W: Excuse me. This is the address. How do I find it?
M: Right. You’ll need a street map. Here’s one, and I’ll show you where it is.
Text 2
W: Oh my! My car broke down, and I have to meet my aunt at the railway station before noon.
M: You’re lucky. I can drop you off on my way.
Text 3
W: Did you hear that Mr. Peterson is coming next week, Gordon?
M: Yes, so I called all the department heads to my office this morning. We need to give him reports on our program.
Text 4
W: I hope you like the book I lent you. I wasn’t sure if you’d be interested.
M: I had the same doubt at first. But once I started, I simply couldn’t put it down.
Text 5
W: What is going on? It’s May, and we still have to wear warm clothes.
M: Well, there’s some good news on the radio. You probably can wear shorts tomorrow.
Text 6
W: Harry, let’s play some ping-pong today.
M: I’d love to play a set or two, but my right arm hurts. I’ve decided to stop playing ping-pong until it feels better.
W: Well, how about going skating?
M: I’d like to, but my knee hurts, too.
W: Harry, stop making excuses! You’re just lazy.
M: No, I’m not! You know, there’s a basketball match on TV today. Let’s just stay home and watch it.
W: OK. You stay, and I’ll play with Helen.
Text 7
W: What do you want to do tonight?
M: How about going to the cinema? I should be home from work at 5:45. Then we can go out and eat before we see a film.
W: What do you want to see?
M: There’s a good art film at the Green House Cinema.
W: Let’s see…it starts at 6:15. I don’t think we can get there in time to see the beginning. How about the action film at the New State Cinema? It starts at 6:50. Perhaps the 7:00 one at the UME Cinema is even better. It stars Jackie Chan.
M: OK, that’s fine. I like him, too.
Text 8
M: Hey, Lucy. Do you have some time to talk about next week’s trip with me?
W: Sure, Dave.
M: OK. So, we’re leaving on Monday from Hartsfield International Airport, and returning on Friday. Do we take ourselves to the airport? Maybe we need to book a taxi, or just go by bus.
W: No, we don’t have to. The company car will pick us up and take us there.
M: Oh, that’s good. When?
W: Our flight leaves at 11:00 a.m., so they should pick us up between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Besides, the company pays for our trip, including hotel and food.
M: How much will that be?
W: Well, New York is a pretty expensive city. So, each of us will get $200 a day.
M: Oh, OK. Thanks for telling me that.
W: You’re welcome.

M: From what I’ve read, it seems that a starting pay would be around $12,000 a year.
W: Here, you would start at $10,500 for the first year…a kind of training period. Then you would go to $15,000.

Text 10
M: Well, I’d love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
