W Clark, how do you like this backpack with two stripes in the middle? I’d like to buy it.

M Don’t you have one in the same style? I suggest that you try a new style.

W Hmm... let me try. Could you recommend one for me?

M How about this one with a ribbon?

W I don’t like that.

M Then, how about this black one with white stars?

W That’s cool. I’ll take it.

02

W Son, what’s up at this time?

M Mom, are you at home now?

W Yes. Why?

M Could you send a file to my email? The title of the file is Science Project.

W Okay. You didn’t take it, right?

M No. I forgot to store it on my USB and take it. I need to work on the project with my group members now.

W I got it. I’ll call you after emailing you.

03

① M Can you give me a hand?

W Of course, what can I do for you?

② M We don’t use our left hand when shaking hands.

W Oh, I didn’t know that. Sorry.

③ M How can you write so well with your left hand?

W Well, I’m left-handed.

④ M We only use the right hand when eating things.

W Is there any special reason?

⑤ M Why don’t you use a fork?

W It is easier for me to use the chopsticks.

[Telephone rings.]

M Hello. This is T-market. May I help you?

W Hello. I’d like to order 25 teddy bear T-shirts. I need to get them by this Thursday.

M I’m very sorry but Wednesday is a holiday, so that’s not possible. If you order today, I can send them by this Friday.

W But our sports day is Friday. We need them by this Thursday.

M If you can come to get them, you can get them on Tuesday. But only if you send your payment today. Our shop address is on the website.

W I can go. Thank you so much. What time can I go?

M Come at around 6. I’ll have them ready for you.

05

M Cut. Let’s take a picture one more time.

W Well, did I do something wrong again?

M It was not you, this time. Actually, your pose was perfect.

W Then, what’s wrong?

M A fly has been flying around you.

W I see. I hope this is the last time.

M I hope so, too. Let’s take a break after taking this photo.

06

W How much is it?

M It’s $15 total. Would you like to pay by cash or credit?

W I’d like to pay by credit card. Wait , where is it?

M Umm, is there something wrong?

W I can’t find my wallet anywhere. Could you wait for me for a second?

M Okay. But, could you give way to the next person? A lot of people have been waiting in line behind you.

W Oh, I didn’t know that. I’m sorry.

M It’s okay.

07

① W May I hold your bag? It looks heavy.

M Thanks, but I’m okay.

M Of course, I can type really fast.

⑤ W Do I need to bring my own cooking tools?

M You don’t need to. We have all the tools.

08

M Hi, Jenny. Are you having problems with the copy machine?

W Yes. It doesn’t work. I couldn’t find out what’s wrong with it.

M Did you check the paper tray?

W Sure. It is okay. Phew, I don’t know much about machines.

M Let’s see what’s wrong. Why don’t we star t by checking out the plug?

W It’s plugged in.

M Oh! But the power is not on yet.

W What a silly mistake!

09

M What are you making?

W I’m making slippers. Would you have a look?

M These look so comfortable. How did you make these?

W Let me show you.

M You are very creative. Why don’t we make a video and upload it on the internet?

W That sounds interesting, but I don’t think anybody would be interested.

M Trust me. I bet you’ll be surprised by what people think of these.

10

W I like my new hair style. How much should I pay?

M I’m glad you like it. You need to pay fifty dollars.

W Sorry? Did you say $50?

M Yes. It’s $20 for the haircut, $30 for coloring your hair.

W I see. I have a membership card and a discount coupon as well.

M Sorry, but you cannot use both of them. You can get either a 10% discount with the membership card or 30% discount with the coupon.

W Okay. I’ll use the coupon.

W Jack, I rode that roller coaster, and it was so fun. Can I ride it one more time?

M Again? Aren’t you scared?

W No, it’s really exciting. Do you want to ride it with me?

M No way. Even looking at the rail makes me feel sick.

W Okay, let me ride it by myself.

M Have fun. Amy, I want to have some orange juice. Come to the snack bar after you ride it.

W I will.

W This is made from milk. It is hard in the refrigerator, but it turns to oily liquid if it is heated. You spread it on bread and eat it, or you can use it to fry vegetables or meat. You also need it to bake cookies or cake. It is high in fat, and it’s not good to eat it too much.

15

M Mom, here’s the sauce you asked me to buy.

W Thanks. Wait, this is a green bottle.

M Yeah. You said the green bottle, didn’t you?

W No, I told you to buy a red one, not the green one.

M Oops. Can we just use it?

W No, they’re totally different sauces.

M Well, do you want me to go and exchange it?

W Hmm, we might need this one anyway. Leave it here and buy the red one, will you?

M Okay.

However, he isn’t sure which book the kids would like the most. Fortunately, his younger sister, Ann is an elementary school student. He wants to ask Ann to pick the best book among the ones he has. In this situation, what would Tom most likely say to Ann?

18

W Did you finish your dinner?

M Yes, I’ve had enough, I’m full.

W Then, why did you order this much? You shouldn’t have ordered sundae at the end.

M I wanted to taste it as well, but I can’t eat anymore.

W Okay. Then, let’s have it wrapped and eat it later.

M That’s a good idea.

19

W What are you doing, John?

M Oh, Mom. I’m studying for final exams.

W Aren’t you sleepy? It’s too late.

W No problem. Which one do you prefer, Coke or orange juice?

20
