M: Are we leaving for our science field trip this Wednesday?
W: We are setting out this Friday morning and will be back next Tuesday. Can you mark that on your calendar? 
M: Yes. I’ll write that down.

W: Will it rain today? I can’t stand this kind of heat! 
M: No. We’d better stay at home. 
W: You’re right. Anyway, it’s cool inside the room with the air conditioner on.

M: I’m thinking about moving out of my place. 
W: How come? Is it far from your workplace? 
M: No. With three kids growing up and reaching school age, my house is too small.

M: I seem to be putting on weight these days.
  W: I think you’d better do some sports or at least stop eating too much meat and sweets.

W: Ouch!
M: Are you all right? 
W: Yes. I’m OK. I just fell over. Can you please help me up? I can’t stand up with the skis on. 
M: Sure. Is this your first time skiing? 
W: Yes. I usually go skating or go swimming in winter. 
M: You should take the beginner’s class for some basic skills. 
W: Really? Do they have a class like that? 
M: Yes. The coach here will teach you how to walk, slide, turn, slow down and stop. You can ask the staff over there for more details. 
W: OK. Thanks!

M: Hello, Lucy. This is Sam. Look, I’m on my way to the airport. Could you do something for me? I forgot a file in the office. It’s on my desk. Can you see it? 
W: Yes. It’s here.
M: Good. Could you send it to me by overnight delivery to the Hilton Hotel in Sydney?
W: OK, but I’m busy at the moment. The boss has just asked me to prepare for a meeting this afternoon. I’ll get Carol to do it. 
M: That would be great! Thanks!
W: That’s all right. Have a good trip.

M: Hi, Nancy! It’s a long time since we last met. What have you been up to?
W: Hi, Tom! Great to see you again. I’ve been away on business.
M: Oh, where did you go?
W: Well, I flew to New York for two meetings. Good to be home again. What have you been doing lately?
M: Oh, nothing much. I’ve been staying at home, working in the garden these days. Look at the flowers I have just planted. 
W: Oh, how beautiful. Ah, is Alice home? 
M: No. She is visiting her relatives in Chicago.
W: I didn’t know she has family in Chicago.
M: She was born there.
W: How long have you lived here in Boston?
M: We’ve lived here for over 10 years. We moved here in 2002 because I got my present job as an engineer. Alice and I love this neighborhood. Well, I have to get going. Have a good day.
W: You, too. Bye!

M:  This is my fifth day at the summer camp. Life isn’t exactly what I expected. 
We have to get up early to make our beds before our teacher comes to inspect. After breakfast, we have some free time. Yesterday I went down to the nearby stream to fish, but the only thing I caught was a tree branch. Great catch, Huh? Well, in the afternoon, there are different activities like singing, horseback riding, and hiking. None is new to me. In the evening, everyone is assigned a different task to get dinner ready. Yesterday, I was in charge of preparing the hotdogs, but I accidentally dropped them in the fire. The other kids are always laughing at me about it. At night, we sit around a campfire and tell stories. That’s the most interesting moment to me, but one night while trying to find more sticks for the fire, I almost got lost in the forest.  
Well, today is another day and I will go home the day after tomorrow.
