Can any of our classmates help me in selecting an appropriate project, please?

Would like to share any ideas? neutral Let's get down and discuss.

happiness I admire plum blossoms very much. It seems that only it can blossom in the cold winter. happiness You have a perfect taste! happiness It is the symbol of laughing at hoar frost and fighting with snow. I admire the bravery of plum blossoms. neutral But it used to be ignored by many people. neutral The bright people will remember it forever. neutral

What do you think, Daniel?

Plumes are so beautiful, aren't they? happiness Absolutely right

neutral What is the weather like today? neutral It stops snowing, but there's a bit wind. neutral And the streets are covered with ice.

neutral Classical music is supposed to be good for you brain. Research suggest that it makes your brain more active. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better. surprise Really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress. neutral Yes. That ’ s why I listen to it in the evenings. I usually play it as background music while I ’ m cooking or doing other housework. neutral I ’ Ve got a few classical music CD ’ s. I should follow your lead and increase my brian power. neutral You can find plenty of recording on the internet too. You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them. happiness

Thanks for reminding me, Jim.

Thanks! anger Hey, Susan? Why do put all those ads at th

neutral That's right. You don't drink coffee, do you? neutral No, so it's usually boring to join my friends in the afternoon at a regular coffee shop. neutral What kind of things would you like to see on the menu? neutral Maybe a fruit salad and a few different hot sandwiches at least. neutral That shouldn't be too difficult. Since this is a small neighborhood, maybe they will take this suggestion. neutral

Exactly what I was thinking.

happiness Good idea. And maybe some special milk-shakes with fresh fruits from our local

happiness Actually they ’ re expecting the baby to come on my birthday. surprise Oh, what a coincidence! I bet Bobby must be very happy about it. He likes children and always wants a child of his own. happiness In fact, they ’ re both very excited about the coming baby. Evelyn imagines what their baby would be look like, since one parent is American and the other one is Chinese. neutral Oh, right. Now I know why they would want to see our boy. It ’ s hard to imagine the wonder! Are they expecting a boy or a girl? neutral It ’ s still a mystery. Because Evelyn is only three-month pregnant. But she begins to take her maternity leave now. surprise

What? She isn't working any more!

You mean, all that work during this moment isn't for n nothing?

neutral Hey, she is not worth it. Anyway, there are plenty more fish in the sea. Listen, let's go for a drink in the town. How about that? neutral Ok, then. neutral But you have to promise me that you are not gonna wear that face. neutral What face? neutral The one where you look like your dog just died. You have to get over her and the sooner the better. neutral

It won't be hard, will you?

I am getting, but how do we keep an eye on Jane? neutral Just

happiness Okay then, let ’ s go fast! Whoa! This thing can really accelerate fast. happiness Check out what happens when I put on the brakes suddenly. It can stop quickly. neutral Hey, just watch out for cops or you ’ re gonna end up in the slammer. You know you tend to go fast? neutral Yes, I know it. I went through my last set of tires fast. I even had three flat tires in two weeks. neutral Now watch... some guys probably run a light and hit your car. neutral

They will be fine.

Yeah? They should have waited. surprise Whew! That was close. Some

neutral Then does that mean the other churches are corrupt? neutral That means that they all have parts of the original gospel, but not all. neutral Do you believe that Mormons have all of it? neutral Yes. neutral Why do you really go to church? neutral

I don't actually belong there.

It's fun. But I also like having something different from my weekend job and getting some

neutral There must have been some good news in the newspaper. I can ’ t believe that none of the news stories make you happy or excited. neutral Well, there was one good piece of news. You remember the local girl who was dying of a rare blood disease? neutral Yes. Her parents were raising money to have her treated in the united states. neutral Well, they ’ Ve got the money and she ’ s going tomorrow for treatment. happiness I ’ m so happy for the family! They must be very relieved and excited about that. neutral

That brings us back to our topic, how often do we see something great in any particular newspaper.

That certainly will bring me great delight. 251 What happened? disg

neutral Are there many idioms in English? neutral There are hundreds and hundreds.English is particularly rich in idiomatic expressions. neutral Can you give us an example? neutral I'll look up the rate.To look up doesn't mean to look high into the sky or to look at the roof.It means to search for and find some information. neutral What about the expression goodbye? Is that an idiom? neutral

Not really, although we use a number of natural language sentences every day as partof our lives.

