M: I always like to go for a walk after supper.
W: I see. Then why are you going by bus? Why not go there on foot? It isn’t very far from here. M: Oh, no. But it isn’t very interesting to walk through the street. Text 7
W: Good morning, sir. What can I do for you? M: Please show me that Walkman. It looks so nice. W: Here you are, sir. M: How much does it cost? W: $ 339.90.
M: It’s quite expensive. Could I have it for $ 310?
W: I’m afraid not. The lowest price I would sell it for is $ 320. M: OK, I’ll take it. Do you accept credit cards or checks?
W: Both, but could you let me have a look at your driver’s license first? M: Yes, here it is. Text 8
M: Excuse me, Blanche. Where is the newspaper today?
W: Why do you want to read the newspaper, Jules? You always watch the news on television. M: I know. But I won’t be leaving for another hour. I want to read the newspaper to kill time. I want to read the sports page in the newspaper.
W: I read the newspaper after I had lunch. Both Kathy and I read it. You never read the paper but just watch television, so I put it away.
M: Well, I’ve found the paper. But I can’t find the page I want. Where is it? W: You have to look for it more carefully! Text 9 W: Taxi! M: Yes, madam?
W: Could you please get me to the City Lights Hotel? I’m in a hurry. I have to get there before 3 o’clock.
M: There is a lot of traffic now, but I think I can get you there on time.
W: It’s so kind of you. My friends are holding a party there. I hope I will not be late.
M: That’s nice… Here we are. 3 o’clock sharp. W: Great! We have made it. How much is it? M: The meter says $ 8. 50.
W: Here is $ 10. Keep the change, please. M: Thank you. Have a good time. Text 10
What happened to me that day is just unbelievable. The first tiling to go wrong was that all the parking spaces were taken. So I had to park on the grass and hoped that I would not get a parking ticket. When I got to the Admission’s Office, there was already a long line of students waiting. By the time it was my turn, two of the courses I needed were filled, and I had to go back to my adviser and make out a whole new time table. Although I did sign up for all my courses, I missed lunch. The next thing to go wrong was that the bookstore had sold out of one of the textbooks required. As I was leaving, I wondered what else could possibly happen. Then I saw a policeman standing beside my car and writing out a ticket.
