W: How much should I pay you?

M: That’ll be $375. Cash or credit card?

W: Were you born in America, Jack?

M: No, I was born in Canada. But I’m living in England now.

W: I can’t believe it. Susan wore white today!

M: What’s wrong with wearing white clothes?

W: It’s winter now. Everyone knows that you shouldn’t wear white in winter.

Text 4

M: We aren’t done yet. We need about 15 more minutes.

W: Sure. Just let me know when you’re ready. I’ll have the taxi driver wait for you while you  

   finish up the meeting. Remember that your flight is at 8:00, OK?

M: Where should we go for winter break this year? We went to Spain last year.

W: I was thinking of traveling to Switzerland. I hear the skiing is amazing there.

Text 6

M: I don’t have anything to do.

W: Why don’t you find a way to help someone?

M: Do you need help?

W: No, your sister Janie can’t understand her math homework for today.

M: I can help her! I’m very good at math. I always get A’s.

W: Good idea! I’m sure she will be happy.

W: Your daughters are so cute! I can’t believe they’re only seven years old. How did they learn so 

   much already?

M: Well, my wife and I have been reading to them since they were very young. So they became  

   interested in reading at a young age. They’ve both been reading well since the age of five.

W: That’s wonderful! I wish my son would do that, too.

M: Don’t worry too much about him. He’ll read more when he’s ready. It’s better to let him do

   what he’s most interested in. He’s only six, right?

W: Hi, Tom! Are you OK?

M: Oh, I’ve got a cold again and I easily get tired in spring.

W: Why not try some exercise? It will help a lot.

M: Well, you’re right. But I don’t have time to go to a gym. I’ve been too busy lately.

W: You don’t have to go to a gym. You can walk or ride a bicycle to work.

M: But I don’t have a bicycle.

W: Ah, I got it. But you see, our office is on the fifth floor. You can just walk up and down the 

   stairs instead of taking a lift. That would be better than any exercise machine in the gym.

M: Oh, Mary, you really have a point there. I will have a try tomorrow.

M: Would you take a look at this for me, dear? I have to make my research paper shorter, but I   

   don’t know which parts to cut out. I just can’t decide. Maybe you can give me a fresh opinion.

W: Sure, I’ll do that. Let me see…

M: Take your time. I needn’t hand it in until next Monday. But if you can look it over by Friday,  

   I’ll have the whole weekend to work on it.

W: I can finish it by then. On Thursday, I only have a few short meetings. I should have plenty of

   time to help you out.

M: It’s pretty long, as you can see…55 pages.

W: I’ll be able to do it. I’ll just sit down at the Black Point Cafe all afternoon!