Goodbye isn ’ t exactly an expression, it ’ s a natural-sounds. It happens

neutral Is it full? neutral When I went up there, it wasn't full at all. neutral When was that? neutral Sometime this morning. neutral Would it be full now? neutral

It should still have a little coffee.

Yes, sir. 20 yuan a bag-around twenty dollars in total.

neutral Where are you going? neutral I ’ m going to the hospital. neutral What ’ s the matter? neutral Professor Wang was hurt in a traffic accident. neutral That ’ s too bad. How are things now? neutral

He is out of danger.

He has been discharged. 0 neutral Are all his courses canceled

neutral What are you doing? neutral I always do volunteer work on the first Saturday of every month. neutral What kind of volunteer work? neutral I help out at the children's hospital. I help plan activities. surprise Oh, yeah? happiness

Yes, it really gets me excited!

It gives me great satisfaction. You see, there is a girl here-Honey Gum...

surprise Really? Where does he live now? neutral Colorado. neutral And does Rocky drive a truck, too? neutral Oh, no. Rocky is a pilot. surprise Really? Where does he fly? Does he fly to other countries? neutral

He only takes off in America.

No, just in the United States. happiness It's really interesting! I

anger For God's sake! It's too bloody. How can people be so cruel? neutral Not at all. I think the tattoos are so cool and chic. anger You can't prick the fish to please the sick tastes of some bloody people. neutral Honey, it's not so serious. It's just an animal. anger Just an animal? But it has life too. If you want a tattoo, get one. It's your choice because you want it. But has anyone asked the fish if it wanted one? neutral

There is something wrong with them?

Look, darling! The fish is swimming away by his himself. There isn ’ d '

neutral I saw an interesting program on TV last night. It was about elderly people. neutral And what did the program say? neutral It said that people with a positive attitude 7 tend to live longer and happier. neutral I think that many physicians 8 now agree with that idea. neutral And the TV program also said that physical exercise helps people deal with stress. neutral

Do you believe in such things?

Do you know any other ways of stayining young? happiness You could do relax

neutral What a letdown. I wanted to experience some Mafia culture firsthand. neutral It's worth it just to go and eat what the mafia eat!

Are you satisfied with your date?

Ha, ha... So you are also one of those'white people '? They must make very

Do you plan to make anything else?

How much are you going to take along? surprise! That is so awkwardly

happiness Thank you. happiness Really going to miss you. happiness Me too. I ’ ll write to you once I get settled. But I have so much to do. You might have to wait a while. But I really will write to you. I love to write letters. I think it ’ s more meaning than the emails even than the phone call. happiness Ok. Take care. Have a nice journey. happiness Thank you. happiness

It has been good seeing your face.

Goodbye. 0417, Bai Yi and Steven left each his email

neutral You know, Taylor's been in the hospital for a couple of days. neutral And I'm the one who put him there with my football moves. neutral But you're not to blame for them keeping him there. neutral Yeah, what was all that stuff about running tests about anyway? neutral I'm not sure, but we can find out. I bought some crosswords to keep him busy. neutral

Good idea-what else is going around?

Good. How are his family doing? Do they live nearby? happiness It looks

neutral Did you see May today? neutral Yes, but why does she have such a long face? neutral I don't have the foggiest idea. neutral I thought she'd be happy. neutral Yeah, especially since she got a promotion recently. neutral

But maybe something really happened.

But what if her boyfriend left her or something? surprise You mean that kind

neutral No, you are just on time. We haven ’ t really started yet. happiness Great, here are some flowers for you. I hope you like them. I was not sure if the color will suit your new apartment. happiness Thank you, they ’ re beautiful. You can hang your coat over there. Try this new couch, it is so comfortable. You will love it. Want something to drink, tea, coffee, juice or Cola? neutral Don ’ t bother. I will help myself. neutral Make yourself at home. happiness

That's nice of you, thanks.

