What time are you planning to start? happiness Oh, good. If you could come around six thirty or seven o'clock, that would give us some time to chat a whit over a glass of wine before dinner. happiness

neutral He ’ ll be a teenager before you know it! Teenagers are often rebellious! When do you think it is a good age to have a child? neutral I had mine when I was 24. that ’ s a little young. I ’ d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties., or even in your early thirties if you have a good career. happiness Yes, I think you ’ re right. I ’ m thinking about having a child, but not just yet. neutral Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country? neutral Yes, there is. Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives. They want to go out, have fun, and explore the world. They want to develop their own view of life. Parents usually try to discourage them, but they don ’ t often succeed. neutral

You said he will be very busy with work after his graduation. How can you manage doing everything

It sounds like an expensive hobby! Do you get any financial help from your family for such

happiness That's helpful. Thanks. But what do you think about philosophy. I wanted to take that class this semester. neutral I took that class last year. The professor is really cool, so if you go to his office, you can have him sign a card that will let you in even if the class is full. neutral He does that? neutral I guess that's because so many people drop out of that class. happiness That makes sense.

You should face the reality. neutral That's only a joke. To be honest, I have to improve my English, because my English is not good enough. I still get confused about some simple grammars. Since you are quite good at it, do you have any suggestions? neutral En, first you should be concentrated on what the teacher said in class. Second, I suggest you to take an additional course in some training center. neutral

Maybe later. neutral Let me give you an idea of what ours will be

neutral You know, smoking does do harm to your health. neutral Yes, you're right. neutral Why don't you try to give it up? neutral I've tried to give up smoking several times, but it's no good. Smoking relaxes me. neutral Have you ever thought of just cutting down? You could do it gradually. neutral

No. But now that we have a baby, the whole family should stop this bad habit at once

Cut back, perhaps. But for the moment, let's enjoy what we have now!

neutral lt sounds like the story of my life. neutral Yes, it does, doesn't it? But this man was always over-tired, and he couldn't sleep.So he used to take two sleeping pill every night. neutral I take sleeping pills sometimes. neutral Yes, but not two every night. Anyway, the strain was too much for him. He had nervous breakdown and had to go to hospital. neutral It sounds a very depressing film. neutral

Well you know what they say, if one thing goes wrong another takes its place. That is exactly

There is a large swimming pool, but it is only available in summer. neutral I do envy you. And I hope I can enter your school one day. happiness

We welcome all students.

Well, good luck with that! neutral How about going over here next Saturday afternoon

neutral Do you think of television though as a great time-waster? neutral Un... I think it can be a time-waster and it depends on how particular people are about what they want to see... Mm, it can just be a sort total amusement for someone and totally consuming without reallyconsidering what it is they're watching. neutral Aha, but how do you prevent it coming into your life and taking oversour evenings and at the same time perhaps get... get out of thetelevision some of the sort of best things... best programmes that... that undoubtedly are on television? neutral Well, I suppose one of the problems is... will depend on what a person's life style is, and that if he has other outside interests which are equally important to him as television, he will then, you know, hmm. be more careful about which programme she wants to watch because he has time which he wants to use for other things. neutral Do you think though that... that in... in a sense television skilled people's own er... sort of, creativity or their ability entertain themselves because if they're bored all they do is justturn on the television? neutral

Oh, yeah. That would certainly be true.But again this doesn't have any direct relationship

Absolutely. It becomes almost an exquisite kinda thing now, where we don ’

neutral Yes, I've got that part covered. neutral When, exactly do you need to leave? neutral I don't need to leave until the very end of class. neutral Fine, but next time try and not have to miss class again. happiness Thanks, Professor. See you later! happiness

neutral Hi, Cindy. I thought I ’ d missed you. neutral Oh, I am very sorry, Hans. Thank you for waiting for me. You must have been here a long time already. neutral It ’ s all right. neutral I was caught in the heavy rain, or I would have come earlier. I am sorry I kept you waiting. happiness I was in a comfortable place, so really, it ’ s no problem. I am happy to see you. Did the rain hold you up long? neutral

Well... yeah. But also, because my friend and I had an issue with someone else yesterday evening

No, fortunatelyly. My friend and I had an early lunch, we could get

happiness Yes, it is. The sun is shining. There is no wind, only a pleasant breeze. neutral It is the best season for a picnic right now. Have you decided the place for your picnic? neutral We have decided to go to the park this Sunday. Would you like to go with us if you have not decided yet? neutral What did the whetherman say? neutral He ’ s predicting clear skies. neutral

I will take an umbrella just in case.

