#Person1#: Is there a lot of crime in your city?
#Person2#: There's some, but I don't think it's a big problem. A lot of it is petty crime, burglary and car theft. There's very little major crime.
#Person1#: It's the same in my city. We also have a lot of drug addicts. A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs.
#Person2#: That happens in many places. In my city, there is a very good drug rehabilitation programme. The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes, but I don't know if that's the reason for
#Person1#: Some people believe that a tough approach is better. Other prefer a more lenient approach.
#Person2#: I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly. If most people have similar amounts of money, they will not think of stealing from others.
#Person1#: That's possible, but I'm not sure it would really happen like that.

#Person1#: The May holiday is coming up soon. Are you planning on going on vacation?
#Person2#: I am. I just went to the travel agent's and picked up these brochures.
#Person1#: Where are you planning on going?
#Person2#: I fancy going to Tibet for a few days. Have you ever been there?
#Person1#: I went a long time ago, before they built the new train that can take you there.
#Person2#: Would you recommend going there for a few days?
#Person1#: Personally, I think it'd be better to go when you have more time. A few days isn't really enough to get acclimatize yourself and to go on a few excursions outside of the capital.
#Person2#: You're probably right. What do you think about Yangshao?
#Person1#: It's a beautiful city, but I think it's become too touristy. How about going to a cosmopolitan city like Shanghai or Hong Kong?
#Person2#: I'd like to get away from the big city life.
#Person1#: Maybe you should consider going to a hot springs resort outside of Beijing. I heard they are very relaxing.
#Person2#: I guess if I only have a few days, I should probably think about going somewhere that isn't so far away.
#Person1#: Since the May holiday is the high season, you should probably call ahead to reserve a room. Here's the phone number.
#Person2#: Thanks, I'll give them a call later.

And then, as part of my introduction to the class, I'll let them know some of the other things that they'll all get, which include consumer understanding of how the car works.
#Person2#: OK. I'll register for this course today. Can I join now?

Ben: Well, did you guys see „Black Panther” at the cinema?
Jason: Yes, I thought it was really good indeed. Some people had warned me that the plot is really far-fetched, but I don’t think about it that way. What about you?
Ben: No, I’m afraid I wasn’t interested in the least. I find these action films utterly unbelievable and over the top. Give me One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest‘. I could watch that movie over and over again.
Andre: Haven’t seen the panther, but totally agree on the Cucckoo’s Nest
Jason: I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s quite depressing, isn’t it?
Ben: But it really makes you think, you know. In the films I prefer emotions to action-packed scenes. But it’s a real classic, you should undoubtedly watch it.

#Person1#: I wonder if this is going to be an interesting class.
#Person2#: Yeah. Me too. So, what's your major?
#Person1#: Well, I've been batting around the idea of going into business, but I haven't decided yet. And my dad keeps telling me I have to choose a major, but I'm undeclared at the moment.
#Person2#: Ah, that's what happened to me my freshman year.
#Person1#: Oh, so what year are you in school?
#Person2#: I'm a senior, and I only have to take 10 more credits to graduate. Yeah!
#Person1#: Well. That must feel great to be almost finished with school.
#Person2#: You can say that again, but once I graduate, I have to start repaying a student loan, so I'm not looking forward to that.
#Person1#: But didn't your parents help you out with your college tuition?
#Person2#: No. My dad said he wasn't made of money, so he thought I should earn my own education, so I worked like crazy in the summer and part-time during the school year to cover most of my costs. [Well, that's parents for you.] And, I received some financial aid and a scholarship one year, which really saved me. [Ah, that's nice.] But this past year, school has been more demanding, so I haven't been able to work as much.
#Person1#: Well, you know, at least you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
#Person2#: That's true.
#Person1#: Well, have you lined up a job yet?
#Person2#: Not yet, but I'm trying to line up a few interviews at the job fair next month.
#Person1#: Well, at least you have some ideas on your future. I mean, I'm taking a business class right now, and the teacher always lectures us by saying that life is difficult, and we should prepare for our futures by setting realistic goals. And the only place that success comes before ...
#Person2#: ... work is in the dictionary. [Yeah!?] Yeah. I've heard that all before. Let me guess. Is your teacher Paul Jones?
#Person1#: Yeah. How do you know? I mean, did you have him too? I mean, the guy is, you know, he's just really ...
#Person2#: He's my dad. Yeap.
#Person1#: Your dad? I mean, I didn't mean anything by what I said. I wasn't bad-mouthing him or anything. I mean he's a good teacher and all. It's just that ...
#Person2#: ... he's a dad. That's what dads do. Lecture. He has about a thousand sermons on life, and he always shares them in his classes.
#Person1#: Yeah. Well, um ..., nice talking with you. I have ... I have to go.

