Examination
Myself : Hello friend, How do you do?
Friend : I am fine, thank you. Why are you looking so sad?
Myself : Actually I am worried about my final examination. What

about your preparation for the examination?
Friend : Well, I’m going on well with my studies. I am also worried

about my exam.
Myself : But tell me about your preparation in different subjects.
Friend : You know I’m weak in English. That’s why, I’m taking
special care of English. I’m also doing detailed revision for other
subjects.

Myself : Are you taking help from any special books?
Friend : Yes but I study text books very carefully.

money honestly. Well, could you tell me about your choice of career?

not you?

agriculture.
Jamia : Yes, it is right. Please tell me about your plan.

completing my education, I will join the service of agriculture cadre. I
will make research on agriculture.
Jamia : It’s a noble profession too.
Sujon : I’ll teach the farmers about the modern method of cultivation.
Jamia : I appreciate your plan.

plan.
Jamia : Of course. We must do well in the H.S.C Examination, otherwise

we will not be able to become a doctor or an agriculture officer.

A Dialogue Between Two Friends About Tree Plantation

Salman: Hello Hasib. How are you?
Hasib: Fine and what about you?
Salman: I am also fine. Where did you go yesterday? I looked for you.
Hasib: I went to the Tree Fair to buy some saplings. Tree Fair has been
going on for last five days. It will continue for more two days.
Salman: Who has organized this Tree Fair?
Hasib: The Department of Agriculture and Forestry organizes this Tree

Fair every year in all towns and cities on the occasion of Tree Plantation
Week.
Salman: Why do they organise this Tree Fair?
Hasib: It appears strange to me that you are not yet fully aware of the
importance of tree plantation.
Salman: Right you are. Please tell me about the importance of tree
plantation. I want to know about it in detail.

Hasib: Trees are our best friends. Trees give us shade and shelter. We
cannot think of our existence without trees. They are a great source of
our food, vitamins, and furniture.
Salman: But do you notice that many unscrupulous people are cutting
down trees at random? What might be its consequence?
Hasib: If they cut down trees indiscriminately, the country will one day
turn into a desert. The temperature will rise and it will cause
greenhouse effect.
Salman: I think this would not be harmful if people planted more trees
after cutting trees. But they seem to be very indifferent to planting
trees.
Hasib: You are right. To save life and maintain the ecological balance of
the environment, there is no alternative to tree plantation.
Salman: Now I understand why tree plantation is so important. I think

people of all walks of life should come forward to make tree plantation
programme a success.
Hasib: Absolutely, let us make aware our friends and motivate them to
plant trees more and more to make our country a land of greenery.

Nilesh : I am also fine. Where are you going?
Suresh : I am going to the mayor for requesting him to take necessary

steps against environment pollution.
Nilesh : Environment pollution has become a great problem in our life.
Suresh : You are right. Though environment helps us to exist, we don’t

bother about it. We are polluting it indiscriminately.
Nilesh : People are not aware of it. They throw their waste here and
there.
Suresh : Mills and factories are polluting the environment through their
toxic chemicals.

Nilesh : Too much vehicles are polluting the air by smoke and fumes.
Suresh : Super tankers and human wastes are responsible for water
pollution.
Nilesh : Farmers use fertilizers and pesticides for more production. But
these chemicals get mixed with pond and river water.
Suresh : Every day we use million tons of fuel for cooking and other
purposes. These are also responsible for pollution.
Nilesh : But we cannot live without cooking food.
Suresh : You are right. But we should be conscious of it. In most cases,
we are not aware of the importance of environment.
Nilesh : So, what should we do?
Suresh : We should take care of our environment. It’s true that we

cannot stop pollution for good. But we can lessen it.
Nilesh : I agree with you. My friend, I have to go now. Ok, see you later.
Suresh : Bye.

