M:Oh,
I
’
m really sorry, are you
OK?
W:I
’
m fine, but
I
’
M not very good at this.
M:Neither am I, say are you
from south America? Did you grow up there?
W:Yes, I did, but my family
moved here 8years ago when I was in high school.
M:And where did you learn
the rollerblade?
W:Here in
the park, this is only my second time.
M:Well, it
’
s my
first time, can you give me some lessons?
W:Sure, just follow me.
M:By the way,
my name is Ted.
W:And
I
’
m Anna, nice to meet you.
Intermediate 1-2
M:Hey, hey! That was fun. Thanks for
the lesson!
W:No problem.
So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you
do?
M:I work in a travel
agency.
W:Really! What do
you do here?
M:I
’
m in charge
of their computers.
W:Oh,
so you
’
re computer
specialist.
M:Well, sort
of. Yeah, I guess so.
W:That
’
s great.
Then maybe you can give me some help with a
computer course I
’
m taking.
M:Oh, sure~ But only if you
promise to give me some more rollerblading
lessons.
W:It
’
s a deal!

W1:Where are you from originally, Yu
Hong?
W2:I
’
m from
China~ from near Shanghai.
W1:And when did you move here?
W2:I came here after I
graduated from college. That was in 1992.
W1:And what do you do now?
W2:I
’
m a
transportation engineer.
W1:I see. So
you
’
re an immigrant to the
United States.
W2:Yes,
that
’
s right.
W1:What are some of the difficulties of
being an immigrant in the U.S.?
W2:Oh, that
’
s not
an easy question to answer. There are so many
things, really. I guess one of the
biggest difficulty is that
I don
’
t have any relatives
here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but
that
’
s
not the same thing. In
China, on holidays or the weekend, we visit
relatives. It isn
’
t the same
here.
W1:And what did you miss
the most from home?
W2:Oh,
that
’
s easy: my
mom
’
s soup! She makes great
soup! I really miss my
mother
’
s cooking.

M:Hey! Are these pictures of you
when you were a kid?
W:Yeah! That
’
s me
in front of my uncle
’
s beach
house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two
weeks there
every summer.
M:Wow, I bet
that was fun!
W:Yeah. We
always had a great time. Every day we used to get
up early and walk along the beach.
I had a great shell
collection. In fact, I think
it
’
s still up in the attic!

M:Hey, I used to collect shells, too,

Intermediate 3-2
M:You know what I remember most about
growing up?
W:What?
M:Visiting my
grandparent
’
s house. You
know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out of
the
country,
and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He
taught me how to ride. I just love that
horse-and she
loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending
time at my grandparents
’
house.
And
every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.
W:Ah, memories!
Intermediate 4-1
W:Why is there never a bus when you
want one?
M:Good question.
There aren
’
t enough buses on
this route.
W:Sometimes I
feel like writing a letter to the paper.
M:Good idea. You should say
that we need more subway lines, too.
W:Yeah, there should be more public
transportation in general.
M:And fewer cars!
There
’
re too much traffic.
W:Say, is that our bus
coming?
M:Yes, it is. But,
look, it
’
s full.
W:Oh,no! Let
’
s go
and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this
letter I
’
m going to write.
Intermediate 4-2
M:So, are you really going to write a
letter to the paper?
W:Sure, I
’
m going
to say something about the buses.
They
’
re too old. We need
more modern
buses~ nice air conditioned ones.

M:And they need to put more buses on
the road.
W:Right, and
there are too many cars downtown, and there
isn
’
t enough parking.
M:That
’
s for
sure. It
’
s impossible to
find a parking space downtown these days.
W:I think they should ban
private cars downtown between nine and five.
M:Oh, you mean they should
allow any cars except taxis and buses during
regular workday?
M:Hmm~
That sounds like a really good idea.
Intermediate 5-1
W:Excuse
me, could you tell me where the bank is?
M:There
’
s one
upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.
W:Oh, thanks. Do you know
what time it opens?
M:It
shouldn
’
t be open now. It
opens at 8 a.m.
W:Good. And
can you tell me how often the buses leave for the
city?
M:You need to check
at the transportation counter.
It
’
s right down the hall.
W:OK. And one more thing.
Do you know where the nearest restroom is?
M:Right behind you,
ma
’
am. See that sign?
W:Oh, thanks a lot.
Intermediate 5-2
W:Excuse me. It
’
s
me again. I
’
m sorry. I need
some more information-if you
don
’
t mind.
M:Not at all.
W:Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi
costs to the city?
M:Well,
it depends on the traffic, of course. But it
usually costs about $$40.
W:$$40? I guess
I
’
ll take the bus. That
means I have almost an hour till the next one.
Where could I
find an inexpensive restaurant in the
airport? Maybe a fast-food place?

