986	5-832	[ "Wow, look at all these old books on this shelf. They've got to be at least one hundred years old. I'll bet they're worth a lot to collectors.", "Well. They've got a lot of sentimental value for me, and that's all about it." ]
987	20-71	[ "I don't know what Jim's got to grumble about. My work load has doubled in the past year and I still manage. He is not doing anything different from when he arrived, as far as I can see.", "Yeah, but he's not as energetic as you are. Well, no one is. But the boss doesn't blame me when I get a bit behind. He is very understanding with me. But with Jim, he goes on and on.", "I haven't noticed it. But you're probably right. I wonder why he does it." ]
988	4-240	[ "Where shall I drop you off, sir?", "I'm going to the airport, but please stop at the Healey Supermarket. My wife is waiting for me there. We're going to Canada together." ]
989	4-1511	[ "Would you please tell me about your best holiday, Nancy?", "Well, it was my trip in Nepal. We went there 10 years ago, doing some walking in the mountains.", "How long did you stay there?", "20 days.", "20 days! That's a long time. How far did you walk every day?", "Perhaps 15 kilometers. You have to climb up and down a lot every day.", "So, it was very hard.", "Yes, very hard. Sometimes, it's difficult to walk in the mountains where the air is very thin, and you have a lot of problems when breathing.", "What kind of equipment did you take?", "Not much. Only a bag, a sleeping bag and some warm clothing. We carried all the things by ourselves.", "And how was the food?", "There was rice and some vegetables, normally no meat. But it was good.", "What was the best thing about the trip?", "The walking and the exercise. I hate sitting in the sun and like to be out in the countryside. The air is very clean and it's very quiet. Nepal is a good place. You must go!" ]
992	21-249	[ "Why didn't you call me last night. Peter?", "I did. But your line was always busy." ]
993	17-275	[ "How do you feel about flying?", "I don't mind flying. What I don't like is not being able to keep an eye on my luggage. Whenever the man at the airport hakes my luggage, I never expect to see again.", "There is always a chance it will fly to Paris while you fly to Rome. Has anything like that ever happened to you?", "No, but it has happened to other people. Just the other day. I heard about a Japanese woman who lost her suitcase. It was a true story. She was on one of those five-day tours around Europe.", "Where did her suitcase get lost?", "I don't think she ever find out. When she arrived in Europe, her suitcase wasn't there. She had to travel through four countries in the same clothes.", "I suppose she bought another toothbrush at least. Couldn't she buy another dress?", "No, she had spent all her money on the tickets for the tour. Besides, she never had time to shop. Every time they reached another airport, she had spent her time in the luggage room looking for her suitcase.", "What a way to spend the vacation!" ]
997	13-8	[ "Can I borrow the book in your hand?", "Yes, but I haven't finished reading it yet." ]
998	12-100	[ "Look at the workers there with thick glasses over their eyes.", "Don't you know they can keep their eyes safe?" ]
999	3-79	[ "Congratulations, Betty.", "Thank you. What about Peter?", "Oh, he dropped the stick.", "Bad luck! Do you know who won the high jump?", "Joe from our class.", "Your class do very well at the sports meeting. By the way, what sport are you taking part in?", "Swimming.", "Good luck to you.", "Thank you." ]
1,002	7-183	[ "Look at the clouds, I'm afraid it'll rain soon.", "You could be right, but it's not what the weather report said.", "What did the weather report say?", "It said it'd be fine all day today." ]
1,003	4-878	[ "Excuse me, but I think you've made a wrong turn. You were supposed to turn left on Wilson Boulevard.", "Oh, I am sorry. Didn't you say 1323 Wilson?", "No, 3023. It is OK though. You don't have to take me there. I can walk from here.", "Why don't I just make a U-turn there? It's a one-way street; see the sign up ahead. Maybe if I turn left here, I can come down the next street.", "We can't do that during rush hour really, though it won't be much trouble. Sometimes one can wait 30 minutes for a taxi, so I'm happy to get this close.", "30 minutes! I've been riding around all day looking for passengers." ]
1,006	15-160	[ "Does John have your suitcase?", "No, Bob does." ]