This dining table is very useful. If any of my guests arrive late, we have enough ch

neutral Oh, what a pity! sadness I just don ’ t want to play table tennis any more. neutral Is it that bad? It ’ s nothing more than a game. sadness My opponent bowled me with the very first ball. I was wondering if it's appropriate for me to play table tennis. happiness Oh, come on! Failure is the mother of success. Don ’ t lose heart. I'm sure you'll succeed. happiness

You have my best wish.

Thank you, but how could I be able make up such a large amount in short time?

happiness How about tango? happiness Oh, I like it. It's such a beautiful dance, but I can't do it well. What about you? happiness Tango is my favorite. Anything but hip-hop or the foxtrot. ( the music has stopped ) happiness Thank you for the dance. happiness My pleasure. Let's go and have a drink. happiness

Good idea. Where should we start?

OK. But we must keep up with our study tom Morrow, 120 in the

neutral Then my son drove into a tree. neutral I'm sorry to hear that. neutral The dog bit the delivery boy. neutral What a pity! neutral And a storm blew our roof away. neutral

You are not having any Luck.

How annoying! sadness Oh, dear. That ’ s just awful luck

neutral For the most part, yes. Some of the rides are bit too scary for me, though. happiness If you don't think twice about the rides and go on every ride that you can, you'll have a good time. happiness Even the roller coasters that go through tunnels in the dark? happiness Even those. It'll be very romantic, I think. You'll have loads of fun. happiness Thanks for the advice. I'll talk to my fiance about it tonight. happiness

Goodbye, Mary.Hope your day is great!

Oh, he sounds like such as nice guything 35 yuan. That doesn'

neutral when do you plan on studying for those exams? neutral most students just cram the night forehead. neutral do you think that's a good idea? neutral no, I think I should study a little bit at a time, starting a few weeks before the exam. neutral that sounds like a good idea. What are you going to do if you have any questions while you're studying? neutral

check online or call my class mates.

well, firstly I need to check what information is in the class note book so that I don

neutral I promise I will personally guard every single one and they will come back in perfect condition. neutral I'll tell you what. Your class can rent them from me for the night and buy back any damaged ones. neutral That sounds fair. That's still cheaper than paying a band to come play for us. neutral Not as fun though. A live band is way more exciting! neutral Our class doesn't have enough money. We already checked into it. neutral

What about our class, Daniel?

Well, then why don 2's she always buying everyone drink? It costs $

happiness I like the pier too, because it's beautiful at night. neutral Is Malibu beach nice? neutral It's a lot nicer, and I really like it better. happiness So you want to go to Malibu? happiness If that's okay with you. happiness

Sure. We have great fun there, especially in summer. The water has very pleasant smell.

Sure. sadness We can get some drink

neutral We need to solve the problem of air pollution before we destroy the atmosphere. There ’ s lots of clean, modern technology, but companies in developed countries say it ’ s expensive. Developing countries put more emphasis on economic development than on environment protection. neutral Everyone is looking at the issue in the short term, rather than the long term. It ’ s the same with the destruction of the rainforests. Countries and companies just want the wood. They ’ re not thinking about the long-term damage to the forests. We should also remember that the forests are an important natural habitat for thousands of species of animal and plant life. neutral In other parts of the world, especially in Africa, there is a problem with desertification. Climate change and over-farming are causing farmland to turn into desert. In means that people cannot grow enough food. neutral It also means that people sometimes fight over the famp 3land that remains. Damaging the environment actually leads to conflict between people. neutral Have you ever thought about joining an organization committed to protecting the environment? You could get involved with projects to improve the environment. neutral

I think most people have some kind of direct impact - whether they like animals, trees or water.

That sounds interesting! But would they have work? I mean, if companies didn ’ t like doing

happiness Yes, Deborah and I are going to buy a new home in Woodlawn. happiness Congratulations! That ’ s wonderful. I bet both of you are quite happy. neutral Well, we have always dreamed of owning our own home, but real estate 1 in this area is extremely expensive. neutral I understand. That ’ s why Christopher and I want to find a place in a small town, far from the city. neutral That ’ s a good idea if you can find employment nearby. neutral

You might like living outside the suburbs as long, it will give your family something different.