Conversation while buying shoes
Salesman: Sir, how may I help you?
Customer: I’m looking for a pair of leather shoes.
Salesman: What size do you wear?
Customer: Seven.
Salesman: Seven for which brand?
Customer: Does the same size mean different thing for different
brands? It should be standard across all brands, right?
Salesman: For few brands, the same size can mean slightly different
fitting.
Customer: Is it? I thought otherwise. Anyway, I wear size seven of Hush

Puppies, and because I want to buy the same brand it shouldn’t be a
problem.
Salesman: Yes, it won’t be a problem in your case. This section has new
arrivals and this has shoes on sale.
(The customer first glances through the shoes on sale.)
Customer: The variety is far less here. Because I’m buying shoes for at
least few years, I would like to buy something I like. I’ll prefer new
arrivals.
Salesman: Most of the shoes on sale were picked up by customers

within a day of opening of the sale. That’s why you find far less variety
there.
Salesman: Why don’t you try these ones?
Customer: Not these ones. I’m looking for more formal look, the ones
with laces and predominantly plain texture.
Customer: I like this one. Lemme try it.
(The customer puts on the pair and walks few yards.)
Customer: This fit well. I’ll take this one in black. Size seven.
Salesman: Would you like to see socks and shoe polish as well?
Customer: Not polish, but yes socks.
(The customer then walks to the shelves, next to the billing counter,
which held shoe accessories.)
Customer: Do you sell socks only in combo of three?
Salesman: We sell by pair as well. Here they are.
Customer: OK. I’ll take these two pairs.
Salesman: Anything else, sir?
Customer: No, thanks.
Salesman: I’ll get the billing done, then.
Customer: Sure.

Salesman: You’ll find 39” shirts on these shelves.

Customer: Can you take out this, this, this and this one? I want the ones
without cufflinks.
Salesman: None of these are with cufflinks.
(The salesman takes the four shirts out and unpacks them on the waist-
high table between him and the customer.)
Customer: I like the plain, light shades in pink and blue.
Salesman: These are nice shirts. They would go well with dark trousers,
especially those in shades of blue and black. You can take a look at
trousers as well before you try all of them together.
(They then proceed to trousers section on the same floor.)
Customer: Can you show me trousers in 32” waist size?
Salesman: These shelves are 32”.
Customer: Can you take this and this out?

(The salesman takes the two trousers out and spreads them on the
table. The customer spends few minutes feeling them and then selects
one.)
Customer: Where is the trial room?
Salesman: That side.
(The customer tries the shirts and the trousers and comes back.)
Customer: I’ll take the two shirts and the blue trousers.
Salesman: OK sir. We can now move to the ground floor for the casual
shirt.
(They come down to the ground floor and move to the section for
casual shirts.)
Customer: Show me the new arrivals.
Salesman: You’ll like this. When you roll your sleeves up with this shirt
on, the cloth underneath provides a contrasting color and pattern.

Customer: I like this one. Lemme try this one out.
(The customer tries the casual shirt and comes back.)
Customer: OK. Please pack this one as well. Now, I’ve two formal shirts,
one trousers, and one casual shirt.
Salesman: Would you want to see tie, belt, or shoes?
Customer: Not now. Thanks.
Salesman: No problem, sir. Our tailor can take the measurement for the
length of your trousers and would stitch the bottom accordingly. In the
meantime, I’ll get your bill ready.

Customer: How much are bananas for?
Shopkeeper: Rupees 60/- a dozen.
Customer: That’s exorbitant. And tomatoes and papaya?
Shopkeeper: Rupees 50/- a kg for tomatoes and rupees 60 a kg for

papaya.
Customer: Your prices are so high. Last week, I bought these items for a
better price.
Shopkeeper: Madam, what I’ve quoted is current market rate. Prices

have gone up this week because of less supply coming to the wholesale
market.
Customer: But then how come the other shopkeeper is offering better
price.

Shopkeeper: That’s because he often mixes yesterday’s stock with the
new. We sell only fresh vegetables and fruits.
Customer: I know how much fresh you sell. All say the same thing. But
you got to offer me some discount as I’ll buy stuff worth at least 300.
Shopkeeper: I’ll try my best. What else do you want me to weigh?
(The customer goes on to mention more vegetables and fruits and the
shopkeeper weighs them and stuffs them in the customer’s bag.)
Customer: So the total is 380. I think you should charge 340.
Shopkeeper: No, that’s too low. Give me 360.
Customer: The discount of rupees 20/- is just 5 percent off. Not much.
Give me at least 10 percent.
Shopkeeper: Sorry madam, if I offer such discount I’ll hardly make

anything for myself. I also have to run my household. 360 is my last
offer.
Customer: OK, but I’m not happy.

Shopkeeper: Madam, you should think of our livelihood as well.