1,007	4-1296	[ "So how were your schooldays when you were a child, Joan?", "Well, from seven to twelve I went to a school in Belgium.", "In Belgium? How come?", "It was my father's idea. One of his friends was sending his daughter, and my father wanted to impress his friend so he decided to send me, too.", "Just to impress a friend? It's hard to believe. So what was it like?", "We had to get up early and go to church before class. And at mealtimes we just had to sit silently with our hands folded in our laps. And I wasn't allowed to speak English at all. I had to learn French but nobody taught me. I just had to sit in the lessons and try to understand.", "It's awful for a child of seven!", "And they were terribly strict about manners! I suppose that was one good thing. I had the most beautiful manners when I left." ]
1,010	21-276	[ "You look tired. Why don't you go and have a good rest?", "I wish I could, but I have to finish my report. My boss will need it tomorrow." ]
1,011	21-134	[ "I'm afraid John's busy at the moment, madam.", "Oh, dear. John always does my hair." ]
1,012	17-197	[ "How's your secretary, dear? Does she come on time?", "Yes... well, in fact, she resigned today." ]
1,013	5-578	[ "Can we make you an offer? We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks.", "Well, can we summarize the problem from my point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade affairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened?", "Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements.", "Uh, actually, you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time and in fact, we only asked for small changes.", "Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for 4 extra weeks?", "That's not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade affairs. Because of this, we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.", "Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign.", "We are not happy. We lost business.", "I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides.", "Ok, let's suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign?", "Well, let's take a break, we're not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this." ]
1,017	4-1152	[ "I like this apartment. Do you think we can afford it?", "Yes, I think so. It's not a very expensive apartment. It's in the right area, and it has everything that we are looking for. The rooms are quite large, too.", "I love the balcony. We can sit outside and enjoy the sun in summer. We are on the 12th floor now, so there's a very nice view from the balcony.", "The neighborhood is nice, too. There is a park nearby.", "Yes, and there are many houses nearby. I like it that the neighborhood isn't full of apartment blocks." ]
1,019	14-65	[ "When are you going to move into the dorm, Randy?", "I'm not sure. I'd like to be able to wait until after summer vacation." ]
1,020	21-21	[ "Do you think that Jim really fell in love with Alison?", "Of course! I've never seen him spend so much time and energy on the same person." ]
1,021	10-46	[ "Do you think you can play the music tape another time, dear? I've got a slight headache.", "Of course. Sorry. I didn't realize you could hear it. You want me to call the doctor?", "No, thanks. I'll be OK in a minute." ]
1,022	5-681	[ "It's so hot today. I simply can't work. I wish there were a fan in this room.", "So do I. I'll fall asleep if I stay here any longer." ]
1,023	13-149	[ "Now what seems to be the trouble, Mr Smith?", "I am running a temperature, and I'm coughing badly." ]
1,024	5-718	[ "Hi, Jane, do you have some change? I have to make a call on the pay phone.", "Pay phone? Why not use my mobile phone? Here you are." ]
1,025	12-385	[ "Where are you from?", "Northern Canada." ]
1,026	4-1205	[ "Did you get a present for Molly's birthday?", "Yes, she loves to listen to Johnny Holden's music. And she's got all his CDs. Then I saw this book that introduces Johnny Holden's life, so I got her this.", "Great idea!" ]
1,027	7-168	[ "I'm feeling hot, Ophra.", "Hot? It's windy and cold today. You must have got a cold. I'm afraid that you took off your coat while you played football with your friends yesterday afternoon.", "Yes. I felt sweat then. Oh, it's seven fifty now. My gosh! I'll be late if I don't drive to work in a hurry. I have an important meeting with my clients this morning.", "How do you feel now?", "Just a little headache.", "Then you'd better not go to work today. I think you've caught a cold. You'll have to see a doctor. But drink some water first.", "Yes, \"My sweety\". You sound like a doctor, Ophra.", "After leaving the nursing school, I have been working as a nurse in a hospital for over five years." ]
1,030	12-288	[ "Would you please give me change for a pound? It's for the phone box.", "Here you are." ]
1,031	15-10	[ "Can I see Titanic on Sunday?", "I'm not sure." ]
1,036	12-346	[ "Did you go to the meeting yesterday?", "Yes, I did. A famous scientist gave a talk at the meeting." ]

1,038	7-374	[ "Do you know how I can stop drinking too much coffee?", "No, but I wish I did. I spend too much money at cafe's." ]
