neutral Easier said than done. neutral You can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying hello to her. neutral But I always get tongue-tied when I see her. neutral That's something you need to overcome. Men should make the first move as most of girls prefer being chased. neutral I see. I'll try. happiness

Good luck. Let me know how it works!

It seems like your date has been very good.

neutral Which season do you like best? neutral Spring. neutral How about summer? disgust I dislike it most. neutral Why? neutral

Many people go away on vacation, and all the children are at school so everything is quiet.

Many people are on vacation. happiness That's right! What would be

neutral Where did you go yesterday? neutral I went to Croydon. neutral Did you go shopping? neutral No, I went for an interview. neutral Oh, did you get a job? happiness

Yes, actually! It is so wonderful.

sadness You know, they didn't offer me any opportunity of getting the work done there

surprise Why? I mean, why did she part company with you after seven years together? sadness She said it was because we had very different ideas about life. neutral Do you believe her excuse? sadness Of course not. I knew she had fallen in love with another guy. It is difficult to see her move on so quickly. neutral Come on, buddy, cheer up. Why not do some sports with me? Violent exercise might help to shake you out of your disappointment in love. happiness

Hey, that sounds like a plan.

OK, thanking God for the good sport facilities he has given us. anger

neutral Let's go to a ETV tonight. neutral But I can't sing it well. neutral It doesn't matter. No one will laugh at you. happiness OK, I'Il go with you. When shall we go? neutral What about six? neutral

Yes, and what is our destination?

Good. Where would be your favorite place, then? sadness Sorry,

neutral You're being childish. Your nose will heal. And so will your pride, if you let it. sadness I'll have us ready for Stars.com by the end of next week. After that, I don't know. neutral Don't know what? neutral Let's just say there could be some big changes around here. neutral Is that right? Like what kind of changes? neutral

Exactly how my boss likes to play it.

There is a possibility... happiness Yes! That would make me very happy. It

happiness Oh, how wonderful. I ’ ll be glad to. happiness Okay, now you are a famous star. neutral Hum, don ’ t say that. Maybe you can do something useful for me. surprise What ’ s wrong with you? neutral I ’ ll tell you at the party. neutral

You have said too much about this.

Come on! Don't hesitate, and enjoy yourself.

neutral OK, thanks. neutral Sorry, this biography is over the deadline. You should pay extra for it. neutral I was thinking of buying this from the bookstore when my father got this from the library... anyway, how much should I pay? neutral 3 Yuan, please. neutral Here you are. Thanks. neutral

Keep your eye on what you do and say.

Do you need help finding something else? happiness Very nice of you to ask. Let

neutral there's just going to be 6 of us tonight. neutral oh, I thought there were going to be eight. who isn't coming? neutral Marcia and Paul called to cancel at the last moment. Paul was running late and Marcia wasn't feeling well. neutral that's too bad.They're such good company. neutral I think there's someone at the door. neutral

Jenny, you go downstairs. Check if anyone else is arriving in this building.

Jen? It can ’ d bet it! Are you having a cold-and are blowing your

neutral What a heavy snow! neutral Take care! Don't slip down to the ground. neutral I've got it. I like the sound of stepping on the snow very much. happiness Yes. Very wonderful. happiness Do you smell the sweet scent? happiness

The winter is full with fragrance.

Of course! neutral It is from this tree over there.The flowers have

neutral I had one or two glasses of eggnog, but nothing else. neutral Step out of the vehicle, please. Sir, what do you have in the back? neutral Just a few Christmas gifts, ’ tis the season, after all! neutral Don ’ t take that tone with me. Do you have an invoice for these items? neutral Umm... no... I make these in my workshop in the North Pole! neutral

Wait, are those pine trees?

Wait! You're pulling over here? Why don'to tell us where this thing is head

neutral How's your father been? neutral He's been out of work for a couple of days. neutral What's wrong with him? neutral He has a bad cold. neutral Well, tell him to take it easy and that I hope he feels better. happiness

Thank you, Steven.

That is really nice of you, Sue. Thank him very much! surprise? Your

neutral Yes, I knew I could do that. Exactly how do I go about selling them? neutral If you give your used textbooks to the person at the booth outside the door, he will reimburse you. Can you go over there today? neutral I think maybe I could be there. neutral I am free at 1 neutral Maybe that would work. neutral

You have got all my e - mail?

