873	17-160	[ "What do you think of Professor Potter's course, Jane?", "Not much.", "Why, what's wrong with it?", "Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same-a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ...", "No general overview you mean?", "Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings.", "But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed.", "Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details.", "Now you're exaggerating.", "Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose.", "You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good.", "Do you really think so?", "He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information.", "The main thing I object to is the lack of direction." ]
877	5-240	[ "I'm sorry, Madam, the plane is somewhat behind the schedule. Take a seat. I'll inform you as soon as we know something definite.", "Thank you. I'd rather look around and I'll be back in several minutes." ]
878	4-1000	[ "Welcome.", "Hi, John. Hey, you've done a good job decorating this place, really nice.", "Thanks, I am glad you like it. Can I get you a drink?", "No, thanks. Let's make dinner.

It's in a yellow plastic container.", "Wow, this smells good.", "Could yon pass those potatoes to me, please?", "What are we having?", "My special dumplings, sweet and sour pork, beef with onions and green peppers, and a few side dishes like tomatoes with sugar.", "Sounds wonderful. What are you going to do next?", "I'll start preparing the meat stuffing.", "The dumplings are great. I wish I had the recipe.

890	4-1457	[ "Nice weather we're having, don't you think?", "No. It is too cold.", "I think it is just right.", "I'd prefer it a few degrees warmer." ]
891	5-898	[ "I can't make up my mind whether to ask Larry or Bill to paint the house.", "What difference does it make? They're both excellent painters. And I think we just need to check who is available the day after tomorrow." ]
892	12-609	[ "So tired these days. I think we should stay at home watching TV this weekend.", "Great." ]
893	21-307	[ "David,I think Friday is bad for a party;we are too tired to stay up all night. Saturday would be better.", "All right. Then we put it off to Saturday." ]
894	4-1468	[ "Can I help you?", "I need to find this specific magazine, and I am not sure where to look for.", "How old is the magazine? Is it a recent magazine less than a year old or is it an old magazine?", "You need to know how old the magazine is to find it?", "Yes, the more recent magazines are in the magazine reading room on the second floor, but after a year, magazines are tied together and kept on the third floor.", "Well, the magazine I want to find is more than a year old, so that means I need to go to the second floor. Oh,excuse me, what am I saying, the third floor.", "That's right, the third floor.", "Thank you for your help." ]
897	21-319	[ "Have you started working on your paper?", "Yeah. I'm doing it on ants and how they're able to recognize." ]
898	5-178	[ "Could you tell me the timetable of the school bus?", "Well, the bus leaves here for the campus every two hours from 7:00 a.m.. But on Saturdays it starts half an hour later." ]
899	14-183	[ "Is this your umbrella, Miss?", "Oh yes, it is. Thank you. I was looking for it just now.", "You look a bit familiar to me. I wonder if we have met somewhere before?", "Have we?", "May I ask where you live?", "Just two blocks away, in that tall building.", "That's it. I live there too. I am on the 8th floor.", "It's a small world. We live on the same floor.", "I'm Adam Smith. May I know your name?", "I'm glad to know you. Mr. Smith. I'm Lily Brown." ]
902	4-868	[ "Excuse me. I wonder if you could tell us where we can find the manager Mr. Parker.", "Certainly. He should be at the office on the third floor. I'm going that way. I'll show you." ]
903	5-439	[ "What do you think of the government's new tax cut proposal?", "Though it may give some benefit to the poor, its key component is the elimination of tax on dividends. That means the rich will get richer." ]

906	10-56	[ "Operator, I booked a long-distance collect call for my sister in Switzerland 25 minutes ago, but I haven't got a reply yet.", "Sorry, I ring it for you right now." ]
907	14-167	[ "Hello, Betty. I've got your CV. Now, tell me a little about yourself. First, what language can you speak?", "I can speak English, and of course French. And a little Japanese.", "Can you use a computer and fax machine?", "Sure, I can send faxes, e-mails and so on. I can work at the front desk.", "Well, there are a lot of other jobs here, so I need to find out what else you can do. Can you swim? We have swimming pool here.", "Yes, I'm good at swimming.", "We also have four restaurants, and one coffee shop. Can you wait tables?", "Yes, I used to work as a waitress at a restaurant.", "How about weekends? That's the busiest time. Can you work on weekends?", "Umm, I can work only on Sundays. I have to take a course on Saturdays.", "I see. Now the most important question is: Do you like working with people? At a hotel, you must work with people all day.", "Yeah, I can get on well with people. I come from a big family.", "Well, Betty. Thank you for coming in today. I will give you a call in a few days.", "OK. Thanks." ]