1,039	21-114	[ "The front tyre is flat, and the seat needs to be raised.", "Why not take it to Mr. Smith?" ]
1,042	15-8	[ "Do you think we should bring a present to Mary's party?", "No, it's not her birthday. We'll just bring a bottle of wine." ]
1,043	9-35	[ "And I realized we were completely lost, but at least we got there in the end.", "Funny you should say that because, er, a similar thing happened to me one time when I was abroad. We were actually doing a concert in this bar in Germany.", "Really?", "I was actually about to appear on stage, you know, with the band, and I just thought, \"I'll just go out for a little walk and get some fresh air,\" 'cause I had about half an hour before we had to go on.", "Uh-huh.", "And I went outside,you know,had a look around, walked around for a bit... and then I decided to go back and, uh, I couldn't find it! It was about two minutes before we were supposed to start.", "No, you're joking!", "Yeah! I thought, \"Ah! What am I gonna do?\"", "Could you ask for directions?", "Well, I tried. I asked an old woman, but she didn't speak English, and I don't speak German...", "Don't you? Oh, right.", "And then, I realized I couldn't remember the name of the bar, or the street it was on or anything. So, you know, I was in the middle of a town I didn't know, not knowing the language... and luckily, I saw someone wearing one of our T-shirts. He was obviously going to the conceit, so I sort of followed him back to the bar.", "Wow, that was lucky! Thank goodness!", "And when I got there, the guys were like, \"Where have you been? We thought you'd run out on us!\" Anyway, we managed." ]
1,047	5-761	[ "I'm starving. Do we still have any pie left from the dinner yesterday?", "Oh, Julia invited her friends over in the afternoon and they ate it all." ]
1,048	13-165	[ "Robert wants to go with us to the party.", "But our car is too small to take four people." ]
1,049	14-305	[ "I know you want to talk about this washing machine. But I'd like to talk about my new computer.", "Let's keep to the point. We can talk about that later. All right?", "OK." ]
1,050	5-790	[ "I hear the Sunflower Health Club on Third Street is good!", "Not right now! I used to go there. I thought it was great because it was real cheap. But the problem was it was always crowded. Sometimes, I had to wait to use the machines." ]
1,051	11-125	[ "Let's go shopping this afternoon.", "Sorry. I have a friend to meet." ]
1,052	12-138	[ "He is sleeping.", "Don't bother him. He worked all night last night." ]
1,053	10-103	[ "Yes, is there something wrong?", "I think you've made a mistake. This isn't what I ordered. I asked for the red jacket, not the blue one!" ]
1,054	5-200	[ "Hello, I'm a senior student. Could you tell me whether this reference room is only for faculty members?", "No, it's a also open to the postgraduates; and undergraduates can come too if they're got professors' written permission." ]
1,055	5-146	[ "How about joining me for a cup of coffee?", "I'd love to, but I'm exhausted. I was up till 3 this morning, writing a paper for my literature class." ]
1,056	14-193	[ "Do you remember the days in our small cabin last summer?", "Yes, of course. I especially like the walk in the mountain.", "If you'd like to, we can go there again this summer.", "I'd love to enjoy the moment of peace out there." ]
1,060	7-220	[ "Waitress! I think there's something wrong with our bill.", "No, I don't think so...$10 for the drinks, 15 for the small plate, and 20 for the main dish.", "What? I knew the cheese sticks were 15. I always order cheese sticks, but I thought the main dish was $10.", "Oh, that explains it. You think the bill should be $35.", "Yes, exactly. I was wondering what happened to the rest of my change. I should have gotten back 15, not 5!", "I understand. Sometimes people aren't honest, but I think this was an honest mistake. Didn't you order the sea cucumbers for dinner?", "Yes, and they were delicious. Best cucumbers ever! I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian.", "Sir, I am so sorry. Have you ordered sea cucumbers before? They aren't vegetables, you know.", "Really? I thought it was a vegetable that grew in the ocean.", "No. They're seafood.", "Oh, no!", "I'm so sorry, sir. I assumed you understood what you were ordering.", "Actually, Jenny took my order. Maybe I can talk to her.", "She had an emergency at home. I came in to take over her tables. But I'm sure if I talk to the manager, we can give you a discount for the order.", "That's OK." ]
1,063	12-245	[ "Have you found your dictionary?", "Yes, I found it under my bed." ]
1,064	10-24	[ "How did your writing go this morning? Is the book coming along alright?", "I'm not sure. I think the rest of it will be difficult to write." ]
