neutral Why? What's stressing you out? fear School. Since I was working part time, I had a difficult time keeping up with class. Now that we have exams coming up, I'm totally freaking out. neutral The best thing to do is study as much as you can. I'm sure you'll do alright. neutral I hope so. I guess I won't be sleeping for the next 3 days. That's what it'll take. happiness I have to study for an exam too. Why don't we study together. We can encourage each other. happiness

Good idea! Let's get started.

Yeah why not. It will make things more relaxed if someone isn-t just studying in front

neutral The new webpage design is much more effective than before. I feel confident it will rope in a lot more business because of its user-friendly format. neutral Why do you think the new page is so much better than the old page? I thought the old page wasn't half bad... neutral The old page was okay, alright, but there wasn't a big influence in our sales volume, because the site wasn't developed with an eye towards the marketing aspect. Now it's different. We got our marketing department team in on the action, and the results are smashing... neutral What changes were made from the old page to the new page? neutral First, the visitors to the site are encouraged to give their contact information. They can sign up for a free monthly drawing. Once we've got their info, it goes into a database for future marketing mailers and advertising targeting. Also, there are clear links to descriptions of our products and services, so as to give confidence to new customers. We also added a specific area for on-line customer service... So far we've gotten a ton of positive feedback... happiness

This is really cool. It has been great seeing everything come together, working smoothly like this!

Exactly, that would explain my increase visitation time. Good work!

neutral Well, not every Chinese can handle spicy food in the way people from Sichuan and Guizhou provinces can. Back where I come from, people don't eat a lot of papers and chilies. neutral Oh, I see how this food can be really hard for you. I can sympathize with that. I stayed in Sichuan for a year. The food was difficult at the beginning. Every dish was so spicy. After a while though, I got used to the taste, and now I won't consider anything a real dish if it isn't spicy. neutral Yeah, you can increase you tolerance for spicy food, but so far, I haven't had the need or the opportunity. Every time I try spicy food, it is a total disaster for my nose and eyes. neutral I completely understand. I didn't intend on liking spicy food at first either, but when you have no other choices, you've got to adapt. happiness Yeah, I guess that's a typical example of'when in Rome, do as the Romans do.' neutral

It might take another 12 years before your palate gets adjusted, like mine does.

You seem quite allured by your local specialities. neutral Ha! It wasn

neutral Don't you feel a little strange taking the place of your old boss after he was demoted? neutral Yes, at first I felt very awkward. After Bill was demoted and then resigned, it was kind of like somebody died! I mean the atmosphere in the office was like a funeral parlor or something. And then I was afraid people would look at me as a traitor for filling in his spot when the management asked me to... neutral Did they mutiny? neutral Thankful, no. I guess everyone understands the opportunity I had to step into a leadership role is so great for my career. I'm really moving up the ladder now that I'm considered a supervisor. After a couple weeks, it was like nothing happened. neutral It is a really good chance for you to get more exposure at work. supervisors get to take the credit for all the hard work of the people under them. neutral

That might be true--the real question will probably be, can I maintain this high level promotion?

That ’ s right... Exactly why I wanted this promotion!

neutral You'd better give up smoking. It's bad for your health. neutral You're right, but you know, it's hard to give up an old habit. neutral But you should make up your mind first. neutral You know, I often have to work till late at night. I need something to keep me awake. neutral Why don't you go to bed and get up early? You'll have the same time for work. happiness

Good idea.Let's try that tonight.

Thank good. Now I think that if i try my best maybe, one day i can quit this

neutral Wow! Isn ’ t that dangerous? neutral A little, but the rush was worth it. neutral Tell me about it. neutral We jumped off a bridge and fell 500 feet before the bungee cord caught us. surprise 500 feet! I would never be able to do that. happiness

It is so fun after all!

That wasn't all fun though-The rush, you know. It really gave my life

neutral What's the temperature? neutral It's 20 degrees below zero now. It was even colder this morning. neutral Have you heard what the weather is going to be like tomorrow? neutral I was watching the news a little earlier. They said it's probably going to snow tomorrow. neutral I really don't like the winter. I wish it were summer. neutral

How are your parents doing with all of these cold and miserable days we have been having recently?

Me too! We could take our vacation then and go to the beach. Do you want me

happiness Mom, I just finished my paper. Can you proofread it before I hand it in? happiness Sure, let ’ s take a look. Sweetie, this is terrific. Your ideas are so original. happiness Thanks. happiness I can tell you worked hard on it. happiness I really did! I started thinking about what I wanted to say three weeks ago. happiness

You had good idea.