Do remember to bring a bookcase with those books. That's helpful, too! You might

neutral True. How much did you pay? neutral $ 14,500. It only has 10,000 miles on it, so it ’ s like a new car. neutral Does that mean you ’ re not going to take the train to work anymore? neutral Well, sometimes, I think it ’ ll be nice to drive to work instead. We ’ ll see. Want to go for a ride? neutral Yeah, sure. neutral

What do these guys need?

Here ‘ tis. Let's get in, and start this great new car!

neutral What are your plans for this weekend? happiness I'd like to hire a bike. I think it would be a good idea to do some cycling on Sunday. neutral If the weather's fine. happiness I am sure it will be. It's been good so far this weekend. happiness I know a good place to hire bikes if you want. happiness

Good, thank-you. That might help!

That would help! 0 neutral Exciting. Let me have a check-

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 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

Thanking for your kindness.

Thank you! sadness But what can I do for this class? My background might

neutral Nothing special. neutral I'm wondering whether you could come over for a pizza sometime next week? neutral Sounds good.Sorry, here comes my bus.You call me, or I'll call you to make a date. neutral I'll call you. happiness All right.Gotta go, bye, keep in touch. happiness

See- ya, and enjoy your evening.

Bye. anger Exactly what happened there? Why did he just walk

happiness How'd you like to go on a bungee jump this weekend? neutral I'm not sure. I promised to help my sister move Saturday. happiness How about Sunday, then? We could start in the morning. neutral I might be able to do that. But I don't think I can do it well. happiness Don't worry. It is a test of physical endurance, intelligence. Just to finish it is considered a victory for most. happiness

So what time shall we take off?

So what does Bungee actually mean? Can I take your word, or will you need an

neutral And I suppose sitting at the desk all day in the office doesn't help. neutral No, I wouldn't think so. neutral I do wish I could lose weight. neutral Well, why don't you go on the diet? neutral I've tried diets before but they've never worked. neutral

Why not try this new one?

Do you know, Mary? You haven sadness Yes. But this one is

happiness Yeah, I never thought we could be good friends either. We have our differences. She's more outgoing and active while I am more quiet and reversed, but we still get along extremely well. We can talk for hours about anything. happiness That's great. I know people who can't stand each other for even five minutes. happiness When Jo and I are together, we argue a lot, but that's also part of the fun. Besides, I know she will always be there for me when I need her, and she knows I'll be there for her. happiness It seems you two bring out the best of one another. happiness Exactly. Having Jo as my friend is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. happiness

You seem just really lucky.

You feel just like your cousin, don't ya? Ha. neutral Oh yeah

neutral What ’ s the matter, Sally? You look so unhappy. sadness I had a bad day yesterday. neutral What happened? sadness I went to the library and lost my bag. neutral Your bag? Did you get it back? neutral

Yes. A lady found it, but she didn t have enough money for her return journey.

Yes. neutral Oh, that ’ is great luck! When were you looking for

neutral Are you free this evening, Li? neutral I ’ m afraid I ’ m busy tonight. I ’ m having dinner with friends. neutral What a pity. I wanted to go for a drink with you. happiness What about tomorrow? Are you doing anything tomorrow? neutral No, I haven ’ t got any plans. happiness

Well, that would be nice.

Well. Would you care for some coffee, then?

neutral Sam, what shall I do with my stocks? Will I lose money? neutral There ’ s a possibility. neutral What do you mean by that? neutral I mean if you don ’ t sell your shares now, it ’ s quite likely that you ’ ll end up losing your shirt. neutral Is that so? neutral

You bet on the wrong train, buddy.

You bet. Take this letter for starters.

neutral You ’ d better hurry up if you wanna a dorm room next September... neutral Well, actually, I am thinking about living off campus. neutral Do you have any idea how much that would cost? neutral I know it would be more expensive. I think I could handle it though. It ’ s that this dorm is so noisy that I can ’ t get anything done. neutral You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you ’ d save. neutral

That's not my only consideration.

That sounds fantastic. But, what about me getting back from school late? When I need to

happiness What a wonderful party! I had a good time. How about you? happiness I enjoyed myself, too. happiness Shall I give you a ride home? happiness Yes, if it's not too much of a trouble. happiness It's no trouble at all because your house is on the way to my place. happiness

Thank You for coming.

