neutral Why did you go there? neutral I went there on business. neutral And do you have friends there? happiness Yes, a lot of friends. happiness You must have enjoyed yourself. happiness

It's fun, and the people are so nice.

It's really fantastic to live in an international city. The life style is much more relax

neutral There were some famous ugly women in history. neutral Yeah? Were they famous because of the ugliness? neutral Though they were ugly, they had great virtue. neutral Then who were they? neutral Mo Mu, Thong Lichen, Meng Gang and Ran Nv. They were well respected. neutral

What about Jane Fonda?

What did those famous ladies do? sadness Mostly, they got married with

neutral I always think everybody looks down on me neutral Don't be that negative. neutral How can you be optimistic? You can see it in their eyes. neutral I find it there is no meaning in living this world. neutral Don't be that negative. neutral

Why do you say such words? 057943

Exciting, isn ’ t it? sadness But life sucks for us

neutral You know why fire crackers are set off in festival. neutral Why? To welcome the new year of course? neutral And also to frighten away evil spirits. surprise Really? neutral And my parents say the whole year will be as good or as bad as new year day itself and bad or rude words on the day will bring a bad year. neutral

I don' t understand that.

Oh really? 7 happiness Hey, I love this holiday

neutral Mom, did you feel the earthquake this afternoon? fear Oh, that scared me. neutral The breaking news just reported some houses were destroyed by the earthquake. fear Oh, dear! How ruthless! neutral Do you think we can donate some clothes and food for the victims? happiness

That is a good idea.

Yes! Why not? They are really need it. anger But what if there

neutral Maybe they have some good pie. neutral I would love a really sticky cinnamon bun. neutral There was a coffee shop by my house when I was a kid that served cinnamon hot chocolate. neutral Mmmm. That sounds like something I had in Mexico once. neutral Good stuff... Oh, no. The door is locked. neutral

What do we do?

What about your key, Jim? happiness Hey! Those pies are great

neutral Yes, so I think she is suitable for you. neutral But, well... what I want to say is... neutral Stop acting like this. Say away! neutral Her standard for selecting life partner is a little higher. I can not accept that. neutral What did she say? neutral

She said'If he has no sense of right and wrong, then it's difficult for him

Oh. It seems she wants the same thing as we do--celloph flowers and an excellent

anger how dare you! neutral hang on a second. Hear me out, just this once, Isabella! neutral why did you lie to me in the email? neutral I didn't lie. You just didn't ask me my real name. neutral I should have known it was you. No wonder all the 20 questions were answered correctly. I thought I might have found the one for me. neutral

but... if she doesn't want her brother married to someone from another country, then he can

maybe that will make up for what i said. and... sorry about your brother, jim.

happiness How beautiful the flower is! happiness Really, it's so beautiful. happiness You like it. Well, I'll gather in for you. neutral You mustn't pick it in this place. neutral Where it is? neutral

This area is not open to the public. If they see us, we will have trouble.

This park isn ’ t yours to walk about. sadness Oh, sorry!

neutral That's too much for us really. neutral Where are you going now? neutral I'm going to try to find out where the school is located. neutral When do you start school? neutral I'm going to register right now. neutral

Do you need help getting registered?

Are they having a party later? happiness It sounds like it. This is fun

neutral what do you have for breakfast? neutral I usually have cereal, but sometimes I cook a traditional English breakfast. neutral that sounds nice. How do you spend your mornings? neutral I usually do housework in mornings. I go shopping occasionally. I like to do all my shopping in one bag trip to the supermarket. I always drive to the big supermarket in the city center. It takes about neutral how do you spend your afternoons? neutral

1 spend most of them working or doing something outside on weekend. My wife often has people round

My granddahter likes helping me with my work around th 1 afternoon. We take

neutral I asked if you come here often. neutral Sometimes, usually once every few weeks. Do you? neutral No, this is my first time here. neutral I usually come with a group of friends. We dance a little, have a few drinks, and just have a good time. neutral Yeah, that ’ s why I ’ m here. My friends dragged me here, because they think I spend too much time studying. neutral

You study, don' t you.

Hey, whatever keeps the doctor off. surprise What?! You know it has

neutral Yes. After two U. S. fighter jets followed him for an hour, he landed on a highway. neutral Did he crash? neutral No, he just landed the plane and walked to a restaurant. neutral Did the cops find out why he flew into the U. S.? neutral His life sucked. He was hoping a fighter jet would shoot him down. neutral

Wish that guy good luck, though.

Exactly what happened? disgust Well. It's kind like your

neutral Did you watch the Premiership last night? neutral Yes, I watched United play Chelsea. What a fierce battle! allay were engaged in intensive pressing and tackling in midfield. Well, it was not like a normal English League match. neutral No, it wasn't. Rather, it looked like a Bundesliga match, where physical contact is so frequent. English League teams are apt to pass the midfield quickly with long passes. It seems to me English soccer players are very gentlemanly. As Diego Maradona spoke teasingly, they often knew only chasing hard after the ball, but forgot to steal it. neutral Haha. That's probably why slide tackle and fouls are less common, and offsides more frequent in English League matches than those on the Continent. And the ball is often kept flying overhead, drawing beautiful curves in the sky. Such games are quite pleasing to the eye. neutral Which team do you back then? neutral

Both of my hometown, London.

