neutral Not at all. I got a 3.8. neutral Well, what did you get in English 101 last year? neutral I got a 4.0 in that class. neutral Well, I can't compare to you. I got a 3.1 in English 101. That means if you got a lower grade in English 201, it must be harder. neutral It's not what it appears. I actually tried harder in the 101 class. If I put as much effort into the 201 class, I would have received the same grade. neutral

Doing better on your test doesn't mean doing more homework, is that right?

You seem like your trying to tell me something. What is going on? Do want to say my

I am a green hand, you know. neutral First of all, you must be punctual. You should be there before 6 p. m. so that you will have half an hour for preparation changing clothes and things like that. Then, remember you should smile. Smile to your customers all the time. Never pull a long face even If you feel awful that day. Anything else? Oh, yes. Never argue with your boss.

neutral What did you learn at the workshop you went to yesterday? Do you think it was worth the investment to go? neutral Yeah, I really got a lot of the session. The workshop topic was resolving personal problems. It was led by a professional human resources director. The teacher had a lot of experience, and I think we were all given a really good base to start with. neutral The workshop was only one afternoon long, do you really think you can learn that much in only a couple of hours? neutral It depends on the topic, the teacher, and the way the course is set up. Yesterday, even though we only had a short time to discuss the issues, the workshop got us all thinking. We learned some very basic, but very useful methods of dealing with personnel issues. neutral Sounds like you really learned a lot. neutral

That's why i paid 5 hundred bucks.

Yes, there are two key points for me. One, don't take everything home or use

neutral I played outfield. I hated the infield because I never figured out all the bounces. neutral I wish I could play again, but there isn't much opportunities around here. happiness I'm on a softball league. It's not fast pitch, but it's still fun. You wanna join our group? neutral When do you guys play? neutral We play either Tuesdays or Thursdays. happiness

That sounds pretty good to me.

Sounds good. What day did your leage use to practice? Do they let any beginners

neutral Going shopping. It tires me too much. neutral Why don't you go shopping online? surprise Can I? neutral Why not? Let me recommend a website. neutral OK. What does it sell? neutral

neutral Seriously? You mean to fire a real weapon? I don ’ t know man. happiness Yeah, it will be fun! I have a 9mm pistol that is really easy to shoot. I also have a revolver that ’ s really fun too! They have big targets at the range that we could use to practice and improve you happiness Yeah that would be cool! Maybe I can also have a try at other weapons like a machine gun or a shotgun! Maybe even a rocket launcher or an anti tank missile! Or what about a flame thrower! neutral Whoa, take it easy there Rambo. Don ’ t get carried away. These weapons are not toys, and you must first learn how to handle them properly. There are basic rules that you must abide by in order to be happiness Wow, I didn ’ t know! It always looks so cool and easy in the movies! neutral

The reality factor. We need something very small with high-tech technology for this particular training program.

I'll tell you after the test on Friday. neutral I like to use shorthand note taking. neutral I was told once that the more time you spend writing, the less you are paying attention and so you miss stuff. neutral Hmm.

Are you planning to go back home?

You can do a little bit of all three, right? 2 - The Dentale Associ

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 music instrument or thing. neutral I love to try it, but the instrument is expensive and it was still need to take a lot of practice. neutral

Exactly, that ‘ s right.

neutral Susan has been down recently. I saw her this morning, she looked terrible! neutral You have any idea why? neutral She broke up with her boyfriend. neutral I heard her boyfriend is married. neutral She still loves him.

neutral have you tried The Peninsula Palace Beijing? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job. neutral yes, we called, but it is booked up. The only choice is the Regent Beijing but we haven't made up our minds yet. neutral it's an excellent hotel. A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect, though very expensive. neutral that's why we want to have a look at other hotels. We don ’ t want to spend too much on an extravagant wedding reception. neutral I guess you're right. I can help you ask other hotels. I am sure there are probably some available. happiness

It is very easy to find. Just ask the guard at the entrance. neutral Who else will come? neutral I invited all the colleagues in our department and also my former neighbor, Paul. He is a very good person. You should meet him. neutral

Do you need any help?

Sure, just wait a moment.

neutral These look strange. neutral Yes, I agree ; let's move on to the calculating of the score. Would that be OK? neutral OK, let's do the calculation. neutral We add all of these up and divide by this and that gives us this percentage. neutral I see. neutral

And then we take the total from each team for all players, so here is your new table...

And we can work through a whole match like you did for your tennis team! surprise

neutral Today people are hearing about information superhighways and the intermet. neutral Is this change going to be beneficial for theindividuals like you and me. neutral Yes, I think so. My friend once used it mostly to play chess, but now he has learnt how to do other things on the Internet. neutral There's no doubt the Internet will be a powerful commercial medium. It'll connect hundreds of millions of customers and open up huge markets for all kinds of products and services. neutral That's true. I can imagine companies sending advertisements directly to customers over the net. Customers, in turn, can examine and compare whatever goods they want to buy and tell their computers to find them at the best price offered. neutral

What else does that sound better?

