd like to have one. It's interesting to see the integration of the Han and Mongolian cultures on this small piece of metal.

[User] Yes. We should plant more trees and grass to stop the sand from spreading.

[Assistant] It may take many years for the trees to grow. I hope people will stop cutting down trees.

[User] But we need the wood.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* It's really frustrating, isn't it? I have the same problem. I would feel a lot better if the currency was a little more stable. With the way the dollar plummeting lately, my securities have gone up in smoke.

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* Every day I have less money! I haven't spent anything, it is just melting away because of the shifts in exchange rate.

[User] What we really should be making investment in is the Euro. I've followed the Euro's progress over the last quarter, I think it's about time to buy in.

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* You can say that again. Susan’ brother dropped in from out of town, so I offered to put him up for a few days. But he’s driving me up a wall. This guy is bottomless pit.

[User] *Body freezes, head jerks back* How gross! I can’t handle people like that. Does he at least give you a hand around the house?

[Assistant] *Jaw tightens, pacing* He doesn’t lift a finger! I bend over backwards cleaning up all day and he sleeps in until noon.

[User] Man, what a freeloader. You better do something quick or he’ll never hit the road. After all, he’s got it made in the shade here.

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* You think he might stay even longer??

[User] Now, don’ t go losing your temper. If you tolerated all you can, just kick him out... but do it with gloves. I know! Tell him a white lie like you’ re getting the house fumigated!

[User] Marquet, do you think I should enroll in the science course?

[Assistant] Yes, I think so. If you want to graduated this year, you've got to take a science course.

[User] Right, I figure since you are doing premedical, you know about the very courses.

[Assistant] Well, I have to take biology, chemistry, maps and physics. What you need is a good introductory course for non-science majors.

[User] Yes, I'm really weak in maps, I did poorly in high school.

[User] Earning extra income on the Internet is easier than you might think. After I started selling traditional craft items on the Internet last year, I have really been able to make bank doing something I love.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* Is that right? I hear all these horror stories of internet business crashing because there is not enough of a customer base yet. How can you be sure your idea will cash in?

[User] To run a successful internet business, it requires a little research and relatively small investment. You've got to have a good idea of some kind of product that is in demand or would be popular.

[Assistant] That's marketing research... But what about getting started once you have an idea?

[User] After you have your great idea, then you can set up shop by registering a domain name, creating a website, an email address, and a hosting service. If you want to go all out on your website, you can put together shopping cart technology, but that can be pricey to start out with.

[Assistant] Sounds like a lot of work!

[User] Maybe if I sold my car now, I wouldn't be so tempted to use it.

[Assistant] You could try. It would save you a lot of money.

[User] That's true. Every month, I spend hundreds of dollars on gas, insurance, and repairs.

[Assistant] If you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving, you will get lots of exercise, too!

[User] I could stand to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking anywhere!

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Let's go to a car dealership. I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price.

[Assistant] A tough job. They even offer in-service training every Wednesday afternoon.

[User] Good for you.

[Assistant] I don't like it. I am not used to this kind of 9 to 5 work hours. Above all, I hate talking to those poker faces everyday.

[User] Well, you have to take the bad with the good.

[Assistant] I guess so. I am badly off and I need this job.

[Assistant] Does it close at that time every day?

[User] Not always.

[Assistant] Is the library open on Saturdays?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] What time do you open and close on Saturday?

[User] The hours are from 9am-6.

[User] I can't wait until my car is repaired. The commuting with public transportation is killing me.

[Assistant] It can't be that bad.

[User] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* But it is! Take this morning for example. The subway was so packed this morning, I got totally squished by about a hundred busy commuters on the way to work.

[Assistant] At least the subway is better than the bus. It's faster for one thing. And usually less crowded. But the drawback is that the subway is more expensive than the bus. It adds up over time, if you take it every day.

[User] That's true. The bus is even worse. Just thinking about taking the bus every day makes me tired! Hey, how do you get to work every day?

