       Good luck!

Yours sincerely

M: I need to use the restroom, but the door is locked. No one is in there because I already knocked on the door. Can you give me the key?

W: Well, the restroom is for customers only. You’ll need to buy something before I can give it to you.

Text 2

M: When does the play start? My ticket says 7:30 p.m.

W: Well, that’s when it officially starts. They actually check tickets fifteen minutes earlier. And if you’re not seated when the lights go down five minutes before that, they won’t let you in.

Text 3

W: I play basketball three times a week. What’s your favorite sport, Patrick?

M: I played baseball as a young kid, but I haven’t picked up a bat in years. I’m much more into tennis these days.

Text 4

M: I wish Uncle Jim wouldn’t talk with his mouth full of food.

W: Well, I love his jokes and that makes up for his lack of manners.

Text 5

W: How much did you pay for this new fridge?

M: Oh, it was a little over a thousand dollars, plus tax. It was much more expensive than our washing machine, but not nearly as much as our bed!

Text 6

W: I can’t believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Who usually does the cooking in your family?

M: My mother and my two aunts don’t let anyone else do anything except for the salad and the drinks. That includes all the sauces, desserts, and place settings.

W: Wow. It sounds like they take Turkey Day pretty seriously.

M: Listen, if Thanksgiving were an Olympic sport, they would be kicked out for winning too many gold medals! What about you?

W: Well, my parents and I do everything together. It’s better than one person trying to do too much.

Text 7

W: Oh, there is nothing better than a nice cold glass of ice water on a hot day.

M: You know, cold water always gives me stomachaches.

W: Really? I’ve never had that problem. I’ve been drinking ice water since I was little.

M: Hmm. When I was a small boy, my grandmother never let my mom give me anything other than warm water.

W: Even in the summer?

M: Yes. Every once in a while, my dad would take me to get some ice cream, but my grandmother was never happy about that. I think it was the sugar that she didn’t like…

Text 8

M: Is it me, or is it really hard to understand this speaker?

W: You’re right. It’s not that he has an accent like some of the other speakers from another country. It’s just that he is speaking too softly. Do you think it would be rude to ask him to turn his microphone up a little bit?

M: I don’t think he’s wearing one. Either that or he’s turned it off.

W: That’s crazy. There must be four hundred people here.

M: This part of the conference has turned into such a waste of time. Maybe we should leave and try to find another lecture.

W: I can’t do that. I come here specifically to hear this guy’s speech. I think I’ll just go up to him at the end of the speech and try to ask him some questions.

M: Good idea. Would you mind if I followed you up there? It might be the only way to get anything out of this hour.

W: No problem.

Text 9

W: Excuse me. Can you tell me where I can find dresses for teenagers?

M: Yes, they’re on the left, next to the purses. But don’t you think you should look for something, uh…a bit more mature?

W: Oh, no…it’s not for me. I’m looking for a present for my niece. She’s turning 16 next week, and she’s having a big party.

M: Oh, I remember when my daughter was that age. She’s about to graduate college now.

W: How wonderful! Yeah, Elizabeth is looking at schools right now. We’ll probably take her on a tour of the East Coast colleges sometime in the fall. She lives with my brother and his wife in Oregon.

M: There are some schools there that offer good programs, but they probably don’t get the scenery like we do here on the East Coast. I’ve always liked seeing the seasons change. I went to the University of Pennsylvania. What about you?

W: I went to Brown University.

M: Great! So where does your niece want to go to school?

W: Oh, I think Harvard, Yale, and the University of Chicago are her top three choices.

M: Well, those are all fantastic schools with a long history, but I think it’s a good idea to take her to see all those places up close and in person. You can’t get a sense of a college until you set foot on campus.

W: I couldn’t agree more! Well, I’d better get back to my shopping!

Hello, I’m Rachel Joyce. I’m so happy to be here today at the Claremont Library. I’ve traveled all the way from England, and it’s truly wonderful to visit the United States! This is the first stop on my book tour. I’m off to Australia next! Before I take any questions, let me tell you a bit about myself. My new novel, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, was recently published in 2014. The book is a companion to my first novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which follows a man named Harold Fry as he goes in search of his old friend, Queenie Hennessy, in hopes of saying goodbye before she dies. The novel was published in 2012. It was almost chosen for the Commonwealth Book Prize and the Man Booker Prize. The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy is Queenie’s side of the story as she waits for Harold. I’ve also written many radio plays for BBC Radio Four, and in 2007, I won the Tinniswood Award for my radio play To Be a Pilgrim. I have also won the UK National Book Award for New Writer of the Year. Before I was a writer, I was an actress in theatre and on TV. I’ll take questions from the audience now.