Yeah, that would be ideal. We definitely prefer living outside downtown where it ‘ re nic

neutral What did it say? neutral It says the book is on the shelf, but I didn ’ t find it there. neutral I can always borrow the book from another library. neutral You can do that? neutral I ’ ll make the call and contact you when it gets in. happiness

That's great. Let me know, okay?

Good news! sadness, surprise Wow! That was such a coinc

neutral Which film shall we see? neutral There is nothing good at the moment.Let's do something different.Would you like to go to a concert? happiness Yes, I'd love to.Here is a good one, Mozart and Beethoven.It's on the Festival Hall. happiness Fine! Do you want anything to eat now? neutral No, I'm not hungry. neutral

Well, let's have tea in our room.

Let ’ s have coffee later then, OK? disgust Coffee

neutral Do you eat any special food for the festival? neutral Yes, dumpling is a must.There is also other food.For example, people eat chicken for good luck. neutral That's interesting. I'm told the Chinese firework is very beautiful, isn't it? neutral Yes, it's really wonderful! happiness Oh, great! I hope I can spend this Spring Festival with you here in Beijing. happiness

We will have more fun then, shall we?

You will. And when we meet again next time, maybe you could tell me more about your family

neutral I took the red ones just before lunch and the white ones just after lunch. neutral I think it's time you took another does of each. What would you like to drink with them? neutral just some water, please. Do you have any ointment for my nose? It feels so itchy after blowing my nose so much. neutral sure, I'll just go and get it now. what would you like to eat? Some soup? neutral that sounds good. neutral

how do they taste today, dear?

Here. You are back already! Have your bought a new shirt?

neutral What are you two doing in here? neutral We heard you weren't feeling well, so we came to check on you. neutral I was sitting there giving out nametags and all of a sudden, there she was. neutral Who, Femi? Yeah, Yi-jun saw her inside. neutral All these memories of prom night came back to me. I had to be alone. You remember that night? neutral

Of course. But what were those?

Oh, sure--it wasn'd the most crazy time i have ever encountered.

neutral A good suggestion for you.You need a holiday. neutral It wasn't always like this, you know. neutral What do you mean? neutral Well, I mean.We always do the same thing.There's no variety in our lives. neutral You need a holiday.That's what's the matter. neutral

Doing the job is not enough.

How can we go to Hawaii or Milan if money is such problem. happiness

neutral Well please, why don't you go ahead of me in line? I'm in no hurry. happiness Oh, that's so nice of you! Thank you very much. happiness My pleasure Miss. Actually, could you recommend what to eat here? I've never been here before. neutral Sure. Well, the avocado sandwich is delicious, and it's the healthiest thing on the menu. Personally, I think the beef salad is the tastiest choice. I usually get that. Also, the milkshakes are the best milkshakes in town! happiness Well, thanks for the suggestions. happiness

No problem, ma'am.

It seems there aren't many Chinese Americans living out this way... Do any restaurants specializing

neutral Dad, what's the date? neutral It's December eighteenth. neutral In seven days it will be Christmas Day. neutral Yes, I know that. happiness So, can I buy some new shoes as a Christmas present? happiness

Of course you are my little boy.

Of course, you can! anger? Why didn ’ t my mom tell me this

neutral It will be. And today is, too. I just talked to the airlines... neutral They're going to give us back the seats? neutral No, they're giving us discount tickets on a honeymoon package in... surprise Hawaii? My dream honeymoon destination? neutral You got it! We'll fly there directly from Texas. happiness

That's wonderful! But why?

Oh my good...!

neutral People now like a small family composed of two parents and one child. neutral That is called a nuclear family. neutral I don't like such a family. neutral What kind of family are you like? neutral I like a family composed of many people. It includes grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, and children. neutral

You mean your own children, right?

You have your own idea on the best style for an American family. , anger Yes

neutral Good morning, Loans. neutral Good morning, Mr. Smith. happiness I would like to compliment you on your diligence. happiness Well, thank you, Mr. Smith. But I was just doing my job. happiness Yes. And we're proud of you, Loans. happiness

We are very happy here, too!

