　　Conversation 1

　　M: What time do you usually get home from work?

　　W: Oh, about 6:30, but if there’s a lot of traffic, it will be around 7:30. Last night, I got home very late. It was almost 8:30.

　　M: That’s too bad. By the way, did you watch that special TV program last night?

　　W: No, I didn’t have the time, and I forgot to record it. You know, I had to prepare for a lecture.

　　Conversation 2

　　W: Hi, Sam. I didn’t know you exercised at this gym. Do you come here every day?

　　M: Well, I’ve been busy with my project, but usually, I exercise here every two days. How about you?

　　W: I come here once a week, mostly Friday or Saturday.

　　M: Why don’t we meet at the park this Friday after work? We can exercise together at the gym, and then go for a drink or a movie.

　　W: Sounds good.

　　Conversation 3

　　W: Good morning. Can I help you?

　　M: This is Mr. Horst speaking. Could I speak to Mr. Chester, ple ase?

　　W: One moment, please. I’m sorry, but Mr. Chester is on the other line. Would you like to leave a message?

　　M: Could you ask Mr. Chester to call me back?

　　W: Of course. What is your name again?

　　M: My name is Richard Horst.

　　W: Could you please spell your last name?

　　M: That’s H for Harry, O for Oliver, R for Robert, S for sugar, and T for Tommy.

　　W: Thank you for calling, and goodbye.

　　Conversation 4

　　M: Hello?

　　W: Honey, it’s me!

　　M: Where are you?

　　W: At the station. I missed my train, so I’m going to be late.

　　M: Oh, that’s too bad. Will you get back in time to pick up the kids?

　　W: I don’t think so. Can you get them?

　　M: No problem.

　　W: How was your day?

　　M: Well, I worked on my paper for a few hours, and then I got sleepy. So I slept for a while.

　　W: Wow, you’re so lucky you work at home. I can’t sleep at the office, you know.

　　M: But I also did the dishes. You can’t do those things at the office.

　　W: Well, that’s true.

　　M: See you around 6:30?

　　W: I hope so. See you.

　　Conversation 5

　　M: What can I do for you, madam?

　　W: Yes. My husband and I were thinking of buying something. May I have a look at that T-shirt?

　　M: Certainly. You have very good taste, madam. It really suits you.

　　W: Thanks, but it’s not for me. It’s for my friend. How much is it?

　　M: Well, madam, you’re very lucky because we have a special offer on for this week only. That T-shirt is normally sixty dollars, but we are offering a ten percent discount.

　　W: Oh, dear. That’s still 54 dollars.

　　M: I see. Well, madam, just look at the quality.

　　W: It’s very nice, but I think your prices seem very high. A T-shirt like this is much cheaper on the Internet.

　　M: But not of this quality, madam.

　　W: Well, I’m in a hurry, so why not 48?

　　M: 48? At that price, I’m losing money. How about 50?

　　W: 50? Well…oh, look! There’s a button missing

　　M: Really? OK, let’s make it 48.

　　W: Thank you. I’ll take it.

　　Conversation 6(http://www.171english.cn)

　　W: Hi, Tim. Have you been here long?

　　M: Hi. I arrived on Sunday. How about you?

　　W: I got here a few days ago, on Saturday…oh, no, wait a minute…sorry, Friday, not Saturday.

　　M: But we didn’t have to be here until today.

　　W: Yes, I know, but I wanted to get my things moved into my room and take a look around. So, did you choose English as your major in the end?

　　M: No. I changed my mind and chose history instead. And you are doing biology, if I remember correctly.

　　W: Yes.

　　M: How much reading have you got? I was g iven an amazingly long list of books to read. See?

　　W: Well, mine isn’t as long as yours. But I don’t know how to get through them all. Do I have to make notes while reading?

　　M: Well, you’d better skim the books first to see what’s important and what isn’t.

　　W: But what if you miss something?

　　M: You don’t mean you’re going to read every word, do you?