You see, I put some soil in the box, sow the seed carefully like this, and then cover it with more soil. I'll keep the box in the shade so that the sun doesn't burn the little plants.", "Is that all?", "No. Later, in a few weeks' time I'll put the little plants in the earth. Then I'll water them to stop the soil from getting too dry. Several weeks after that, I will plant them in rows in the field.", "Do you have to feed plants like you feed chickens? Or do they grow up by themselves?", "In fact they grow better if you feed them. When the plants are in the ground I'll put some powder on the soil. The powder is made from fish, blood and bones. It'll make the cabbage plants grow big and strong.", "Like me!" ]

919	10-7	[ "Ah, good morning. It's Mr. Robinson, isn't it?", "Yes.", "Have a seat.", "Thank you.", "OK. I've got your letter of application. Now, as you know, when you apply for a post with our company, we need to find our a few things about both your academic background and recent work experience.", "Sure.", "First of all, A-levels?", "Yes, I've got three. Geography, maths and physics.", "Geography, maths and physics. OK. And what about your degree?", "I went to Manchester University and got an engineer degree with water management as my specialization.", "A-ha, I see.", "And as for work experience, I started it out after graduating in 1996 in India, working for the Indian Government.", "Did you work as a volunteer?", "No, it was a three-year water irrigation project.", "That sounds fascinating. How did you organize that? You see it wasn't a British company then.", "No, I know. My university had links with an Indian engineering university. So it was organized that level.", "And after that?", "Then I came back, moved to Sheffield and have been working with Latimer Engineering since then.", "And what exactly are you doing for Latimer?", "Ah, I'm working in water irrigation again, this time as a project research assistant.", "Great. I've got your details. Now, let's move on to a more general discussion about what we are looking for here..." ]
922	5-446	[ "Congratulations! I just heard about your acceptance in the law school. Do you think you would join your brother's firm after graduation?", "Not likely. He is a tax lawyer, and I am going to major in criminal law." ]
926	17-217	[ "Did you finish your college when your father died in 1965?", "No, I finished school a year before he died." ]