Thank you. sadness By the way, what are these documents?

neutral I thought you had been to Australia too. neutral No, but I ’ m planning on visiting Australia and new Zealand soon. I ’ Ve heard that they are beautiful countries. Which is the most beautiful country you ’ Ve been to? neutral I think I ‘ d say norway. It has many picturesque fjords, waterfalls, and mountains. neutral Isn ’ t it really cold there? neutral Well, the north of Norway is almost always cold, but further south it can be fairly warm in summer. It ’ s a wet country, so there ’ s snow almost everywhere in winter. neutral

How long did this holiday last?

Do you know how old those mountain fjands are? 0. My uncle told me once

neutral Alison, would you like to have some more? neutral No thanks. I have had enough. neutral Actually you haven't have much. neutral To tell you the truth, I am on the diet. neutral That sounds ridiculous. Why? neutral

Because if my weight goes up any further, it will cause a serious harm to myself.

You are getting fat, aren ’ t you? disgust Absolutely

happiness Welcome to my birthday party, I am so happy you can come. happiness Thanks for inviting me. Here is the gift for you. Happy birthday, Francis! Many more happy and healthy years for you! neutral Thank you, shall I open it now? neutral Yes, please do. happiness Wow, a remote car model and my favorite brand. I really like it. That is so nice of you. happiness

It's an pleasure.

This time i don't have any idea, just go ahead!

neutral I bet they love it really. Sure, they complain about it, but that just gets them more publicity, doesn ’ t it? neutral I think that few of the show biz stars want any publicity for themselves. They only want it for their films. neutral No way! They want publicity for themselves, so that they get invited to make more films, go to lots of cocktail parties, and even make albums! They have such an easy life. They don ’ t even pay for drinks when they go to a cocktail party. neutral Show biz stars have plenty of expenses. That ’ s why they need so much money. They need million of dollars to buy big, seclude houses and wonderful dresses. I bet most show biz stars would prefer to wear jeans and a t-shirt, but they can ’ t because their managers force them to wear clothes they don ’ t like. neutral I don ’ t understand how you can have any sympathy for show biz stars. They ’ re overpaid, over-ambitious, and over-adored. neutral

What did she say? Didn't hear that.

Me neither! There are some great show biz star out there. Someone like Conrad Vein

neutral Oh yes! Sometimes it rains very heavily.How about here in Beijing? neutral There's a lot of rain in summer, but it seldom rains in autumn. neutral I feel it's rather dry here. neutral That's true.

No, my wife is from Tianjin.

My father is. surprise Really! Then, maybe that has passed into me

happiness Cool! What kind of Chinese painting do you prefer, free sketch or claborate-style painting? neutral I prefer free sketch, especially the landscape paintings. I can always feel peace and harmony from those landscape paintings. neutral That's true. Chinese art stresses the harmony between man and nature, which is an important part of China's traditional culture. happiness I love this art exhibition! happiness So do I. Let ’ s go to other areas to see what they have got, shall we? happiness

Yes, let ’ s take a closer look!

Yes. neutral We still haven't been into the museum, let's

neutral Look at the ice there hanging from the eaves. neutral And the streets are covered with snow. neutral Do you know what the temperature is today? neutral I missed today's weather forecast over the TV. disgust It feels like ten degrees below zero at least. I don't mind the cold weather but I do hate it when it gets slippery. happiness

Let's go out in our car!

Let's go and get a walk. sadness'My shoes are so

happiness Very well. If I leave I'll miss you. happiness Me too. Please write to me as soon as you get Boston. happiness I'm sure and I remembered your phone number. I'll call you. happiness OK, they begin to register. happiness It's time I left. happiness

we can take photos later.

good idea. sadness we were trying for over an hour, I think that

neutral What a pity. It was quite exciting. Both teams played very well. neutral How did it finish? neutral It finished in a draw. What was the film like? neutral It was quite good. But. I missed the beginning of it because I had to eat first. neutral Did your wife enjoy it? neutral

She said she liked some parts, but didn ’ t understand others. Are you busy on Friday?

happiness She liked it. You should have come and enjoyed yourself too!

neutral You shall just take it in surprise. neutral I've tried, but she keeps pushing my buttons. neutral Try to pull it together, Vernassa. I am sure things will turn note, ok? neutral I am not. she is no picnic. neutral Well. if you think I can help, let me know. neutral

Yes, yes. Please do tell us what happened... and how did the matter finally solve?