My heart is for Chelsea, even though my hometown has always been known as an

neutral I will be driving my car. neutral OK, that will be twenty-five dollars. How would you like to pay for it? neutral I'll pay for it with a check. neutral Would you like to pay for any extra permits for another vehicle? neutral No, thanks ; I'm fine. happiness

Thank you very much.

All right. Please sign in next to the window and let me know if there ever is a question

Do take some time this afternoon. We will discuss on what to improve next semester during the meeting

Do you need further explanation on those points? happiness Thank you! That'll

neutral You are saying he will be promoted to the general manager? neutral Yeah. neutral Are you sure? neutral Yes. I bet my bottom dollar that he will get promoted. neutral Just because he gets on well with everybody? neutral

That ’ s right, in this corporation.

Yup, just this. surprise and disgust... He is a hard

neutral What's Beijing like? neutral It ’ s big and exciting but noisy. neutral What can I see in Beijing? neutral You can see the Forbidden City. neutral What ’ s it like? neutral

We went inside once, before.

Very beautiful. And you must take some photograph there 24 - 7 service is available to

happiness I really need to learn this stuff. neutral He made everything so interesting that the time just flew by. Do you know what I mean? happiness Yes, that sounds right for me. neutral Did you know that he came here last year after 10 years in the military? happiness Yeah, I already knew that. That could be a good thing. happiness

It sure looks great on his resume!

You'll like him. When can we sign up again? sadness The next

neutral Hello. I was wondering if Taylor Smith has checked out yet? neutral Just one moment. I'll check with the cancer ward desk. surprise The cancer ward!? Oh, my. It's worse than we thought. neutral Ma'am, I'm sorry. The cancer ward said Mr. Smith passed away two days ago. surprise That's impossible! I'm talking about Mister Taylor Smith. neutral

He wasn't able to make it because he didn ’ t get enough rest during treatment.

Well... it must be a mistake. sadness No, ma'am!

neutral I have something really cool to tell you about! Do you know anything about online auctions? neutral Not really. neutral They're awesome! I was browsing through the eBay auction today, and I found the cutest fat little copper Buddha! It's over a hundred years old. neutral Please don't tell me you bought it. neutral Why not? neutral

Because if they find out where that piece of history comes from, there would be serious problems.

Because... happiness Ha! That wouldn worry our boss one bit. And he

neutral Could you please tell me how many credits would be required for a bachelor's degree? neutral Well, you have to get 166 credits, including required courses and optional courses. neutral OK. And how long does it take to get a bachelor's degree? neutral It can be completed in four years normally. happiness I see. Thank you very much. happiness

You're welcome. Good-bye!

My pleasure. Please call us anytime if we are helpful at all.Betsie from customer

neutral All right, then.There is one at the new concert hall. neutral Who's playing? neutral It's the Powell orchestra. neutral Do you know what they are playing? neutral They're doing a seventeenth-century program. neutral

So, it must be some baroque stuff?

That means that all their music will be by people in the surprise Oh! I

neutral Your 3.5 percent share is going to be worth at least a million. neutral I need to be motivated, Vince.Multi - motivated. As in multi-million. neutral What if I said no? neutral Ever hear of WebTracker? neutral You wouldn't! If you leave, you'll make nothing. neutral

And what will that do for the company? It might lose half its value. That means your stock

Do what the hell, Elvin! Please... please! Don't go. We could get

happiness This dish tastes terrific. Would you like to try a little? It is a little hot, but very good. happiness I like hot food, especially Sichuan cuisine. happiness Would you like another beer? happiness I'II have another cup of beer insist. I know I don't like to drink alone, especially there are someone sitting there next to me. happiness Come on, it's the weekend. Let's taste and enjoy this meal. Cheers! happiness

Thank for having dinner in my house with all these friends. We will get together later at night!

Oh! That was spicy. Is your nose still clear from that pepper?

neutral what gift? neutral it's an Egyptian carpet. The student came to my office the other day and brought the carpet to show his gratitude. Seeing what gift was, I was really uncomfortable. I mean it's too expensive a gift neutral you refused the gift? That's terrible. neutral I know, but I really can't accept such an expensive gift. I explained to him why, but he seemed really upset about it. I think he might have taken it the wrong way. neutral perhaps. He probably thinks you considered the gift a bribe for a higher grade. neutral

well, maybe not. Anyway

that makes me feel so awkward. surprise What! No way, Mary.

neutral I can't stand the loud noise in the city. neutral Yes, sometimes I can hardly get asleep at night. neutral I hope I can stay here longer. neutral When will your vacation end? neutral The day after tomorrow. neutral

Oh! It has only half a month left.