That brings up the idea for your new essay, don't

neutral Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. neutral It's all right. There are so many Christians in America that everybody takes it for granted that I'm Christian. neutral I guess so. So what do you do around this time of year? neutral Well, I'll celebrate Hanukah soon, but that's not as important to us as Christmas is to you. Mainly I'll just enjoy the holiday break. neutral Well, would you be horribly offended if I invited you to a Christmas party at my house? happiness

Not at all. That sounds great-a wonderful way to share your American tradition with me!

Not really. But maybe some other things will get lost along th... OK, then! You

neutral I will dress up as a vampire with big fangs. neutral May I have a look at your costume? neutral Sure. Wait a moment. ( Several minutes later ) Here you are. happiness I like your black clothes and your fangs are cool. happiness I will bite many beautiful girls on the neck tonight. Maybe I will suck their blood. happiness

It's really charming, Steven.

That's terrifying. But also exciting! surprise Oh, my

happiness So, what did you do out there? I mean besides bask in the sun, obviously. happiness I jogged up and down the beach and played volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn ’ t get through a whole game before I had to sit down. happiness Not to mention cooler. Did you go swimming? happiness I wanted to, but the water is too cold, and I just wetted in up to my knees. happiness It all sounds so relaxing. I wish I could get away to the beach like that. happiness

Me too, if only for one day!

Well, if we don ’ d put things off for another year. surprise! Are

neutral Very good! It pumps blood throughout the body, using the circulatory system such as blood vessels and veins. Now let's not forget that our lungs provide oxygen to our heart and body to keep us alive! Now what about the organs that help us digest food? neutral The stomach and intestines! neutral Very good! Let's not forget that the stomach is the one that breaks down our food and our intestines process that food and then expel the waste. Are we forgetting anything? neutral Yeah! Our kidneys, liver and bladder! neutral Oh yes, you are right. Very important organs indeed. neutral

What do these two orgams do?

OK. So, in total there must be over 100 different organds inside your very

neutral What have you been up to? neutral I just opened up my own business not long ago. neutral Good for you! What are you doing? neutral I'm a professional party planner here in the city. I do catering and all that. happiness I knew some day I would be able to profit from your love of fun! happiness

You always make me chuckle.

Ha... Thanks. So how has it gone, so far? surprise Woo

neutral I see that you have bought several new pots and pans and utensils. neutral Yes, I have. I need them to help me with these new dished I ’ m trying to make. I need a little more practice before I invite guests over. neutral Looking at the spice rack, I ’ d say you ’ Ve been learning how to make asian food. neutral Yes. I ’ Ve always likes Indian and thai food, so I ’ Ve been trying to make dishes from those countries. I ’ m pretty good at making curries now, but I still need practice at making thai food. neutral Both kinds of food are becoming popular.Nowadays, it ’ s very easy to pick up the ingredients at the supermarket. neutral

What did your family cook, John?

So, what do you like best about Chinese or Thay cuisining? happiness

neutral I see. Do you ski often? happiness Every chance I get. On weekends I ski all day long. Sometimes I even ski at night. happiness That sounds great. happiness Oh, yes. The ski slopes are well lit. It's really nice to ski at night. Why don't you learn to ski? fear Not on your life! I know I'd break my leg happiness

You have a good sense of humor.

Don' t be too nervous--You could use the same kind of skis and bo

neutral Hi, Dave. This is Zina. neutral Zina? Zina the Snake? neutral I got your e-mail a couple of months back. neutral Yeah? Which one was that? neutral The one that said, You're a creep. From me you won't hear another peep. I hope you wreck your jeep. neutral

Oh, yeah. What do you want?

Ha ha. disgust Maybe it does look rather bright today. What are we

neutral I need to cancel that. We have had a last minute change of plans. neutral I see. Would you like me to reschedule you for another night? neutral OK, we will let you know as early as possible. By the way, will we be able to get a refund on this cancellation? happiness Certainly. happiness Thank you very much. happiness

Keep in contact, sir! See you soon.