Thanks! It would be good. neutral 0157

neutral Uh... Yeah! I ’ Ve told you a thousand times that I ’ m learning to play the drums. Now that I know how to play well, I would like to form a rock band. neutral Aside from yourself, who are the other members of the band? neutral We have a guy who plays guitar, and another who plays bass.Although we still haven ’ t found anyone to be our singer.

That will have to take care for later. surprise You don't understand!

happiness Here is a good place. Let's get out. happiness Wow. We don't get to see this in the city! happiness Mother Nature is quite an artist. happiness Look behind us at the mountains! They're reflecting pink! happiness Amazing. The sun is almost gone and yet there is still color everywhere! happiness

This will make for great photos.

What can we do next? Do you know any scenic places nearby where we could stop, or

neutral You know you didn't. neutral Well, I'm telling you now. neutral Yes, but you might have told me before. neutral I didn't think you'd be interested. anger You can't be serious. How dare you not tell me you were going to marry her? neutral

But it is true.

Sorry! But it wasn't the thing, you see. happiness Wow

neutral Hi, Bill. neutral Hi, Jim. neutral Where is that cool guy, Dick? I haven ’ t seen him for two weeks. neutral He ’ s been sick since he came back from Italy. neutral Bummer, I ’ m sorry to hear that, is he better now? neutral

Stand right there. It's a good shot. The background is very pretty. neutral hold it a second. I want to fix my hairpin. neutral it doesn't matter. Say'cheese '. neutral

OK. How do you think about yourself?

OK! surprise! Oh, dear. My hair has done up again. What

neutral What do you do in order to improve your English? neutral I go to movies ; I go to lectures ; I listen to the radio ; I do lots of things. Most importantly, I practice every chance I get. neutral It ’ s a good idea to have a radio, isn ’ t it? neutral Sure. It ’ s like understanding on the telephone — — you can ’ t see the speaker! It ’ s great for improving listening comprehension. neutral It takes a long time to learn a language, doesn ’ t it? neutral

A new way, and short learning.

You bet! But if we keep at it, even people who are very slow and stupid at learning

neutral I'm fine, thanks, how about yourself? neutral Things couldn't be better.Where are you going now? neutral I am heading for the library.

neutral What methods do you use to conserve water? neutral Water is rationed. We can only use a certain amount each month. It means that we cannot use some modern household items, like washing machines. They use too much water. neutral I see. I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution. neutral Yes, I agree. The air here is much more polluted than in my country. Of course, my country is more agricultural and has much less industry. neutral We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years, but cars are still a major source of them. Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introduced. neutral

Is recycling very expensive?

Which kinds for cars cause the most pollution- gasoline, oil or Fuel? Do they

neutral It might work. I ’ ll have to hear it.Show me what you ’ Ve done. neutral It was horrible! I played play it much better at home! neutral It ’ s just nerves. Just play the right hand for now.

You are really an all-you - need guy!

Thank you. But what if we start dating?

neutral so where did you land? neutral we landed in Southampton and waited an hour for the storms to pass and then took off again. neutral that sounds like a nightmare! neutral it wasn't too bad. At lease I'm alive. neutral have you had anything to eat? neutral

yes, my friend bought me some pizza.

yes, they give us sandwiches before takes-of.

happiness No, thank you. neutral That's the most important thing. neutral It's kind of you to say. I feel a little stupid. neutral Forget about it. neutral When you lent me the bike, it looked brand new, almost anyway. neutral

But now that all my friends know,...

You helped me out when there wasn't anyone else around, and that takes some doing

happiness Yes. Would you like to come here later to have a coffee? Bring all your family. happiness We'd like to. Can you tell me when we go? happiness About 4. happiness OK. Do you want us to bring something? happiness No, just come here. happiness

It will be great. See you then!

All right. Bye! You know, I am going on holiday in four weeks. What

happiness I do feel like a trip to Florida on such a gloomy day in New York, to enjoy the sunshine while lying on the beaches of Florida. happiness That's a great idea. It's the best season for tourists in Florida. You can also get a good sun-tan there. neutral But if the sunshine is too strong, it might damage the eyes and the skin. neutral You can put on your shades. And remember don't make your skin look like a tomato. Or else after that your skin will begin to flake off. You may even wind up with skin cancer. neutral I see. Overdoing it will do more harm than good. neutral

So what you are trying to tell me?