What time? surprise! It is only half a month since you arrived. You

neutral Yup. neutral Where did you go? neutral True, a sea food restaurant. disgust True? The food is terrible. neutral I didn't notice. I don't really even know what I ate. surprise

You are kidding, but that sounds bad!

What are we talking about? 120 yuan, that much. But the soup looks

happiness Use this lipstick and it will make your lips shine! happiness Great! Uh, remember that there's a gift exchange, too. We all have to bring a gift. happiness I've already got mine. happiness ( At the Party ) It's Christmas Eve! Time to open presents! happiness Here! Open mine first. happiness

Thanks for getting me an iPod, Mary!

Oh, my god! You really went out of you way for her. Wow. Thank you

happiness Yeah, too cool. How much did they sold you for? happiness Lots. Looks like I'll have to moonlight for the next two years. happiness I can imagine. happiness Hey, let's go for a spin. You can try it out. happiness I'd love to. happiness

Wow, that is some kind-a cool stuff!

Here, hold your end of this. Keep left... Now right! Whoa! What was those

neutral It ’ s half past twelve. neutral When do you have lunch? neutral From one to two. neutral What do you normally eat? neutral We usually go to the cafeteria. neutral

Which is more convenient, going home during lunch or coming back afterwards? Do they serve food there

Have you had your breakfast? disgust Oh yes! I hate having a

neutral If I have time, I will come again. neutral You are welcome at any time. neutral Thank you for your hospitality. I hope I didn ’ t cause you too much trouble during my stay. neutral You are most welcome. neutral I ’ m afraid I have to go now. The plane will take off soon. neutral

Keep up with me then.

Keep in touch! happiness Goodbye. Have nice day... and good bye,

neutral I was sick that day, and couldn't make it. neutral Well, here are the notes. neutral Are there any more? neutral Sorry, here you go. happiness Thanks a lot. happiness

Don't mention them again, okay?

No problem. sadness What did they have on them? It wasn ’ t

neutral What kind of winter sport do you like best? neutral My favorite winter sport is skiing. In addition, I am keen on basketball. neutral What do you like doing in your spare time? neutral I like doing aerobics in my spare time. It's good for my health. neutral Do you have any hobbies? neutral

As far as I know. most Chinese children are interested in collecting antiques, reading and painting

Yes, reading history book and playing golf. happiness Your muscles are well-

neutral Do you like it here? neutral I really like it here so far. neutral Do you like it better here or at PCC? neutral I like PCC better. neutral If that ’ s the case, then why did you leave? neutral

Because there is a new school opening up around my neighborhood. So, i want to take advantage of

Because your school is too expensive! surprise What? That sounds crazy. How

neutral I am thinking about inviting you to a dinner. When would you have time? And what kind of food do you fancy? happiness That would be great. I am really in the mood for a spicy hotpot. Any special reason for the invitation? happiness To thank you for helping me at work last week. If you would not have been so kind, I would not have been able to pick my parents from the airport. You really did me a big favor. Thank you so much. neutral It was my pleasure. How about this evening? I feel very hungry now. neutral Fine, I know a good hotpot place in the downtown area, food there is pretty spicy too. Shall we try that one? neutral

Surely, if all goes well.

Ok with us. Do they take reservations? surprise Oh no, it

happiness What a beautiful day! happiness It is really gorgeous out today. I remembered the weatherman said it is supposed to rain. neutral I heard that it's supposed to get up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit today. surprise Really? That's unusual for October, isn't it? neutral Well, you could never tell about the weather here in New York. neutral

You know what they say--If tomorrow has two names, one should stay inside. And if

Let ’ s go sit outside and enjoy some sunshine. How does it look like on your

neutral As far as I know, people will be weak if they swim too long. neutral That's right. But the most dangerous thing is that their legs may spasm out of control when swimming. neutral Is it very dangerous? I'm a little scared. Do you offer the lifebuoy for us? neutral Yes, besides that, we also provide our customers with goggles, swimming suit and something like that. neutral Do you have the workers to save me if anything should happen? neutral

We always have some men on duty waiting around your pool. If there were an accident, he would

Well, in my case. We are all super-men! No matter what happened during swimming

neutral My character is in question. Someone was robbed at work and unless I have an alibi, I'm a suspect. surprise Oh, my goodness. Who do I need to talk to? neutral My employer. Can you come in to the office tomorrow? neutral Absolutely. I think I still have the boarding passes from our flight here somewhere. neutral That would be the real proof. Didn't we have to show ID to get on the plane? neutral

Yes. But it has all been lost, so whatever happens today will happen based only upon your statement

Ha, ha! 1 had funny jokes for that one. But yeah-you could

neutral Oh, it's a disco. Let's dance. happiness You're a good dancer. neutral Thank you. Now they are playing a rumba. Would you have a try? neutral Sorry. I feel like sitting out the next dance. happiness OK. Let's get something to drink. happiness

It looks great here, don't you think?