My pleasure. happiness Please call our reserver service department and make all the

neutral No, I'm not feeling myself. I just want to check my emails, visit my favorite websites and chat with my friends. neutral Now I see, you must be suffering from discomgoogolation. neutral What does that mean? there's nothing wrong with me. neutral Well, the term'discomgoogolation'comes from'discombobulate'and'google '. Because floods of information are just a mouse click away, net users are very likely to become addicted to the web. neutral That's alright. I just can't bear losing track of all the latest information. It almost drives me crazy. neutral

You should get yourself some kind of online filing system so your information doesn ’ t get lost.

So, what do we call people'like yourself? sadness Oh! My

happiness Yeah. I've seen pictures of the crowds! neutral And the restaurant are excellent... but they're kind of expensive. neutral And how about Kyoto? neutral Kyoto is lovely. It's full of beautiful old temples and gardens.It's a very historic city. neutral How was the weather? neutral

Oh, it was really warm.

Not good, especially for those doing all that sightseeing! disgust For

neutral Just a second. I'll see if I can find them for you. neutral Thanks. neutral Here you are. You must return them within a month. neutral What happens if I'm not finished with them in a month? neutral You can come in and renew them unless someone else has reserved them. happiness

Thank you, Miss Green.

That sounds simple! Do I need to fill out anything before checking these booksout? the cl

neutral Yeah, I worked about twenty hours a week in a pizza restaurant. neutral What was that like? neutral It was always very busy there. neutral What did you do? neutral I stood behind the register and took pizza orders. neutral

You know, it is really difficult. How many hours would your company want?

And then, what? anger Oh... yeah. They've never told my super

neutral That sucks. neutral I'm just pissed that management can't see behind his smooth talking lies. neutral Look on the bright side. At least you have a job. happiness Yeah. I shouldn't stress about this anymore. It's not like I can do anything about it. happiness Exactly. Instead, we should have some drinks tonight. happiness

Sounds pretty good to me. Let's go!

You got that right. Tonight, my new boss is buying...

neutral You're so witty... neutral So why is the face tilted to the right? neutral This watch is supposed to be worn on your left hand. neutral So it's not as convenient for left-handed people? neutral It's better for right-handed people like me. See, I don't even have to move my arm to see the time. neutral

What about when someone else wants to tell the same joke, or you want a different opinion?

Yeah. What a coincidence that you bought this at an outlet!

neutral How much does it cost? neutral It costs 125 dollars a month. neutral Yes, that's all right. I want to enroll in the course. neutral Thank you, please fill out this form for us. neutral Do you want me to fill it out now? neutral

Please, do not forget your birth day.

You may write down here if your schedule is full or not. And make sure you give two working

neutral What ’ s your major? neutral I ’ m majoring in French literature. neutral Oh, don ’ t you have to take that class on 18th century poetry? It ’ s really difficult. I hear the students in that class have to write a paper 100 pages long. neutral That ’ s right. We got the assignment last week. neutral When is it due? neutral

Friday afternoon. And Professor Clark says he will accept one oral presentation rather than writing an paper.

Next Wednesday at noon sharp! And, my advisor said she would consider me applying

neutral Okay, next question. If Eric asked you out on a date, what would you say? neutral Duh! I would say yes! Eric is the most popular kid in school! Okay, my turn. What would you do if you won the lottery? neutral Let ’ s see... If I won the lottery, I would buy two tickets for a trip around the world. neutral If you buy me a ticket I will go with you for sure! neutral My dad will freak out if I even mention a trip like that! neutral

Yeah, well then how about your mom?

That sounds so fun! Now let ’ get crazy-What's your favorite comedy?

neutral No problem. neutral I might need some tools though. Do you know where I can get some? neutral Sure. I have all kinds of tools. Just ask. I ’ ll be happy to get them for you. happiness Thanks. That would be very helpful. neutral Anything for you. Seriously, I don ’ t mind helping. neutral

Here is the shop.

Here is a list with the names and sizes. happiness Wow! These are

neutral Is it due to old age or is he sick. neutral Maybe a little of both. The doctor's can't point out anything specifically. I think it is because he didn't take care of himself during his youth. neutral That makes sense. It's important to take care of your health early in life. neutral That's what my father tells me almost everyday. neutral Well, I hope he starts feeling better. Say hi to him for me. neutral

OK. He said you seemed very busy these days, are things still going all right with work?

Thank you very much. sadness He doesn't have long either, from

happiness Wedding rings! neutral Oh, no... happiness Aren't they cool? I like the settings. neutral Jen, is there someone you're not telling me about? neutral No. I just like looking at wedding rings, OK? neutral

Well, if it makes your heart glad!