I guess we will be lucky that day. happiness Oh, yes, and

neutral Yes, I am applying on it. neutral I wonder if I could enroll in it. I know it is a graduate course and I'm a junior, but... neutral Aren't you a bit young? I have a lot of qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up. neutral I know, but the geology of the American west is my major interest and I have done a large reading in the field. neutral Well, if you think you are ready, I'll let you enroll. happiness

That's great.Thank-you very much.

Thank you very much. neutral You must prepare fully one hundred pages for your paper

happiness I'm happy to hear that, but publishing is more than just talking to writers. it involves a lot of work, patience and responsibility. Most of the work is boring. happiness I don't feel bored at all. I'm getting along with my colleagues. I will enjoy working with them. People are great in this industry. neutral Do you have any complaints? neutral No, I have no complaints. I hear there are many opportunities to move up in this company. is that true? happiness Yes, you have many opportunities to grow in this company as long as you do well. happiness

It seems interesting.

Exactly. disgust Oh! This job requires so much hard works,

neutral I don't think we've met. neutral No, I don't think we have. neutral My name is Dick Brown. neutral How do you do? Mr. Brown. I am Susan Heywood. neutral Mr. Smith often talked about you. surprise

You can go alone.

How long do you think it took for us to reach her? neutral About half

neutral Oh, what kind of music do you listen to? happiness Classic. Something that could calm your mind. happiness I think that might work for me as well. neutral Working out is another good way to relieve anger. neutral Like what? neutral

You can go jogging in the morning.

Why? What did he say about the woman in this case. He said, "

neutral Taylor, you're sweating up a storm! neutral Your boyfriend, Bryan, wanted to toss the football. I think he wore me out. neutral Yeah, you look a little shaky. And pale. You seriously need some time in the sun. neutral You're like the tenth person to say that. neutral We're just worried about you, Taylor. neutral

What do they want, my kidneys?

Why are we...? Oh, right. Because your mom is sick again-what else can be

neutral How did it grow into such a large place? neutral Large deposits of coal were found nearly and so many industries located themselves here. The village quickly grew into a key industrial centre. neutral As the city grew, it must have absorbed many village nearby. neutral Yes, it did. The names of those village survive as the names of parts of the city. neutral I see. Are there any building more than 200 years old in your city? neutral

There are quite several near our present Cathedral. Several from about two months to four month s ago

Several. They're always spa-This is our local newspaper, with all that kind off

neutral What's the problem? You don't look happy. sadness I failed my oral test. neutral How come? neutral I'm not practicing enough. neutral Why don't you go to the English corner to talk to your classmates in English quite often? neutral

Maybe that'll work.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea! But what can i say? happinesso

neutral I'm not sure. He just broke up with his girlfriend recently, and I don't think he's in the mood to start again so soon. neutral But we can't have thirteen for dinner! neutral I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It's only a superstition. It really doesn't mean anything. anger Absolutely not! I refuse to have thirteen people for dinner on Friday! neutral Ok, ok. I'll ask my sister to come. That way we'll have fourteen for dinner. neutral

So, it is going back two years then. You had seven guests at your birthday party that

Oh, good. Now it should be OK... happiness Excellent! We

neutral I don't think so, Maria, but I think you can look for information on the Internet. neutral OK, thank you, Shirley. You are very helpful. I have another question. When does the Economic Law of China come into effect? neutral Oh, there isn't such a code called economic law. The Economic Law of China is a general concept for several laws. neutral There isn't such a code? neutral Yes, it's a general name for several laws related to economics, like Commercial Law, and Law of Central Bank. happiness

Thank you, Peter. See you around!