Do you prefer orange- juice or lemon soup ? 0 disgust

neutral I heard that Kevin got divorced. Is that true? neutral Not so bad, but Kevin does have problems with his wife. surprise What? neutral His wife always complained that Kevin's salary was too low and got no promotion. neutral Poor Kevin, we should do something for him. He is a nice guy and does his job well. neutral

Yeah, you are right.

Yeah, let's go to the party tomorrow night! happiness Thanks.

neutral Tomorrow is my wife's birthday. We both love spicy Chinese dishes. I am wondering if you could recommend a good local restaurant where I can find some good spicy dishes. neutral Well, if spicy local dishes are what you are looking for, In Hua Restaurant is the best place to go. The restaurant serves very good and spicy local dishes. You might want to try there. neutral How far is it from here? neutral It is near the university. Five minutes'walk from your flat, I think. happiness Great. We'll go and have a try. Thank you very much. happiness

No problem at all.

Welcome. neutral Hey! Do you need our business number? Please call this phone

happiness Why don ’ t we go the cinema tonight? happiness That sounds good but I don ’ t know what ’ s on. happiness I think there ’ s a very romantic new film starring Hugh Grant. Let ’ s go and see that. happiness Ok, that ’ s a good idea. Where shall we meet? happiness Well how about meeting at my place? happiness

Sure, it's great.

Sure! Do you live in your parent'sa home by any chance? neutral

neutral I want my hair to be only a few inches long. neutral Do you really want it that short? neutral Yes, I've been wanting it short for a while now. neutral If you really want me to, then I'll do it. neutral I'm absolutely sure that this is what I want. neutral

You know, if your mom doesn ’ t like the way that she usually has her hair done.

Okay. sadness My sister told her mom all about our wedding, and

neutral Oh, yes, your parents live there, don't they? neutral Yes, that's right. neutral Where are you going to live after you're married? neutral We're going to buy a flat or a small house somewhere in South London. neutral Are you going to give up your job? neutral

Of course I am.

Of course I won ’ t. My husband isn' t working, is he? He doesn

happiness Welcome, Li Mei. Please give me your coat and hat. happiness Thank you, Peter. happiness Oh, let's come in and enjoy yourself. happiness Happy birthday, Peter, and many happy returns of the day. Here's a present for you. happiness Thank you, Li Mei. Come into the dining room. I'm going to cut the cake soon. neutral

Do sit down here, will you?

Let's go. sadness My goodness, what happened! That

neutral Do you use your bank to pay your utility bills? I use direct debit. neutral Yes, I do. It save me a lot of time. I also have standing orders for my subscriptions to magazines. happiness That ’ s good idea. You don ’ t need to worry about missing an issue of a magazine if you do that. I suppose you have a mortgage too. neutral Yes. My bank offers very good terms and conditions on mortgage. There ’ s a lot of competition between banks nowadays. Each one is trying to offer better conditions and services than the others. neutral I have a deposit account with my bank. There are some restrictions on withdrawing money, but the interest rate is much higher. neutral

How does it work. Are they different from other kinds? For example, how should I decide when

What kind? Of savings or current account. surprise Really, you

neutral I am not sure what to do during the holidays, any suggestions? neutral Well, going to a cinema, visiting the galleries, exhibitions and museums, finding and meeting old friends, exercising in the health club or mountain biking. There are so many good choices. neutral The problem is that I find all of them are full of fun. I just don ’ t know what to do first. neutral Why not start with the most interesting one? neutral Actually, I ’ m interested in all of them. The more choices we have, the harder to make a decision. neutral

It seems that you like making life easier by doing several things at once?

It sounds like you need an Exciting, unforgettable trip. How about hone

neutral Yes. I ’ Ve read news about him in today ’ s paper. happiness And he ’ s bright and intelligent. I ’ m sure he can pass the university entrance exam. neutral I wish he could too. neutral How ’ s your boy, Jack? neutral He ’ s a bit tired, you know. It often takes him a couple of hours to brush up. neutral

That's true with my child as well, it seems they always sleep 10 hours every

Well. You needn't tell me that! 0 neutral? Why not.

neutral You're from New York, aren't you? neutral Yes, that's right. neutral What do you suggest I should see in New York? neutral Well, how about the Museum of Modern Art? neutral No, I don't like museums.They're boring. neutral

OK, what else is there to see?

How would a dinner at Chez Cheng work? surprise Oh! Is it

neutral It was many years ago, when I was a little child. It was the middle of the night, and I went to get a drink of water from the kitchen. I walked out of my room and was at the top of the stairs, when... neutral So that's where you saw the ghost? In your house? What did it look like? Was it hideous? neutral It was a big, green thing that looked like a person. It was in the kitchen, and it slowly moved towards the stairs... neutral So what did you do? neutral I hid so that it couldn't see me. Slowly it got closer and closer, until... neutral

And then? The rest is history!