#Person2#: Are you Chinese?
#Person1#: Yes, I am. I am from Taiwan. I came here to study political science.
#Person2#: How do you like it?
#Person1#: I like it so far. But my English still needs work.
#Person2#: I want to study Mandarin and international relations.
#Person1#: Does the Chinese department here teach regular characters or simplified characters?
#Person2#: They teach regular characters.
#Person1#: I see. I'm from Taiwan, so I know regular characters better than simplified.
#Person2#: You just said your English needs work, yes?
#Person1#: Yes, that's true. Especially my writing. I think my papers aren't good enough. I make too many grammatical mistakes.
#Person2#: Well, I am very serious about learning Chinese. But for me the hard part now is pronunciation. You have the four tones in Chinese. It is very hard. Maybe, if you have time, maybe we could do a language exchange.
#Person1#: You mean you and I?
#Person2#: Yes, why not? I mean, if you come to this cafe often, maybe we could meet here and practice Chinese and English.
#Person1#: That sounds like a good idea. How often would you like to do it?
#Person2#: Let's see. . . My schedule right now is quite busy. But I think I could spend 90 minutes a week in language exchange.
#Person1#: How would we manage it though? How would we spend the 90 minutes?
#Person2#: First, we could spend 45 minutes working on your English writing. If you want, I could help you edit your papers. Or we could do English conversation. Whatever you want. And then the next 45 minutes you would help me with my Chinese.
#Person1#: Would I help you with writing?
#Person2#: No. For me right now, the important thing is spoken Chinese. I need practice. So you could tutor me in speaking. We could use my textbook, and you could ask me questions. Then you could correct my mistakes.
#Person1#: I think it sounds like a good system. But when is it convenient to meet?
#Person2#: Well, today is Monday. Actually, for me Monday at this time would be the best. I am free from now until 11
#Person1#: Me too. In fact, I'm free until 1
#Person2#: So if you want to meet at 10
#Person1#: It sounds good. I will bring the papers I'm working on.
#Person2#: And I will bring my textbook and a tape recorder. I would like to record some things so I can practice on my own.
#Person1#: Let me give you my phone number.
#Person2#: Sure. I'll give you mine too. Then we can call if we have to cancel for some reason.

rat: Surely it is to your liking though? Apart from the inert goblin?
bat: Well, so long as the ceiling doesn't fall down while I'm trying to sleep, I suppose.
rat: Ah yes cousin, sleeping upside down has its drawbacks. Have you ever considered doing it the sensible way?
bat: Is it sensible to lay on the ground where just *anyone* could attack you though?
rat: True .. there is a strange humming noise around here
bat: Ah, you hear it too? Thank goodness, I thought I was losing my hearing. Now *that* would be a difficulty for me. Has it gotten louder, though, do you think?
rat: It is loud enough that it is causing me irritation
bat: Are your paws strong enough to work that ax there? Perhaps we could cut down the wood there a bit to cave in just the back of it. It's making me a little nervous, now...
rat: I know not if my paws are strong enough but I am happy to try

Aubrey: I don't know, maybe I'll talk to him, but I don't want to put to much pressure on him.
Aubrey: It has to be his decision.

