neutral Me? I ’ m even less experienced than you are. neutral At least you know what American women generally like in a man. neutral Believe it or not, I guess American women like a man in good shape, which Chinese women may not care about so much. That ’ s my honest opinion. I know you have been trying very hard. neutral American men are naturally taller than Chinese men. So even if I exercise, there aren ’ t many chances. neutral No, that ’ s not true. I ’ Ve met two American women who were married to Chinese. But those Chinese look very strong and healthy. So if you exercise more often, I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls. How old is Jacky Chan? He ’ s small and short. But I bet he can have any American woman he wants. neutral

It depends on the person, right?

It takes years of exercises to get the kinda

neutral Have you heard that new song by the Beastie Boys? neutral Why do you listen to rap? neutral It's not much different from that heavy metal music you like so much. neutral Heavy metal music is a lot different from rap music.You can dance to heavy metal. happiness Hey, you can dance to rap music! neutral

You haven ’ t ever seen me dancing. happiness I guess it all depends

You won't believe this.

You guess! surprise Really... it doesn't take you a hundred times

surprise Really? You only review your lessons in one month? Does it work? neutral Of course, it's useful. And it's very crucial to have the copies of teacher's notes, because most questions in the exam are based on them. surprise Wow, and all the key points are included in them? You're so smart! neutral But the exam is not as simple as you may imagine. We have to stay up late. neutral Do you have the classrooms open for the whole night? neutral

Not always, but some people do that.

Yes, sometimes we even need to do that after a weekend! happiness Oh

neutral What is your current occupation? neutral I am a journalist. I write for China Daily. neutral Did you know that you wanted to be a journalist right after your graduation? neutral No, I didn ’ t. I started working at a university in London but as time went by, I found I did not really like my job. I decided to explore other fields. Journalism is great fit for me as well as a challenge. neutral Do you like your current job? happiness

It's interesting and challenging.

Absolutely yes. As the saying goes,'It's good being famous than rich ;

neutral Do you want a cigarette? neutral No, thank you. I've given up, you know. neutral You don't mind if I have one. neutral Well, all tight. But you know, smoking does do harm to your health. neutral Yes, you are right. neutral

Why did you give it up then?

Why not go in for the new fad-celloph tipping? It is really good

neutral That sounds smart... but kind of boring. neutral Yeah, it is, a little bit. I joined the Great Outdoors Club, though, which has been a lot of fun. We've gone on two camping trips already, and I've made some good friends. neutral That's cool. Hey, so have you decided on your major yet? neutral Definitely pre-med. What about you? neutral I still have no clue... but we don't have to declare a major till our sophomore year, so I've got time! Oops, I'm late for class. Gotta run! happiness

It really looks nice outside today!

See ya, Lily! surprise Huh? Are they all in my face

neutral It ’ s over. neutral What is over? neutral Our relationship. I mean my friend and I... neutral Any reasons? neutral The cause is another boy. neutral

How come he was so popular with you.

Really? Why do you say that. happiness Honey... it'

neutral How did you do on your BELTS exam? happiness Fantastic! I got an overall score of eight. happiness That's excellent! Have you received your conditional offers yet? neutral Yes. I'm just waiting until I officially get admitted to the university with a conditional offer to apply for my visa. neutral Do you know where the visa office is? neutral

Not exactly. Where does it stand?

Of course! It ’ sa few minutes from London's Lakeside.

neutral We ’ Ve been over this a thousand times. The data is irrefutable! Look, we ’ Ve done extensive research, built studies, and read the literature, and there is conclusive evidence to support my theory! neutral Horowitz, I beg to differ. Even in your most recent study, the investigative approach was flawed! You know as well as I do that the collection of data was not systematic, and there is a large margin of error. To draw a definitive conclusion based on that data would be misleading neutral That is preposterous! neutral You are trying to single-handedly solve one of the world ’ s greatest mysteries, and yet you are oblivious to the fact that you are wrong! neutral I am not wrong! The chicken came first! neutral

What about the egg?

Why must everything always come back to the egg. sadness Hey man! This

Okay! Good night. S sleep well, honey! disgust It was

neutral The only thing is that my pen friend will be writing in English. neutral Oh, he wants to practice his language skills, too. neutral That's right. And it's a B that I'll be writing too. Her name is Olga. neutral Maybe Olga can introduce you to some of her friends who can write to you in German and you can do the same for her with your friends to write her in English. happiness That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? happiness

You are very friendly.

Because all our ideas are different! disgust Hey... this isn't

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

Oh well, it happens to all of us.

The thrillers are my special favor.

All genres except feature movies. disgust Maybe it's better for

Some people play sports to get exercise and relaxation. But, i find reading more comfortable.

Some times, I go to see movies. And other times happiness Thank a

neutral I ’ m betting the New York Yankees win. How about you? neutral Well, I ’ m favor of the Red Sox. They ’ Ve had a good season. neutral Sorry, guys. Could I just interrupt for a moment? My money is on the Yankees! neutral That ’ s not a very good pick. I ’ m against the Yankees. neutral Hey, Ken. Good luck if you already put your money on the Red Sox. neutral

It doesn't matter because my father lives in America so he can still watch.