Until... what? You didn' t tell us! disgust The rest,

neutral I bought it. I got a watch, too. The company that sells this car has a car club. neutral Where you can buy lots of paraphernalia? happiness Yeah, and meet other drivers of the same car! happiness Cool! neutral I know girls love this kind of car. Look, it's got a sunroof! Imagine... a cool, starry night... neutral

So, is there any extra space in our garage? Do they come along on weekend drive

And your girlfriend in nothing but her highheels? That sounds hot! neutral

neutral Oh my god! It's 10:00 pm. I have to go. neutral Can ’ t you stay a little longer? neutral I am afraid not. happiness Say hi to your parents for me. I hope to see them soon. happiness Thank you. Well, if you ever pass my home, please drop in. happiness

Good luck. And take care of yourself.

Ok, will do. Bye! Ben... Goodbye! Please say hi to Lily for

neutral Yes. Yesterday. surprise Good gracious. That ’ s incredible! neutral She married Jerrod. surprise You ’ re kidding. surprise She ’ s going to live in Paris. surprise

I cannot believe that. It is amazing

I cannot imagine it! disgust It sounds too fantastic. Maybe you

neutral Have you taken your temperature? neutral No, not yet, but I do feel a little feverish. neutral How long have you been feeling this way? neutral Only since this morning. neutral Oh, probably you've been working too hard. neutral

Why haven't the pills done anything?

What should we take for the cold? Can we buy any medicine at our pharmacy without an

neutral I noticed that too. What are the people learning? neutral In my country, they are usually studying something business-related, such as marketing, management techniques, and human resource management. neutral I think that jobs in the leisure industry will become more popular in the future. neutral That trend has already begun in my country. In particular, there ’ s a big demand for people to work in fitness centers. Which kinds of jobs are less in demand? neutral Those in traditional fields, such as agriculture and heavy industry. Younger people are not interested in doing those jobs and other countries have industries that can produce things much cheaper. neutral

Our biggest issue is finding good teachers. Because so few young people now study history, art or music

It is very interesting! We haven't discussed all these jobs yet. Let's finish

neutral What do you think about Cold Wind? neutral I like it as well, but I don't think it's as good as Sweet Heart. neutral So No. 4 is your favorite. Which one don't you like? neutral Well. I don't like Your Lips very much. neutral Why? neutral

Because the words are too touching.

It sounds a little too sweet. But all the songs in this album really sound pretty to me,

neutral what kinds of decisions do you leave to other people? neutral there are basic decisions like which restaurant to go to. I can never seem to choose. I let my parents make big decisions for me. They chose my university and my course. I ended up studying something neutral your parents will be choosing your girlfriend if you aren ’ t careful! Why don ’ t you try being more decisive? Start with some basic ones. When your friends are discussing which restaurant to eat at, mak neutral that ’ s a good idea. You ’ re very decisive, I ’ Ve noticed. So, which bar are we going to this evening? neutral I can ’ t make a decision. You ’ ll have to put forward an idea. neutral

ok, how about the one on the high street? That is quite conveniently near the office.

Ok, how about getting dressed? happiness

neutral I've got to put together a sales pitch to give to our clients in the morning. You always give such amazing presentations, I was hoping you could give me some advice about how to win them over tomorrow. neutral Sure, it's easy. First of all, the secret to a successful oral presentation is to keep things simple. People are listening and they usually don't have a long attention spans. Stick to about three or four points, give an overview of the points, then present them one by one, and then summarize at the end. Be straightforward and organized and you're sure to be remembered. neutral What kind of visuals should I use to support the presentation? Do you think I should use PowerPoint? neutral You should consider the size and interests of your audience. In other words, who is listening, and what do they want to hear... you can put together a PPT with some graphics and animations that will catch people's attention, but be careful not to go overboard. neutral I think I can put something together, no problem. But when it comes to tomorrow, I'll just be a bundle of nerves! How can I get over my fear of speaking in public? neutral

Well, there really isn't any single solution. It takes practice and time... and maybe also

Well, first off. relax! Relax... take it seriously-a few hours study up on

neutral I know education is expensive, but it's been my lifelong dream. Call me crazy, but I've always wanted to have that PhD at the end of my name. neutral Well, getting a Doctorate degree would mean close to a decade of school. Can you afford that? Can you survive that? neutral I certainly can't afford it, but I'm sure I could find some good student loans. neutral I think you need to separate the dream of having a PhD from the reality of years of more schooling. It's not as romantic as you might think. neutral Yeah... I keep thinking about what I'll do with a Master's or Doctorate. I love language but I don't think there are a lot of well-paying jobs out there for experts on Shakespeare. neutral

Maybe your interest should turn toward becoming an expert in English. There has just come up another position called

What else has your attention, Mr. Bellow? surprise Oh... God

neutral But you ’ re in China. Are you planning on going home for Christmas? neutral Yeah, so I have to buy presents for everyone before I leave. neutral Why not just give them money in red envelopes? That would be much easier. neutral Americans don ’ t like giving money, they prefer presents you buy for them. So I have to figure out what to buy for all of my family and friends. neutral I've got it. I won ’ t bother you any more. You ’ d better hurry to do it, Christmas is just around the corner. happiness

Thank a lot. Wish me luck!