Exactly, and yours isn't far away from my home either.

neutral Thank you. neutral You ’ re welcome. The rain is quite heavy, isn ’ t it? neutral Yeah. I was in a hurry and I forgot my umbrella today. neutral I have one. We could share it. Which way are you going? neutral Oh, that ’ s very kind of you. I am going to the Garden Hotel. neutral

Let'sa take our luggage from us!

Let me see... oh. yes, right this street. That would be great! Do take care

happiness Yes. We hope you'll be able to join us. happiness Thank you for the invitation. I'll be very happy to go. happiness Good! happiness What time should I arrive? happiness How about 6:00? happiness

OK. Then see all of you later!

OK! See you then. Please excuse me now... my boss wants to see how his

neutral I do.We haven't watered them for quite a few days. neutral Please look at the sky.Don't you see the dark clouds? It's going to rain soon. happiness Good.So we don't have to work.How nice! neutral But I don't think it's so nice. neutral Why? neutral

The rainy days are coming.

You know that all our flowers wilt in rainy days. surprise What are

neutral Can you speak English? neutral Yes I can. I speak it very well. neutral Where did you learn it? neutral I lived in England when I was a child. neutral What else can you speak? neutral

Well I know how to speak Chinese.

Well, there's German and French as well.

surprise Wow. neutral Oh, while we're on the subject, what happened to you and your secretary? neutral I have no idea what you're talking about. neutral Oh, come on. Everybody knows. neutral Could you excuse me a moment? I have to make a phone call neutral

OK, take as long as you want.

Go ahead. anger ... What are they doing? They must really be getting it

neutral My sister has given me two tickets for tonight. It is called'The life of Rose ', a French movie. neutral What's it about? neutral It tells the lifetime of a lady singer from a beggar in the street to a famous singer in the world. It is a kind of tragedy. neutral I prefer the tragedy. It is moving and makes me ponder about my life. happiness Let's go. The time is coming. happiness

Thanking you, Steven.

OK! sadness Well.., this film isn't so good after all

neutral Oh, please come in. nice to see you. neutral On, what ’ re you doing? You look as busy as a bee. neutral Yeah, I ’ m trying to decorate my house. neutral Really, that ’ s cool. Let me see what you ’ Ve done. neutral But actually it ’ s not done yet. I ’ m going to get a special pendent lamp. neutral

Okay, how about the dining room and kitchen then. Do you have some new furniture?

So how did you find the lighting? That looks so beautiful. happiness, neutral

happiness I like it. Naturally it can arouse your feelings. happiness Yes, I think so. It's very emotional. happiness Of course, and I also like the rhythms. happiness Full of energy and hope. happiness Really. It's worth listening to and enjoying. happiness

Well, let us enjoy our music!

You know, there aren ’ t many songs with that feeling these days. disg

happiness Hey, Wen! Welcome to D. C.! Glad you came out to visit! neutral Thanks for inviting me. Actually, I've never been anywhere with so many black people before. It's different. neutral Howard is eighty percent black. But there are whites, and even Asians here. Thankfully, it's also coed. happiness Great! Is your, too? neutral Sorry, nope. But the Alpha Phi Alpha's are throwing a party tonight. neutral

What do they have at this thing?

Uhuh?

neutral But four boys! neutral It will be a new experience, and you might as well learn to adjust to changes. neutral You are right, I guess.The world keeps changing, and so do families. But I like a small-sized or medium-sized family where everybody is equal to everybody else. That's what I want. neutral It is good to have goals in life. If California doesn't work out, come and visit me in Korea, OK? neutral That's a great idea! neutral

Do you think it may take some time?

What about Sill, your ex? disgust ( anger ) Don't

neutral Hello, Kate. neutral Hi, Peter. I didn't see you last night. Where did you go? neutral I was almost on line the whole night. neutral Did you play network games the whole night? neutral No, I listened to the music, too. neutral

What do we need for a chat room?

You like popular songs, right happiness Oh yeah! And your voice is so nice

happiness It's most kind of you. happiness Don't mention it. It was the least I could do. happiness If there's ever anything I can do for you, Don't hesitate to let me know. happiness Thank you. happiness I'm most grateful. happiness

You are quite welcome.