Women love jade and conch-shaped things, especially when in set with a pear

neutral Whatever. Just turn right here.... The freeway will be packed at this hour.... let ’ s take a side street.Go on! Get out of our way! Move, move! neutral What ’ s your problem! Geez. Having a fit is not going to help! neutral Here, I know a short cut... just go down here, and we ’ ll cut though Ashburn Heights. Let ’ s go, let ’ s go! Watch out for that lady! neutral I ’ m going as fast as I can! neutral Yes! We made it. 5:58, just before the library closes. neutral

So, what did you need from me? There isn't enough information there about my account.

Excited, are you? You really wanna keep me in line... uh! Are

neutral No, France isn't very mountainous. But it does contain the Pyrenees, a large mountain range with high peaks and deep canyons. What kind of Climate does Japan have? neutral The Japanese climate is warm and moist in the south, mild in the central part and cold in the north. Except for Hokkaido, we don't get much snowfall at all. France has a mild climate, doesn't it? neutral Yes, the climate of France rarely has severe winters. In southern France, one can live in comfort the whole year. Is Japan good for farming? neutral Yes, Japan is good for farming. Rice is the main crop, but Japan is also an industrial center. Fishing is very important, too. Rice isn't grown in France, is it? neutral No, rice isn't grown in France. But farming, fishing and industry are also very important in France. I'd like to go to Japan some day. Would you like to visit France? neutral

Maybe, if your vacations aren't full.

Yeah! Which city do people usually want to go see when travelling through France?

neutral Hi, why do you look so depressed today, Mike? sadness I had a terrible quarrel with my neighbor yesterday. neutral How come? sadness It is a long story. Basically, she thought I had laughed at her while I didn't. happiness I know everyone suffers when he is misunderstood. But why not take it easy? happiness

Yeah, thanks for your understanding.

You got the point! 0 anger, and now we haven ’ t discussed for almost

neutral That's true, but what if one comes across some difficulties. He must rely on his EQ to deal with them. neutral Yes, Jerry, can you share your understanding of EQ? neutral I think it is independent of IQ and plays a prominent role in deciding the way we live our lives. neutral Quite right. Have you noticed that a high IQ is not a must for one's success? neutral Just as Forrest? neutral

And he has had great success, indeed.

And also, there are many successful men. happiness Let ’ s say more!

neutral Well, I've got to stop and get gas in the car, first. neutral That won't take long. neutral Well, it won't if there no line at the pump. neutral Well, I'm not quite ready. neutral I'll give you five more minutes, then I'm going on without you! neutral

What are these crazy guys saying?

surprise You are kidding! What about our wedding? Are you turning back into your

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

Look, she isn ’ t my sister-in-law.

There wasn't anything to tell. disgust Maybe she will make a very

neutral Did you like it? neutral Richard did, but I didn't. Of course, I told him I liked it. neutral Yeah. So did you do anything else? neutral Well, we went to a dance club. happiness Did you have fun there? happiness

Surely, yes! It was really exciting.

Yeah, and so did the people around me. surprise You were in

neutral Would you like to go to work or continue your studies after graduation? neutral I think I will continue my studies. Now it's not easy for a graduate with bachelor's degree to get a job since there are so many graduates with master's or doctor's degree. We are likely to lose in competing with them in the job market. neutral So you will continue to study for a master's degree? neutral Well, I think so. But I am thinking of going aboard to get a master's and doctor's degree. If can get a Ph. D. abroad, it will be much easy for me to get a job at home. neutral How can you finance your education abroad? It is very expensive to study abroad. neutral

My father has already agreed.

You know, nowadays we have lot more choices as far as funded education overseas

happiness What a great weekend that was! happiness My feeling's exactly. happiness I really enjoy the beach in the summer. happiness I couldn't agree with you more. happiness We should come here more often. happiness

You are so smart to say this.

Exactly, it has been far to long since we last went to there

neutral I think Andy's party will be fun. neutral Yeah, I think so. Oh, by the way, I need to ask you something. neutral What's that? neutral Could I get back the sweater you borrowed? neutral Sure. Oh, that reminds me. Could I borrow your black leather boots? neutral

No. You don't like those, do you?

No. That would never fit my long legs. surprise! You are kidd

happiness Yes, their new album just came out last week. It is number one on the billboard. happiness I really love their dancing. They are all excellent dancers. happiness The lyrics of the new song are beautiful, too. Can you sing? happiness Sure. I think you can hear the song everywhere you go now. happiness Let's go buy their new album. Want to come with me? happiness

Yeah, it sounds good.

