1. W: John, is Mark coming for tea tomorrow?
M: Yes, I told you yesterday, Tracy.
W: Oh, did you? Sorry, I must have forgotten.
2. W: What’s the hurry? We’d like you to stay for dinner.
M: Well, thank you, but Helen and I have to meet my parents at the railway station.
3. W: Hi, Tom. We have to start the meeting without you.
M: I know. My flight was delayed because of the heavy rain.
W: But you are just in time for the discussion.
4. M: How much are these shoes?
W: Oh, they are 35 dollars a pair.
M: Do you have Size 9.
W: I’m afraid they are sold out.
5. M: Hi, I’m thinking of taking a trip during the Christmas holidays.
W: Where would you like to go?
M: Well, maybe somewhere warm and sunny.
W: How about a tour to Southeast Asia?
6. M: Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s welcome Jane Carter. Jane, you are so young. How can you sing so well?
W: Well, Mr. Green. I like singing very much. And I’ve been doing this for a while, above all I have Mr James as my teacher.
M: No wonder. I believe you’ll do a wonderful job tonight. Now ladies and gentlemen, Jane Carter.
7. W: Happy birthday, Jimmy. Are you ready for the next present?
M: You mean there’s more besides the watch?
W: Come with us. It’s in the car. Now, here we are. You’ve been talking about this for months.

9. M: Hi, Lily, how’s your new flat?
W: It’s great. I really like it.
M: How big is it?
W: It’s one big room, but it has a bathroom and a small kitchen, too.
M: How far is it from the office.
W: It’s only about 10 minutes.
M: 10 minutes by bus or by car?
W: On foot. I walked to work this morning. I was 10 minutes early.
M: You are lucky. I was 10 minutes late.
W: What happened
M: All the buses came late.
W: What did Susan say?
M: She was late too.
W: What happened to her?
M: She took the train, and it was late too.
W: Well then you’re really lucky after all. But what are you going to do tomorrow.
M: I’ll start 15 minutes earlier.
M: Good afternoon, everybody and welcome to this class on English words. I hope that all of you can hear me. If not, please let me know. I am Pref. John Morris. I’ll be your teacher for the next 13 weeks. As you can probably tell, this is one of popular and crowded classes. Indeed, every time these courses are offered, this room is very full. Why is that? Well, in order to use the English language, it’s very important to have at least a basic understanding of how words are formed. Just to mention one figure, and there are many. There are about one million words in English. If you are an English learner, you might wonder how you can possibly remember all of these words. Well, for one thing you don’t have to. No native speaker exists who knows all of the words in the English language. Besides there are shortcuts. Shortcuts? Yes, for example, if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other languages, such Greek and French, you’ll understand a good number of English words when you first come across them. Let me put it this way. Knowing the rules will help you master a large number of words. This is probably the No. 1 reason why this class is so popular.

M: I think it’s going to rain.
W: I guess so. The skies are dark and cloudy.
(Text 2)
M: Lucy is going back to China next month, Alice.
W: Oh, really?
M: And she will not meet Richer this time.
(Text 3)
W: I hate to say it. But Jacky isn’t doing well in the film.
M: Well. I think he’s only playing a different type of role. My sister thinks he is still the best.
(Text 4)
M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper?
W: Sure. Come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340.
(Text 5)
W: OK. Time to go home.
M: I can’t. I haven’t finished the report about the newly opened restaurant.
W: Well. If you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill.
(Text 6)
M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?
W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew.
M: That’s great! How old is he?
W: Well. He was five months old when I got there. And he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.
M: What did you do in your sister’s home?
W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot, which was nice. But what I enjoyed most was feeding him. (Text 7)
M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.
W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.
M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around.
W: I see your point. But I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving.
(Text 8)
M: Let’s go and have lunch together.
W: OK!
M: By the way, I’m thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It’s such a beautiful country. I’ve never been there before.
W: Have you booked the flight?
M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two weeks’ time
W: Book your flight right now.
M: Why?
W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it will be. As a matter of fact, the prices may double at Christmas time. New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas.
M: Then I’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning.
(Text 9)
M: Hello!
W: Hello, Mike! This is Jane.
M: Oh. Hello, Jane!
W: Listen, Mike! I’ve got a real problem.
M: What is it?
W: The car’s broken down.
M: Oh, not again.
W: Yeah. I checked the oil and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all.
M: You have to get rid of it, you know.
W:I know ,Iknow. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I……?
M: Use my car? Yes, of course.
W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you.
M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight.
W: OK! I’ll be around in about an hour. Thanks a lot!
M: It’s all right. See you then!
W: See you!
(Text 10)
W: OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some
well-known short story writers. I remember that many of you said you liked the American writer Earnest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “ A day’s wait”, because as I said, we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now since you’re supposed to have read this story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy read for in the story and what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the boy’s father? Four, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing the story? I’d like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear?

W: Oh, yes, in the United States, we don’t have to carry a big school bag with us like you do.
M: Why is that?
W: We have a locker of our own which is a small box with a lock within textbooks and our personal things in it. I just bring a day pack to school.
M: A day pack?
W: Yes, it is a small bag which you carry on your back.
M: What do you carry in it?
W: My notebooks, or a few books for homework.
M: That’s convenient. Is there anything else you’ve noticed about our school?
W: Yes, I am surprised that everyone is so silent in class.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, we usually ask questions about exams, homework or textbooks on the first day of the school year. The teachers like such questions.

W: Good morning, everybody. Today for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us. A well know writer in this country, he is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories.
M: Ok, I watch people a lot, I do that when I travel, I have been to many countries such as Britain, Italy, and Sweden. So I spent a lot of time at the airports, while waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple, they were buying magazines at that moment, they were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase, every few seconds, the women looked around, I wondered someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and, you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a banker stole one million ponds a week before and disappeared with his wife, there was a picture of them in the paper, the couple really looked like the thieves, maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other. And the women walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that, but I find things like that very useful for my writing,

As babies are the weakest, when you come to a baby, you pass it to the baby and increase the chances of disease in the baby.

W: You can say that again. If I want to go camping and fishing, I go to the Red River area. For complete quiet I can hide away in my house with a good book from one of our public libraries.
M: That all sounds very exciting. I’m sure some of our listeners will include Louisville in their travel plan for their next holiday. Thank you, Michelle.

M: We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?
W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind
is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t love themselves to even think about it.

Where can you look if you want to know how tall the tallest person in the world is, or who the oldest person in the world is? There is only one place where you’ll find all these information, and that’s in the Guinness Book of
World Records. This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning. “Welcome to the program, Thomas!”“Thanks, Sue. It’s a pleasure to be here.”“Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.”“Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasn’t the fastest, he wondered what was.”“So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information and he couldn’t find it?”“Yes, that’s exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.”“So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?”“A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.”“There are also some rather strange records, aren’t there, Thomas?”“Yes ,that’s right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken …”

B: Well, I didn’t want to say anything until I was sure she could come.
7. A: Hey, Peter, I’m sorry!
B: Hi, Diana, what’s wrong?
A: We were going to Hong Kong this weekend, but I’m afraid I can’t go.
B: How come?
A: I have a really big geography test and I have to study for it.
B: We can go next week instead.
A: No, I don’t want to ruin your weekend. You go ahead and please take the book I bought to my friend Sally. Tell her I have to study all weekend, because I can’t afford to fail the test.
B: Ok, then I’ll go with Dan. But it’s a pity you can’t come.
8. A: Hello, this is Andrea.
B: Hello, Andrea, this is Alex. I have some very good news for you. Miranda was very satisfied with you and said she’s very much looking forward to working with you. Isn’t that wonderful?。