You need have no worries about that. neutral But what shall I call this?

neutral The tapping of your pen on your desk. It ’ s driving me crazy. anger Fine! By the way would you mind not slurping your coffee every time you have a cup! neutral I don ’ t slurp my coffee. And plus, how can you hear it when you ’ re shouting into your phone all the time? anger You ’ Ve got to be kidding me! You ’ re complaining about me talking on the phone when you go out for a cigarette break ten times a day to shoot the breeze? neutral Look, we have a lot of accumulated anger from working in these conditions, and it ’ s probably okay to let off steam once in a while. But, it ’ s probably not a good idea to keep it up I ’ m willing to forgive and forget and if you are. happiness

Well, thank-you very much.

Good. disgust Hey! What is that stench, wow

neutral how about drinking soda? neutral many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda. Soda should be a treat ; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever. If you want to lose weight and you can't stop drinking soda, try neutral that's good advice. Have you ever tried taking vitamins? neutral my mother used to make me take vitamins every day, but I don't take them anymore. Vitamins are good as a supplement, but they don't do much good if you don't have a well-balanced diet to start. neutral how do you know so much about food and dieting? neutral

all the different magazines, newspapers, and television programs talk about dieting these days.

all of these things were passed down on to us from our parents. surprise !

neutral John, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a personal question. neutral I don't mind at all. neutral All right. Are you married? neutral To tell you the truth, I'm not married. I'm still single. neutral Then, when do you plan to get married? neutral

Sometime within this coming year.

As soon as possible! sadness You know, my father really doesn't

neutral But don't forget you are in a cafe. neutral Never mind, the odour of my feet will quicken their eating speed. anger I simply can't bear your barbaric behavior. neutral Don ’ t pretend you are a good God. anger You should feel shameful for your behavior. neutral

Why would anyone want me to?

Oh, yeah? Please forgive me. sadness What is more important-

neutral if you can't give me the full amount, a fraction of it would still help. I'll pay you back on Monday. I promise. neutral let's see, I've got about $ 50 to get me through the weekend. I can only spare about $ 20. I would give you more if I had it, I just don't have much money to my name right now. happiness thanks a lot Ayden. Every little bit will help. Tell you what, if you aren't doing anything tonight, why don't you come over and have dinner at my place. happiness that'd be great. Thanks! What time should I come over? neutral how about at 6 pm? happiness

OK! It sounds good. See you later.

That works for me. Do you live in an apartment or do your mom, dad or

neutral It's true. If a person doesn't exercise, they get sluggish.That's why I keep running. Even in the winter. neutral So I need to do something too. neutral But lifting weights isn't the best thing.You should do some kind of aerobic exercise. neutral I know. But I want to start today with a little weight lifting.Then I'm going to buy a new swimming suit and goggles, and every other day I'm going to go swim laps in the pool. How does that sound? neutral It sounds like a good plan to me. I'm still... I mean... neutral

You don ’ t have to tell me any more.

Yes... well, we can talk about my plans later. happiness Let's

neutral No way! Do you have a flavors you don't like? neutral I don't like ice cream with too many different flavors in it. neutral I agree with that, it just doesn't work for me. neutral I saw garlic ice cream on the menu once. disgust I think that would be horrible! happiness

That sounds really good to try!

Exactly! happiness That was good. Didn't they

neutral can you play a musical instrument? If you can, he might ask you to join the band. neutral I can play drums, but I haven ’ t played for a while. I ’ m not sure I ’ d be good enough to play in a band. neutral I wish I could play a musical instrument. I love music. neutral nowadays, you can be a DJ. You can mix dance music. You don ’ t need to be able to play musical instrument or sing. neutral I'd love to try it.but the equipment is expensive and it was still take a lot of practice. neutral

if you want some advice, maybe you should go along with him when we visit his parent.

if that happens, tell me. It sounds fun! sadness oh... well

neutral No way. Her old man is rich. He buys her anything she wants. neutral Lucky her. Anyway, I think that is just as beautiful. neutral I think you've lost it. neutral Well, that's my opinion. neutral I admit that she is much prettier than Kate. neutral

So do we all have different tastes.