929	5-777	[ "Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.", "Yes, but I'm not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Couldyou tell us something about that?", "Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it's still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain's machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there's still a little. But it's no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?", "Yes, thanks.", "Now, to get back to what I was saying, there's a lot of unemployment as wellas geographical problems in the region.", "Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?", "Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and betterroads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we'll see this in more detail, so we'll come back to this question, OK?", "OK, right.", "So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and thelevel of training and education. In general, it's very good and improving." ]
932	4-1257	[ "Come to my office, Billy. Look at your messy hair. This is the third time you have been late for class within this week. And every time you went in, you disturbed the teacher's class.", "Sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to do that, but it was my alarm clock that didn't wake me up.", "That is not a proper excuse. You could set it ahead of the exact time so that you could have got up earlier and not have been late.", "I did that, but it seemed useless when I found the batteries had run out after I woke up this morning. I rushed to school and luckily, my neighbour Mr. Green gave me a hand and took me to school with his car.", "So you could have made it. But you were still late for class.", "The thing is, when I got off, I found I had left my bag in his car. And it was too late to get it back when I realized that. I went straight to the nearest shop and gave him a call. I waited for five minutes before Mr. Green drove back.", "Finally, he gave you your bag and you came to the classroom and you were already 15 minutes late for class at that time. Is that all?", "Miss, you seem to know the entire story. May I go back to class now? Otherwise I will be late for the following class." ]
935	12-375	[ "Have you found your key?", "Yes, I've found it under the table." ]
936	5-845	[ "Is this table on the corner okay?", "Sure, we can sit here. Be seated.", "Gee, you've hardly got anything on your tray.", "Yeah, I guess I'm just not that hungry.", "What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?", "Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the repair shop again!", "Really? What's wrong this time?", "I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes I think.", "Well, at least that shouldn't cost too much to fix. Parts are cheaper for old American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?", "He said he'd call me with an estimate later on today.", "Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you.", "What do you mean?", "Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.", "Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He's done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable.", "Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, did you need a ride home after class today?", "Oh, I'll sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus.", "You are right, I think now you should think about moving back to your dormitory. If I were you, I would be fed up with those troubles." ]
939	7-4	[ "There will be a party at my new house this Saturday. Would you like to come?", "That sounds good, but I have French class in the morning and dance class in the afternoon.", "That's OK. The party is to start in the evening, and you can come after the dance class.", "Great! Should I bring something?", "Yes, it's a potluck party, so you should prepare something to eat.", "No problem. A roast turkey, salad, or pudding... I was wondering which to prepare.", "Anything will be fine.", "I think I'm good at pudding. I'll make banana-flavored pudding for you.", "Nice. See you then." ]
941	14-21	[ "John, my dad's new MP3 player seems to be missing. Did you move it?", "No, I didn't. Isn't it right next to the computer?", "No, and I don't see it anywhere. I have the feeling one of our party guests took it.", "Really? What are you going to do now?", "I'll just tell my parents what happened, I guess.", "Then they'll know you had people over without permission. Won't they be angry about that?", "Probably. I wish I'd done that from the start, instead of keeping my plans secret. They'd have said no to a party, and the MP3 player would still be here." ]
943	15-161	[ "Lin Yang. It's twelve already. What about having some thing to eat?", "Are you hungry?", "Well, I am a bit. Aren't you?", "Not very. But I don't mind going somewhere for a light meal.", "Where shall we go? What about McDonald's?", "I'm fed up with French fries and hamburgers. I think we'd better go to the restaurant around the corner. It's a family-type. It serves good food at very reasonable prices.", "OK, let's go." ]
945	4-864	[ "Excuse me, I'm trying to do some work. I'm afraid your children are making a lot of noise. Don't they ever go to sleep?", "I'm sorry. They are noisy. But you know it's difficult to keep boys quiet.", "I couldn't work and I couldn't sleep at night. And I was woken by the noise they made early this morning.", "I'm terribly sorry. You know they never listen to me. They're only afraid of their father. He's away on business, but he will be back tomorrow.", "I hope he can do something about it." ]
948	4-1085	[ "Hi, my name is Drake.", "Hi, I'm Maria.", "Are you traveling from the U.S. as well? I didn't expect this train to be so nice!", "I'm actually from France. I'm going to Spain next." ]
949	17-3	[ "That's a nice dress you're wearing.", "Thank you. My father gave it to me as a birthday present. He knows red's my favourite colour." ]
951	9-118	[ "Let's back up. Where was I?", "You were talking about your trip to South Africa. I bet you had a great time.", "Yes, we did. In fact, you know what we encountered.", "A long-last friend?", "Come on! A lion." ]
952	17-323	[ "Have you got any aspirin? I've got a terrible headache.", "I'll just look. I think I've got some in my bag. Oh, no, sorry, I haven't got any." ]
953	5-392	[ "Thank you for your helpful assistance. Otherwise, I'd surely have missed it. The place is so out of the way.", "It was a pleasure meeting you. Good bye!" ]
954	12-603	[ "Good evening, madam. A table for two?", "No, three, a friend will be joining us later. By the way, I prefer that the table in the corner." ]
955	5-651	[ "Dear, I feel hungry now. How about you?", "So do I. Let me call Room Service. Hello, Room Service? Please send a menu to 320 right away." ]
956	4-631	[ "Did you enjoy the dinner party?", "No, and if we're ever invited there again, I shall refuse to sit next to Betty." ]
957	4-201	[ "What's wrong, Peter?", "Can you believe this? I locked my keys in the car and I have to go to the airport to pick up my aunt.", "So, what are you going to do?", "I don't know. Do you think I could borrow your car for a few hours?", "I'm sorry, but I really need it this afternoon.", "Well, could you drive me home then? I have spare keys there.", "That's no problem.", "Do you have a quarter for the phone? My wallet's in the car, too.", "Here you are. Anything else?", "No, that's it. I really appreciate it." ]
960	5-792	[ "Your chemistry examination is over, isn't it? Why do you still look so worried?", "I don't know. It wasn't that the questions were too hard, or they were too many of them. But I'm still feeling uneasy because the exam didn't seem to have much to do with the course material." ]

You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name.", "I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think.", "Those stories are also great for classroom use.", "How's that?", "Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.", "So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over again.", "Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun.", "Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun.