M:Quite a
number of things have been done to help solve
traffic problems in Singapore. For
example, motorists must buy
a special pass if they want to drive into the
downtown business
district. They can go into the business
district only if they have the pass displayed on
their
windshield. Another thing Singapore has
done is to make it difficult to buy cars. People
have to
apply
for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And
the number of certificates is limited. Not
everyone can
get one. There is also a high tax on cars. So it
costs three or four times as much to
buy a car in Singapore as
it does in, say, the United States or Canada. The
other thing Singapore
has done is to build an excellent
public transportation system. Their subway system
is one of the
best in the world. And there is also a
very good and taxi and bus system.

M:What do you think?
W1:Well, it has just as many bedrooms
as the last apartment. And the living room is
huge.
W2:But the bedrooms
are too small. And there
isn
’
t enough closet space
for my clothes.
M:And
it
’
s not as cheap as the
last apartment we saw.
W1:But that apartment was dark and
dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.
M:Let
’
s see if
the real estate agent has something else to show
us. Well, how do you like this
place, then?
W2:Oh,
it
’
s
much
better
than
that
other
one.
The
thing
I
like
best
is
the
bedrooms.
They
are
huge!

W1:Yes, they are nice and big.
W2:And they are two

W1:Yes, I guess you could.
W2:The only problem is the
color of the living room. I really
don
’

walls.
M:Oh,
I

if we want to.

M:Creative
Rentals. Good morning.
W:Hello. I
’
m
calling the apartment you have for rent.
M:Yes, what can I tell you
about it?
W:Where is it
exactly?
M:It
’
s on King
Street, just off the freeway.
W:Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear
the traffic?
M:Yes,
I
’
m afraid you do hear some.
But the apartment has lots of space. It has three
bedrooms
and a
very large living room.
W:I
see. And is it in a new building?
M:Well, the building is about 50 years
old.
W:Uh-huh. Well,
I
’
ll think about it.
M:OK, thanks for calling.
W:Thank you. Bye.

W:Yes, it is.
M:Can you tell me a little about it?
W:Well,
it
’
s a perfect apartment for
one person. It
’
s one room
with a kitchen at one end.
M:I see. And is it far away from the
subway?
W:There
’
s subway
station just down the street. Actually, the
apartment is located right
downtown., so you step out of the
building and there are stores and restaurant
everywhere. But
it
’
s on a high
floor, so you don
’
t hear any
street or traffic noise.
M:It
’
s sounds
just like the kind of place
I
’
m looking for.
I
’
d like to come see it,
please.
W:Sure, let me give
you the address.
Intermediate 9-1
M:Yeah, I
really need a change. I
’
ve
been doing the same thing for over five years now,
and I
’
m
just learning anything new.
It
’
s the same routine every
day, and I
’
m really sick of
sitting in front of
the computer. I think I need to try
something totally different. I want to be in a
profession that
involves meeting people.
Intermediate 9-2
W:I really
need to join a club or sports team to give me
something to do on weekends. I get really
bored on the
weekends. And if I joined a club,
I
’
d probably get to meet
people and make new
friends.

M:I should
take a typing course this summer. I really need it

M2:Well,
it

M1:I know what you mean. I
don

wish I could find a better job.
M2:Actually, I

M2:Uh, twenty-six.
Intermediate 10-2
M1:So, how are things going

M2:Oh, you didn

I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back
together again.
M1:I

will.
M2:I

hope so. So what kind of job would you like to
look for?
M1:I
’
m not sure,
but I
’
d love something that
would involve travel. And
I’
d really like to move to
another city.
I

get boring around here at times.