No, thank your. 1 have a little girl at home and it costs more then enough money

neutral Is there a good time for you to help me? neutral If we work on this tomorrow night, you could easily be ready by Friday. neutral How about meeting in my office? neutral That would work out well. Bring any concerns that you might have. happiness Sounds like you'll be able to help me a lot. happiness

We will. Let us take care of it!

Yes. surprise I don't know if the project will take much more than

neutral Like what? neutral He hoped to live in the Korean way and asked me to give up working and stay at home to take care of the family. neutral Oh, I see. In their culture women should put family first. neutral Yes, he said it would be better for me and for the whole family. But I simply can not quit working. neutral So that's why it ’ s hard to have a happy marriage with a foreigner. neutral

It is very important.

Exactly. 5 anger You really got it! That is something we Chinese

neutral I heard that the winner gets a Panda Radio. neutral Do you think you have a chance? happiness A chance? Not just a chance, I'm a hundred percent certain.Everyone says my voice is beautiful. neutral But you haven't practised all that much. neutral I still have 5 days to practise. It's in the bag! neutral

How do your friends feel about it? Are any of them going on with their lives as usual?

Are you sure? How can you say it ’ s in...

neutral What day is today? neutral Today is Thursday. neutral What's the date today? neutral Today is May first, 2003. neutral Oh, today's International Labour Day. Is it our working day? neutral

Well, you know I need your help in doing my paperwork. Why don worry about this?

It seems so. Let's have a look at my calendar... oh, we will hold an

happiness Can you take part in our picnic this Saturday? happiness That would be fine. Where are you going? happiness We plan to go to a forest in the suburb. There is a beautiful river there. We can do some fishing. happiness Great. happiness And don't forget your fishing tackle. happiness

Yes, yes. I am all set up with them!

I won't miss it. neutral Excuse me? Do we have

neutral Hey, young man! I'm your sis. Don't talk to me like that. happiness Oh, man, look at her, go! She is amazing! She should be my sis. neutral Boy, you've got such a crush on her, haven't you? happiness Yes, I want to be her boyfriend. Just like in the movie. neutral Are you out of your mind? happiness

It would make an excellent story.

Exactly! disgust Uh, G. Y... What are we

neutral Yes. I ’ Ve read news about him in today ’ s paper. neutral And he ’ s bright and intelligent. I ’ m sure he can pass the university entrance exam. neutral I wish he could too. neutral How ’ s your boy, Jack? neutral He ’ s a bit tired, you know. It often takes him a couple of hours to brush up. neutral

Doesn't it, dear?

Poor Ben. You say he always goes late through his courses! anger Yeah

neutral Good morning. I want to apply for a library card. neutral Give me 10 yuan, your ID card and a photo of you please. neutral But I hear that the card is free. neutral Yes, it is. But you must pay a deposit for the card. neutral There will be a refund when I return the card, right? neutral

You can get back all but $ 5.

You have no choice, so keep your record. happiness OK... Here's

happiness According to the story, it's some sort of modern dance style. happiness Like disco? happiness Well, breakdancing is more a physical exercise than a dance. happiness And disco a kind of nightclub. happiness Right, a disco is a place where people dance according to nonstop recorded music... happiness

Yes, that sounds about right.

... and this one has live bands playing, right? neutral Yes. It happens every

neutral We will need it for both days. neutral We will need to know who will be driving the van. neutral The van will be driven by Mary and me. neutral It needs to be back on Sunday night. Can you arrange for that? neutral Oh yeah, no problem. Would you mind if we borrowed a few of the chairs from the lunchroom. neutral

I'll tell Bob.

That's fine. You guys are always thinking ahead! neutral Thanks, but

neutral yes, though I don't think her acting skills are that great. neutral what was your impression of her when you saw her in person? neutral she looked sweeter than her pictures. neutral did you take a photo with her? neutral no, there were too many people. When she got out of the car, her fans were all screaming, trying to give her flowers and ger her autographs. neutral

how long is it since you came?

so, do you like Julia Roberts? neutral yeah. She looks nice, doesn

neutral That's my business, not yours. neutral True enough, until the time comes that you need to take my money. I don't know where you're wasting your money but I think you need to take a look at what's really important. neutral So how do you survive from pay day to pay day? neutral I don't just survive. I put money away as well. I know when I get paid where most of the cash will go, and I stick to my plan. If I follow a budget I don't have any nasty surprises. neutral I'm not disciplined enough I guess. neutral

Well, there is nothing wrong with having high ambition, so long as it keeps us honest.