I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings.", "But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed.", "Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details.", "Now you're exaggerating.", "Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose.", "You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good.", "Do you really think so?", "He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is.

Then I'll water them to stop the soil from getting too dry. Several weeks after that, I will plant them in rows in the field.", "Do you have to feed plants like you feed chickens?

How did you organize that? You see it wasn't a British company then.", "No, I know. My university had links with an Indian engineering university.

Couldyou tell us something about that?", "Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it's still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain's machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there's still a little. But it's no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?", "Yes, thanks.", "Now, to get back to what I was saying, there's a lot of unemployment as wellas geographical problems in the region.", "Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?", "Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and betterroads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we'll see this in more detail, so we'll come back to this question, OK?", "OK, right.", "So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and thelevel of training and education.

You could set it ahead of the exact time so that you could have got up earlier and not have been late.", "I did that, but it seemed useless when I found the batteries had run out after I woke up this morning. I rushed to school and luckily, my neighbour Mr. Green gave me a hand and took me to school with his car.", "So you could have made it. But you were still late for class.", "The thing is, when I got off, I found I had left my bag in his car. And it was too late to get it back when I realized that. I went straight to the nearest shop and gave him a call. I waited for five minutes before Mr. Green drove back.", "Finally, he gave you your bag and you came to the classroom and you were already 15 minutes late for class at that time.

Something's wrong with the brakes I think.", "Well, at least that shouldn't cost too much to fix. Parts are cheaper for old American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?", "He said he'd call me with an estimate later on today.", "Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you.", "What do you mean?", "Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.", "Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He's done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable.", "Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, did you need a ride home after class today?", "Oh, I'll sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus.", "You are right, I think now you should think about moving back to your dormitory. If I were you, I would be fed up with those troubles." ]

[ "There will be a party at my new house this Saturday. Would you like to come?", "That sounds good, but I have French class in the morning and dance class in the afternoon.", "That's OK. The party is to start in the evening, and you can come after the dance class.", "Great! Should I bring something?", "Yes, it's a potluck party, so you should prepare something to eat.", "No problem. A roast turkey, salad, or pudding... I was wondering which to prepare.", "Anything will be fine.", "I think I'm good at pudding. I'll make banana-flavored pudding for you.", "Nice. See you then." ]

[ "John, my dad's new MP3 player seems to be missing. Did you move it?", "No, I didn't. Isn't it right next to the computer?", "No, and I don't see it anywhere. I have the feeling one of our party guests took it.", "Really? What are you going to do now?", "I'll just tell my parents what happened, I guess.", "Then they'll know you had people over without permission. Won't they be angry about that?", "Probably. I wish I'd done that from the start, instead of keeping my plans secret. They'd have said no to a party, and the MP3 player would still be here." ]

I think we'd better go to the restaurant around the corner. It's a family-type. It serves good food at very reasonable prices.", "OK, let's go." ]

You know they never listen to me. They're only afraid of their father. He's away on business, but he will be back tomorrow.", "I hope he can do something about it." ]

I have spare keys there.", "That's no problem.", "Do you have a quarter for the phone? My wallet's in the car, too.", "Here you are. Anything else?", "No, that's it. I really appreciate it." ]

[ "Your chemistry examination is over, isn't it? Why do you still look so worried?", "I don't know. It wasn't that the questions were too hard, or they were too many of them. But I'm still feeling uneasy because the exam didn't seem to have much to do with the course material." ]

I can use this to fulfill the requirement for my course.", "Have you finished the first assignment yet?", "Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you?", "I started this afternoon. It's great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Seuss.", "Doctor Seuss? I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list.", "His full name's Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name.", "I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think.", "Those stories are also great for classroom use.", "How's that?", "Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.", "So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over again.", "Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun.", "Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I'll get started on those readings tonight." ]

The traffic lights on York Road changed to green, and a delivery lorry began to move forward at about 5 miles per hour. The driver of the car probably didn't see that his traffic light has changed from orange to red, and ran into the side of the lorry.", "That's correct." ]