OK, no problem. Don't ask me how many gifts this costs--Just keep bu

neutral For example? neutral Like for example, if I hadn ’ t studied architecture, I would have become an artist like I wanted to. neutral I see. Yeah now that I think of it, I wouldn ’ t have gotten married if I hadn ’ t moved to this town and met Sally. happiness You see! Everything happens for a reason! We wouldn ’ t even have met if I hadn ’ t been in that car accident ten years ago! happiness Well, I have no regrets! happiness

That is very good.

Exactly! That brings me to the question. What did you do when your mom told she wasn

neutral I am new to this school and not familiar with this library. Can you help me? neutral Certainly. What's your topic? neutral I'm looking for information on tropical fish. neutral All right. You can use the computer over there, enter'tropical fish'under subject. If you know the title of the book, enter it under'title' happiness Great, thank you. neutral

This computer doesn't have access because it has no internet. Is anyone here? Please come in

Here is a card which will give out all books on tropical sea. Do read everything in each bo

disgust I hate landing in the sand trap! Now I'm probably going to waste strokes getting it out. neutral At least you haven't landed in the water yet. I've done that on the last two holes. neutral Could you hand me my wedge? I'll try... neutral Here you go. I'll wait for you to get on the green before I putt. neutral No. you go ahead and putt it out. Then I'Il go. neutral

You really think you need help with these short shots? Maybe you should work on your long game

Good. You can have another drink, too!

neutral by the way, how long does it take? neutral without traffic, it takes about an hour. neutral I heard the Great Wall closes early in the afternoon. Do you think I can make it before closing? neutral yes, I think so. It doesn ’ t close until 5 o ’ clock. You still have plenty of time. happiness great! Thank you! happiness

no problem, ma'am. Have a good trip!

we are almost there. We won't need our car today, right? Can's walk

neutral You said it. You know, they fall in love at first sight and quickly jumped into marriage. neutral Maybe they were just attracted to each other but too different to be married. neutral Yeah. We Chinese have quite different lifestyles and values from foreigners. neutral Definitely. That's why many cross-cultural marriages end in divorce. neutral We've heard so much about Chinese film stars divorcing foreigners. neutral

Many do, actually.

But we shouldn ’ t use that as the standard. There must be lots of successful mixed marri

neutral well, I work in the marketing department. The corporate culture is totally different from my last employer. Before, when I was assigned a task, I was totally on my own but here most of the work is don neutral that's really good. It's very important to feel like you are part of the team at work. neutral indeed. Team work is highly valued in this new company. I like our boss too. He is easy to get along with treats everybody with respect and appreciation. He's highly respected by all his employees. happiness that's great, that's good for a positive work environment and helps motivate employees. I wish my boss was like that. neutral true, take my former supervisor as an example. He was extremely controlling and overbearing. He always had to micromanage everything. happiness

it seems we ’ re lucky, then.

yes he did have some bad habts. Anyway, your new working environment sounds more relax than mine

neutral No-one really believes gossip columnists. neutral I think you ’ ll find that many people believe what they read in gossip columns. You ’ d also have to be very careful about every word you said. If you appeared on a chat show and said something silly, it neutral I think you ’ re right about that. I ’ d need a good manager to be my spokesperson. I could do a lot of charity work, which would help a lot of people. happiness That ’ s a great idea.

happiness But I also heard some people didn't like her music. I don't understand why. She is so amazing! happiness Well, I suppose people have different tastes on music. Moreover, here stuff is really strong and creative. It takes time for people to accept new things. happiness You are right. Anyway, things will be different as the days go on. She can get it. I have faith in her. happiness Sure. That makes a good fan. Do you know what songs she is gonna sing tonight? happiness Here is the programme. Check it out yourself! happiness

Oh, that seems cool.

Hey. This girl is pretty cute, isn'd you say? dis

neutral What's the make of your camera? neutral Olympus. neutral Do you own your own darkroom? neutral No, usually I get my films developed at a photo studio, but I make my own enlargements. neutral Why? neutral

Exciting to do so! disgust The pictures are always different from

neutral Lester, you are really fantastic at automobile repair. neutral Thanks, June. But I think I need to be certified as a mechanic 5 before I ’ m allowed to repair cars for a living. neutral That ’ s not a big problem. There are many small schools for adults like you who can study to be certified. neutral I guess I never thought of that before. neutral And you can easily get a student loan from a vocational school, or from the government. happiness

Good, thanks for letting me know.