So what does that have to do with our discussion? disgust Maybe nothing,

neutral And? happiness Let ’ s just say that by the third date, we both realized that we had fallen in love. happiness That happened quickly! Are you going to see him again? happiness Luckily, his company has a position available here, so he ’ s going to see if he can get relocated. happiness It sounds like he is madly in love with you.

I guess it depends how long your friend wants things kept under wrap and at no cost...

I am very nervous. What do i know about Mark! We haven't even discussed our

neutral if life were easy, then we ’ d achieve our ambition quickly and then get bored. neutral unfortunately, it ’ s inevitable that some people are going to work hard yet not succeed. neutral that ’ s why ambition need to be realistic. You can ’ t achieve something that ’ s totally unrealistic. neutral as long as you plan carefully, most thing are possible. It ’ s always good to have a backup plan in case things go wrong. neutral I think it ’ s important to be successful in a field you are truly interested in, not something that other people force you to be interested it. neutral

so for example.

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

Do you really mean what you said?

Why do so many people have to hurt other people? disgust It really

That sounds like something I had in Mexico once. neutral Good stuff... Oh, no. The door is locked. neutral

It'll be OK.

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.

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 course. Now, which side has got better control over the situation--Now?

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

Really. What was it, then? An all fish dish maybe anger

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

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.

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

What do all these guys have over their shoulders. They are carrying little packages underneath them?

What do we sing now? neutral A birthday song. Why aren't

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

Why? How does it work.

Which savings method would give most benefit? surprise What? Why aren ’

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 you want an unrealized choice for today, but if there were no time limit.

You can always choose later. disgust Oh, my! What if you

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

Well, yours is not much better.

Well, yours is quite an able child. surprise Oh! Is that really so

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

How about a show?

OK. Do any one else have a suggestion? happiness Why not visit Rockef

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 what do we need to check in on?

Ahahah!

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 night then. Have good sleep!

Surely. Please give My best regards to all of the guys, and say hello from us.

happiness Yes, I do. Those are violets, aren ’ t they? happiness Yes, they are. This afternoon, I ’ m going to prune the hedge. happiness The lower branches on that tree are hanging very low. Would you like me to cut them off for you? happiness Thank you! That would be very kind of you. I have a saw in the garden shed. happiness When the lower branches are removed, you ’ ll be able to sit under the tree. happiness

It is very kind of You.

Oh, thank your. But what will it cost? happiness It really isn

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

Really, I can hardly think it!

Really? happiness Well, it sounds very exciting. And they have a

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

What did the doctor say?

Why, is my temperature very important today? disgust It may help the

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

Is that true in your country?

The most in-deman jobs now seem t be creatively or designly ary.

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 it're too soft for a man!

The lyrics disappointed me. But if i had to choose between this song and Love 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

how about the one next on our left?

how should I know? This is the first time any of us has been in a night club.

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, first make certain you know everything inside from head-out! Then breathe deeply.

Just breathe, deepen up before hand. Remember to relax... even if your nervous

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

You may be right.

What if your major was in demand--think computers and computer languages, electronic engineering...? You

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

Thanks. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Good idea! Let's meet later. surprise Oh, yeah? How about

neutral How big is your family? neutral My family is not big, there are only 3 of us-my parents and I. neutral Who supports the family? neutral My father supports the family, and he is the sole breadwinner. My mother is a housewife. neutral Do you live with your family? happiness

Yes, we're happy together.

We do. Our life style suits our personalties perfectly, we have been doing this for

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's the spirit, Violet.

It sounds like you are having coffee with your cousin!

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

Here are some catalogue lists. They give an idea about where things in our library come from.

Bye bye! Have a good day. ... Goodbye ; have an wonderful

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

It seems like everyone has a hard time finding the fairway with their driver. How about yourself?

Oh, no!

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! Have a nice trip.

no problem! We should get on the road as early possible. The further we travel,the more

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

Yes. Some are really unlucky.

But the fli side is that a good deal of Western movie star are actually divorced by Chinese

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. Which charities would you support? neutral I love children, as you know, so probably a children ’ s charity. neutral

How much money are the rich paying?

What kinds of things are most important for your career? neutral Well, firstly

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

Hey, this one looks cool!

OK. Let me see that... Hey! What's up, Fred? Can I ask something

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

Because it saves money and is easier.

Because I find it easier than going to some other photographer. sadness Let '

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 luck with this new business!

Wow! So much news in this letter. Keep them coming, Lester-you might just

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 seems like a good start.

Wow, all this work! disdust Yeah! Why do people put so