#Person1#: Are you going to the demonstration to help stop the spread of nuclear weapons tomorrow, Cleo?
#Person2#: No, Simon. I hate demonstrations. I have heard the police will be standing by with tear gas.
#Person1#: Yes, but North Korea boasts it has nuclear arms.
#Person2#: One hundred ninety countries have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but the issues are just too complex. There are two sides to every story. I don't understand it and I have no intention of going to a demonstration. Demonstrations don't seem to accomplish anything anyway.
#Person1#: Several demonstrations have changed politician's minds throughout history. As a responsible citizen I think it is important to stand up for what you believe in.
#Person2#: Leave it to someone else. As I said, if you listen to both sides of a story, both sides have some good points. Why should I demonstrate and risk getting hurt for something that I am not even sure is right?
#Person1#: You are not likely to get hurt. This will be a peaceful demonstration. I have spoken to the organizer for the university group. He insists that this will be peaceful. He advocates if you want world peace, peace begins at home-and that means right here in this city.
#Person2#: You go if you want, Simon, but I plan to study for my physics exam.
#Person1#: It would only take two hours of your day. The bus leaves the campus at 11:30 and leaves downtown to return to campus at 12:45. You could eat your lunch on the bus.
#Person2#: I am not going, Simon. Why don't you ask the students in your political science class this afternoon if they want to go?
#Person1#: They are all going.
#Person2#: Okay, Simon. I need to meet my sister for coffee now.
#Person1#: Bye then. See you in physics class tomorrow.

Simon and Cleo have different opinions towards the demonstration to help stop the spread of nuclear weapons. Cleo thinks it is useless, while Simon considers that Cleo should go to the demonstration.

priest: What abomination is this? A talking roach? Is this a test from the Almighty, or have I spent to much time alone among the pews?
roach: I may be real or you may be losing it! But somehow i am strong enough to carry a shoe! haha
priest: That is enough of you! I recognize this evil spirit! The wizard of the north! I warned you of your black magic. Do not lie to me about your identity!
roach: Ha! Got your bible!
priest: Holy Water it is for you! Evil Wizard! I am here to help the needy, not provide pest control to the church, but it seem the Lord needs me.
roach: I am only trying to survive and avoid shoe bottoms.
priest: My pesky friend, I am well respected in this town. It would do me no good to wage a war with man or beast. The Lord is the maker of us all. Evil has changed you into something that you cannot control. Your sins are forgiven, child.
roach: Thanks very much Preacher. I shall keep out of your way!

person: Perhaps a percentage of the royal coffers can go towards better infrastructure and health care in the villages. It's quite shocking what years of neglect have done to parts of this kingdom. Thank goodness you are a man of change, your majesty.
king: I agree - I daresay, free medicare for all? It would pay for itself in the long run don't you think? Peasants spend less time being sick, plagues are harder to spread - don't have to worry about choosing between treating their child or their cow? Has potential?
person: The upfront cost will be quite demanding on your personal riches, your majesty. Are you prepared to sacrifice the life of absolute luxury that past monarchs have enjoyed?
king: As I said, the ways of the past are behind us - these luxuries serve no use if people are starving in the streets. What is a King without silks? Still a King. Without furs? Still a King, Without a people? Nothing.

Ella: Hi there! Howdy? Haven't heard from you for ages.
Frank: Great to hear from you. We are fine, packing for our winter hols. And yourselves?
Ella: Good, I suppose, if you disregard Edward's never ending string of illness and mine funny tummy ;(
Frank: Oh dear. Doesn't sound too good. What are Edward's new problems? Never heard about you having upset stomach!
Ella: I've picked up a nasty stomach bug, been in bed for 4 days and slowly recovering.
Frank: Oh poor you! Are you curing yourself or have you consulted a doc?
Ella: I called the pharmacist this morning and learned that the constant pain in my gut and bowel is too much acid and imbalance in the flora.
Frank: Does it mean you've been eating wrong things or what?
Ella: Probably. I'll change my diet today and up the supplements I'm taking.
Frank: And give up on alcohol entirely?
Ella: Oh yes. Regrettably...
Frank: What sort of supps are you taking?
Ella: At the moment only electrolytes.
Frank: You wouldn't go to a proper doc surgery and have your tummy tested?
Ella: Will do if this doesn't pass.
Frank: Be sensible. Diet itself may not be enough. Are you drinking enough liquids?
Ella: Lemon tea.
Ella: Fresh lemon.
Frank: But it being acid, does it agree with your bowels?!
Ella: I thought it's beneficial.
Frank: Add at least honey. And stick to more diary products.
Ella: Actually I'm cutting out butter and replacing it with avo.
Frank: Right. Hope you'll get better soon. But do consider proper medical consultation.
Ella: I will if I don't feel better by tomorrow.
Frank: Especially if it's still painful. Constant pain would be a signal for me that sth's wrong.
Ella: In fact it is. Yes, I'll call our GP now.
Frank: You'd better do. I wish you a quick recovery!
Ella: Thank you, Frank. You are a darling.
Frank: Take care!