So cool! What would it be, an automatic?

neutral But don't you want to study music? Shouldn't it be easy? neutral It should be, but there are too many options. My grades are good enough that I have a lot of choices, but after that... neutral I know. You have to decide if you want to attend a school in a city or in the country, a big school or a small school, a public or private school... neutral Yup, you understand. And my parents are trying to pressure me into going to a Catholic college. They both attended one and think that it combines a good education with good discipline. And the tuition is usually pretty low. neutral I see. Well, don't forget to talk to the college counselor at the school. He usually gives good advice and can help point you in the right direction. He gave me some information, and next week I'm going to take a look at some of the colleges he recommended. happiness

That sounds like an excellent idea.

Great. Do tell me how it goes, all right?

neutral and you don't have to work under that much pressure and control. happiness absolutely. I can decide when and what to do all by myself. neutral sounds great. Are there many business opportunity? neutral yeah, I can find enough online. neutral it's good to have business around. But you should also do some exercise to keep fit. neutral

well. What about taking courses or working as a part-time employee? You need more practical experience

yes. Exciting! You are a good teacher, Steven... disgust

neutral Take care of Pamela when I am away. She is a nice girl. I don't want her to get hurt or anything. neutral I've got it. happiness Thank you. Now I see that you are my true friend. Most of my so-called friends left me at the moment my company went bankrupt. You are the only one who has stood by me the whole time. happiness I am just doing what I think I should do. happiness Thank you for being a friend of mine. happiness

Keep in touch.

It ’ s nothing. Please keep your eye on Pamela, OK ? That she doesn'

It's OK, I guess.

OK.It's a kind-of life. happiness It's great

neutral I said that, didn't I? But I just don't know what to do with it. neutral You're in one of those in-between stages, aren't you. neutral Yes, it's not short enough to be wash-and-go and not long enough to do anything fancy. neutral Have you thought about wearing a hat? neutral Everywhere I go? neutral

There must have been a reason why the woman behind us left here so quickly. She certainly did look

That works for me, so why couldn'... OK! 0 happiness Look at

neutral Didn't you say you were planning a trip to China? I heard the northwest and north of China are experiencing severe sandstorms! neutral I was planning to go to Beijing first and then go to northwest China! Looks like I'm in trouble. neutral Definitely. I heard Beijing was experiencing seven degree strong winds! That is nearly a record high! neutral No way! I don't think I've ever encountered winds that strong! Are the storms affecting land and air transportation? neutral Absolutely! I don't think any planes are going anywhere. The sand being blown around has cut visibility in Beijing to less than 100 meters. But inseems Gansu Province is being hit the hardest. neutral

Have people started moving out their children yet? What can be done about it besides just waiting until after

Exactly where my journey begins! It would be nice to visit an open-air museum---the

neutral How might you spend the weekend. neutral I hope to do a little gardening. I find it very relaxing. neutral I might do that too. I hope the weather is nice. I could go and play some golf. neutral I heard that the weather should be good.

neutral That's too much for us really. neutral Where are you going now? neutral I'm going to try to find out where the school is located. neutral When do you start school? neutral I'm going to register right now. neutral

What about your friend from America?

You have no idea how hard it is to move around. sadness Hey!

neutral Well, what about it? As it happens I've got two tickets for next thursday evening. I thought perhaps. neutral Well, thanks all the same, Denise. But no I don't think.Sorry, I'm sure you would enjoy it.

Yes, that might be possible.

Thanks a lot, karren. sadness What a shame! Too many

neutral Were you in or out? Can you remember that? neutral I'm not quite positive. I think I went out at about half pass nine. neutral Did you see anyone come into the block flats? neutral No, I didn't. neutral Sure? neutral

Of course it wasn't.

neutral Hey, Joe! Where have you been these past few days? neutral I ’ Ve been busy with a first aid course that I started about a week ago at the Red Cross. neutral Cool! I ’ Ve always wanted to do something like that! Have you learned anything useful? neutral For sure!

Could we meet somewhere near the hotel? You know, my company requires that all business travelers wear

Exciting! Can we use the line right away now or should I wait a few minutes?

neutral But I work hard all the time for long hours. Often I have no time for lunch. Yet, I am still getting fatter. neutral Bill, you know that work is not the same as exercise as it is stressful but not relaxing. And skipping meals will not help you lose weight. In fact your body will only store fat if you miss meals. neutral I know you're right, but what can I do? neutral How about going for a walk instead of sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper after dinner every night? neutral But I'll miss the news. It's important in my business to keep up with events in China. neutral

Keep doing whatever exercises and eating healthy diet. That should solve your problems

Why don't we try something new like taking part at a dance class? You are fit and

happiness I sure am. So what about you? How did you feel when you graduated? neutral It was also a proud day for me, but I also felt like a kind of loss that day. neutral How could it be? neutral While seeing others going to work or continue their study, I didn't know what I would do. neutral You didn't have an offer? neutral

No, nothing. But my parents promised the company where they were doing their internships might hire

neutral John's father got married again. neutral Married whom? neutral If I tell you., you must be completely taken aback. neutral Come on. Tell me what happened. neutral He married a girl who is only eighteen! surprise

Oh! You cannot be true, can you?

