Conversation 1
W: Can I help you?
M:
Well.
I
’
m
not
sure.
I
hope
so.
You
see,
actually,
I
’
m
getting
married
soon.
And my friends want to buy me presents
and things.
W:
And would you like some things for the kitchen?
M:
Yes,
that
’
s
right.
I
thought
if
I
could
find
out
about
kitchen
things.
They
would be the best sorts
of presents.
W:
Well. I suppose the first thing you need is a
cooker. Do you want an electric
one or
a gas one?
M:
Em. I think I
’
d probably
prefer a gas one. But cookers are very expensive,
aren
’
t they? How
much is this one?
W: It
’
s one
hundred and seventy five pounds, including tax and
delivery. It
’
s a
very good one though.
M: But
it
’
s a lot of money,
isn
’
t it? What sorts of
things could I ask people to buy?
You
know, cheaper.
W: Well. You need some pans,
won
’
t you? A set of
saucepans, I suppose. And
frying pans.
Do you like cooking?
M: Yes. I suppose so.
W: Well. In that case, you
might like a mixer. If you make cakes and things
like
that, it
’
ll
save you a lot of time. And a blender too.
That
’
s good if you make soup
and
things.
M: Em. That
’
s a
thought.
W:
Something
else
you
might
use
is
a
set
of
these
knives,
you
know,
carving
knives, bread knives, steak knives,
fruit knives, potato peeling knives.
M: Heavens! I never knew
that there were so many sorts.
W: Oh, yes. Come over here
and I
’
ll show you some more.

M: Good morning, Mrs. Thompson.
W:
Oh,
Mr.
Minizuka,
please
come
in
and
sit
down.
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
something
that
’
s come up.
M:
What
’
s
up
? Anyway I will be glad to help you
with anything I can.
W: Some advice,
Mr. Minizuka.
I’
ve been
offered a new job.
M: A new job?
W: As a matter of fact, it
isn
’
t the bank in New York.
M: Is the offer from another bank?
W:
It
’
s
from
the
International
Bank
for
Reconstruction
and
Development
in
Washington.
M: You mean the World Bank?
W: That
’
s right.
And it is really very unexpected I must say.
M:
You
’
ve established a
reputation in international banking circles. May I
ask what
kind of position
they
’
ve offered you?
W:
A
rather
important
one,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
deputy
director
of
the
International