Thanks, Karen! But that still doesn ’ t mean much.

neutral I know. You hate the rain, don't you? neutral I certainly do. neutral And a Roman really Ioves life. Eye knows how to enjoy himself. neutral They always eat spaghetti and drink wine, don't they? neutral Not always. But they like a good meal. Lots of tourists go to Rome just for the food, you know. surprise

Really? How could anyone be so crazy.

Oh? happiness The pizza there is incredible.You haven't had

neutral I've never had a part in a play before, but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school. neutral What did you do? neutral I helped build the sets and find props for the plays. What about you? neutral I once helped out with costumes, but I didn't enjoy it very much. neutral Why not? neutral

The clothes were too old-fashioned.

Well, there wasn 3't really anything to see... more

neutral That's good to know. We'll watch for crazy drivers. neutral Hey, guys. Ready for a pick-up game of touch football? surprise Football? Sounds dangerous. Maybe I'll just be a cheerleader. neutral C'mon, Yi-jun. It's lots of fun. You've seen football played on TV. neutral Uh, yeah. And I've seen guys in pads tackled. We have no pads.

Just try it and see.

Just go along with this. The cheers are easy--'Whoa?!... Dear

neutral Hi, Cindy. I thought I ’ d missed you. neutral Oh, I am very sorry, Hans. Thank you for waiting for me. You must have been here a long time already. neutral It ’ s all right. neutral I was caught in the heavy rain, or I would have come earlier. I am sorry I kept you waiting. neutral I was in a comfortable place, so really, it ’ s no problem. I am happy to see you. Did the rain hold you up long? neutral

For about half an hour.

Yeah, but after that. 20 minutes of downpour and hail! The whole

neutral I am 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 school. neutral

Yup, some places do require that.

Yeah, they look very professional. happiness Wow! This looks

Do you have any advice for me? neutral yeah, you should first decide what kind of career you really want, plan your career path, and then try your best to achieve your goal. neutral I think perhaps I need to buy a few years while I figure out about my career. neutral no, you can't waste your time wandering around. If you want a job that requires a higher degree or diploma, you should focus on your graduate school entrance exam ; if you want a job that needs working happiness

Thanks for sharing with us.

It doesn't seem as bad now, right! disgust No way

neutral I know what you mean. People would stare at you in amazement if you wore something like that in an everyday situation. I suppose only extravagant rich people wear them at cocktail parties. neutral Maybe. I ’ m not sure why they have fashion shows like this. Hardly anyone will buy those clothes. The clothes you see are nothing like the ones that ordinary people wear. It seems like a waste of money. neutral I think that the designers hold these fashion shows for a few reasons. First, it ’ s just like a big party. They can meet each other and network. The other thing is that it is great advertising. All the journalists and photographers are there. Thirdly, it give them a chance to show what they would like to see people wearing. neutral You meant it ’ s an expression of their fantasies? neutral Yes. I think the designers are saying that these clothes are what they would like to see people wear if those people weren ’ t concerned with what other people might think. In a way, the designers are saying ‘ don ’ t worry about what others think. Wear what you like! ’. neutral

That sounds really philosophical but probably quite true too... What do most women want then?

What do YOU want yourself.? happiness That sounds nice! But, my

I have no bone to pick with him. neutral Birds of feather flock together. neutral But he is not a fine wether friend who could sell you down the river. neutral You cannot judge a person that way. I have a hunch that he is a sly dog. neutral

Do you think so?

How do we know each other? disgust We met last week in

neutral No, not really. neutral So you are not sure how long it will take to get there? neutral No, but I am sure it won't take more than an hour. neutral Don't forget it's Friday nighty.

I appreciate the snow very much. happiness Yes, It's really so beautiful with all the things covered by snow. neutral By the way, where can I go ski? neutral

Why, you need not worry about that.

Do you have the guts? neutral I'm just asking. It's not like I'd actually make a bid. neutral Just don't come looking to me for help. neutral Don't worry. I won't. neutral

It's the biggest dragon lantern I've ever seen in all my life. surprise Really? Then I'm really lucky. Oh, it's spewing fireworks from its huge mouth. happiness Very impressive.

How is him now? neutral

He has graduated from Pekin University last May, but his job situation seems a little bad.

Not bad. He seemed very happy when we saw his new car last week, so much that even

neutral But we have a policy of paying according to seniority in the company, so new employees get quite low salary, no matter how excellent they have done. neutral That's shortsighted. By the time the workers are experienced and contributing. They are likely to go. neutral That's why I am going to leave. neutral But you have already worked there for five years. neutral I am worried about my future. I can't believe that our company is as big as it is. The company can only continue to grow by taking care of its staff. neutral

What else do you want us?

Well, this way your choice seems perfectly justified. anger Yeah! You said

happiness And my first nephew. He looks a lot like you, mum. He does. happiness Do you think so? Well, I guess. He does look a lot like me. Oh, he ’ s got Richard ’ s eyes though. happiness Yes, he does have Richard ’ s eyes. The baby even looks like you than Richard does. happiness Well, children usually resemble their parents. happiness It ’ s true. Michelle is a lot like Henry in so many ways. And she is shy with new people just like he is. happiness

You are very good.

That makes them easy to approach when the meet somebody, doesn't it. happiness
