(Text 1)
M: Darling, why are you so worried?
W: Oh, I just talked to our daughter Susan’s teacher. She told me that Susan often doesn’t finish her
homework, and when she does, well, the quality is often very poor.
(Text 2)
W: Excuse me. Could you help me find The Sun Also Rises, a novel by Ernest Hemingway?
M: Why don’t you search for it on the computer over there? It’s much easier than look ing through the
titles on the shelves.
(Text 3)
M: All the food smells so tasty today! What’s on the menu?
W: Well … fish, pork, chicken, vegetables … and noodles. I’d rather have some beef.
M: I think I’ll have the fried fish. I love fried fish.
(Text 4)
W: I’ve found a new job in Manhattan, and I’m moving there.
M: Congratulations! So didn’t you like your job here?
W: My old job paid too little, and it was too easy for me.
M: I’m glad you found a better job. You really deserve it!
(Text 5)
W: Welcome back. How was the train ride?
M: Well, it was a sixteen-hour trip. I forgot to take my book and there was nothing to do on the train.
W: Why didn’t you watch a movie on your iPad?
M: It broke last week.
(Text 6)
W: Whew! Thanks for stopping. Sometimes it can be impossible to get a cab in the rain.
M: No worries. Where to?
W: I’m going to Fifth Avenue and East 22nd Street. No rush at all, though.
M: Well, that’s good because it looks like we’re not going to be able to move more than a few feet per
minute!
W: Well, that’s what happens when it starts to rain during rush hour. I’m one of the lucky ones.
Usually, I would have an appointment around this time, but today I get to go home early!
M: That’s great, ma’am. I’ll try to get you home as early as possible.
(Text 7)
W: Good afternoon. Do you know where the subway station is?
M: It’s down the street, about two blocks away.
W: I’ve never been to this city before, so I’m not familiar with the city. Can I find it easily?
M: I think so. Just walk down the street for about five minutes and you’ll see a sign for it right in
front of a post office. Keep walking for about ten minutes and you’ll be at the subway station. So
are you here to visit friends or for business?
W: Actually, I’m with two friends to go sightseeing. We got separated while we were shopping in the
mall, so they went to the train station and are now waiting for me there.
M: Well, I hope you have a good time here in the city.
W: Thanks.
(Text 8)
W: Can I help you?
M: Oh, I’m just looking, thanks. Well, actually, I’m looking for something for my sister.
W: And what exactly are you looking for?
M: I don’t really know. A dress?
W: Right. Well, what color does your sister usually wear?
M: Well …
W: Okay, what color are her eyes?
M: Green.
W: OK, purple usually suits people with green eyes.
M: Oh, great, purple’s fine.
W: Now, what size is she?
M: Um, well … she isn’t very big, but she’s not particularly thin, either.
W: That’ll be a medium, then. Well, we have this rather nice silk evening dress here …
M: Good, I’ll take it. How much is it?
W: $70, sir. How would you like to pay?
M: Seventy dollars? Uh, by credit card, please.
W: Fine. If you could just sign …
M: Here you are. Goodbye.
W: Just a minute, sir. Here’s your receipt.
M: Oh yes. Um, can she exchange it if it doesn’t fit her?
W: Yes, but she needs to bring in the receipt.
(Text 9)
W: Have you been watching the Euro 2012 football tournament?
M: Just a bit. Have you?
W: Of course! I’ve really started to like football since I came to London. Just think, a year ago, I was
still in Montreal and didn’t know a thing about it.
M: Well, I’m from New Jersey. Americans aren’t so into football either. Actually, we call it soccer.
When Americans say “football”, what we mean is American rules football. I’ve been here two years
now, and I still get confused when people call soccer “football”.
W: Oh, that’s right. For you Americans, “football” means the sport where those big guys wear helmets
and violently run into each other.
M: Yeah. Americans prefer watching sports that are fast, like basketball. I think basketball players
are some of the greatest athletes on earth. What they can do just amazes me. But when I watch a
soccer match, I just get bored. There aren’t enough goals.
W: Well, I see what you’re saying, but there’s so much more to “soccer”, as you call it, than goals.
There are a lot of strategies involved, and in a tournament like Euro 2012, it’s fascinating to see
 how the different countries have different styles of playing.

Good morning, everyone. My name is Helen Green. I’d like to share something with you about my
experiences with jobs. Last year I worked as a secretary to the general manager of a large company in
our town. I was happy and quite satisfied with my job. Then suddenly our company was hit by
economic troubles. Most of the employees knew nothing about it until one day we were told that we
had to leave. I was very sad and worried, but I soon overcame the shock. I had worked for many
years and I knew how to do my job well. I felt quite confident that I would have little difficulty in
quickly finding a similar position with another company before long. But when I applied for several
jobs, I was told that I was too experienced and they couldn’t pay me the same high salary that I had
earned before. I had been out of a job for almost two months, when one evening I saw a small
advertisement in the newspaper looking for a shopkeeper. I realized that I had no choice but to
accept what was available. However, I’m not unhappy at my present job because I’m still working.
What about you? Are you satisfied with your jobs?