Exactly. What we should try our hand on, besides tending the beach all day long by

happiness I just finished reading this article'Getting Old Gracefully '. It's a very good article. neutral What does it say? happiness A lot of things.

What this article says makes good sense to me. If you read it, I'm sure you'll agree with me. neutral

OK, let me have the article.

Well, all right then. Have you got the time?

happiness I've never given a speech in front of a thousand people before. happiness You're going to do great. And you're going to look great. happiness Thanks. Now let's decide which one of these suits looks best for this occasion. happiness I still like the olive one best. There's a tailor here who can take up the sleeves for you. neutral The question is, can he have it done before Friday? neutral

Let's ask him.

Let me ask him. Oh, no problem at all. He promised we'd get there on

neutral And I like a girl with good skin, do you? neutral I can ’ t say I do. What I like a girl with good manners. neutral Well, yes. But surely you like a girl with a nice figure. neutral Yes. But I like a girl with a nice personality. neutral But you like a girl to be rich, surely? neutral

It does make things easier.

You know that is important too. sadness Oh, how annoying it has

neutral I suppose you like cinematography and costumes and that sort of stuff? neutral Yes, I do. The look of a picture is very important. neutral I think sound is even more important! Guns, bombs, sirens--that's what makes a movie exciting! neutral You wouldn't know a good movie even if it bit you on the nose. neutral In my book, all a good movie needs is a chase scene and lots of things that blow up. neutral

So, how would you make a movie then?

Exactly! And girls who wear bikinis. It doesn't take much to make

neutral Why did you transfer? neutral I was going to go here first, but my grades weren ’ t good enough. neutral Did you like it at PCC? neutral PCC is an incredible school. happiness Well, I wish you luck here. happiness

I see. But what can we do to help them understand each other, and make a match?

You must be disappointing. surprise Oh, no! That was a joking

neutral There ’ s problem with my bank statement. There ’ s a mistake on it. I also need to withdraw some money some the ATM. neutral I have to exchange some money. neutral that ’ s right. You ’ re going away next week. neutral I also want to see if my salary has been paid into my bank account. There was a problem last week. neutral I have to pay my credit bill too. If I don ’ t pay it soon, the credit card company will charge me interest. neutral

Do you really need this much? Maybe we should just check everything off line before coming here.

What else do you expect? Please take a few minutes. happiness Thanks! Now,

neutral That sucks. He must feel depressed. neutral Yeah. He's been sitting in his room everyday for the last 4 days. neutral Why don't we take him out? We can try to take his mind off of it. In the least show him that we're there for him. happiness That's a great idea. Why don't you call him. I already talked to him a couple of times and it might be good for him to hear from somebody else. happiness Ok. I'll call you back after I'm done. happiness

Thanks, Steven. You are my hero. Bye!

Ex cellerating! It would do all us harm. Let me know if anything comes up,

neutral Well, I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work... neutral No, not exactly, I'm working for minimum wage.And they don't give extra pay for overtime. Overtime is our own time. surprise What?! Isn't there a law against that, I think there is some legislation that requires employers to give their employees a fair rate of wages. You should know your rights! If you are putting in so many hours, they should give you some kind of compensation. neutral They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers, but frankly, it's not much of an incentive. They give us a bonus of ten dollars. anger That's just wrong! why don't you just quit? neutral

Oh, yeah. But then what would I do?

neutral OK. Come back into the classroom, class. neutral Does the class start again, Mam? neutral Yes, but to the health, this break has long enough. neutral Oh, breaktime flies. neutral come on, baby. It ’ s time now. neutral

What are you going? I don't wanna go!

I wish my mum hadn ‘ t sent me here. disgust Maybe she

neutral I agree with you but I think you really need to talk to your mother and tell her what's on your mind. neutral I ’ ll try, but what if she insists? neutral just let her know that the experience will be both amazing and rewarding. And more importantly, you can manage both your study and the job. neutral do you think it will work? neutral sure. Every cloud has its silver lining. Just try. happiness

Ok, thank for sharing my opinion.