Patient: Yes doctor. I’m running a temperature and have a sore throat.
Doctor: Lemme see.
(He touches the forehead to feel the temperature.)
Doctor: You’ve moderate fever.
(He then whips out a thermometer.)
Patient: This thermometer is very different from the one you used the
last time. (Unlike the earlier one which was placed below the tongue,
this one snapped around one of the fingers.)

Doctor: Yes, this is a new introduction by medical equipment
companies. It’s much more convenient, as it doesn’t require cleaning
after every use.
Patient: That’s awesome.
Doctor: Yes, it is.
(He removes the thermometer and looks at the reading.)
Doctor: Not too high – 99.8.
(He then proceeds with measuring blood pressure.)
Doctor: Your blood pressure is fine.
(He then checks the throat.)
Doctor: It looks bit scruffy. Not good.
Patient: Yes, it has been quite bad.
Doctor: Do you get sweating and shivering?

Patient: Not sweating, but I feel somewhat cold when I sit under a fan.
Doctor: OK. You’ve few symptoms of malaria. I would suggest you

undergo blood test. Nothing to worry about. In most cases, the test
come out to be negative. It’s just precautionary, as there have been
spurt in malaria cases in the last month or so.
(He then proceeds to write the prescription.)
Doctor: I’m prescribing three medicines and a syrup. The number of

dots in front of each tells you how many times in the day you’ve to take

sinus infection, and not the regular one that results from anxiety and
fatigue. Lemme check.

your headache. I’ll prescribe an antibiotic to clear the infection and a
pain reliever to relieve the pain.
Patient: Thank you, doctor.

Patient: I’ve stomach ache and loose motions since last night. I also
vomited few times in the night.
Doctor: What did you eat yesterday?
Patient: I ate some snacks on the roadside eatery. It’s likely a result of
that.
Doctor: Likely you ate contaminated food. Because of diarrhea, you’ve

lost plenty of body fluids. You need to be hydrated. Drink water
regularly. Mix some Glucon-D powder or Electral in it. Fruit juice is fine
too. Avoid caffeine, dairy products, and solid foods at least till evening.
And get plenty of rest.
Patient: Any medicines, doctor.
Doctor: Yes, I’m prescribing few to control diarrhea.


CONVERSATION- 18
Conversation with an oncologist on cancer
In this conversation, the patient’s family member (attendant) talks to

the doctor.
Doctor: So, what brings you here?
Attendant: Doctor, my father has been diagnosed with abnormal

growth of cells in colon, which doctors so far have confirmed as a case
of cancer.
Doctor: What tests have you conducted?
Attendant: On the advice of doctors in Lucknow, we conducted blood

tests, CT scan, and biopsy. We’ve taken three opinions on the reports
and all have opined colorectal cancer. Here are the reports.
(The doctor goes through the reports.)
Doctor: Yes, this looks cancerous. What we’ll do is admit him today
itself and get few tests done. And let’s meet tomorrow morning when
you’ve the reports of these tests.
Attendant: OK. Thank you.
(The doctor writes his observations on his letterhead and hands it over
to the attendant. The attendant then gets the patient admitted and
visits the doctor again the next morning with new reports in hand.)
Doctor: The cancer is just one stage before it’ll spread to other parts. In
this case, the best course of action is immediate surgery to remove the
affected part followed by radiation therapy.
Attendant: How many days of hospitalization will be required?
Doctor: We can perform the surgery day after tomorrow. Thereafter,

we’ll keep the patient under observation for 4-5 days. Radiation
therapy has become pretty standardized and therefore you can get it
done in any tier-2 city, which will not only be convenient to you but
also reduce your expense.
Attendant: And for how long the patient will have to undergo radiation
therapy?
Doctor: One dose every two weeks for three months. You need to visit
the hospital only on days you receive therapy. Once radiation therapy is
done, you should consult an oncologist every three months in the

beginning and every year later on to check for remission of cancerous
cells.
Attendant: OK. I’ve heard radiation therapy has side effects.
Doctor: Yes, radiation therapy has side effects. It can lead to hair loss,
nausea, and loss of appetite.
Attendant: Thank you doctor. We’ll get him admitted today.

CONVERSATION- 19
Conversation with an eye specialist in a hospital
This conversation involves not just the doctor, but also people
conducting different tests and those at reception and billing desks in
the hospital.
Support: Good Morning sir. How may I help you?
Patient: Good morning. I had an appointment with the doctor at 9 AM.
Support: Have you registered with us earlier?
Patient: Yes.
Support: Please show me your registration card. Or I can search for

your details through your mobile number.
Patient: That would be better. My mobile number is 989930xxx.
(She searches for the patient’s past records on her computer.)