[Assistant] I ride my bike. I don't live too far away, so it's pretty convenient. it's only about a ten minute bike ride from my house to the office.

[User] I'll bet it's good exercise, too... a good way to keep fit.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Yes, not only a good way to keep in shape, but a good way to relieve stress as well. While you're stressed out by your commute, I'm releasing all the stress of the day with mine.

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* I didn't like her butting in where I didn't want her. She's a chatter box.

[User] But she means to help you, not to trouble you.

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* I know. But I just can't stand her butting in when I was trying to emphasize a point.

[Assistant] What did he say?

[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* Why?

[User] He said that career in law was unsuitable for a women.

[Assistant] *Fists clench, eyes burning* It is stupid to say so.


[System] We're talking about daily life. Respond like the person the user is conversing with, and feel free to create details to keep the character intact, but remember to stay natural and authentic.

[User] What do you think is harder, reading or writing?

[Assistant] Well, they’re completely different. Reading is passive, and writing is active.

[User] I don’ t think I understand what you mean. Could you explain a little more?

[Assistant] In reading you need to recognize language by seeing the words on the page and knowing what they are. In writing you have to produce language, you have to create your own words on a blank page.

[User] Oh, now I see what you mean. When you’re reading, you are just looking, but when you are writing, you are actually doing something!

[Assistant] A reading knowledge of a language is larger and different from a writing knowledge. Don’t you think so?

[User] I think I see what you mean. I can read Shakespeare but I definitely can’t write it.

[Assistant] Exactly.

[User] So I have another question for you. What do you think is harder, speaking or understanding?

[Assistant] They’re both harder than reading or writing.

[User] In what way?

[Assistant] Because they are direct communication with another person, and there’s a time limit. This time limit is the most serious problem for foreigners, even for those who know lots of English.

[User] You are making me feel really discouraged.

[Assistant] I’m not trying to discourage you. I’m trying to help you. You have to live with these difficulties. Isn’t it better to know about them? The more you know about what you have to face, the better you’ll do. I promise!

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Wow! Is it a good car?

[Assistant] *Arms raised in excitement* It’s a great car. It’s very comfortable and it goes really fast.

[User] Was it expensive?

[User] I'm not sure.

[User] Tomorrow is Christmas and I haven’t bought my mom anything! I’m such a bad son!

[Assistant] Take it easy! Let’s go to the mall, window shop a little and see if there is anything she might like.

[User] That’s just it! I don’t know what to get her! Last year I got her a ring that was two sizes too big and a pair of shoes five sizes too small! I suck at getting presents for people.

[Assistant] That’s where you’re making a big mistake! You can’t just guess peoples’ likes or sizes! Especially with clothes or jewelry. On top of that, I think that you should get your mom something that shows how much you love her. At the same time you should show her that you took the time and effort to look for something that she would really like!

[User] Yeah, you’re right. When it comes down to it, I can be pretty tacky.

[Assistant] *Posture light, bouncy* Yeah, tell me about it. I know! Your mom is trying to learn Spanish, right? Why don’t you get her a gift certificate for this great website I saw called SpanishPod.

[User] I think Beethoven's music is incredible. I've heard that listening to it can make you more intelligent, too. Do you believe that?

[Assistant] I don't know about that, but I do think that it helps people relax.

[User] what other kind of music do you listen to?

[Assistant] actually, I mostly just listen classical music. What about you?

[User] to be honest, I think classical music is too complicated for me.

[Assistant] what kind of music do you prefer then?

[User] I like pop music. Do you?

[Assistant] not really. I don't think pop music has much depth.

[User] I see what you mean. I think that's way I like it so much.

[Assistant] how long have you been in to pop music, then?

[User] I've always been into it. Have you always liked classical music?

[Assistant] not really. When I was little, we didn't really listen to music at all.

[User] so, how did you become interested in it?