Well, that makes things much easier for everybody.

neutral Oh, I've heard about him before. He even created a special dance of sleeve shaking. happiness You are such an expert on it. I don't know that. neutral You know, interest is the best teacher. happiness So, want me to book the tickets again? happiness Please do that. I can't wait to come back again. The performance must be really amazing. happiness

Yes, maybe we have more fun later.

Exactly. surprise What? Why so crazy all over these old men in

surprise You can ’ t be serious! neutral I ’ m serious. neutral Are you all right? sadness NYU was my first choice. sadness I ’ m sorry that you didn ’ t get in. neutral

neutral You are going to take courses? neutral Yes. I am going to take some university courses there. neutral Sounds hard. neutral Yes, but I think it's probably for the best. neutral Won't you get lonely? neutral

Not really. The classes have a very low student-to teacher ratio, so each course has about

Hey, this isn ’ t all on me. sadness Oh dear! How

neutral So did i. that's why i didn't take my umbrella. i got cold in the rain in the afternoon.it was raining cats and dogs. neutral I know. i could not believe it when i got hit by that storm.it was pouring with rain all afternoon. neutral We really have some miserable weather sometime. i wish i would live somewhere which were sunning all year round. neutral If it was sunning all year round there would be drought.you probably would not like it either. neutral I guess you are right. maybe i just wish the weather could be a little more predictable. neutral

It is easier to plan for.

Well this is England, we can never rely count on good weather for very long dis

neutral What ’ s your new job like? neutral Oh, it ’ s fine. I ’ Ve got a very nice secretary and a large pleasant office. neutral Um. neutral And a company car. happiness Very nice. neutral

neutral That's pretty harsh. neutral I know, but I was so upset. I mean, come on! Does she have to do everything her boyfriend says? neutral You know she probably feels just as bad. neutral Well, I think I was being a little selfish myself. I know they don't get to see each other very often. neutral Well, in that case I guess maybe you can be more understanding. You shouldn't let a trivial thing like this stand in the way of your friendship. After all you can go to the beach anytime you want. neutral

It seems Americans really take their family time seriously. People here are much less open-minded when

Hey! What about our plans for dinner tonight? anger Oh yeah, and

neutral No. You are just burning yourself out these days. Have a good rest and you will feel energetic again. neutral One of my friends took the Adult College Entrance Exam last year. He filled the school column with his name, and his score was relinquished. neutral How could he make such a silly mistake? neutral He said he hadn't taken any exams for ten years, and couldn't get used to it immediately. He was extremely nervous then. neutral He lost a very good chance to go to college, didn't he? neutral

I guess so. But now, in hind sight...

Yes. I think so too 。 Now we can see what is important to young adults like

OK. Do we need an excuse?

OK! Do we still need our car, though? happiness Let ’ s drive

neutral Don't dis my hair! I like it like this. neutral You like it, but it's getting to be a handicap for you. neutral Hey, that's enough about my hair. neutral I know a great hairdresser not far from here and she is cute too. neutral I don't go to hairdressers because they're cute. neutral

Well, then why do all of these women appear so attractive after visiting her shops.

Well how can anyone take seriously your advised surprise... what? What happened there.

neutral Hello, Tony. Fancy meeting you here. How are things going with you? neutral Not too bad, thanks. And you? neutral Pretty good! How are your parents these days? neutral Oh, they are fine.

neutral Well I have to decide which gifts to keep and which to exchange for better ones when I go to the Boxing Day sales this afternoon! neutral Well could you do me the favor of making this quick? It ’ s the third quarter and you ’ Ve been blabbering on since the first! neutral Oh, your precious game. You watch the same game every year, and each year your beloved hometown team loses by at least three goals! neutral Oh no you didn ’ t. You didn ’ t just insult the Sals-bury Seals, did you? Why don ’ t you just. just go and return all of those stupid clothes and not come back until the sales are over? anger I might just! Enjoy your stupid game! neutral

Look, if anyone calls or sends a message please tell that person I won't be home till

Hey! This is our time to relax with family, without interraction! We can spend a le

neutral There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but they aren't. They break into computers and break the phone system. Real hackers call these people crackers, and want nothing to do with them. neutral So they are two totally different concepts. neutral Well, the real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible and not very bright, and feel that being able to break security does make you a hacker any more than being able to start cars without keys makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word hacker to describe crackers. This irritates real hackers to no end. neutral I see. Then the basic different is, hackers build things, crackers break them. neutral You got it. happiness

Thank you, Steven.