Support: OK, I’ve found your details. You last visited us in August 2021.
Patient: That’s right.
Support: You can pay the doctor consultation fee here.
Patient: Sure. Here is my card.
(She swipes the card and hands over the invoice to the patient.)
Support: Pl take a seat, and feel free to help yourself with water,
newspapers etc.
Patient: Thank you.
(After 15-odd minutes, the attendant calls the patient’s name, following
which the patient proceeds to the doctor’s cabin.)
Patient: Good morning doctor.
Doctor: Good morning. How’re you doing today?

Patient: I’m fine. Thank you. How about you?
Doctor: I’m good. So, what brings you here?
Patient: I’ve come for a regular checkup for a suspected case of

glaucoma. I don’t have it, but few years back a doctor after examining
my eye and knowing my family eye history advised me to undergo
precautionary checkup once a year.
(He puts the past reports on the table. The doctor peruses them.)
Doctor: I see that your optic nerve is thicker than the normal. That’s
probably the reason why you were asked to undergo precautionary
tests every year. You can have the same two tests – visual field analysis
and OCT – today and once you’ve the two reports, we can meet again
in the afternoon.
Patient: Alright.
(The doctor scribbles the names of the two tests on his letterhead and
pushes it across the table.)

(The patient leaves the doctor’s cabin and again approaches the
reception desk.)
Patient: I saw the doctor. He has asked for these two tests.
(He pushes the prescription towards the billing lady.)
Support: OK. The two tests will cost you xxx and you’ll get the reports in
around two hours. Is that fine?
Patient: That’s fine.
(He slips his card toward her. She swipes it again and hands over the
invoice a second time.)
Support: Please be seated there. Someone will call you for the first test
in few minutes.
Patient: Thank you.
(Over the next two hours, he undergoes the two tests and receives the
reports. Thereafter, he meets the doctor again, this time with reports.)

Doctor: I hope you had a smooth experience going through those tests.
Patient: Yes, it was. And because I’ve taken these tests in the past too, I
knew what was coming.
(The patient pushes the reports toward the doctor. The doctor pores
through the pages, looking at the colored images of the eye minutely.)
Doctor: Your reports are absolutely fine. Since these reports haven’t
shown anything suspect in so many years, I think you can now take
these tests once in two years, and not once a year.
Patient: OK.
Doctor: Well, that puts glaucoma thing to rest. Does your work involve
working on laptop for long hours?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: In case your eyes get tired quickly, I would recommend xxx. It’s
an eye drop, which you can use 2-3 times in the day. Our eyes get dry
when we look at the computer screen without blinking for long, a
common reason for tiredness in eyes. This eye drop will lubricate your
eyes.

Doctor: Do you’ve any other questions?
Patient: Yes. I see few thin, black, wavy structures floating in front of
my eyes and they don’t disappear even when I close my eyes. What are
they? Are they harmful?
Doctor: They’re called floaters, and most persons develop them to

different extent as they age. They’re not harmful.
Patient: Thank you doctor. Thanks for your time.
Doctor: You’re welcome.

hospital there!
A: I'll run ahead and ask the bus driver to wait for you. You certainly
can't keep up with me if you carry the dog.
F: Good idea! We can hang around while the doctor fixes his leg, and
then well try to find the owner.
A: Okay. Let's go!

A dialogue between two friends regarding a visit to a London
Asad: Hello, Qamar! I haven't seen you for ages.

Qamar: Been out of the country for a few months.
Asad: Really? Where, to the gulf?
Qamar: No. My wife and I have to the UK to see our grandson.
Asad: I'm sure you've had a very enjoyable time. How long were you
there?
Qamar: Exactly six months.
Asad: Where in the UK were you?
Qamar: We were in London.
Asad: Which part of London?
Qamar: East Ham.
Asad: Oh, East Ham. I've some friends there.
Qamar: Yes, there are a lot of Indians at East Ham.
Asad: You know our Zahid. His sister and family are there.
Qamar: Yes, I once met them on the underground.
Asad: Underground?
Qamar: Yes, you call it London underground or tube. You can travel all
over London by the underground trains.