You see? There is no'maybe.' It has been decided, all it requires on

neutral How would you do that? neutral I think we should do a few things at once. Improving public transport would encourage people to use that. If we also charge people to use their cars in the city centre, they won ’ t use their cars as much. neutral I don ’ t know. I think it ’ s unfair to make drivers pay more money. They already pay a lot of tax-petrol tax, for example. neutral I think that they should pay more tax. Look at the damage they cause to the environment and people ’ s health by discharging all those exhaust fumes. neutral The air would certainly be cleaner if there were fewer cars being used in the city. The problem is that people will see it as reducing their freedom. It well be unpopular. happiness

You have some really good ideas.

You may be right but something has go wrong with our current policy, doesn ’ mention 10

neutral Why ’ d you transfer here? neutral I wanted to attend this school originally, but my grades out of high school weren ’ t good enough. neutral Is PCC a good school? neutral PCC is great! happiness I hope you enjoy it here. happiness

Thank You! What brings yourself over?

Thank me? 0k, and do what ever the hell you want. The teacher will be

neutral Yes, they are. neutral You and Tom also make a great couple. neutral In fact, we are beginning to make preparations. neutral For the wedding? neutral No, no, for the engagement. neutral

I guess you're right.

What? happiness Oh, Steven, my love, can it be true! I

neutral I don't think so. That way it would lose all the charm. I want it to be a surprise. I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last. neutral yeah, that's nice. neutral hmm, I think I've got an idea. Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home. neutral a plant? That's creative. I'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you. But there is a problem. Do you think it'll be able to go through the customs? neutral I hope so. I'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase. I hope it won't cause her trouble at the border. neutral

oh, maybe we could have some kind of paperwork saying this little plant isn ; t dangerous.

well. Let me know if any problems happen. happiness Thanks! We are talking

neutral Yes, it is. There are three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a big kitchen. There's also a garden. happiness Well, that does sound nice. Have they moved in yet? neutral They are moving today. Tom's taken the day off. He's rented a truck, and they should have all their furniture in the house tonight. neutral When are they going to have the party? neutral Next Saturday night. You should get your invitation today or tomorrow. happiness

That sounds like good fun.

Wanna help decorate for them? I love working at home.

neutral Have you ever been to Xi ’ an? neutral Yes, I ’ Ve been there several times on business trips. But I have never really seen the terra-cotta warriors as it is outside the city. neutral I ’ Ve heard many people saying that it is a place worth touring. I really want to see the old walls and terra-cotta warriors one day. Of course I won ’ t miss the local food either. You know, the sites interests a food in scenery, food is a key factor when visiting a place. neutral I agree. As long as the food is not too bizarre once I saw some people eating insects. That is frightening. neutral Sure it is. Is it convenient to get there by plane? neutral

Yeah, It takes about two hours.

Yeah, but be aware of your visa situation if you planed visit China. Many Chinese are

happiness Well, now you know. Let's go to the lake over there. Some people are fishing over there. I haven't had a chance to fish in a lake, I really want to try. happiness I think we need to buy some baits and borrow some fish poles first. happiness Yes. we can get what we need at the stands right by the lake. Who do you think will catch a big fish first? happiness Of course. I will. happiness Wait and see. I want to try horseback riding after fishing. It looks very exciting and fun. happiness

You like it, huh?

You mean, when your face becomes reed red from all the wind? neutral

neutral what do you think will happen to him? neutral well, he'll definitely lose his license, pay a fine, and maybe even spend some time in jail. neutral that doesn't sound too promising. Does he have a defence lawyer? neutral not yet. If we can't find a lawyer for him, then the state will appoint him with one. neutral my sister is a lawyer. I can ask her if she can help him. happiness

That would be great, thanks.

great, but it won't be easy. The system is always heavy-handed against people

neutral I'm sorry you can't borrow a jacket and a tie. neutral Then we return to the hotel and come back.Will you change the appointment? neutral Certainly.What time will you come back? neutral At seven, please. neutral How many in your party? neutral

Only one more---My husband-to be.

Just two---my wife, Linda. disgust Oh! She doesn

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

That's great, Karen.

