Our company really likes the song because it represents our voice.", "What would you like to bring to the audience through your music?", "I'd like to recommend our first song to everyone. The name of the song is Believe. The main idea we want to share is that we want to tell everyone you have to believe in yourself before people can believe in you.

I liked the people I worked with. But the job was poorly paid.", "And how long did you stay there?", "Oh, about a year. I left because I wanted to apply for a position in the Sales Department.

Or shall we go together?", "I think you can go yourself and show your concern to her since she sometimes would take your advice. So it's unnecessary for me to go with you. What's more, I've got some other things to do at the moment." ]

A sofa is 4,000; bookshelves are 2, 500 each; a bed is 1, 200; a dining table and chairs are 6,000 a set.

Uncle seriously ill.", "Oh, I am sorry to hear that.", "But the surprising part about it is that I have no uncle.", "Indeed!", "I could hardly believe my own eyes.

I have asked.", "Why don't you get it from the library?", "Are you joking? I've been trying for months and the book is always out. There are more than 45 students in the course and every single one wants the book.", "Listen, you know my roommate, Henry, don't you? He took the same course last year and I believe he owns the book. I'll ask him if he'll lend it to you.", "Oh, Tom, that would settle everything. That's very kind of you.", "My pleasure." ]

[ "Parcel Express, good morning! How can I help you?", "Good morning. I'm thinking of sending a parcel to New York next week. Can you tell me what the procedure is, please?", "Certainly. When you ring us, we need the following information. The invoice address: that's probably your address, isn't it? And then, the pickup address. That's different. And the contact phone number.", "Just a moment. I'm taking notes. Phone number, right.", "Then we need the full name, address and phone number of the person you are sending the parcel to.", "Ok, anything else?", "Yes, the weight and dimensions of the parcel. That's height, weight and length. And the value of the goods and full description.", "Value, description.", "Yes, but don't seal the parcel. You need to leave it open so that the driver can check the contents when he collects it. After the recent bombing, the airline said that we'd have to check all parcels. They told us we had to do it.", "Fine. Now last question. How long will the parcel take to get to New York?", "One to two working days. There are daily flights at midday. And if we collect the parcel from you at 10:15 then your parcel catches that flight and it will arrive in 24 hours.", "Right. Thank you very much. You've been very helpful.", "Not at all. Goodbye.", "Goodbye." ]