Asad: Oh, I see. I hear transport is expensive there.
Qamar: Yes, it is, especially taxis.
Asad: Was it easy to get a visa to the UK? I hear it isn't so easy.
Qamar: Well, it wasn't very difficult for us.
Asad: Where did you get it from? Mumbai?
Qamar: No, from the British High Commission in New Delhi.
Asad: Was it a long process?
Qamar: Yes and no. First, you've to get a sponsor's letter from London.
Then you should be in possession of a round trip air ticket. Our son sent
them to us. He sent a pre-paid ticket advice to the airlines and the
ticket was issued to us. Besides the passports, sponsor's letter and the
air tickets, we had to produce some documents to show that we have
some assets here and also close relatives.
Asad: What's that for?
Qamar: That's to convince the British authorities that we are definitely
coming back. They would make sure that we didn't intend to look for a
job or settle there once we reached there.
Asad: Em...I'm sure they must have asked you quite a lot of questions at
the high Commission's office.
Qamar: Oh, yes, they did. And once you get the visa stamped in your
passport, it's valid for six months.
Asad: You mean you have to use it within six months.
Qamar: Exactly. On landing at Heathrow Airport you are given a six
months' visa from the date of entry.
Asad: You had to pay for the visa.

Qamar: Certainly. You make the payment in rupees before obtaining it.
The amount depends on the duration of your stay.
Asad: How much did you pay for six months?
Qamar: We had to pay Rs.70000@Rs.40000 for each of us.
Asad: Did you board from New Delhi?
Qamar: No, we embarked from Mumbai.
Asad: Was it a direct flight?
Qamar: No, we flew via Muscat and Bahrain. There are direct flights but
they are more expensive.
Asad: Did you have to spend a lot of time in transit in Muscat and
Bahrain?
Qamar: Not much. Though we landed in Muscat, we didn't need to
change the plane and the same plane took us to Bahrain.
Asad: Did you need to change the plane Bahrain?
Qamar: Yes, we had to. We spend about two hours at the airport.
Asad: Which airways did you fly by?
Qamar: Qatar Airways.
Asad: How was the flight and service?
Qamar: Fantastic! Though it was a long flight, the food and service
made every minute of the flight enjoyable. The cuisine was excellent.
Soft drinks and food were served free. Most of the time the passengers
were eating and drinking and watching video film.
Asad: How long did you take to reach London?

Qamar: We took off from Mumbai at 8 a.m. IST and landed in London at
5.45 p.m. London time on the same day.
Asad: How many hours behind in London time?
Qamar: It is five & half hours behind Indian Standard Time. I think the
flying time was around 14 hours and the remaining time was spent at
Muscat and Bahrain airports.
Asad: Was your son at the airport to receive you?
Qamar: Yes, my son and daughter-in-law were there.
Asad: Have you ever been to London before?
Qamar: No, that was the first time.
Asad: What's your impression about English people?
Qamar: They are very reserved. They mind their own business and are
not at all nosey. London is a beautiful place, unique for its architectural
beauty. It is not a city of sky-scrapers. There are very tall buildings in
the city but mostly it is a city of two, three or four storeyed buildings
and all buildings in a street are similar in certain respects. That's its
specialty.
Asad: I thought it was a city of tall buildings and a maze of flyovers like
some of those in the States.
Qamar: Not at all. Most of the streets in residential areas are lined with
houses of same plan on both sides. They are painted alike and look like
iced cakes displayed in a bakery. Cars of infinite variety and shades
parked in straight lines on either side of the road add luster to the sight.
Asad: How are the roads and pavements?
Qamar: The roads are very wide with dividers, median lines and all sorts
of road signs well displayed. Zebra crossings, bus stops and other areas
are marked in appropriate colors. Absence of pot-holes is a specialty.
Pavements are asphalted or paved with concrete slabs.
Asad: How nice! I wish our roads would be like them one day. What
about the cleanliness of the roads?
Qamar: Their civic sense is very high. Everywhere on the road you can
find litter bins and all waste materials are thrown into them. But in
same areas the roads are not very clean.
Asad: How is the garbage from houses disposed of?
Qamar: Every house is supplied with supplied with a plastic garbage can
with casters fixed at the bottom. Once a week the garbage is collected
by the Council van. The can is wheeled on to the pavement in front of
the gate and left there by the residents. When the can is hooked to the
truck by the workers, it is raised and the rubbish is tipped inside. The
garbage is collected without fail on a particular day.
Asad: I wish our municipalities would emulate this system.
Qamar: Why blame only the authorities? We are only good at blaming
each other.
Asad: We'll take ages to reach that high level of civic sense.
Qamar: One other thing is that all pavements slope down to the road at
road junctions and strategic points so that the trolleys, prams, push
chairs and auto-chairs on the pavement can move across the roads very
easily. You can carry your baby all over the city in a pram, pushing it
along. Old people drive auto-chairs along the pavement at walking
speed. All the shops are at pavement level and you can drive your auto-
chair into a shop, do your shopping and come out. Using an auto-chair,
very old people and invalids go about without from others. Very old
people who can walk make use of trolleys. They put all their purchases

