One day , he was approached by members of the CIA , claiming that my father had made the discovery of the millennium in his small lab back at the university where he taught bio-chemistry . I never saw him again . I vowed to discover the whereabouts of my father and consequently joined the Indian Intelligence Bureau . <|end|>

<|start|> A: There is a tornado warning on . My mother just told me she heard it on the radio . <|end|>
<|start|> B: What is a tornado warning ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: It means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in the area . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Really ? In New Berlin ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: No . Not necessarily in town . But in southern Wisconsin somewhere . A tornado has been spotted . They have two stages here.This is what is called a tornado watch . That means that the weather conditions are perfect for a tornado . <|end|>
<|start|> B: I understand . They think a tornado might come . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Yes . People should look out , because maybe there will be tornadoes coming.So it 's called a watch . <|end|>
<|start|> B: And the second stage is called a tornado warning . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Yes . If a tornado has been spotted , they announce a tornado warning.So if there 's a tornado warning on , it means a tornado is out there somewhere . <|end|>
<|start|> B: It 's scary . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Well . Tornadoes can be dangerous , it 's true.If we hear something like a loud train coming , then we have to go in the basement . <|end|>
<|start|> B: What do you mean a loud train ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: That is what tornadoes sound like . They sound like trains . They 're very loud . <|end|>
<|start|> B: But if you hear them coming , is n't it already too late ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: Maybe . It depends on the tornado.Some can move across the ground at 200 miles an hour.That is very fast . Others are n't so fast . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Have you seen a lot of them ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: I 've only seen one in my life . I was looking out the window . It was around two miles away . It was very interesting to watch.But it was heading toward my friend 's house . So I quickly called them on the phone . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Did it hit their house ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: No , it did n't . But they are glad I called them . <|end|>
<|start|> B: What were they doing when you called ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: They were all sitting in the living room watching TV.They had no idea a tornado was coming toward their house.If it had hit them , they could have all been killed . <|end|>

<|start|> B: Such as your land line phone number , mobile phone number and e-mail box . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Anything else ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: Then you should write your objectives , such as seeking a position in foreign trade . <|end|>
<|start|> A: I see . It is the position desired <|end|>
<|start|> B: Yes . After that you should emphasize your skills , educational background and related experience . <|end|>
<|start|> A: I see . Skills are about specialty , and educational background is easy as well . But what about related experience ? I have little work experience . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Do n't worry . It will take time to accumulate experience . You need to be confident for yourself . <|end|>
<|start|> A: I see . By the way , should I write the educational background starting from elementary school ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: Generally from the college <|end|>

<|start|> A: What kind of car is best for me ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: For you , I would recommend this one here . <|end|>
<|start|> A: The compact ? Why do you think that one is better than the others ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: This automobile is just right for your needs because not only is it compact for ease in city driving , but also , it has many safety features . I know that as a parent , you are concerned about safety in driving your kids to and from school . <|end|>
<|start|> A: That 's true . What kind of safety features are we talking about ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: This model features anti-lock brakes , airbags on both driver and passenger sides , and impact collision design . But that 's not all . This car is n't only safe but it 's also very economical . <|end|>
<|start|> A: You mean it has a cheaper price than similar models ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: Yes , this price is very affordable , but driving this car you 'll also notice a significant annual saving in gas consumption . The main attraction for this model is the fuel economy . <|end|>
<|start|> A: With the cost of gasoline these days , that is a big plus . I think this model may be just what I 'm looking for . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Why do n't you take it for a test drive , and think it over . </s> |
<|start|> A: What characteristics should an interpreter own ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: I think he should be an expert of everything . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Why is that ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: Because English is nothing but a tool which is used when people may negotiate in international conferences , probe into physics , release some information in a press conferrence , and do anything we can do with language . Therefore , an interpreter has to know some expertise in the field he / she serves as an interpreter . Otherwise he / she can not carry out his / her work smoothly . </s> |
<|start|> A: That sounds pretty good . But is n't downloading music illegal ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: Not if you pay for it . For example , if you download from iTunes and pay with your credit card , it 's legal . <|end|>