It helps a lot. The kids really enjoys themselves there. sadness

neutral Tom, is Jenny crying? neutral Can you take he away from me? neutral I ’ m just coming for that. neutral She kept on bothering me. anger She ’ s your sister.What she asked was only duck soup for you.Why can ’ t you be good to her? neutral

What am I supposed do then?

Yes, we ate some delicious food too.

Yeah! My daughter made me some coconut cake which we had afterwards for brad.

neutral Are you used to the climate here? neutral I think I'll soon get used to it. neutral What is the average temperature of Beijing? neutral lt's about 180C, but in winter the temperature may fall to 10-15 degrees below zero. And we have a long winter. neutral Which season do you like best? neutral

In my country autumn comes after summer, while spring comes first. But here everything seems different.

It must be summer because all flowers bloom then and fruits begin to develop. The weather

Did you know that the senior class president works for the class for life? The job doesn't stop when we graduate. surprise Really?

neutral But don't you want to study music? Shouldn't it be easy? neutral It should be, but there are too many options. My grades are good enough that I have a lot of choices, but after that... neutral I know. You have to decide if you want to attend a school in a city or in the country, a big school or a small school, a public or private school... neutral Yup, you understand. And my parents are trying to pressure me into going to a Catholic college. They both attended one and think that it combines a good education with good discipline. And the tuition 3 is usually pretty low. neutral I see. Well, don't forget to talk to the college counselor at the school. He usually gives good advice and can help point you in the right direction.He gave me some information, and next week I'm going to take a look at some of the colleges he recommended. happiness

That sounds like a plan! Good luck.

Wish your luck! 4 surprise Really, what did this guy

neutral I ’ m not sure. What ’ s the difference between them? neutral Public schools are usually state funded, whereas private schools usually get their funding elsewhere. neutral Which is better? neutral One isn ’ t necessarily better than the other. It depends a lot on the school administration and the teachers. neutral I hear you have to wear uniforms at private schools. neutral

Yeah, that's part of how they manage cost so carefully.

neutral I've made arrangements with a friend to help me. neutral You know that I only allow one absence per semester, don't you? neutral Yes, I know. neutral Write down your name and the date on a piece of paper and give it to me. neutral OK, I can do that. neutral

When will my daughter be arriving?

Do not tell anyone. happiness It was really nice meeting you, Mrs White-

sadness It seems so strange to be here, burying you, but it's not you. sadness Ashes to ashes and dust to dust... sadness This has been the worst and best day of my life, Taylor. They kept you in the hospital, and... sadness I'll tell you all about it another day. neutral But you're OK? It was nothing serious, was it? neutral

Oh, yes.That's just what they said.

Oh, no. Just... a bit off- colour really! anger And he

neutral It's the gradual rise in the earth's temperature. neutral I see, so it's similar to global warming? neutral They're related to one another, yes. neutral I heard that some people in England are pleased with the fact that the climate is becoming warmer because it's making their towns a more pleasant place to live. neutral People joke about the benefits of the increase in temperature, but it's not all good news. They've been experiencing a lot of deadly storms there as well. neutral

Do you think that we can stop or even reverse the damage done by Climate change?

Exactly. The w 3 60 My father was born and grew

neutral Yeah, how about your maths teacher? neutral He's an old antique, very serious. neutral Bad luck, Anne. neutral Hey! How about your history teacher? neutral She's another antique. neutral

I don't think so. Anyway, she looks much better! You like her?

happiness Hey, if you're not busy this weekend, would you like to go see a movie? happiness Sounds good. What should we see? happiness How about that European movie? happiness You mean the one starring John Travolta? happiness Yeah, that's the one I've heard the special effects and the plot are outstanding. happiness

No problem! It will make my day.

No problem. We can go together. It would take about 10 minutes by bus from the

neutral It seems that I've been given two classes scheduled at the same time. neutral I can understand the problem with that. neutral Is there any way that you can fix my schedule? neutral No problem, do you want those classes still? neutral Yes, I do. neutral

Do we have an agreement to make?

What are these classes about anyway? happiness Our history of literature is really interesting!

neutral Are the reports favorable? neutral Generally, the reporters take positive lines. They do point out a few problems that we need to be aware of, but there ’ s nothing worrying in the reports. In the classifieds, one of our competitors is a happiness That ’ s interesting. They must be thinking of moving into that market. Are there any interesting editorials? neutral Not really. They all seem to focus on the election. There have been several letters printed in the chronicle regarding that controversial article on drugs that they printed last week. happiness I ’ m not surprised. That article certainly added fuel to the debate. Ok. Thanks. Can you leave two articles and the advertisements with me? I ’ d like to read them. neutral

Yes, no problem. Do remember to return this report when it has finished checking for fact!...