in the trolley and pull or push it along. They don't have to carry any
weight.
Asad: How wonderful!
Qamar: Another unique thing I've noticed is that people from into a
queue at all counters, at the post office, bank, shop and the queue and
make hubbub.
Asad: I think it is the attitude of people of others, life and situations
that tend to make them behave in a particular way. I wish I could visit
London once. Well, I'm afraid it's getting late, and I have a long way to
go.
Qamar: Yes, I'd better be going, too. Bye.

A dialogue between two friends about catch fish
Aqib: Hamid, tomorrow I'm coming to your house to see how you catch
fish. Where do you live?
Hamid: I live very near the seashore. you come by No. 5 Bus and get
down at the terminus. I'll wait for you there.
Aqib: I'll be arriving by the first bus. pleas wait for me at the bus stop.
Will you be catching fish tomorrow?
Hamid: Yes, because the weather is favorable. The sea is calm now.
Aqib: How do you catch fish?
Hamid: My father has bought a big nylon net.
Aqib: Is it very expensive?
Hamid: Yes, it cost about Rs. 5ooo.
Aqib: Oh, that's too much money. How many people do you require to
catch fish with that net?
Hamid: At least six.
Aqib: What do they do?
Hamid: One end of the net is held by the people on the shore. Then
two people carry the net and go into the water casting the net in a
semi-circle and get back to the shore.
Aqib: How far into the sea do they go?

Hamid: They go into about shoulder deep water. The floats can be seen
on the surface of the water in a semi-circle. The weights rest on the
sand leaving the net in an almost vertical Position.
Aqib: Once the net is cast, I think it is pulled to the shore.
Hamid: That's tough job and for that more people are required, at least
three people on either side
Aqib: So all the fish within that semi-circle will be caught in the net.
Hamid: Yes. Sometimes we catch a lot of fish. At other times it may be
disappointing.
Aqib: What do you do with all your catch?
Hamid: We divide the catch into seven shares, six people and the
seventh is for the owner of the net. If we joint them in catching fish, we
get two shares.
Aqib: If they take the net and catch fish, they bring one share for you.
Hamid: That's right.
Aqib: What do you when you have an abundance of fish?
Hamid: It is sold in the market. The amount received also is divided in
the same way.
Aqib: The owner of the net gets a share.
Hamid: Yes, so that the money spent on buying the net is made up.
Aqib: Will you be able to get it back in year?
Hamid: May not be in a year, but certainly in two years' time.
Aqib: That's not bad. Everybody gets fish and also some money.
Anyway, I can see it tomorrow. I have been catching fish with a fishing
rod and line. Don't you ever do that?
Hamid: Some of my friends who have no net catch fish with a rod. They
go to the rock near the shore and catch fish.
Aqib: But then you need a lot of luck to get a fish. You Put the bait on
the hook and have to wait for the fish to swallow it, don't you?
Hamid: They know the Places where there are a lot of fish. The only
problem is that you have to patiently sit hours together with a rod.
Aqib: Yes, but then angling is a hobby and time passes quickly when you
get a fish once in a way. I wish my house were near the seashore.
Hamid: If you like catching fish, at least during the holidays you can
come to the seashore with a rod and a line. It is not difficult to make
one, if you can't buy one. I can also join you once in a way.
Aqib: Any way let me join you tomorrow. So, make sure you are at the
bus stop at 6.a.m.
Hamid: Don't worry about that. I'll be there, but don't oversleep and
miss the first bus. See you tomorrow.
Aqib: Bye.

A dialogue between two friends about importance of sanitation and

hygiene
Sachin: Hello, good evening.

