Q:  Person1:       How did you get around over there ? Did you rent cars ?  
 Person2:No , that would be too expensive . We used the train system.We bought a special pass called a Enrail pass . It lets people use the train wherever they want , as often as they want .  
 Person1:        I've heard about Enrail passes.So those Europeans really depend on trains a lot .  
 Person2:Yes , they do . I wish we Americans had a better train system .  
 Person1:        I know . Our train system is lousy.And besides , Americans love their cars too much .  
 Person2:I agree . And probably the automobile companies are too powerful.They never allowed the government to develop trains .  
 Person1:        It's too bad for the environment . So much pollution from cars .  
 Person2:Americans love cars for different reasons , I think.One reason is that we are very individualistic.And cars are a very individual way of getting around.Americans like the freedom of driving around by themselves.They don't want to ride in a train or bus with a group of people .  
 Person1:        Yes , I agree . I think it is a cultural characteristic.It would be very hard to get us Americans to change this.But you know what ? Probably , in the future , Americans will have to change .  
 Person2:Why do you say " have to " ?  
 Person1:        Because the earth's environment can't tolerate cars forever . I think cars are already causing global warming.When the problem gets more serious , world governments will have to start limiting car use .  
 Person2:Maybe you're right . They will have to develop alternative transportation.But it will be hard in America . Too many people are used to cars.Even in our movies cars are very important .  
 Person1:        Wow ! I didn't notice the time.It ' s almost noon . I have to get home .  
 Person2:Do you want me to give you a ride ?  
 Person1:        No , no problem . I have my car in the parking ramp around the corner .  
 Person2:Alright.Well , I'll stay here and have another coffee . Nice running into you .  
 Person1:        See you around .

Q:  Person1:       I hear you bought a new house in the northern suburbs . 
 Person2:That ’ s right , we bought it the same day we came on the market . 
 Person1:        What kind of house is it ? 
 Person2:It ’ s a wonderful Spanish style . 
 Person1:        Oh , I love the roof tiles on Spanish style houses . 
 Person2:And it ’ s a bargaining . A house like this in river side costs double the price . 
 Person1:        Great , is it a two bedroom house ? 
 Person2:No , it has three bedrooms and three beds , and has a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling . There ’ s a two-car garage . 
 Person1:        That ’ s a nice area too . It ’ ll be a good investment for you . 
 Person2:Yeas , when will you buy a house ? 
 Person1:        Not untill the end of this year , you know , just before my wedding . 
 Person2:Right , congratulations . 
 Person1:        Thank you .

Q:  Person1:       So , Lauren , I just wanted to talk to you quickly about our new customer support representative , Jason Huntley .  
 Person2:Sure , what ’ s up ?  
 Person1:        Basically , I ’ Ve got a few concerns about him , and the bottom line is , I don ’ t think he ’ s a good fit for our company .  
 Person2:Okay ... what makes you say that ? I thought you were pleased with his overall performance . Didn ’ t you just tell me last week how impressed you were with his attitude ?  
 Person1:        Yeah , his attitude is great , but he ’ s really unreliable.Sometimes he ’ s really productive , but then other times ... take last Tuesday for instance , he was forty-five minutes late for our morning meeting !  
 Person2:Well , I ’ m sure he had a perfectly good reason ...  
 Person1:        But that ’ s not the only thing ... you know , he really doesn ’ t have the best work ethic , I ’ m constantly catching him on MSN and Facebook when he should be talking to clients .  
 Person2:Yeah , but come on , Geoff , as if you don ’ t check Facebook at work . Look , you hired this guy , we ’ Ve invested a lot of time and money in his training , so now it ’ s up to you to coach him . Make it work , Geoff !  
 Person1:        Make it work , Geoff . You would say that , wouldn ’ t you , he is your cousin.what a jerk , make me hire your stupid , useless , cousin .