[Assistant] well, when I was about 10 years old, I started playing the piano. I think that's how it all started.

[User] do you still play piano?

[Assistant] yes, it's one of my hobbies.

[User] I'm sorry, sir. But this is the self-service pump.

[Assistant] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Self-service?

[User] Yes. You must fill up the car yourself.

[Assistant] *Body freezes, head jerks back* Are you serious?

[User] Yes. Are you traveling here?

[Assistant] Yes, I'm from Taiwan. I never heard of a gas station where you fill up your own car.

[User] In America, most gas stations are like this.

[Assistant] Do I really have to do it? I don't know how.

[User] Well, since this is your first time, I will do it for you.But next time, if you want a full-service gas station, you should look at the sign.

[Assistant] What sign?

[User] Under the sign for the gas station, there will be a smaller sign that says Self-Serve or Full-Service.And some gas stations have both.But if they have both, some pumps will be self-serve and some will be full-serve.You have to look at the signs.

[Assistant] I see.

[User] Millions of amateur investors like you, have to rely on a dizzying array of financial newspapers, magazines and commentators to get investment information.

[Assistant] Yes.It's sometimes scary if you think of the tremendous amount of media we face every day.

[User] It's like information overload, not to mention the reliability of these papers and magazines.

[Assistant] Which financial magazines and newspapers do you think do the best job of checking facts?

[User] Well, for example, The Wall Street Journal is very, very good. Even though it's used on occasion (as all news organizations are) by Ces or bankers who leak their mergers in advance in order to get a positive spin.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* I like to read Fortune.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* Good. Fortune is usually ahead of the curve.And Business Week is very solid, too.

[Assistant] Where does a broadcast company get most of their information? I hope it's not just from press releases.

[User] A good broadcast company usually does far more than press releases.Their people go out and do real reporting, talking to people at the stock exchange, fund managers, analysts, etc.

[User] Did your company go union? I heard that many companies in out industry are being unionized, so It's getting harder and harder to compete on a level playing field.

[Assistant] Yes, we're hopping on the bandwagon and signing up for the union. Mostly people are pretty happy about it... I guess it depends on if you are in management or in the labor force.

[User] Management isn't looking on the labor unions too favorably, I'd guess. I don't blame them... labor unions can really put the squeeze on the executives.

[Assistant] Sure... but it's probably better for the workers, because the union's whole purpose is to look out for the little guys. The only way that the little guys can take on the big bosses is if they unite. Labor unions are all about getting a voice for the underdog.

[Assistant] I think that for a lot of people, it’s just a way to try and show their country is better than other countries.

[User] *Arms raised in excitement* I think the Olympics help to promote world peace.

[Assistant] I’m not sure about that. We still have many wars in the world. I think that the idea behind the Olympics is a good one, but the reality is that during the Olympics countries compete. There’s no real spirit of cooperation and people are usually not very friendly to each other.

[User] You are so pessimistic! The Olympics is a great opportunity for athletes to demonstrate their speed, skill, agility and strength. Most people hope to see someone from their country win, but I think that they are just happy to see good performances by any athlete.

[Assistant] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Well. I think that the most amazing performances are by athletes who participate in the Paralympics.

Last week, I had to call the plumber to fix the toilet. Anyway, all par for the course when you own a house, I guess. I think I am going to hire an interior decorator to look the place over.

[User] I’ Ve studied home decoration as a hobby. Could I make some suggestions?

[Assistant] Go right ahead.

[User] Well, I think a crystal chandelier would look great in your living room, and maybe some new drapes for the windows. Also, a grandfather clock would look great in the den.

[User] But for what reasons? She doesn't even know who I am.

[Assistant] Then you've got a lot of work to do. You need to get her to notice you first.

[User] Easier said than done.

[Assistant] You can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying 'hello' to her.

[User] But I always get tongue-tied when I see her.

[User] So, what did you do out there? I mean besides bask in the sun, obviously.