Hardik: Good evening, Sachin. How are you?
S: Very fine. Thank you and how are you?
H: Not too bad. But I'm a little upset.
S: Why, what's worrying you?
H: I'm coming from the bakery. I was very annoyed with the salesman
there. I wanted some mixture and the fellow put his hand into the jar
and started talking it out with his bare hand.
S: The other day I had the same experience at another bakery. Then I
had to give him a piece of my mind. I wonder why in the bakery and in
such places, food is not taken with a big spoon.
H: The problem is that they are used to doing things like that. They
don't know that their hands are or could be dirty. Most customers don't
complain and don't even know how unhygienic it is to use hands to take
food.
S: People like us should tell them to use a spoon instead of their hands.
H: What about the health inspectors? Don't they see such things when
they go to a bakery?

S: These health inspectors should also insist on the waiters using a pair
of tongs to take at snack-bars or delicatessens.
H: One is filled with nausea at the sight of somebody serving you food
with his hand. It is high time people were enlightened on such matters.
S: We have progressed in fashion and risen to affluence but not in
matters of sanitation and hygiene.
H: Even in star hotels you wouldn't dare to go to the kitchen, would
you? In ordinary hotels you well seek cooks and workers, all bare
bodies with hair in the armpit and all over, wrapped below the waist
with just a towel and sweat streaming down their faces and bodies.
S: That's the dress of some waiters in some of our hotels when they
serve food. It is the health inspectors' responsibility to see that waiters
are properly dressed.
H: Have you ever bought some tablets or capsules from a pharmacy?
Invariably they are counted with bare hands. Don't they know that
hands sweat? What they should they is to put them in a plastic plate or
something like that and count with a plastic spoon or spatula.
S: I always tell them not to count with their hands. At first, they look at
me as if I am a man from the moon. But I don't Care and insist on their
doing it. Naturally they start counting them with a spoon.
H: there is no harm in others understanding what is right and what is
wrong. haven't you seen people wrapping bread and other snacks in old
newspaper? Do they think these old papers are neat and clean?
S: Imagine how many people might have used them? They might have
been left in all kinds of dirty places before they are used as wrappers.

H: It doesn't matter if they are used to wrap food items that are going
to be cooked. Just because we take a both every morning and wear
clean clothes, we are not hygiene. Are we?
S: In hotels I have seen even decently dressed people throwing bones
and other things on the table are on the floor under the table. The
place starts stinking in no time. Can't they be supplied with bone plates
on every table and made to use them?
H: Spitting in public places in another health hazard. Some people chew
betel leaves and spit all over and even from moving vehicles.
S: No any amount of laws can stop all this. The best things to do is to
start teaching children in primary schools how to be hygiene. We
should develop in our little ones a high sense of hygiene and sanitation.
Hygiene should become a habit with people.
H: I wonder when the educationalists and politicians in power will
realize the importance of all these things. But they are more interested
in other things. But they are more interested in other things. Writing
letters to the editors of newspaper only invites counter arguments.
That is my experience.
S: You can't blame the authorities. for not talking proper action against
the culprits. People should help themselves. These norms can't be
imposed on others, they should be imbibed.
H: That reminds me of something I have always had in my mind, Sachin,
when somebody is seriously ill, we can an ambulance, don't we? What
happens when someone dies? The same ambulance is used to carry the
dead body. Is that fair?
S: You are right. People die of various diseases. Even if the ambulance is
disinfected, the sick person shudders to think that only the previous

day a dead person has been taken in the same stretcher. Why can't
hearse be kept to carry the dead?
H: Though it will be expensive, it can't be avoided. It is something
indispensable. The municipal authorities should find the money to
provide a hearse to the public.
S: Let's hope it will be done in due course. Good night.
H: Good night.

A dialogue between two friends about wealth and health
Ishan: Let's solve a puzzle.

Sahil: Health is necessary for us or wealth?
I: Health!
S: Why?
I: Every healthy person can earn wealth.
S: No, wealth is a gift of God. It can't be attained by struggle. The
system of the world is maintained by it. For example, you cannot travel
without money. You cannot take proper food without it. Even death
needs money. You cannot bury your dead without the blessing of
wealth.
I: Yes, you are right but health is a blessing of God. Everybody in this
materialistic world has a great wish to get wealth. But it is due to good
health. The rich become victim of many diseases like unfitness and
diabetic etc. But healthy man keeps his body fit. A moving body
remains warm and healthy. The rich do not like to go out without
vehicle. This laziness makes the man idle. Idle nations have been ruined
in the world like Mughal Kingdom etc. The rich give importance to
wealth instead of health.
S: Have you ever heard a healthy man singing?
I: Yes.
S: Which thing has made him sing?
I: Happiness.
S: Which thing has made him happy?
I: It is due to health.
S: We all should pray to God first for health and then for wealth.

