M How do you like your new house?

W I like it, but I want to make it a more cozy place. Help me choose some nice curtains.

M Okay. What about these with the teddy bear print?

W They're not my style. They look too childish.

M You don’t like flower prints either, right?

W I hate flower prints. Aren’t these checked curtains nice?

M I don’t know, they’re not my type. Aren’t these striped ones better?

W Well, I prefer the checked ones.

02

[Telephone rings.]

M Hello?

W Hi, Laurence. It’s me.

M Susie, aren’t you supposed to be on the plane by now? How are you calling me?

W I missed the flight, so I’m at the airport now.

M How come?

W I misunderstood the flight schedule.

M Oh, dear. You have an important meeting in Mokpo. I wish I could help you.

W Actually, I need your help. Could you check if a train ticket to Mokpo is available?

M Okay. Let me check it on the Internet and call you back.

03

① W Let’s play soccer together.

M No, I want to play basketball.

② W You seem to be into that novel.

M Yeah. I can’t stop reading it.

③ W Hey, you’ve been playing computer games for five hours.

M Just five more minutes. This is the last stage.

④ W For how long have you been studying?

M I just started.

⑤ W Oh, I think my computer is out of order.

M Let me see. I’ll try to fix it.

04

W This sandwich is really delicious. Where did you buy it?

M I bought it at the bakery near my house.

W Please take me there some day. I want to see what else they have.

M Okay. Then let’s go to buy sandwiches together. How about this Friday?

W I’m afraid I can’t. Can we go this Thursday?

M No, I have plans until Friday. Then how about this weekend?

W That’s fine with me. Which day is better for you?

M Can you come over on Saturday? I’m not sure about Sunday.

W Saturday sounds good.

05

M How can I help you?

W Hello, I dropped my cellphone in the toilet by accident, and it isn’t working.

M We just sell cellphones here, and you need to visit the service center to fix your phone.

W I see. Can you tell me where the nearest service center is?

M It is located in Yongsan Station.

W Thanks for your help.

M No problem, but I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money to fix it. In that case, you’d better buy a new one, so please visit here again.

W I will, thanks.

06

W Hi, Ted. Will you come to my house tomorrow? We’re going to have a pajama party.

M What about your parents?

W They’re on a trip, so they’re coming back in a week.

M Cool. Have you invited many friends?

W Sure. Julie, Monica, Luke, and Tony are coming.

M Did you say Luke? I haven’t seen him since elementary school. I can’t wait to see him. Okay. I will go to your house tomorrow.

07

① W Could you boil some water?

M Okay. Let’s go out for tea.

② W Are these dolls for sale?

M No, they’re not. They’re part of the exhibits.

③ W Where did you go for vacation?

M I just stayed at home watching TV.

④ W Haven’t you cleaned your room yet?

M No, I was busy doing my homework.

⑤ W You cannot park your car here.

M I didn’t know it was a private parking area.

08

M Is it still 3 o’clock?

W That’s strange. It was 3 when I saw the clock a while ago.

M Let me check my cellphone clock. Oh, my gosh. It’s 4:30.

W The clock’s battery must have run out.

M What’ll I do? I am supposed to go to Seoul Station by 5 to meet my cousin.

W It’s impossible to get to Seoul Station in 30 minutes by subway. Why don’t you take a taxi?

M Okay. Can you call for a taxi while I pack my bag?

W Sure.

09

W Excuse me, aren’t you Josh Austin? Can I get your autograph?

M Umm, I’m not.

W Oops, I apologize.

M No, no. But I’ve heard that I look like the singer a lot.

W Can I ask you a favor?

M What is it?

W Could you take a picture with me? My friends will believe that I met Josh.

M I’d rather not. Josh Austin would not be happy if he knew I was pretending to be him.

W Oh, you’re right.

10

M Hello, I came to get my clothes. Are they all dry-cleaned?

W Yes. These three sweaters and a coat are yours, right?

M They are. How much are they?

W They’re seventy dollars total.

M Wow, is it that expensive?

W It’s $15 to dry-clean a sweater, and $25 for a coat.

M I see. Here’s a 100 dollar bill.

11

W Aren’t we there yet? I want to take a rest for a while.

M Okay. Let’s put our bags here.

W If I had known climbing was so hard, I would have gone to the beach instead.

M You would have regretted it if you had gone to the beach. It’s too crowded there.

W Maybe or maybe not. Anyway, my legs are killing me.

M Give me your bag. It will only take fifteen minutes to get to the top.

12

W Please leave a message. (beep)

M Hi, Natalie. I recently moved to a new house, and I’m planning a party. If you are free this Saturday, come to my house by 12 o'clock. You can take the number 3 bus and get off at Jisan Station. Since Jenny has been to my house, you can contact her and come together. Hope to see you on Saturday.

13

W I don’t know where to put this little flowerpot.

M There are many good spots for that flowerpot. Between the door and the bookshelf is empty.

W I don’t want to put it on the floor.

M How about on the head of the bed?

W I’m worried I might hit it by mistake when I’m in bed.

M Then, how about on the bookshelf? I don’t think you would hit it by mistake there.

W You are right. But the space doesn’t seem to be big enough.

M Oh, I think the desk will be the best. There’s a big window in front of the desk.

W That’s a good idea. Flowers need a lot of sun. I’ll put it there.

14

M It keeps food cold and frozen. Before, it was usually a wooden box with a big piece of ice in it. These days, it is made of metal. And it’s a pretty big, rectangular box. And it has one or two doors. It can be operated by electricity.

15

W Look at that young woman in the seat for the elderly. She’s not giving her seat to the old man in front of her.

M She might have her own reasons.

W Such as?

M Maybe she’s suffering from a leg injury or she might be having a baby. Don’t you think so?

W You might be right. I’d better give the old man my seat.

M How kind of you!

16

M Miran, can I talk to you for a moment?

W Sure, Mr. Kim.

M You haven’t handed in the report yet.

W Sorry? Isn’t the report due on May 20th?

M No, it was due on the 12th, and it’s already the 16th today.

W I’ll hand it in by tomorrow.

M Okay.

17

W Peter got on the subway to meet Judy. He was very tired, so he took a nap for a while. When Peter opened his eyes, however, he found out that he had passed two stations. It was certain that he was going to be late. Judy might be at the meeting place. In this case, what would Peter call to say to Judy?

18

M Has everybody come? Let’s leave for the amusement park.

W Wait, Minju hasn’t come yet.

M Oh, didn’t she say she had a stomachache yesterday?

W She did. Maybe she’s still sick, so I sent her a text message five minutes ago.

M She might not be able to check her cell phone. Would you call her?

W All right.

19

W Are you going to your club now?

M Yes, we have to practice for the show next week.

W I’m sorry that I can’t go to the show.

M I understand. You have an important family gathering.

W But I really want to see your performance.

M Well, actually, we have a rehearsal tomorrow.

W Really? Do you mind if I go to see it?

20

W Congratulations! You are the 100th customer of our store today.