She doesn ’ t have any person to go on. neutral You cannot judge the

neutral Do they have any grandchildren? neutral Yes, they have three grandchildren-one girl and two boys. neutral Does their daughters get along well with her in-laws? neutral Yes, she gets along with them quite well. neutral Do they have a large family? neutral

Not much larger than yours.

No, there's just the couple and one daughter.

happiness Oh, you're lucky, there are just two tickets left. Do you want to take them? happiness Wonderful, I'll take them. neutral OK, your name and telephone number please. neutral Wang Min. Telephone number is 13811658. Can I pick the tickets this afternoon? happiness Yes, of course. happiness

Thank-you very much. Have good time!

Good. Wait one moment, we have received all your information by e-mail. Your reservation

happiness And thank you very much for letting me keep it so long. happiness Not at all. happiness Everyone in our class enjoyed it too.It's very interesting. happiness Oh, I'm glad. happiness Would you mind me keeping it for another three days? happiness

Well, that would be great.

Of no, don't forget to take care of your health.

neutral Don ’ t, don ’ t, don ’ t, don ’ t say that. That, that makes it worse. neutral What? You don ’ t love me? Me, either. neutral You don ’ t love me? neutral No. neutral But we ’ re so right for each other. neutral

Look around and you see what I mean.

Are we? disgust Oh.... you have got the worst voice!

neutral This is usually my chore. neutral I don't mind helping. neutral We need to set the table for four. neutral So that's four plates, four forks, four knives, and four spoons? neutral That's right. Mom didn't know where to buy chopsticks for you. neutral

It doesn ’ t matter.

You have a Chinese-style dinner, too! sadness My mother bought some

neutral It ’ s a thriller. It has Julia Roberts playing the female lead. neutral I like thrillers and I like Julia Roberts, so it might be interesting. I read a review today and the critic didn ’ t seem to be very impressed. neutral What did the critic say? neutral He didn ’ t say it was bad, but he said that it wasn ’ t as good as it could have been, particularly as there were some good actors and actresses in it. neutral The movie starts at eight o ’ clock, so we have plenty of time to eat and get ready. happiness

Yes, exactly! That sounds perfect.

Thank you for coming out with me! sadness Well, my boyfriend wanted

neutral But it's an expensive hobby, isn't it? neutral Yes, you're right. What do you like to do in your spare time? neutral I usually play chess with my friends. But I like playing basketball best. neutral Do you play basketball well? neutral No, I'm not very good at it. I play just for the fun of it. happiness

It must be great fun.

That's fine. You know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?

neutral Hey Michelle. Good to see you. Are you at lunch? neutral Oh hi Jim. No I just got back. I thought you were on vacation now. neutral No, I wish I was! I just got back from Spain actually. happiness Oh wonderful! Have you been there before or was it your first time? happiness My first time. I've traveled around Europe a lot, but this was my first time to Spain. It was amazing, and the weather was just beautiful! No rain, and just sun, sun, sun... happiness

You must have had great fun.

Wow that sounds fantastic. What exactly did you do over here in Europe? How Ay days

neutral Tv towers are usually thicker at the bottom than at the top. They ’ re not perfectly cylindrical. neutral This is the world ’ s largest sports stadium. It ’ s a massive oval. neutral What sports do they play there? neutral It says here that it ’ s mainly used for big football matches and athletics meetings. neutral Is that building a perfect cube? neutral

No, I don't think so.

Yes. That looks very distinct with smoothed rough cornerstones. Those large, plain windows give

neutral Are the galaxies in the universe moving through space? neutral No, the galaxies sit more or less passively in the space around them. But not too much. As the space between galaxies expands, it carries the galaxies further apart - like raisins in an expanding dough. neutral But I heard that our Milky way galaxy may one day collide with a neighboring galaxy. If galaxies are moving apart from each other, how can they collide? neutral Well, the universe is a chaotic place, and the gravity from one galaxy, or from a group of galaxies, may disturb the motion of its near neighbors, causing them to collide. However, on average, when you compare two large enough chunks of space, the galaxies in one are moving away from the galaxies in the other. happiness Wow, you're really informative. Thanks a lot. happiness

You are very welcome.

