1.A: So where are you working now, Terry?
B: Oh, I’m still at the bank. I don’t like it, though.
A: That’s too bad. Why not?
B: Well, it’s boring, and it doesn’t pay very well.
A: I know what you mean. I don’t like my job either. I wish I could find a better job.
B: Actually, I don’t want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.
A: Hmm, how old are you, Terry?
B: Uh, twenty-six.
2.A: So how are things going with you and Susie, Terry?
B: Oh, you didn’t know? She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot.
I wish we could get back together again.
A: I’m sure you will.
B: I really hope so. So what kind of job would you like to look for?
A: I’m not sure, but I’d love something that would involve travel. And I’d really like to move to another city. I’m sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.
B: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.

1. A: Ugh! I feel awful. I really have to stop smoking.
B: So why don't you quit?
A: Well, if I quit, I might gain weight!
B: A lot of people do, but...
A: And if I gain weight, I won't be able to fit into any of clothes!
B: Well, you can always go on a diet.
A: Oh, no. I'm terrible at losing weight on diets. So if my clothes don't fit, I'll have to buy new ones. I'll have to get a part-time job, and...
B: Listen, it is hard to quit, but it's not that hard. Do you want to know how I did it?
2.A: Well, giving up smoking isn't really as hard as you think. I managed to do it, so it can't be that difficult. You should try a nicotine gum. You chew it just like regular chewing gum, and you don't feel like smoking.
B: Well, I guess it's worth a try.
3.Yeah, I really need a change. I’ve been doing the same things for over five years now, and I’m just not learning anything new. It’s the same routine every day, and I am really sick of sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.
4.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.
5.Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. I’ve gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat. And if I don’t lose weight now, I won’t be able to get into any of my summer clothes.

1.A: Hey, this sounds good — snails with garlic! Have you ever eaten snails? B: No, I haven’t
A: Oh, they’re delicious! I had them last time. Like to try some?
B: No, thanks. They sound strange.
C: Have you decided on an appetizer yet?
A: Yes. I’ll have the snails, please.
C: And you, sir?
B: I think I’ll have the fried brains.
A: Fried brains? Now that really sound strange!
2.A: Oh, good. Here comes the waitress now!
C: Here are your snails, madam. And for you, sir…the fried brains.
B: Thank you.
A: Mmm, these snails are delicious! How are the brains?
B: Well, I think they’re…yuck! Oh, sorry, I guess brains are pretty strange after all. Um, I think I’m going to order something else, if you don’t mind. A: Oh, sure. Go ahead.
B: Miss! Excuse me, miss!
C: Yes?
B: Uh, I really don’t care for this appetizer. Could you bring me something else?
C: Yes, of course. What would you like instead?
A: Try the snails.
B: No, I don’t think so. I’ll tell you what. Just forget an appetizer for me, and bring me a nice, juicy hamburger…medium rare…with French fries and a large soda.
3.Have you finished with this
A: Have you finished with this?
B: No, I’m still drinking it. Thanks.
4.A: Did you order this?
B: Yes, that’s mine. Mmm, it looks great and smells delicious!
5.A: Don’t you like it?
B: I haven’t tasted it yet. I’m waiting for the waitress to bring me a fork.
6.A: Did you enjoy it?
B: Well, it was a little tough. I think it was cooked for too long.
7.A: How is it?
B: Great. Just the way I like it: black and strong.
8.A: Your turn or mine?
B: It’s my treat this time. You paid last time. Remember?

1.A: I’m so excited! We have two weeks off! What are you going to do? B: I’m not sure. I guess I’ll just stay home. Maybe I’ll catch up on my reading. What about you? Any plans?
A: Well, my parents have rented a condominium in Florida. I’m going to take long walks along the beach every day and do lots of swimming.
B: Sounds great!
A: Say, why don’t you come with us? We have plenty of room.
B: Do you mean it? I’d love to!
2.A: Have you planned anything for the summer, Brenda?