<|start|> A: How do you usually get to school ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: I usually ride my bike . Which form of transport do you prefer to use ? <|end|>
<|start|> A: I feel that I can see more when I pedal a bicycle , but when I feel lazy , I drive my car . <|end|>
<|start|> B: I think we should discourage people from using their private cars . They produce too much pollution ! <|end|>
<|start|> A: I agree , but I would find it difficult to stop using my car . It 's just so convenient . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Cars might be convenient , but they 're so bad for the environment . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Do you have a car ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: No . I used to have one though . Once I started using my bicycle to get around , I found that I did n't really need it . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Maybe if I sold my car now , I would n't be so tempted to use it . <|end|>
<|start|> B: You could try . It would save you a lot of money . <|end|>
<|start|> A: That 's true . Every month , I spend hundreds of dollars on gas , insurance , and repairs . <|end|>
<|start|> B: If you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving , you will get lots of exercise , too ! <|end|>
<|start|> A: I could stand to lose a few pounds . Having a car has made me lazy . I never end up walking anywhere ! <|end|>
<|start|> B: Let 's go to a car dealership . I 'll help you try to sell your car for a good price . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Sounds good ! Let 's go ! </s> |
<|start|> A: So , now I need your help again , if you do n't mind . I 'm taking a date to a restaurant . <|end|>

<|start|> A: She strikes me as being very sophisticated . Only the best will do for her . <|end|>

<|start|> A: I do n't want to be cooped up in my own hotel tonight . How about another restaurant ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: The Gramercy Tavern is highly rated . It has great food and live jazz , but it 's not cheap . <|end|>

<|start|> A: Do you speak only English in the class , or does your teacher explain everything to you in Spanish ? <|end|>

<|start|> A: I suppose she 's right . Does she speak English very slowly ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: Not always . Sometimes we do n't understand her . Then she has to repeat what she said . <|end|>
<|start|> A: It must be interesting to study English . <|end|>
<|start|> B: Mario and I are the best students in the class . Miss Parker says that my pronunciation is very good . <|end|>

<|start|> A: Hi , Mr . Zhang . What ' s wrong ? You don ' t look so happy . How was your date ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: I was turned down again . It ' s frustrating . I guess you ' Ve got to teach me some skills . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Me ? I ' m even less experienced than you are . <|end|>
<|start|> B: At least you know what American women generally like in a man . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Believe it or not , I guess American women like a man in good shape , which Chinese women may not care about so much . That ' s my honest opinion . I know you have been trying very hard . <|end|>
<|start|> B: American men are naturally taller than Chinese men . So even if I exercise , there aren ' t many chances . <|end|>
<|start|> A: No , that ' s not true . I ' Ve met two American women who were married to Chinese . But those Chinese look very strong and healthy . So if you exercise more often , I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls . How old is Jacky Chan ? He ' s small and short . But I bet he can have any American woman he wants . <|end|>
<|start|> B: You know , that ' s going to be a tremendous change for me . Because I never exercise . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Why don ' t you try then ? Even if it doesn ' t help you find an American girl , you could still have a stronger and healthier body . You won ' t lose anything by doing that . </s> |

<|start|> A: No , I must know today because we have to go to press for the advertisements . Is there anyway you can speed up the process of checking inventory ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: We can do that , but it will cost ... If we have to check our inventory with all our guys on overtime , you 're looking at an increased cost of , I 'd say , maybe 10% . <|end|>
<|start|> A: Are you kidding ? <|end|>
<|start|> B: No , and let me tell you why ... If I make my guys stay over to check the inventory , I 'll have to pay them at an overtime rate , which is time and a half . I estimate it will probably take 3 guys two hours to finish , that will be an increase on your labor fee by at least 10% ... if you need the numbers that urgently , I can have them do it . Otherwise , we can wait until tomorrow morning , and I 'll call you with the numbers after they 're done . It 's your call ... </s> |
