Conversation 1 Buying Kitchen Utensils

W: Can I help you?

M: Well, I’m not sure. I hope so. You see, actually I’m getting married soon, and my friends want to buy me presents and things.

W: And would you like some things for the kitchen?

M: Yes, that’s right. I thought if I could find out about k itchen things, they would be the best sorts of presents.

W: Well, I suppose the first you need is a cooker. Do you want an electric one or a gas one?

M: Hm. I think I’d probably prefer a gas one. But cookers are very expensive, aren’t they? How much is this one?

W:It’s 175 pounds, including tax and delivery. It’s a very good one though.

M:But it’s a lot of money, isn’t it? What sorts of things could I ask people to buy?

You know, cheaper.

W: Well, you need some pans, won’t you? A set of saucepans, I suppo se, and frying pans .Do you like cooking?

M: Yes, I suppose so.

W: Well, in that case, you might like a mixer. If you make cakes and things like that, it’ll save you a lot of time, and a blender too. That’s good if you make soup and things.

M:Hm. That’s a thought.

W: Something else you might use is a set of these knives, you know, carving knives, bread knives, steak knives, fruit knives, potato peeling knives.

M: Heavens! I never knew there were so many sorts.

W: Oh, yes. Come over here and I’ll show you s ome more.

Conversation 2 A New Job Offer

M: Good morning, Mrs. Thomson.

W: Oh, Mr. Minizuka. Please come in and sit down. I want to talk to you about something that has come up.

M:What’s up? Anyway, I’ll be glad to help you with anything I can.

W: Some advice, Mr. Minizuka. I have been offered a new job.

M: A new job?

W: As a matter of fact, it isn’t the bank in New York.

M:It’s the offer from another bank?

W: It’s from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington.

M: You mean the World Bank?

W: That’s right. And it’s really very unexpected, I must say.

M: You’ve established a reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they’ve offered you?

W: A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the International Finance Corporation.

M: Isn’t that the part of the bank that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries?

W: Yes, it is. It’s a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.

M: It seems to me tha t it’s a real honor for you.

W: Yes, it is. But I’ve been with this bank for so many years. Ever since I graduated from college, in fact.

M: But it’s an honor for the bank, too, for the training and experience it’s given you. W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.

M: Then, you’ve decided to accept the offer?

W: Probably, yes, almost certainly. I’d like to think I can do some work that will contribute to international cooperation and understanding.

Conversation 3 Selecting Courses

A: OK. Now we’d better make sure you enjoy your studies. We offer a wide range of options on the foundation course, but you can only take five courses. What have you selected?

B: Physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design，CAD…

A: Oh, right. CAD and English. That’s quite strange. Don’t you want to do maths, or computer programming, for example? Why did you choose art and design?

B:Well, I’m interested in electronics and in writing computer games. I’d like to produce educational software and educational games. I’v e taught myself a lot of programming. So I don’t think I’d benefit much from a foundation level course. A: Oh, no, I see that. Go on, please.

B:So, I want the basics—the physical science and electronics. I was hopeless at physics in school and we didn’t have electronics. But I was good at maths. I don’t think I need that.

A: Then what about the art and design?

B: That will be good for my graphics—I need that to produce games, and CAD too—I’ve never done CAD before.

A:Right. They’ve got some powerful packa ges in the computer graphics and CAD offices. You’ll enjoy that. Then English. I know your English is very good, but why did you take it?

B: In fact I don’t have any problem in speaking, but my writing is terrible.

A: Then I suggest you join the study skil ls class. They’ll have lectures on report writing and that may help you with how to structure your essays and so on.

B: Right. That sounds good.

Conversation 4 Applying for Practice in a Company

A: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. I’m Diana Huston.