1,065	3-147	[ "Have you seen that huge new building going up near the market?", "Yes, I can't figure out what it's supposed to be. Not an apartment building? Not a hotel? Probably a department store." ]
1,071	5-542	[ "I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me.", "Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority." ]
1,072	4-924	[ "Hello?", "Hello. Is that Mr. Jackson?", "Yes, it is.", "Mr. Jackson. I am a reporter from the TV station at school. As far as I know, you are a very successful teacher and quite popular among the students, so I want to ask you some questions.", "OK.", "Do you often give homework to your students after class?", "It depends. Maybe once or twice a week.", "Do you think it is good for your students to do a lot of homework?", "No, I don't think so. Too much homework takes too much of their free time. I seldom give homework to my students on the weekend. They need time to relax and rest, especially on weekends.", "You are a great teacher. By the way, what do you do in your free time?", "I'm a very good football player. My team won first place in our city tournament last year.", "Congratulations! Well, thank you for your help." ]
1,076	4-975	[ "What's that book you're reading at the moment? It seems that you're interested in it.", "Oh, the title of the book is Life on Earth. Um, I got it because of the television program." ]
1,077	4-1111	[ "I'm playing volleyball after school. Do you want to play?", "No, I've got tennis practice today and tomorrow. But maybe this weekend?", "My younger brother has a baseball tournament then...", "OK." ]
1,078	17-21	[ "Does Lisa like her new apartment?", "She says the view of the city from the tenth floor is beautiful, but that she's so afraid of a fire breaking out. She wants to change to another floor." ]
1,079	12-252	[ "I've noticed that you got some letters from Canada. Would you mind saving the stamps for me? My sister collects them.", "Sorry, my classmates already asked for them." ]
1,085	4-855	[ "You know. I called you several times last week, but nobody answered the phone.", "Well, I was in Sydney at that time.", "Did you go there on business?", "No, I visited my aunt and her family." ]
1,086	4-767	[ "Excuse me, could you tell me where the International Post Office is?", "Go straight on; turn right at the first traffic lights. The post office is about fifty meters away.", "I see. And is the No.13 Middle School far away from the post office?", "Not at all. It's about 150 meters. Where do you want to go?", "Oh, I only want to pick up my cousin from school. I am told that the school is next to the post office, and that is why I want to know how to get to the post office first." ]
1,087	7-19	[ "That is a beautiful painting, Jerry! Where did you buy it?", "Actually, I made it. I've been taking art classes for the past year.", "Really? That's amazing! I had no idea you were so talented. This looks like it was painted by a professional." ]
1,091	17-193	[ "Oh! I am glad to see you. How are you going recently? They say you took Introduction to Seience, didn't you?", "I sure did. Why did you ask me about that?", "Well, I'm thinking about taking it next year. I want to know something about it beforehand.", "As far as I'm concerned, I suggest that you not take it.", "Why not? Is the professor awful or is the lecturing boring?", "The professor is nice enough. But the course is nothing but physics and chemistry with lots of equations. You can't just mix the right chemicals and watch what happens. As you go along you have to keep care notes and turn it all into a bunch of numbers and formulas after the experiment is over. It was the worst course I've ever taken.", "What you say is no problem for me. To tell you the truth, [ like formulas and numbers. That's what I'm different from you.", "Is it? Then you'll love it if it is the case. But all that I was interested in was biology and we didn't get to that till the last three weeks of the class. What a year!" ]
1,095	17-278	[ "I've been thinking of changing my job.", "Do you think you'll leave the airline soon? It is really a well-paid job, isn't it?", "Yes, but I'm getting tired of being constantly on the move. I just want to settle down." ]
1,096	13-35	[ "Do you have caps?", "No. We only have hats." ]
1,097	12-579	[ "Would it be convenient to see you today?", "Yes. My office hours are from 10 to 18." ]
1,098	11-52	[ "Will you see a film at People's Cinema on Saturday?", "Yes, I've already got the ticket." ]
1,099	4-1340	[ "Excuse me. Do you have time to help take a picture of us?", "Oh, I'm sorry. I've got to catch a bus.", "That's OK." ]
1,101	5-646	[ "Were you hurt in the accident?", "I was shocked at the time, but wasn't hurt at all. My bike was totally damaged though." ]