You've got me. This information comes directly from the horse ’ s mouth, although this particular

neutral What ’ s wrong? Didn ’ t you think it was fun?! neutral Oh, yeah! I had a blast! I love sweating like a pig with a bunch of pot bellies who all smell bad. Sorry, I ’ m just not into this health kick. neutral Oh, no, get off it. It wasn ’ t such a killer class. You just have to get into it. Like they say, no pain, no gain. neutral I am wiped out. Thank you. neutral Look, next time get yourself some comfy shoes. You ’ re gonna come back again with me, aren ’ t you? neutral

Hey, why don ’ d I do that?

Of course. This place looks more comfortable than any other, anyway!

happiness Your garden is really lovely. happiness Thank you. neutral Do you take care of them everyday? neutral Yes, I do. neutral Don't you feel dull? neutral

No, on the contrary.

No, quite a pleasure to look after flowers

neutral What about your mother? Did she help you? neutral Yes, she did a little. But you see, Americans are different from Chinese. You can ’ t depend on your own mother to be a full-time babysitter. She could baby-sit only once or twice a week. That ’ s it. I had to care for them most of the time. neutral I see. So if my little family goes to America, I would end up taking care of my child all the time. My husband would have to make the bread for us. I just don ’ t know how I would get some education and be able to get a job some day. neutral Don ’ t worry. You can take night classes. I did that when I had kids. And soon your child will be old enough to attend kindergarten. Then you could find a job and work. neutral Sounds not so easy to me. When that happens, I will be too old to learn. neutral

How much do we earn here per month?

Oh honey, do relax! There is no such thing as one hundred percent chance at becoming successful

neutral You should speed up, because the story of Robinson can give you a better understanding about what you learned today. happiness OK, great Daddy, after supper, I'll embark on it. happiness That's my boy! Wait, Daniel, when is Pirates of the Caribbean on? happiness Is it about Captain Jack Sparrow, who wants to find the treasure on the sea? happiness Exactly, now, tell me the time. neutral

The show starts in ten minutes.

What do we need for watching TV, dad? 0 surprise and happiness Just

neutral And how well can you speak them? neutral Well, French was my best subject at school. I can read and write it pretty well. neutral And how about your Spanish? neutral Well, it's not as good as my French. I can speak it reasonably well, but my written Spanish isn't very good. neutral I see. Well, we have a lot of Spanish customers, but you wouldn't need to write any Spanish here. neutral

Yes, that would be the only problem.

Yes. That might work in our favour then! neutral What other language do they

neutral He has lots of hobbies. neutral And he ’ s always busy with his pictures and roses. neutral He ’ s won a dozen prizes for his pictures and roses. neutral But as for his business in the city... neutral He lets his cousins look after his business. neutral

It seems all right, but actually...

The people around here think him very important. neutral You see, everyone wants to

neutral I ’ m sorry that I was absent yesterday. neutral I ’ Ve already got your certificate for sick-leave. How do you feel today? neutral I feel much better now. neutral Have you received the reading material handed out yesterday? neutral I ’ Ve already got it. Thanks. neutral

You should have read them before attending this meeting, as those materials are extremely important.

Would like us to go on with this project? surprise Really! Why not

neutral Where are we headed now? neutral To a historic coffeehouse. It's got a little Mafia story to it. happiness Awesome. Was someone killed there? neutral Oh, yeah, while he was eating, and he was a pretty famous Don. happiness Cool! Is it safe for us to eat there though? neutral

You bet, if you don ’ t tell anyone!

Ha, no. But you know what I mean? sadness Yeah

neutral What was she thinking? Did you confront her about it when you saw her? anger I wanted to, but I knew that if I spoke to her, I'd just blow up at her, so I decided to just go home. I called her later that the night, but she didn't answer the phone. neutral I can't believe she would do that to you. It's so dishonest-and rude! anger I know. I still haven't heard from her. The good thing is that I'm so angry with her that I don't feel sad about not having her around. neutral I bet you that she regrets what she's done. You are such a good catch! She really lost out, didn't she? neutral

Exactly, which will be funny.

Yeah, maybe. But even now... surprise Really? Why on earth would

happiness Yeah, you ’ re quite right and what ’ s your hobby? neutral I like taking photos out of doors. happiness Oh, photography, It ’ s really a good hobby. happiness Yes, I usually develop and print all my own photos. neutral You yourself have a photo studio? happiness

Of course! What do you think?