O: No, no, not even think like this.
Y: Are you satisfied with this job.
O: I am not satisfied, but I am not dissatisfied.

Y: What do you mean? isn't it paltering?
O: Actually, the thing is, one has to compromise with the
circumstances.
Y: How can one? when everybody goes on snubbing you.
O: I do understand you, but with the passage of time one becomes used
to.
Y: Thanks for encouraging me a bit.
O: No, no, it's just O.K. I can help you practically too.
Y: You are really great.

Mother: Son, I'm happy you have a good job now. When have you got
the report of work?
Son: Mum, you should be delighted. Not only a good job, I'll be
provided with furnished rent-free quarters. Electricity and water
charges will be paid by the company and above all I'll be given a
chauffeur-driven car. I know the house is in quite a good neighborhood.
Mother: But son, you don't know anything about cooking and how are
you going to survive?
Son: Oh, mother, how do you think all bachelors live? I'll live the same
way, if not better. I'll live the same way, If not better. I'll have jam
butter, bread, bananas and eggs for breakfast. Mostly I'll be eating
lunch outside. Why don't you teach me how to prepare one or two
curries? Mum, can you show me how to make an omelet now?
Mother: I'll be glad to. Come, come to the kitchen.
Son: All right, mum.
Mother: Today I'll teach you how to make an omelet and you'll make it
for breakfast tomorrow.
Son: Ok, mum.
Mother: Now watch carefully. First the eggs are broken into a bowl. You
need only two eggs. They are beaten to a forth with a fork or an egg
beater. Then a small onion and half a green chili are cut into small

pieces like this. They are added to the beaten egg. If you don't like
green chilies, you can use pepper. Don't forget to add a pinch of salt.
Son: Shall I put the fry pan on the stove?
Mother: Yes, put it on the stove and light it.
Son: What next?
Mother: It is hot now. Put a teaspoonful of ghee. That's it.

this spatula to the other side. When both sides are cooked, the omelet
is ready.

omelet.
Mother: But don't eat too many eggs. I know how much you like them.
Son: No, mother, I'll be careful. when are you going to show me how to
make chicken curry?
Mother: I know that's your favorite dish. I'll show you how to cook
chicken tomorrow. But it is not so simple as making an omelet. Now
that readymade masala is available, it is not difficult either.
Son: Ok, tomorrow. Thank you.

A dialogue between two friends after coming back from a party
Bablu: What a strain!

Shashi: Oh, it's good to sit down after all that standing.
B: I could just sit here forever and ever and never get up.
S: I don't think I've ever felt so totally drained in my life. All that
embarrassing talk and the drink and the cigarette smoke.
B: And the heat. I didn't sleep very well last night either!
S: We should've gone to bed earlier.
B: But it's funny we should feel so exhausted. After all, we've only been
to a party.
S: But what a party. I've never felt so foolish in my life.
B: We must be getting old.
S: I feel if I moved, my bones would break. And the soles of my feet!
B: I haven't felt so washed out for ages.
S: Perhaps there's something wrong with us. There may've been
something in the drink.
B: I hope not. The party was bad enough without that.
S: Perhaps everyone at Mahira's is now stretched out on the floor.

B: It won't do, we must pull ourselves together. Come on! One, two,
three up! You see at least I can stand on my feet just. Come on Shashi!
Activity will make you feel better.
S: Oh, sit down. Don't be so hearty. You don't know how to relax.
B: I'll go and make some sandwiches and coffee. We're probably just
hungry, without knowing it.
S: Go and do what you like as long as you leave me in peace.
B: All right. I must make an effort.
S: Solitude at last!
B: Good God!
S: What is it?
B: Don’t you know? It's incredible.
S: What?
B: There's a girl with a flowered frock and long hair asleep on the floor
in here. She's got a guitar.
S: Go on with you. You must be dreaming.
B: No.. Really.
S: That's all we need. Life is really too much for me. Bye
B: O.K. See you. Bye!