1,103	3-249	[ "Excuse me. I'm looking for Park Street.", "Park Street? It isn't far from here. Just keep walking up this street. Turn left at the first corner, go straight ahead and turn left again and in front of you is the Park Street.", "Thank you. I'm looking for a bank.", "There are lots of banks on Park Street. Do you want to change your money?", "Yes. Which bank do you suggest?", "You could try the New City Bank. It's next to the big church.", "And is there a post office near here?", "Yes. See that big new shopping center? There is one on the first floor.", "Oh, thank you very much.", "You are welcome." ]
1,106	4-1151	[ "What are you doing with two computers on your desk? You can't possibly be using both.", "Sure I can. It's something I learned from reading about Bill Gates. I've found that I can increase my productivity like this." ]
1,112	20-117	[ "Have you heard what George has been saying about your work?", "Wow! That's really tough. He just bought it last month, didn't he?" ]
1,113	7-348	[ "Still feeling ill?", "Yes. And that medicine hasn't helped. Not a good start to our vacation, I'm afraid.", "Do you have any idea what caused it?", "Well, I thought it might be last night's dinner.", "But I am fine. Could it be the heat? It's enough to make anyone ill.", "I know. But we've been here a week now. Anyway, I've been careful in the sun and I've been drinking bottled water.", "Then we'd better stay in the hotel today." ]
1,115	4-664	[ "The summer holiday is coming soon. Where are you going for your holiday?", "I'm going to Beijing. How about you?", "I haven't decided yet. But probably I'll find a part-time job to earn some money." ]
1,119	21-85	[ "Have you found the trouble with the car?", "Not yet. The engine works well. I'm checking over the wheels." ]
1,120	5-289	[ "Friday's speaker is supposed to be wonderful. Are you going to attend the seminar on that day?", "Yes. But I haven't been able to get the ticket yet. Since the lecture is open to the public, I imagine that the tickets may have already been sold out." ]
1,121	3-227	[ "You look a bit worried, Susan, what's wrong?", "I just seem to be putting on some weight these days.", "Oh dear! That's quite a problem. Can I offer you some advice?", "Of course, what do you think I should do?", "I suggest you go on a diet or at least stop eating too much of the things your mother prepared for you, and...", "And take exercise, right? A lot of people have told me the same thing, but somehow I just can't get up early in the morning.", "Well. Mother and I will help you. By the way, have you ever thought of arranging your weekend timetable, so you can go to the keep-fit club on the weekend?", "Yes, that sounds a good idea. Thanks a lot." ]
1,124	16-125	[ "This isn't the worst hotel that I've been in.", "It's nothing like what I've imagined." ]
1,125	11-215	[ "The movie was wonderful.", "Do you really think so?" ]
1,126	7-130	[ "I just saw Professor Black. He finished the budget for our concert tour. It's going to cost $1,500 per person.", "Where are we going to get that kind of money?", "It sounds like a lot, but by the time you add up the air fare, meals and hotels, it's pretty reasonable.", "But I doubt we'll all be able to go. Remember there were 32 people in the band last year.", "We can make it. For our last trip, we got some money from some companies.", "Who was in charge of money raising?", "Mary. She took care of it last time." ]
1,128	4-400	[ "Where are you going?", "I'm going to the hospital so see Jane. She broke her leg and hasn't been in school for two days." ]
1,129	11-241	[ "I didn't finish my English homework last week.", "I didn't either. And the English teacher was very angry with me." ]
1,130	14-343	[ "Hello, Nancy. This is Bob. How are you?", "Fine, thank you. A hit too busy though. You know, I'm trying to put everything in order in my new flat.", "Oh, I see. Well, I am wondering if you'd like to go to a concert tomorrow night. I think it will be good. And if I remember correctly, you did say you liked country music.", "Yes. That's fight. It's nice of you to ask, Bob. But I don't think I can. Mother has already asked me to see a friend and then we'll go to the theatre together. In fact she's getting the tickets this evening.", "Oh, well, never mind. What about next weekend? This concert is still on then, I think, if you are free next Saturday.", "Oh, I'd like to very much. But what time exactly?", "It starts at 7:30, I think.", "Oh, good. That'll be fine. The tennis match will be over by 5 o'clock, I'm sure.", "Good, I'll call you again when I get the tickets.", "Sure. Bye." ]
1,132	12-125	[ "What is in this box? It's so heavy.", "Oh, I put some books in it. Let me carry it." ]
1,133	4-741	[ "If I were you, I'd take the bus to work. Driving in that rush hour traffic is terrible.", "But, you know, by the time the bus gets to my stop, there aren't any seats left.", "Oh, I got it." ]