Absolutely! What else can do with such nice machines. Anyway, 5 by6 in

neutral Clive was really outstanding. Not only he put on a big show himself, but also he inspired the whole team. neutral Exactly. He is unbelievable. neutral On the other hand, I think the other team won everyone's respect. The leader said they could have crumpled at the beginning, but they just carried on and never lost their cool. neutral They were really tough. neutral The thing I like most about them is that they did not play with a heavy heart even though at that time the odds seemed to be against them. neutral

That takes great courage.

And we finally got the goal. That made me feel so good! 10 - All right

neutral I want you to cut it to a few inches long. neutral That's pretty short. Are you sure about this? neutral I've had this idea for some time now. neutral I'm going to do it, but you have to be sure you really want me to. neutral This is what I want. neutral

OK. You won ’ t regret your choice!

You know how hard that was, right? When he left me... sadness

neutral I am thinking about resigning from my current job. neutral Have you thought about it seriously? neutral Yes, I have been thinking about it for quite a while. Now I finally make up my mind to leave. I have given my resignation letter to our boss last Friday. neutral Ok, did you find a new company? neutral Yes, I will move on to XYZ Company. neutral

Do your family know that, or they are not aware of the matter at all now?

How do feel when your reservation was accepted? happiness Excited and nerv

neutral Not bad. It seems you are super yogurt lover. You have so many in your cart. neutral Well, I prefer yogurt to all the other drinks. Have you ever tried a kind of yogurt with old milk in it? It tastes great and very healthy too. neutral Oh, I haven ’ t noticed that before. Maybe I will try next time. happiness Why don ’ t you go ahead of me? I have more items than you. happiness Thank you. In fact, I am in a hurry. My wife is waiting for me at the parking lot. happiness

See, we do get along well now!

Ok! Except there was no way my car can move along as fast when those guys got

neutral Pilgrimages are common in many faiths. neutral Yes. In England, Christian pilgrims might go to Canterbury and many Christians go to the Vatican on pilgrimages. neutral Isn ’ t there a place in france where people go to get healed? neutral I think that place is Lourdes.

Yes. neutral But it has just come off the finger when we were talking

neutral Christmas has more religious nature, while our Spring Festival is a more traditional holiday. On the New Year's Eve, we have a big dinner called'Family Reunion Dinner '. One of the traditional food to eat at the dinner is dumplings. After that, the adults usually sit chatting, watching TV, or playing cards. neutral What are the children doing? neutral They usually go outside to play firecrackers and fireworks. neutral I heard one of the purposes to do it is to frighten the devils so they will not come to do any harm to people in the next year. neutral Perhaps it is like what people told you. At 24 hours midnight, the time when the New Year really comes, we exchange'Happy New Year'to each other, and parents and grandparents will take out small packages wrapped with red paper, in them are some what we call'Lucky Money. neutral

OK, but let your key unlocked.

All right, but take care. disgust Look! We can see ice

neutral So, the national ping-pong team must be a highly competitive membership. neutral Sure. There is a careful mechanism for selecting players from provincial teams, and those lucky dogs have to observe strict rules. neutral For example? neutral They are subject to hard training. And you know what, for a player on the national team, personal affairs are supposed to take a back seat to training and competitions. They are not even allowed to talk relationships with each other. neutral Oh, dear! It's an encroachment on individual rights! neutral

But that sort of control has become common nowadays because we need all hand on the stick.

You don't see eye to eye with me? I mean...

happiness I see. This sounds interesting! Maybe my teacher isn ’ t so horrible after all. neutral So, are you going to read the novel or watch the movie? surprise There ’ s movie? My teacher didn ’ t tell me that! neutral That ’ s probably because she wants you to read the book first. neutral It would take a lot less time... neutral

And if we can get this right...

But, it will help your understand everything more. What do say? happiness OK

And, we can add some new flowers.

This is going to go well. Let me know your plans for Saturday, OK?

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 see... Do you have any idea what your Chinese family believe about such stuff.

Do you really believe that. sadness Yes! but i don't understand at

neutral oh. It's actually all rather personal. neutral well, skip over all of that and read me the rest. happiness ok, it just says, ball, blah, blah...