Health Is Important

Health is far more important than wealth and wisdom. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our career. On the contrary, poor health make us lose our interest in everything around us.

Firstly , we have to keep a balanced diet and maintain regular eating habits. Avoid

food with lots of sugar and fat. take more fruits and vegetables. Secondly, we‘d better do

some exercise every day to make our bodies strong. Thirdly, we have to avoid too much

work pressure. Getting too tired may definitely weaken our defense system, making us get

sick easily. Besides we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health, such as drinking and smoking.   

In conclusion, if we stick to things according to the aspects mentioned above, we’ll

lead a healthy life.

W: Excuse me, Professor Carson, but I was hoping to talk to you about my class project.

M: I have a class in a few minutes. Why don't you come and see me during office hours tomorrow?

Text 2

W: These tomatoes are huge!  You must have watered them a lot.

M: Yes, I did. They ought to be ripe enough to pick by next Friday when we have our picnic.

Text 3

M: When can we expect you for dinner? Can you come tonight?

W: Not tonight. I promised to go to a concert with my sister.

M: Well....How about Friday then?

W: That sounds fine.

Text 4

M: I hear you drive a long way to work every day.

W: Oh, yes. It's about sixty miles. But it doesn't seem that far, the road is not bad, and there's not much traffic.

Text 5

M: Hi, Betty. How are things going with you?

W: Not bad. I need a summer job.

M: I was reading the wanted ads. Here's something for you.  Wanted:  Waitress for a new restaurant.

W: Thank you. I'll have a try.

Text 6

W: Tell me, Jack. Do you look through the Web much?

M: Well, to tell the truth, I'm so busy with my work. I don't really have much time to surf the Web. Let me think...I suppose I log on a couple of  times a week, for about two or three hours at a time.

W: So, what do you do on the Internet when you log on?

M: Well, sometimes I look up information I need for my job. It saves a lot of time looking through books in the library.

W: Yes, it sure does.

Text 7

W: Why is it so hot these days?

M: The weather report says another typhoon is forming in the western Pacific and is moving towards the mainland.

M: I'm afraid so. It will hit our city on its way towards the mainland.

W: When will it arrive?

M: It is expected to arrive here tomorrow evening.

W: So we must be prepared for it.

M: Yes. The government has warned the fishermen not to go fishing too far out to sea, and told all citizens not to stay out when the typhoon arrives. I'm afraid it will cause a serious damage. We'll have to be careful.

M: Susan, I've got a few questions. Let's see. Can you type?

W: No, I can't type.

M: What about shorthand?

W: I don't know. I've never tried.

W: Well, I can play the piano and the violin.

M: Play the piano and the violin?

W: Yes, and I can sing and dance.

M: Susan, what are you doing here?

W: I want a job. I want to work here.

M: But you can't take shorthand, and you can't even type.

M: But I want a secretary.

W: Is this the Grand Theater?

M: No, of course not. It's the Grand Hotel. The Grand Theater is on the opposite street.

Text 9

W: Do you have somewhere to stay in London, Peter?

M: No, I don't. In fact, I was about to ask you if you could arrange some place for me to stay.

W: Yes, that's no problem though I am not in charge of it. I'll ask someone to arrange it for you. What kind of place were you considering?

M: Well, I don't care if I share with other people, but I'm not good at housework. Maybe a home stay would be OK, but I don't like young children, because they're noisy and it's difficult to study. Hopefully, I can live with a lady who has retired.

W: OK, that's no problem. But I must warn you that living with a family in London is very expensive. Much more expensive than other small cities.

M: That's not a big problem. I have some money saved. Besides, I can always get a part time job. I'm working in a supermarket as a cashier now. So I don't think I will have trouble with money.

W: Sounds good. I'll call you if I get some information about that.

M: OK, that's great. Thank you very much.

W: You are welcome.

One kind of vacation that many Americans enjoy is camping. Each summer millions of Americans drive to the countryside where they find places to camp. The national parks, many of which are in the mountains, are favorite camping places. Campers walk, swim and fish. They can also find many kinds of animals and plants in the parks. Mostly they enjoy a change from their busy lives in the city. Some campers have trailers which are pulled by their cars. Trailers are like houses on wheels. They have many conveniences which people have in their homes, such as electricity and  hot water. But most campers don't have trailers. They camp in tents which they set up in their camp sites. Campers in tents don't have the conveniences that campers in trailers have. Tent campers enjoy a very simple life.
