#Person1#: What are pubs?
#Person2#: Pubs in England are friendly and warm places where you can have a drink and usually a simple meal.
#Person1#: What kind of drinks do people get?
#Person2#: You can get wine and beer in most pubs. Many also serve coffee. You go to the counter to order and pay for your drinks.
#Person1#: When do people go to the pubs?
#Person2#: Pubs are not open all day. They can decide when to open. Most are open for 3 or 4 hours at lunchtime and again from about 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. In busy areas, pubs may stay open from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Are there pubs in China?
#Person1#: Yes. Most of the customers are young people. They like to hang out with their friends after work and have fun.
#Person2#: It is against the law in England to go into a pub if you are under the age of l4. So many pubs provide a special room for children.

#Person2#: Uh...Sorry, Miss Smith. I had a mid term exam for my literature course and I... I had to do some last minute revision for it. Yes, I will certainly be at the class today, though. Sorry, I missed the experiment yesterday.
#Person1#: Hmm...I don't really think reviewing for an English literature exam is a very good excuse, do you?
#Person2#: No, you're right. It isn't a good excuse at all. It's just that I did a very similar experiment in chemistry 101 last time, so I felt I probably wouldn't miss too much.

#Person1#: It's hard to be optimistic about things with the way the economy's headed... The trade deficit is getting larger, consumption's down, I really think we're headed for a recession.
#Person2#: The economy has been stagnant for a while now. We've been in a recessive state for several months already. What worries me the most is the trade deficit. I think the government should do more to encourage exports.
#Person1#: Increasing exports would weaken the currency. I think the main point is economic growth. We need more jobs. Factories have outsourced and moved many jobs to foreign countries. The result is an increase in unemployment in our own country, lower consumption, lower production, and an overall feeble economy. If more people are working, it will give the economy a boost.
#Person2#: It's true that we should do something about unemployment, but what about inflation? If unemployment falls, there's pressure to increase pay. That would result in inflation, which would result in a much less dynamic economy.

With the stagnant economy, #Person2# thinks the government should do more to encourage exports to deal with the trade deficit, while #Person1# thinks unemployment should be solved first.

#Person2#: Yeah, yeah, we're here because we feel this is an injustice! The financial irresponsibility of big business has to stop! We're there to show the government that we don't like the way that they're spending our tax dollars!
#Person1#: Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry?
#Person2#: It's an absolute outrage, Sarah, the US government wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers'money to the auto industry. These are companies that have been mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt.
#Person1#: I see. But, many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans.
#Person2#: That maybe true, and I for one don't want to see anyone lose their job, but how can these Ces ask for a bailout when they're making millions of dollars? And then, they have the nerve to fly to Washington in private jets! This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! And they're asking for money! That is just not right!

#Person1#: Oh, red makes me tense. I'd rather wear the yellow T-shirt.
#Person2#: The yellow one? Why?
#Person1#: Because it makes me feel relaxed and look confident.