Yes, but nothing about me is new.

neutral Oh, you look quite slender and more vivacious. What have you been taking? Are you on a diet? neutral Yes. I ’ m on a diet, but I ’ Ve not taken anything. I just eat less and exercise more. And it really worked in the past three months. I ’ Ve lost twelve pounds. neutral Wow! That ’ s great. I sincerely want to achieve my weight loss goals, but it ’ s difficult for me to keep up the exercise. Also you know, old habits are hard to break. neutral What kind of exercise do you think I do? I just go to dance everyday after work. I ’ m taking an amateur dance class. I dance two hours everyday. neutral Dance? You only go dancing? That ’ s not hard. I can do that. neutral

Well, maybe if we try together.

But this is something new for me. disgust Maybe you should try swimming

neutral Your tradition of throwing rice as they got into their car was interesting, but it didn't look like real rice to me. neutral It wasn't. It was birdseed. We don't throw rice anymore because someone discovered that birds come along and eat the rice and have trouble digesting it. neutral Oh, I didn't think of that. Well, this reception reminds me of weddingparties back in China. Plenty of food and drink, music and dancing, and interesting traditions. neutral Wait until you see what happens next!

I woke up this morning and found it was sunny. So I called Lucy and asked her to go shopping with me. We were going to look for a new purse. Now it turned out to be like this. Neither of us wants to go to outside anymore. sadness That ’ s too bad. I hate sand storms too. It can be worse than any kind of bad weather. neutral What ’ s wrong with climate? Anyway, I think the sand storm happens more frequently these days than the years before. Can ’ t people do something to stop it? neutral It is not an easy job. The government is working on it. Lots of trees have been planted in the north of the capital. Also, methods of generating rain are being used by the government to fight against the drought. But of course, it will not work overnight. So, have you come out with a new plan for today? neutral

Yeah, just stay at home all day.

Well, nothing useful. Maybe we should try tom play poker later tonight if there isn'

No, but it would be nice if we could go together! ' happiness Yes

neutral Any plans tonight? neutral Not really, do you? fear Well, I am wondering if we took a hang-out for a drink or something. You know, I just came back from a really tough interview. I was quite nervous during the interview. I really want to have the job. Right now, I am still a little on the edge. I am not sure if I could convince them during the interview. neutral Take it easy. It is all over now. How was it going, anyway? neutral I don ’ t know. I think I did well in the paper exams. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions, but they didn ’ t ask those as I expected. To my surprise, the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me. neutral

Don ’ re worry. That happens often when people are trying too hard at an interview.

What? ... He said that he would like chat more with me. Then,

neutral Oh, it's love at first sight. When will you see each other again? neutral He didn't say, but he said he would call me. neutral Maybe he is busy with his work.

Anyway, it's obviously got you in its grip! neutral What do you mean? What are you talking about? neutral I mean you couldn't give it up! surprise Who? Me? Could't give up smoking? Nonsense!

Many people like it, but some dislike it because of their personal sense of feeling.

Good idea but people may just disobey it.

neutral Oh, yeah? What's it about? happiness Well, it's the classic love story between two people from conflicting backgrounds. But besides a beautiful story, the cinematography is great. There is some really dramatic footage. It's really quite a visual feast. And the soundtrack is moving. happiness Sounds pretty good. Is it a tragedy? neutral The ending is a bit of a surprise. I don't want to ruin it for you. neutral Oh, I like movies with surprise endings, although, sometimes they can be frustrating. Maybe I should invite my girlfriend to go next weekend. happiness

That would make an excellent outing.

You know, she has no sense in choosing a film...

surprise My goodness! You ’ re kidding! neutral No. I ’ m serious. I ’ m going to quit my job. surprise That ’ s amazing! You got a good pay here, didn ’ t you? neutral It ’ s true. But I can ’ t show my abilities. neutral Come on! Don ’ t be silly! neutral

Anyway, it will help me clear off the tuition fees in some of those universities.

And also, the management is not happy with me now. anger Really!

neutral No, I didn't. How high is the tax? neutral Well, it is different in different countries.But it's because of the high tax that buying liquor duty-free is such a good deal. neutral Why would the government want to tax liquor so much? neutral Liquor is considered a luxury item.And also, it is considered as something that isn't very healthy.So if people want to buy it, the government thinks it has the right to tax it. neutral That's why a lot of people buy cigarettes here too, isn't it? neutral

Yeah, most travelers love smoking.

Yes, they do. Because smoking isn ’ t quite so fashionable these days. So more