It was so obvious.What should I do? I'm so scared. Can I call the police? neutral Actually, I don't think you can call the police. Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything. And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again, then maybe you should call. fear Why can't I call the police now? He was definitely following me! neutral Of course you can call the police if you want. That's not what I mean. I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything. fear I suppose. What can they do?

neutral You owe some money. neutral Exactly how much do I owe? neutral You owe $ 24.50. neutral I won ’ t be able to pay that right now. neutral Until you pay it, you can ’ t check out books. neutral

Can't we just let it go?

Well, when could my fees get paid off? happiness It doesn'

neutral I do know you like rap music, but the other two are definitely false. I ’ Ve seen you play basketball. neutral Hey! But that's not the only problem. There's also the affirmative action stigma. neutral You mean that people look down upon you because they think you're in school because of a quota? That's not true at all, you're really a smart guy. neutral I know that, but some people don't think like that. And I get problems from teachers as well. surprise Teachers? I didn't think that they would be racist at all. neutral

They aren't, but if somebody is doing something different and bettering himself by it.

Some are and others aren't... if that makes any sense. sadness

Are you crazy about it? You know that Beijing Opera is supposed for the smart,

She told him about it, and then...

No. She didn't tell him about it for two years! surprise Are

All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair! neutral Is there anyone else you can talk to about it at you company? neutral Not really. I'm hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion. neutral That's very sensible. It sounds like you have a good head on you shoulders. neutral

You bet your life.

Thanks, but nothing seems more unbearable than dealing everyday. With such rough-

happiness There we go. Can you help me with the umbrella? Perfect. happiness Ok kids, here ’ sa beach ball and a Frisbee, a pail and a shovel. I want to see an impressive sandcastle by the time we leave. Don ’ t stray too far. Wait! Leave your sandals here or put on your wet shoes. happiness And stay in the shallow area. I don ’ t want to see you go any farther than that sandbar! It ’ s too deep out there and we didn ’ t bring your floatier. neutral You ’ re back already? The water was too cold, huh? I ’ ll tell you a secret. Do you see that small pool of water over there? It ’ ll be warmer in there. Go see if you can find some seashells or catch some minnows. neutral What is that? A jellyfish? Jeremy, put that down right now! It could sting you! neutral

April has good weather that isn't too cold or too hot. happiness Yes, that would work out better. happiness You know, maybe we could take a survey to see how that works for everyone. happiness Good idea!

Okay. Here ‘ s the money. Thanks a lot. surprise Wake up

neutral Oh, I ’ m sorry. I didn ’ t know. neutral It ’ s all right. There are so many Christians in America that everybody takes it for granted that I ’ m Christian. neutral I guess so. So what do you do around this time of year? neutral Well, I ’ ll celebrate Hanukah soon, but that ’ s not as important to us as Christmas is to you. Mainly I ’ ll just enjoy the holiday break. neutral Well, would you be horribly offended if I invited you to a Christmas party at my house? neutral

Not really. What else did she say?

neutral I don ’ t often go for walks, but I either play sports outside-you know, tennis or badminton-or just sit in the sunshine and read a good book. neutral What do you do in winter? neutral Well, I play sports indoors quite often. If I ’ m feeling lazy, I just watch a film at home. I prefer summer to winter. neutral I think most people do. I like wearing nice, colorful clothes in summer, you know, a nice dress or skirt. It ’ s too cold for those kinds of clothes in winter. happiness Yes. I like wearing shorts in summer. My legs would freeze! neutral

Do you usually wear jeans?

We shouldn't be saying all this, Steven! Don't you see that girl walking along

Please do so as soon as possible.

neutral It would probably be very expensive. neutral I think the government can afford it. Besides, there are many advantages. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address. They would learn some useful skill for finding jobs i neutral It ’ s not a bad idea. I think education is the biggest problem at the moment. Schools don ’ t seem to have enough money to educate kids properly. neutral If we are to invest more money to education, we will need to raise taxes. That wouldn ’ t be popular with voters. neutral Most voters what everything both ways. They want the government to pay for lots of things, but without increasing taxes. neutral

There seems no clear way forward.

You know that ’ s just not going to happen. There has to be one or other!