That seems simple enough. disgust But maybe there isn't such thing

neutral Yes, I probably could. neutral You have already missed one other assignment ; when can I expect the make-ups? neutral Next class meeting. neutral That will be soon enough, but make sure you get next week's assignment in as well, all right? neutral That would work for me. happiness

Thank your understanding.

Good. Remember that this course is not a walk over and it requires serious hard works, if you

neutral I ’ m not sure I like the idea of that. I don ’ t want people copying me or other people. It could be very confusing. neutral According to the article, you have no real need to worry. Research nowadays is focussing on cloning parts of a human body to replace damaged or lost parts, not on recreating a whole human. neutral In the future, that could be possible. neutral In this article, scientists say that if you took the genes from someone and tried to create a copy of a person, there ’ s no guarantee that the copy would look or act like the original! surprise Really? What else have you discovered? neutral

There were some interesting articles about elderly people. The average age for women in England, Germany,

The most interesting thing was how different all our copies were! There are over 27 million types

neutral Thanks for helping me up. neutral Are you OK? I didn't mean to put you in danger. neutral I'm the hazardous one here. I made three people fall over! neutral That takes talent... neutral I'm so humiliated! What's that man saying? Everyone's laughing! neutral

Just ignore him. We have lots of new guests this week and everyone has their own ideas about how

Just ignore those jerks... they don't even know your name! dis

neutral How was the party yesterday? neutral Did you enjoy it? disgust Oh, don't talk to me about yesterday! It was the most awful evening I've ever had. surprise Why! what happened? disgust Well.John had promised to be my date, but he stood me up. I waited for a full hour in the cold wind. neutral

Maybe that happens often. Someone says they will meet someone and when they arrive, there is nobody

What do you mean'stood you? dis angery and sadness'He didn

neutral There're a lot of suspicions that the International Space Station is never going to become reality. Is it going to be some future project that never happens? neutral I believe it's certainly for real. It without question has suffered a lot of delays. But there's hardware sitting on the pad right now and it's due to go off in December. It is a reality. It has just taken longer to get literally off the ground. neutral There were a lot of talks during the Bush administration about a not too distant future Mars mission. It seemed to fizzle out. Do you think that this Shuttle mission will reignite the public's passion for space and get us to Mars sooner? neutral I hope this flight is not just a one-time affair, that it does re-ignite people's interest to push on. But only time will tell. neutral You had gone to the moon twice, orbited space around the Earth lots of times, and of course you have had the most amazing views that a human being can have. How long do we ordinary beings have to wait to feel the weightlessness? I just can't wait. neutral

Well, when your own country gets into the business maybe all regular guys like yourself won't need

Exactly what your are saying, Vince! That feeling is hard to put into words. When

neutral I seldom play tennis. I prefer football and basketball. neutral But it is very difficult to gather a team of players together. neutral I usually play with my schoolmates. neutral Do you like watching football matches? neutral Yes, I went to the Than He Sports Center for a football match last Sunday. neutral

What did you do there?

What's your favourite sports? happiness 0 Oh, I enjoy both sw

neutral What is it? Do you want me to read your essay? neutral Yes, if you could. I mean, if you could read it to make sure there are no mistakes.Or maybe you'd have some suggestions. neutral Of course I could read it. That's no problem. But you need to get it to me soon. neutral I will. I want to write the first draft tonight.So I could bring it tomorrow morning. neutral Alright. If you can bring it to me tomorrow morning, I can talk with you after class on Friday.So I'll have some feedback for you before the weekend. happiness

Thanks! It sounds like a plan.

Thanks! You know, this isn't like my English composition paper from 10th grade

neutral Are you close? neutral Yes. He's one of my best friends. Our friendship formed at college. Why did you ask that? neutral I'm going to London on business next week.