That can't be true. disgust But it really does happen that

neutral How many languages can you speak? neutral I can speak French and German. neutral How well can you speak them? neutral I can speak German quite well, but I can't speak French very well. neutral Can you help me to translate these sentences into German now? neutral

No. We have a class this Saturday ; then maybe next time we can take it from there.

Sorry, my English isn ’ t good enough. disgust The answer is so

neutral There are so many record players here.That is hard to choose. neutral Look at this one.It has a radio and cassette player and built in speakers. neutral I'd rather get one with separated speakers.They give a clear sound. neutral Yes, but we shouldn't get any thing too big.Remember it has to fit in with our living room furniture. neutral That's right.Now this one looks alright? It's a detached or do you prefer this one? It's Sony. neutral

Oh, let's look at the catalogue.

Oh, no. Those two brands never seem bo be quite the same anyway!

neutral I bet they love it really. Sure, they complain about it, but that just gets them more publicity, doesn ’ t it? neutral I think that few of the show biz stars want any publicity for themselves. They only want it for their films. anger No way! They want publicity for themselves, so that they get invited to make more films, go to lots of cocktail parties, and even make albums! They have such an easy life. They don ’ t even pay for Drin neutral Show biz stars have plenty of expenses. That ’ s why they need so much money. They need million of dollars to buy big, seclude houses and wonderful dresses. I bet most show biz stars would prefer to Wea anger I don ’ t understand how you can have any sympathy for show biz stars. They ’ re overpaid, over-ambitious, and over-adored. neutral

Well, we cannot blame a man for having nice clothes or staying in hotels all night

What did we use to be like. Anyway? disgust Oh! Just

neutral So you asked him about the girl who called? neutral Yeah, he first said it was someone from work. He gave me a lame excuse, and so I pressed him on it. neutral What'd he do? neutral He kept trying to make stupid excuses, and then broke down and admitted to a small indiscretion. surprise Indiscretion? How can an indiscretion last two months? I mean, you two have been married for two years! How can he do that to you? neutral

It is what it is, honey.

You know, when we were dating there wasn ’ t such talk of getting pregnancies

neutral Are you sure? I've read a lot about palmistry and I've been able to tell a lot of accurate things about a person from his palm. Do you want me to take a look at your hand? neutral Really? You've read books about it? Ok, then. But only if you want to. neutral Ok, let's see, well, you've got a long life line, which is good, and the love line is strong... neutral What else do you see? Will I be successful? Will I make a lot of money? neutral Hmm, hard to say, wait, yes, it looks like you will do well in business, and your ambition will help you a lot, but... neutral

Oh, no! It also says that you might have trouble with some friends or family. And maybe

Yes,? sadness Oh! God! It seems my grandpa was very

surprise Predictable! How! Come on Dick, It ’ s a G-rated movie! It ’ s for the kids! It ’ s not a thriller! neutral Well, that ’ s just it. It did have some very dramatic and intense scenes For example when Mufasal dies, or the dark, grim portrayal of Scar. Even so, the film is linear. Mufasal dies, Simba runs away thinking it ’ s his fault. Falls in love and returns to retake what is rightfully his. It ’ s just too cliche. surprise How can it be cliche? It ’ s a fable! It ’ s telling a time-honoured story! The movie make a point of how the hunger for power leads to corruption, and teaches children the value of respect, life and love. neutral You have always been so soft, Dave! neutral Open your heart Dick. Don ’ t shut us out. neutral

I guess you are more hard-minded than me ; although i think this should still go down

Ok. But why are you even going! Didn 1t we all promise last night,

neutral Hi, Walter! neutral Hi, Sterling! neutral What do you think of our new teacher? neutral Professor Wood? I think he's a brilliant scientist. neutral You're got a point there. But do you think he's a little absent-minded? neutral

That could be the result

He does look kinda'out to space, doesn't he?

neutral I stayed online chatting with friends all night. It was great fun. neutral I don't understand. You don't even know the'friends'you are'talking'to! neutral It is better I don't know them. So I can say anything I want. neutral Do you believe what they say? neutral Who cares? It's just online. It's not real. Do you want to join me tonight? neutral

What do you think it will be like?

No way. What would we do? happiness Oh... Hey! Look, your

neutral Hi, Lander. What's wrong? neutral I can hardly make ends meet these days. neutral Same here. I have't brought any new clothes for three months. neutral My income remains the same but prices just continue to rise. neutral True. The news says that there is a general increase in the price of daily necessities. neutral

Exactly my feeling, too.

We really do need more cash. Maybe we should sell this car and put some money into invest

neutral I'm sorry to hear that. Have you been looking for another job? sadness I just started, but the job market is very bad right now. I'm not optimistic about it. neutral That's tough. What does your wife think about this? neutral She's trying to be supportive, but I can tell she is very worried about our financial situation as well. happiness I have some friends who might be able to help you find a job. I'll see what they can do. happiness

Good luck on your test. We need everyone to pass!