1,134	4-620	[ "Hurry up, Mum. The taxi is waiting outside.", "Just a second, honey. I'll get some food in the kitchen. The meals on the train are terrible." ]
1,135	13-163	[ "Alice, do you know who's going to be in charge of the party, Mary or Jane?", "Neither Mary nor Jane is, the teacher has asked me to be in charge of it." ]
1,136	19-2	[ "Do you enjoy your work? Do you enjoy meeting people?", "Yes. Sometimes. I've got to be honest. Sometimes.", "So, some people you like and some you don't?", "Yeah, it's like a lot of things, meeting the general public. You get good days, and you get bad days. But I do enjoy the job. I like the freedom of the job, being self-employed.", "Do you ever get difficult passengers?", "Yes, sometimes.", "What sort of things do they get up to?", "I would say sometimes a lot of difficult passengers are people who don't go in cabs a lot and they're unfamiliar with procedures, especially if you work nights. People drinking or the extras that would be included on the tariff after a certain time of night.", "You mean they argue with you over money?", "Yes, that can happen. Or the way.., the good thing is, people can argue about the way that you go to a certain route because they always know better. But nine times out of ten the route that they take you is far longer so, you know, they're the eventual losers.", "So if you do have a difficult passenger you want to get rid of what do you do?", "I'd stop the cab and tell them to get out.", "Does that often happen?", "Mmm, it's happened to me three times. And they've got out.

Do you accept that summary of what happened?", "Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault.

It's nice of you to ask, Bob. But I don't think I can. Mother has already asked me to see a friend and then we'll go to the theatre together. In fact she's getting the tickets this evening.", "Oh, well, never mind. What about next weekend? This concert is still on then, I think, if you are free next Saturday.", "Oh, I'd like to very much. But what time exactly?", "It starts at 7:30, I think.", "Oh, good. That'll be fine. The tennis match will be over by 5 o'clock, I'm sure.", "Good, I'll call you again when I get the tickets.", "Sure.

[ "Do you enjoy your work? Do you enjoy meeting people?", "Yes. Sometimes. I've got to be honest. Sometimes.", "So, some people you like and some you don't?", "Yeah, it's like a lot of things, meeting the general public. You get good days, and you get bad days. But I do enjoy the job. I like the freedom of the job, being self-employed.", "Do you ever get difficult passengers?", "Yes, sometimes.", "What sort of things do they get up to?", "I would say sometimes a lot of difficult passengers are people who don't go in cabs a lot and they're unfamiliar with procedures, especially if you work nights. People drinking or the extras that would be included on the tariff after a certain time of night.", "You mean they argue with you over money?", "Yes, that can happen. Or the way.., the good thing is, people can argue about the way that you go to a certain route because they always know better. But nine times out of ten the route that they take you is far longer so, you know, they're the eventual losers.", "So if you do have a difficult passenger you want to get rid of what do you do?", "I'd stop the cab and tell them to get out.", "Does that often happen?", "Mmm, it's happened to me three times. And they've got out. So I, I myself haven't had a lot of problems with difficult people, you know.", "When you pick up tourists as passengers, what kind of places do they like to go to?", "Suppose the most famous landmark is Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, maybe Harrods; but certainly Buckingham Palace." ]

But why don't you take it easy today? Maybe just practice throwing. Don't do any running.", "OK. Do you have any news about Michigan and what we can expect in Saturday's game?", "Yes, I have some films showing Michigan in the last three games. They're in my office. If you want to see them, you can.", "Oh, that would be great. I'd like to see what we are up against.", "Michigan has a strong team. We're in for a tough one. They are one of the top football teams in the counry now since they beat Iowa last weekend. Come to think of it, why don't you go ahead and check out the game films right now? And just rest that knee this afternoon. I want you to be well in three days.", "All right. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon for full practice.", "OK. Here's the key to my office.

Hamburgers are high stress food.", "Well, I guess I need to change my diet." ]

You leave at 8:30.", "And the flight back gets in at 12:30 on the 11th?", "That's right.", "How much does it cost?", "195.", "OK, that's fine.
